MOTION TO WITHDRAW OF COUNSEL OF RECORD

GEORGE FOLEY, JR., Magistrate Judge.

Lawrence VanDyke, who has appeared in this proceeding as counsel for Defendant Barbara Cegavske, Secretary of State (Defendant), respectfully moves this Court for an Order permitting Mr. VanDyke to withdraw as counsel for the Defendant, in the above captioned matter. In support of this motion, Mr. VanDyke states the following:

1. Mr. VanDyke will leave the employment of the State of Nevada, Office of the Attorney General in January 2019.

2. Local Rule IA 11-6(b) provides, "No attorney may withdraw after appearing in a case except by leave of the court after notice has been served on the affected client and opposing counsel."

3. The Office of the Attorney General has received notice of Mr. VanDyke's intent withdraw from this case.

4. Opposing counsel will receive notice of this Motion to Withdraw as Counsel of Record via the CM/ECF system.

5. Local Rule 1A 11-6(e) provides, "no withdraw or substitution will be approved if it will result in delay of discovery, the trial, or any hearing in the case." No delay of any kind will result from Mr. VanDyke's withdrawal because the Office of the Attorney General has representation in place for the Defendant, Barbara Cegavske, Secretary of State, who have previously appeared in this proceeding.

For these reasons, Mr. VanDyke respectfully moves this Court for an Order permitting Mr. VanDyke to withdraw as counsel for the Defendant, Barbara Cegavske, Secretary of State, in the above captioned matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
