(Docket No. 128)
NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the Court is an order for Plaintiff to show cause why she should not be sanctioned for failing to comply with the Court's order requiring her personal appearance at a hearing on her prior attorney's renewed motion to withdraw as counsel. Docket No. 128. Plaintiff submits she did not receive notice regarding counsel's renewed motion to withdraw. See Docket No. 135; see also Docket No. 140. Plaintiff further submits that she did not agree to his withdrawal. Id. Finally, Plaintiff asks that the Court grant her up to 90 days to obtain new counsel. Id.
The Court finds that Plaintiffs statement regarding lack of notice about the hearing conflicts with representations made at the hearing by both her prior counsel and defense counsel. Nonetheless, the Court declines to issue sanctions at this time. Further, the Court GRANTS in part Plaintiff's request for an extension of time regarding new counsel. Plaintiff's new counsel must file a notice of appearance, or Plaintiff must file a notice of intent to proceed pro se, in this matter no later than February 21, 2019.
Plaintiff is ADMONISHED that she must comply with all orders issued by this Court. Failure to do so may result in sanctions. In all other respects, the order to show cause is DISCHARGED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
