The court has this date entered the attached order permitting Cheryl F. Perkins and the firm of Whetstone Perkins & Fulda LLC to withdraw as attorney of record for Vickie Watts, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Dorothy Jones in this action.
The court will allow Ms. Watts thirty (30) days within which to notify the court of the identity of the new attorney to represent her in this case or, alternatively, of her desire to proceed with this litigation without an attorney.1 To this end, Ms. Watts shall, within thirty (30) days from the date of this order, complete the attached notice and mail it to the Clerk of Court at the address indicated. If Ms. Watts fails to file the attached letter with the Clerk within the time prescribed, the court will assume that she intends to proceed in this litigation pro se or without the benefit of an attorney. If Ms. Watts chooses to proceed pro se, she remains responsible for insuring that the Clerk of Court has her current address.
If no new attorney is obtained, Ms. Watts is specifically advised that the court will expect this litigation to be conducted in accordance with all provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Failure to comply could have serious consequences including, but not limited to, striking a claim or defense or a pleading.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
