ORDER
DEBRA C. POPLIN, Magistrate Judge.
This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Rules of this Court, and Standing Order 13-02.
Now before the Court is a Motion to Withdraw as Attorney of Record for Defendant Aegis Capital Corporation [Doc. 176]. Specifically, the attorneys from Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP ("Eversheds Sutherland") and Bass, Berry & Sims PLC ("Bass Berry") request an order from the Court permitting their withdrawal as counsel of record for Defendant Aegis Capital Corporation ("Aegis"). For grounds, the Motion states that conflicts have arisen in the course of the attorney-client relationship that preclude further representation in this matter and constitute extraordinary circumstances under Local Rule 83.4(g). The Court observes that on February 1, 2019, Attorney Wayne Ritchie, II, of the firm Ritchie, Dillard, Davies & Johnson, P.C., filed a Notice of Appearance [Doc. 178] on behalf of Aegis.
Because continuity of counsel is ensured, the Court finds the Motion to Withdraw as Attorney of Record for Defendant Aegis Capital Corporation [Doc. 176] well taken, and it is GRANTED. The attorneys with Eversheds Sutherland and Bass Berry are RELIEVED of their duties as counsel for Aegis, and Attorney Wayne Ritchie with Ritchie, Dillard, Davies & Johnson, P.C., is hereby SUBSTITUTED as counsel of record for Aegis
IT IS SO ORDERED.
