This matter comes before the Court on the Motion for Dorsey & Whitney LLP to Withdraw as Attorneys for now-deceased Defendant David Profant and to Stay Litigation ("Motion"). Dkt. 29. The Court has considered the relevant documents, including the Motion, and the remainder of the file herein.
Under Local Rule 83.2, withdrawal of attorneys is permissible where a motion for withdrawal is properly noted and includes a certification that the motion was served on the client, or in this case the deceased client's next of kin, and opposing counsel. LCR 83.2(b).
Dorsey & Whitney LLP's Motion complies with LCR 83.2. See Dkt. 29. With Mr. Profant's death Dorsey & Whitney LLP does not have a client in this matter, and no administrator has been appointed for Mr. Profant's estate. It is therefore hereby ORDERED that Dorsey & Whitney LLP's Motion is GRANTED.
Dorsey & Whitney LLP are hereby withdrawn as attorneys for Defendant David Profant and this matter is stayed until 90 days from May 3, 2018 (See Dkt. # 28) per Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(a)(1).
