Wynn Holdings, LLC v. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars NA, LLC

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA * * * WYNN HOLDINGS, LLC, Case No. 2:17-cv-00127-RFB-DJA Plaintiff, 7 ORDER v. ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS NA, LLC, ET AL., 10 Defendants.

12 This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Counsel Ogonna M. Brown’s Motion to Withdraw (ECF No. 113), filed on July 2, 2020. Pursuant to Local Rule (“LR”) IA 11-6, “[n]o attorney may withdraw after appearing in a case except by leave of Court after notice has been served on the affected client and opposing counsel.” See LR IA 11-6(b). Having reviewed the motion, the Court finds that the requirements of LR IA 11-6(b) have been met. Ms. Brown indicates that the professional relationship between plaintiff and counsel has broken down with regard to communications and the strategy of the case. The Court will require that Plaintiff Wynn Holdings, LLC advise the Court if it will retain new counsel by August 14, 2020 as it must retain new counsel if it intends to continue to litigate this matter. See United States v. High Country Broad., 3 F.3d 1244, 1245 (9th Cir. 1993) (per curiam); In re Am. W. Airlines, 40 F.3d 1058, 1059 (9th Cir. 1994) (stating that “[c]orporations and other unincorporated associations must appear in court through an attorney.”). Filing a notice of new counsel on or before August 14, 2020 is sufficient to comply with the Court’s order. Failure to respond may result in a recommendation to the United States District Judge assigned to this case that dispositive sanctions be issued against Plaintiff Wynn Holdings, LLC, including dismissal of this action.

Brown’s Motion to 1 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff Wynn Holdings, LLC shall have until August 14, 2020 to advise the Court if it will retain new counsel.
