LBR 2091-1 Attorneys — Withdrawals

(a) Generally. An attorney may withdraw from a case by serving a notice of withdrawal on the client and on all other parties and by filing the notice with the Clerk provided that the attorney represents that: (1) there are no motions affecting the attorney's client pending before the court, (2) a pretrial scheduling order has not been entered in an adversary proceeding or contested matter involving the client, and (3) no trial date on any such adversary proceeding or contested matter has been set. If these conditions are not met, an attorney may only withdraw from a case by leave of the court after the filing of a motion.

(b) Appointed Professionals. Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this rule, professionals appointed by court order under 11 U.S.C. § 327 may withdraw from representation only upon order of the court.
