Local Rule LR 83.7: Withdrawal as Attorney of Record

LR 83.7 Withdrawal as Attorney of Record. Attorneys representing parties in any case, desiring to have their names stricken of record, shall so request one of the District Judges of this Court, in writing and in duplicate, through the Clerk of this Court, and shall disclose that such attorney has given due notice to his client of his intention to withdraw from the case, and shall specify the manner of such notice to the client, attaching copy of the notice. Such notice to the client shall be given at least fourteen (14) days prior to the request to the Court. Upon the filing of the request with the Clerk, a copy thereof shall forthwith be mailed to the client and within fourteen (14) days thereafter, such request shall be presented by the Clerk to the District Judge for his action thereon. Ordinarily, counsel will not be allowed to withdraw after pretrial if such withdrawal will delay the trial of the case, in which event the attorney shall continue as responsible for the handling of the case.
