CONDITIONAL ORDER by Judge Alicemarie H. Stotler granting Alschuler Grossman Stein & Kahan's Ex parte application for withdrawal as attorneys of record and order establishing deadline of 1/31/03 for appearance of new counsel (see doc for specifics) (mt) (Entered: 12/12/2002)

Judge Alicemarie H. Stotler granted Alschuler Grossman Stein & Kahan's ex parte application to withdraw as attorneys of record on December 12, 2002. The order set a deadline of January 31, 2003, for the client to secure new counsel and have that counsel appear in the case.

This conditional withdrawal means the firm remains responsible until new representation files a notice of appearance. The docket and court details remain unspecified, but the case is still active as of the latest entry. The judge’s order aims to prevent delays by imposing a firm deadline for the transition of legal representation.

The absence of new counsel by the deadline could prompt further court action, including possible default or sanctions. The case’s underlying claims and parties are not identified in the available records. The procedural posture now centers on whether the client will meet the court’s deadline to avoid disruption in the litigation.

The withdrawal order reflects standard practice when attorneys seek to exit a case midstream, balancing the firm’s right to withdraw with the client’s need for continuous representation.
