(a) Appearances Required. Attorneys not representing the United States or its agencies
must file an appearance when they represent (either in person or by filing a paper) a
party.
(b) Removed and Transferred Cases. Attorneys whose names are not on the court’s
docket after a case is removed or transferred must file either an appearance or a copy
of the appearance they filed in the original court. Attorneys who are not bar members
must comply with the court’s admission policy (as described in N.D. Ind. L.R. 83-5)
within 21 days of removal or transfer.
(c) Withdrawal of Appearance. To withdraw an appearance, attorneys must file a motion
requesting leave to do so. Unless another attorney has appeared for the party, the
motion must include:
(1) satisfactory evidence that the attorney gave the party written notice of the
attorney’s intent to withdraw at least seven days before filing the motion; and
(2) in civil cases, the party’s last known contact information, including an address
and telephone number.
