Enrolled counsel of record will be held to represent the party for whom he or she appears unless the
court permits counsel to withdraw from the case. If a motion to withdraw does not provide for
substitution of counsel or would otherwise result in a pro se party, the motion to withdraw must
contain the client’s present address, telephone number and email as well as the client’s signature
approving counsel’s requested withdrawal. If counsel seeking to withdraw is unable to obtain a
client’s signature, such counsel must provide the court with a signed certificate stating specifically
why, after due diligence, the attorney was unable to obtain the client’s signature. The motion must
also be accompanied by a certificate of service, including a statement that the client has been notified
of all deadlines and pending court appearances, on both the client by certified mail and opposing
counsel, or an affidavit stating why service has not been made. The Court may, in its discretion, hold
a hearing with the attorney and client present before authorizing an attorney to withdraw.
