The law firms of Lucosky Brookman LLP and Marquis Aurbach move to withdraw as counsel of record for Defendant Markman Biologics Corp. but will remain as counsel for Defendant Alan Shinderman and Aspen Management Services, LLC. (ECF No. 26). The Court finds that counsel has met the requirements of Local Rule IA 11-6(b). Additionally, no party has opposed the motion, constituting their consent to the Court granting it under Local Rule 7-2(d). Because it is a corporation, Markman Biologics Corp. must retain counsel to proceed in this action. See Reading Intern., Inc. v. Malulani Group, Ltd., 814 F.3d 1046, 1053 (9th Cir. 2016) (explaining that corporations must be represented by counsel). IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the motion to withdraw (ECF No. 26) is granted. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Markman Biologics Corp. must file a status report regarding its retention of counsel on or before October 30, 2023. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is kindly directed to place Markman Biologics Corp.’s last known addresses on the docket:
