A motion to withdraw may be filed at any time.  All motions to withdraw shall be accompanied by a proposed order.  No counsel may withdraw from a pending case without leave of Judge Jones. The counsel filing the motion to withdraw shall serve a copy of the motion on the client and all attorneys of record.  All motions shall be signed by the party on whose behalf counsel has previously appeared or contain a certificate that (1) the client has knowledge of counsel's intent to withdraw, or (2) counsel has made a good faith effort to notify the client and the client cannot be located.  Judge Jones may grant a motion to withdraw in civil actions where there is no successor counsel only if the withdrawing attorney clearly states in the body of the order the name and address of the party.  The order allowing withdrawal shall notify the unrepresented party that an entry of appearance  must be filed either by the party pro se or by substitute counsel, within thirty (30) days from the date of the order permitting the withdrawal, and that a failure of the party to prosecute or defend the case may result in dismissal of the case without prejudice or the entry of a default judgment against the party.  If no entry of appearance is filed within thirty (30) days from the date of the order permitting withdrawal, then the unrepresented party, other than a corporation, is deemed to be pro se.  In all cases, counsel seeking to withdraw shall advise Judge Jones if the case is currently set for motion docket, pretrial conference or trial.
