Highley, 459 F.2d 554, 555 (9th Cir. 1972). There has been no request by appellant Prenda Law to substitute new counsel in place of its attorneys from the Klinedinst firm. This court will allow the Klinedinst firm to withdraw as counsel of record for Prenda Law in these appellate proceedings once substitute counsel has been identified and has sought to be substituted as counsel of record. Appellant Prenda Law’s emergency motion filed on June 14, 2013 shall be

addressed by separate order.
