INSTRUCTIONS
Appearance of Counsel:
Attorneys may use this form to enter an appearance in a case, or to update the docket of a case to reflect a prior
appearance. To do so, complete Sections I, II, and IV of this form, then file and serve the form in the case. (Using an
attorney's CM/ECF login and password to file this form will expedite the addition of that attorney to the docket as counsel
of record.)
Withdrawal of Counsel:
This form may be used to terminate an attorney's status as counsel of record for a party in three situations: (1) the
attorney being terminated has already been relieved by the Court, but the docket does not yet reflect that fact; (2) at least
one member of the attorney's firm or agency will continue to represent that party and the withdrawing attorney is not the
only member of the Bar of this Court representing that party; or (3) the represented party has been dismissed from the
case, but the attorneys are still receiving notices of electronic filing. For any of these situations, complete Sections I, III,
and IV of this form, then file and serve the form in the case.
Note: In situations not covered above, attorneys seeking to withdraw from a case must first obtain permission from the
Court. In such circumstances, attorneys should complete and file a "Request for Approval of Substitution or Withdrawal of
Counsel" (Form G-01) rather than this "Notice of Appearance or Withdrawal of Counsel" (Form G-123). See Form G-01 for
