REQUEST TO SUBSTITUTE
ATTORNEY OF RECORD
(Docket No. 78)
On July 17, 2012, Plaintiffs Chang Bee Yang and Lau Yang ("Plaintiffs") filed a request to substitute their current counsel of record, Douglas V. Thornton, Esq., of the law firm Perkins, Mann & Everett, and represent themselves in propria persona. (Doc. 78.) Counsel Robert W.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiffs' substitution request is GRANTED;IT IS SO ORDERED.
2. Counsel Robert Branch, Esq., and Douglas Thornton, Esq., are terminated as Plaintiffs' counsel of record;
3. Plaintiffs Chang Bee Yang and Lau Yang are substituted as representing themselves in propria persona; and
4. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve this order on Plaintiffs at 10966 E. Promontory Way, Clovis, CA 93619.
