Rule 30 - Appearances; substitutions; withdrawal or change of attormeys(a) When a party has appeared by counsel, that individual cannot thereafter appear on his/her own behalf in the case without the consent of the court. Counsel who has appeared for any party shall represent that party in the case and shall be recognized by the court and by all parties as having control of the client's case, until counsel properly withdraws upon motion to withdraw properly granted pursuant to paragraph (b) below, another attormey is substituted, or until counsel is discharged by the client in writing, filed with the filing office, in accordance with SCR 46 and this rule. The court in its discretion may hear a party in open court although the party is represented by counsel.(b) Counsel in any case may be withdrawn or changed:(1) When a new attormey is to be substituted in place of the attormey withdrawing, by the written consent of both attormeys and the client, all of which shall be filed with the court and served upon all parties or their attormeys who have appeared in the action; or(2) By order of the court, upon motion and notice as provided in these rules, when no attormey has been retained to replace the attormey withdrawing; (A) If such motion is made by the attormey, counsel shall include in an affidavit, the address, or last known address, at which the client may be served with notice of further proceedings taken in the case in the event the application for withdrawal is granted, and counsel shall serve a copy of such motion and supporting papers upon the client and all other parties to the action or their attormeys; or(B) If such motion is made by the client, the client shall state therein the address at which the client may be served with notice of all further proceedings in the case in the event the application is granted, and shall serve a copy of the application upon the attormey and all other parties to the action or their attormeys.(c) Any form or order permitting withdrawal of an attormey submitted to the court for signature shall contain the address at which the party is to be served with notice of all further proceedings.(d) Except for good cause shown, no application for withdrawal or substitution shall be granted if a delay of the trial or of the hearing of any other matter in the case would result. Discharge of an attormey may not be grounds to delay a trial or other hearing.(e) Corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLC) may not appear in proper person. Nev. R. Prac. Justice. Ct. Reno.
