(1) Unless otherwise ordered, an attorney shall not appear in a matter before

the court unless the attorney has filed an Entry of Appearance or an Entry

of Appearance to Provide Limited Representation or signed and filed a

pleading or document.

(2) As permitted under D.C.COLO.LAttyR 2(b)(1), an attorney may provide

limited representation to an unrepresented party or an unrepresented

prisoner in a civil action by order granting a motion which defines the

scope of limited representation with reasonable particularity and certifies

the approval of the unrepresented party or unrepresented prisoner. Any

change in the scope of limited representation must be approved by the

court.

(3) An Entry of Appearance, Entry of Appearance to Provide Limited

Representation, initial pleading, or initial document shall include

(A) the identity of the party for whom the appearance is made;

(B) the firm name, office address, telephone number, and primary

CM/ECF e-mail address of the attorney; and

good standing of the bar of this court.

(5) Only an unrepresented party or a member of the bar of this court as

defined in D.C.COLO.LAttyR 3 may appear in a matter before the court,

sign and file a pleading or document, or participate in a deposition,

hearing, or trial. The provision restricting the signing of a document shall

not apply to a witness, deponent, declarant, or affiant.

(6) The responsibility for signing a pleading or document shall not be

delegated.

(7) This rule shall not be applied or construed in a manner inconsistent with

any statute or rule governing an attorney appearing for the United States.

(b) Withdrawal of Appearance. An attorney who has filed an Entry of Appearance

or an Entry of Appearance to Provide Limited Representation or has appeared

otherwise in a case may seek to withdraw on motion showing good cause.

Withdrawal shall be effective only on court order entered after service of the

motion to withdraw on all counsel of record, any unrepresented party, and the

client of the withdrawing attorney. A motion to withdraw must state the reasons

for withdrawal, unless the statement would violate the rules of professional

conduct. Motions to withdraw based on the completion of the limited

representation shall include a certification by counsel that the service specified in

the Entry of Appearance to Provide Limited Representation is complete. Notice to

the client of the attorney shall include the warning that the client is personally

responsible for complying with all court orders and time limitations established by

applicable statutes and rules. Where the client of the withdrawing attorney is a

corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, the notice shall state that such

entity may not appear without counsel admitted to the bar of this court, and that

absent prompt appearance of substitute counsel, pleadings and papers may be

stricken, and default judgment or other sanctions may be imposed against the

entity.

telephone number of an attorney or unrepresented party shall be filed no later
