Rule 7(e) empowers the Court to grant a withdrawal of appearance upon a showing that other counsel has appeared or, in cases where the party has failed to engage other counsel or file a personal appearance, where good cause exists for permitting the withdrawal by the appearing counsel. The Movant submits that good cause exists to permit the Movant to withdraw as counsel because G Club continues to be represented by counsel in this matter and G Club and the Movant have mutually terminated their professional engagement.\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595) (the \"Debtor\"), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation.

R. 9083-4 适用的 D. Conn. L. Civ. Rule 7(e)，Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP（毕盛律师事务所）的 Carolina A. Fornos 律师（“动议人”），即已在上述破产案件（“主案”）中出庭应诉的 G Club Operations LLC（“G Club”）的下述签名律师，谨提请本法院准予撤销其在本案中的出庭代理身份。动议人于 2023年6月6日 就主案中的破产规则第 2004 条程序代表 G Club 向本法院提交了出庭通知。G Club 将继续由 Green & Sklarz LLC 的 Jeffrey M. Sklarz 和 Kellianne Baranowsky 代理。\n\nD. Conn. L. Civ. Rule 7(e) 授权法院在证明已有其他律师出庭的情况下准予撤销出庭代理；或者在当事人未能聘请其他律师或未提交亲自出庭声明的情况下，在存在允许出庭律师撤销代理的正当理由时准予撤销。动议人认为，存在允许动议人撤销代理律师身份的正当理由，因为 G Club 在本案中继续由律师代理，且 G Club 与动议人已协商一致终止了双方的专业聘用关系。\n\n1 这些第 11 章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（纳税人识别号后四位：9595）（“债务人”）、Genever Holdings LLC（纳税人识别号后四位：8202）以及 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 和 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP（普衡律师事务所）, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 转交 Ho Wan Kwok 破产财产受托人 Luc A.
