appearance by him is necessary, provided the document contains the 
information required by Sec. 2200.6.

leave therefor, and showing that prior notice of the motion has been 
given by him to his client or counsel or representative, as the case may 
be. The motion of counsel to withdraw may, in the discretion of the

delay or prejudice to the rights of a party or intervenor.
