Notice of Withdrawal

A Notice of Withdrawal may be filed by the original party filer to withdraw a previously filed pleading.   The following must be included in the Notice (there is no form for this):

1.    The caption must state the case name and number and the related document number

2.    The body must state a description of the document and the reason for requesting it be withdrawn

If you have attached a wrong PDF image or have filed a document in the wrong case, you will need to file a Notice of Withdrawal to have the docket entry marked "Withdrawn".

These instructions assume you have already accessed and logged into CM/ECF (see How to Access CM/ECF).
