CHRISTOPHER v. LOS ANGELES
COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
CASE
NO.: 24NWCV00954
HEARING: Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at 10:30 a.m.
Mindy S. Bish and Bish & Cutting ABC’s unopposed motion to withdraw as counsel of record for Plaintiff RYAN CHRISTOPHER is GRANTED.
No
Opposition filed as of June 6, 2025. Due May 28, 2025. (CCP §1005(b).)
The
Court finds that Counsel has met the procedural requirements, including proper
notice to the client at the last known residence or business address of the
client. C.R.C. 3.1362.
Here,
Counsel’s declarations indicate that there has been a breakdown of the
attorney-client relationship. Where the issue (or conflict) is between the
lawyer and client(s), without implicating other parties, the court can rely on
counsel’s sworn declaration absent any reason to doubt the representations.
There
is an undisputed breakdown in attorney-client communications. It does not
appear that Mindy Bish’s continued representation would serve the interests of
justice.
The
motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
There
is a Case Management Conference scheduled for July 9, 2025 at 9:00 p.m. in
Dept. R.
Moving Party to give notice.
