Case Number: 23PSCV01371    Hearing Date: June 28, 2024    Dept: O

Tentative Ruling

Counsel’s Motion to be Relieve as Counsel is GRANTED, effective upon [see below].

Background2

This case arises from a motor vehicle accident that happened on 2/14/23 wherein the driver was allegedly under the influence of alcohol.

On May 5, 2023, Plaintiff Shayla Cid-Maya filed suit against Defendants Salustio Reza (driver) and Lucia Arroyo (possible owner of vehicle) for (1) motor vehicle and (2) general negligence.

On September 29, 2023, Plaintiff filed a FAC.

On December 28, 2023, Defendants filed their answer.

On May 27, 2024, Plaintiff’s counsel filed the instant motion.

Discussion

Counsel seeks to be relieved as counsel because of a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship.

Here, as the case is relatively new, no substantive motions are on calendar, and all parties, including Plaintiff, have been served with notice of the motion, the court finds good cause to grant the motion.

Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, the motion is granted effective upon service of the court’s order upon all Plaintiffs, Defendants, and all other parties who have appeared.
