Judge: Craig Griffin, Case: Shenzhen Itsuwa Electron Co. v. Jacksam Corp, Date: 2022-10-24 Tentative Ruling

Attorney Gordon G. May of Grant, Genovese & Baratta, LLP seeks to be relieved as counsel of record for Defendants Jacksam Corp. and Danny Davis.

As to Defendant Danny Davis, moving party has complied with the procedural requirements of C.R.C. 3.1362 and the Court finds good cause to grant the relief on the merits. (California Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 1.16(b)(4); Estate of Falco v. Decker (1987) 188 Cal.App.3d 1004, 1014 and n.19.)

Therefore, as to Defendant Danny Davis, the unopposed motion is GRANTED with relief to be effective upon filing of a proof of service of the signed order on the client.

As to Defendant Jacksam Corp., service of this motion was defective. Counsel served Jacksam Corp. by mail on 09/29/22. This service provided insufficient notice per code. (C.C.P. §§1005(b), 1013(a).)

Therefore, as to Jacksam Corp., the motion is DENIED. The Court notes that another motion to be relieved as counsel for Jacksam Corp. is set for hearing on 11/28/22. That motion will remain on calendar.

Moving counsel to give notice.
