 MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL

Date:               10/3/24 (1:30 PM)

Case:               Save Our Slopes v. City of Monterey Park (21STCP02365)

TENTATIVE RULING:

Counsel Whitney A. Hodges and Allison C. Wong of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP’s Motion to be Relieved as Counsel for real party in interest Center International Investments is GRANTED CONDITIONALLY, subject to submission of an amended proposed order as discussed below.

In item 6 of the proposed order, submitted on 8/13/24, counsel for real party in interest states that real party’s last known address is 1648 Puente Avenue, Baldwin Park, California 91706 and/or 501 W. Garvey Avenue, #207, Monterey Park, CA 91754. However, on 8/26/24, counsel filed a proof of service indicating that real party was personally served at 561 Ramona Avenue, Sierra Madre, CA 91024 on 8/20/24 (after the proposed order was lodged). It thus appears that item 6 of the proposed order should reflect real party’s current address where service was effectuated. In addition, item 6 does not contain real party’s telephone number—either current or last known.

No later than 10/9/24, counsel shall lodge a proposed order for the Court’s signature. On item 6 of the proposed order, counsel shall indicate real party’s current address and telephone number, specifying whether the telephone number is current or last known. Counsel must also indicate in item 5 of the proposed order that counsel will be relieved effective upon the filing of the proof of service of the signed order upon the client (not on the date of the hearing on the instant motion, as proposed by counsel). Upon submission of the amended proposed order as directed above, the Court will sign the amended proposed order.
