Civil - Unlimited  Other Real Property Motion Hearing (Civil) 37-2022-00048717-CU-OR-NC HOWE VS. ZALESCHUK [IMAGED] CAUSAL DOCUMENT/DATE FILED: Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel of Record, 06/15/2023

Antony Nash and Grecia A. Rivas (collectively, 'Movants')'s motion to be relieved as counsel for Plaintiff Jason Howe ('Plaintiff') is granted.

The court construes Plaintiff's lack of opposition as a concession of the motion's merits. See San Diego Rules of Court, Rule 2.1.19.B. In addition, Movants represent that there has been a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship and that irreconcilable differences have rendered it unreasonably difficult for Movants to effectively represent Plaintiff in this matter. The foregoing constitutes grounds to grant the motion. See Cal. R. Prof. Conduct 1.16(b)(4). The court further finds that Movants have complied with California Code of Civil Procedure § 284(2) and California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1362. The order relieving Movants as counsel shall be effective once Movants file with the court proof of service of the signed order upon Plaintiff at Plaintiff's last known address. See Cal. R. Ct. 3.1362(e).

This is the tentative ruling for the hearing at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, July 21, 2023. If no party appears at the hearing, this tentative ruling will become the order of the court as of July 21, 2023. If the parties are satisfied with the court's tentative ruling or do not otherwise wish to argue the motion, they are encouraged to give notice to the court and each other of their intention not to appear, though this notice is not required.
