Case Number: 21STCV07843    Hearing Date: May 17, 2023    Dept: 68

Motion to be Relieved as Counsel

Jon-Paul Chevalier vs. Walker Patterson Inman, III; 21STCV07843

Moving Party: Counsel for Walker Patterson Inman, III

Motion to be Relieved as Counsel

Doron F. Eghbali and Theodore J. Feldsher of Law Advocate Group, LLP, counsel of record for Defendant Walker Patterson Inman, III, seek to be relieved as counsel for that party. Counsel’s declaration states that that there are “irreconcilable differences between client and attorney.” No party opposes the motion.

Absent a showing of resulting prejudice, an attorney’s request for withdrawal should be granted. (People v. Prince (1968) 268 Cal.App.2d 398, 406.) There is no indication that Defendant would be prejudiced by the withdrawal. Counsel’s motion complies with California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1362. Procedurally, the motions meet all the requirements, and the counsel have filed proof indicating that the notice and declaration were served on Defendant and Plaintiff’s counsel of record.

The unopposed motion to be relieved as counsel is GRANTED.

Moving party to give notice.
