Tentative Ruling

Shamram Elyaszadeh v. Murphy et al., Case No. 20SMCV01448

Hearing Date March 17, 2023

Plaintiff’s Counsel Leichter’s Motion to be Relieved as Counsel (UNOPPOSED)

Kevin J. Leichter and the Leichter firm move to be relieved as counsel for plaintiffs Shahram Elyaszadeh and Yona Samih. The motion is on the proper judicial council forms (MC-051, 052, and 053) and the documents indicate opposing counsel and plaintiffs were properly served.

Substantively, attorneys state plaintiffs have failed to fulfil their fee obligations, which is a sufficient basis for withdrawal. There are no substantive motions on calendar, reducing the likelihood that plaintiffs will suffer prejudice if the motion is granted. GRANTED.
