RELIEF REQUESTED

Attorney for Plaintiff is requesting to be relieved as counsel

RULING: Motion to be relieved as counsel is granted

Shaun Joseph Bauman of Bauman Law APLC, counsel of record for Plaintiff Christina Ward, seeks to be relieved as counsel for that party.¿Counsel filed a motion with the required Forms MC-051, MC-052, and MC-053. Counsel’s declaration states that due to irreconcilable differences between Plaintiff and counsel, it is impossible for counsel to continue representing Plaintiff.

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 showing of prejudice, and counsel’s motion complies with California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1362 and meets its requirements.

Motion to be relieved as counsel is granted.

Moving party to give notice.
