[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

April 14, 2023

 

Sharona Eslamboly Hakim, attorney of record for Plaintiff, seeks to be relieved on grounds there has been a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship.  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.)  Counsel’s Motion complies with California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1362.  The Court notes trial in this matter is currently set for July 10, 2023.  The next motion scheduled for hearing is a motion to compel discovery on June 26, 2023.  However, the Court finds that no prejudice will result to Plaintiff in granting the Motion. 

 

Thus, the Court GRANTS Counsel’s Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel.
