Case Number: 21STCV27846    Hearing Date: October 20, 2022    Dept: 15

[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE MOTION TO BE RELIEVED

Nancy Williams and Brayton Purcell, attorneys of record for Plaintiffs Melissa Kugan and Lorraine Reynolds, seek to be relieved as counsel on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.

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, except there is no proof of service showing the motion papers were served on Plaintiffs and the other parties. 

No party opposed the motion.  Because no trial has been set, no prejudice will result from granting the motion.  But because no proof of service was filed, the motion is denied.

The moving party is to give notice.
