On January 11, 2023, the Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel

and proposed order and re-serve it on the client. The current declaration and
proposed order incorrectly list the date for the OSC Re: Dismissal as February
27, 2014, rather than February 27, 2024. Further, item 3(b)(1) has not been
checked off on the declaration.
Counsel has yet to file these documents.
