FLORES v. ALDI FOODS INC.

CASE NO.:  23NWCV01795

HEARING:  10/24/24

#2

Adam C. Phillips, Esq. and Morgan and Morgan Los Angeles, LLP’s unopposed motion to withdraw as counsel of record for Plaintiff MARIBEL CHAIDES FLORES is GRANTED.  

Moving Party to give Notice.

No Opposition filed as of October 21, 2024.    

The Court finds that Counsel has met the procedural requirements, including proper notice to the client at the last known residence or business address of the client.  C.R.C. 3.1362.

Here, Counsel’s declaration indicates that there has been a breakdown of the attorney-client relationship. Where the issue (or conflict) is between the lawyer and client(s), without implicating other parties, the court can rely on counsel’s sworn declaration absent any reason to doubt the representations.

There is an undisputed breakdown in attorney-client communications. It does not appear that Attorney Phillips’ continued representation would serve the interests of justice. The motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
