Judge: Lynne M. Hobbs, Case: 21STCV16929, Date: 2024-01-26 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 21STCV16929    Hearing Date: January 26, 2024    Dept: 30

ROSE CALVANESE vs ALBERTSONS COMPANIES, INC.

TENTATIVE

The motion to be relieved as counsel for Plaintiff, Rose Calvanese, is DENIED. Counsel for Defendant has submitted all of the mandatory judicial council forms (i.e., MC-051, MC-052, and MC-053). However, trial is on February 15, 2024. Thus, Plaintiff would be prejudiced by the withdrawal so close to trial. Plaintiff does not have sufficient time to find new counsel once the motion is granted and the order is served on client, thereby making the order effective.

Moving party is ordered to give notice.
