Case Number: 21STCV43201    Hearing Date: June 3, 2024    Dept: 61

JILL GREENBERG 2019 TRUST vs ERNEST FINANCIAL, LLC, et al. (Commercial)

TENTATIVE

The present motions pertain to attorney Brandon C. Murphy of the firm Bice Murphy Law, counsel for Defendant and Cross-Complainant David Bogner. The motion states there has been a breakdown of the attorney-client relationship such that it would be impossible to continue representing David Bogner, and that the client has refused to participate in this litigation. Trial has been set for April 2026.

The motion includes a compliant declaration and a proposed order with all future hearing dates. But it does not include a proof of service indicating that it has been “served on the client and all other parties who have appeared in the case.” (CRC Rule 3.1362, subd. (d).)

Brandon C. Murphy’s Motion to be Relieved as Counsel for Defendant and Cross-Complainant David Bogner is DENIED for lack of service.

Clerk to give notice.
