Judge: Mark C. Kim, Case: 21LBCV00581, Date: 2022-11-15 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 21LBCV00581    Hearing Date: November 15, 2022    Dept: S27

Plaintiff’s attorney, Kevin Mahoney, seeks to be relieved as counsel, contending there has been an irrevocable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship.  Counsel has confirmed Client’s address via conversation, and has filed proof of service on Client and all parties who have appeared in the action.  The motion is unopposed and granted.  The Court notes that trial is not scheduled until 3/13/23, and therefore there will be no prejudice to Plaintiff as a result of the granting of the motion.  Relief is effective upon filing proof of service of the final order on Plaintiff. 

Counsel is ordered to give notice.
