Judge: Mark H. Epstein, Case: 22SMCV00398, Date: 2024-01-02 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 22SMCV00398    Hearing Date: January 2, 2024    Dept: I

The declaration is quite vague and the trial is very close.  Plaintiff’s counsel forwarded plaintiff’s objection to the withdrawal, but it is missing an attachment.  The court is inclined to CONTINUE the matter to allow a fuller hearing and to be able to consider plaintiff’s position.  The court is well aware that there is a trial in about a month, and it seems unlikely plaintiff will be able to try the case at this point without counsel.
