Judge: Melissa R. Mccormick, Case: Thompson v. Garden Grove Unified School District, Date: 2023-08-31 Tentative Ruling

Attorneys Damon Rogers and Andy Beltran’s Motion to be Relieved as Counsel

Attorneys Damon Rogers and Andy Beltran move to be relieved as counsel for plaintiffs Kenstin Thompson and Donald Thompson.  The motion is denied.

The court file does not contain a proof of service reflecting service of the notice of motion and motion, the declaration, and the proposed order on plaintiffs.  Cal. R. Ct. 3.1362(d) (“The notice of motion and motion, the declaration, and the proposed order must be served on the client and on all other parties who have appeared in the case.”).  There is also no evidence the moving parties provided plaintiffs with notice of the continued hearing date (ROA 22).  This denial is without prejudice to counsel refiling a motion that complies with Rule 3.1362 in all respects.

The moving parties, Attorneys Damon Rogers and Andy Beltran, shall give notice of the court’s order.
