MOTION TO BE RELEIVED AS COUNSEL

Motion filed on 11/6/24.

MOVING ATTORNEY: Zaneta Conroy

CLIENT: Plaintiff Jairo Espress Melendez

RULING: The motion is placed off calendar.

On 11/6/24, attorney Zaneta Conroy filed and served the instant motion to be relieved as counsel for Plaintiff Jairo Espress Melendez in this action on the ground that there are irreconcilable differences between the client and the firm regarding the future course of this action.

The declaration filed in support of the motion indicates that the client’s address was confirmed by mail, return receipt requested.  However, the proofs of service attached to the motion documents indicate that the motion was served only by electronic mail on defense counsel and on Plaintiff/the client.  No electronic address has been set forth for Plaintiff/the client in the proofs of service.  Additionally, no return receipt has been filed.  Plaintiff/the client has not responded to the motion to cure the defect in notice.
