Case #24CHCV01697

MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL

Motion filed on 11/19/24.

MOVING ATTORNEY: Francis S. Ryu

CLIENT: Defendant/Cross-Complainant Green Home Systems, Inc.

RELIEF REQUESTED: An order relieving, Francis S. Ryu as counsel for Defendant/Cross-Complainant Green Home Systems, Inc. in this action.

RULING: The motion is placed off calendar. 

On 11/19/24, attorney Francis S. Ryu filed the instant motion seeking an order relieving, Francis S. Ryu as counsel for Defendant/Cross-Complainant Green Home Systems, Inc. in this action.  The declaration filed in support of the motion indicates that attorney Ryu will explain the grounds for the motion at the hearing in a manner to ensure the attorney-client privilege is protected.  The declaration further indicates that the client’s address was confirmed within 30 days before the filing of the motion by mail, return receipt requested.  However, the proofs of service attached to the moving papers indicate that the motion was served by regular U.S. mail.  There is no indication that the motion was served by mail, return receipt requested, and no return receipt confirming the client’s address has been filed. 

Since there is no confirmation of the client’s address and no response to the motion by the client to cure the defect in notice, the hearing on the motion is placed off calendar. 

The Court further notes that the proposed order does not include the client’s telephone number as required on number 6.
