[TENTATIVE] ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL  

 

Dept. 31 

1:30 p.m. 

December 22, 2023 

 

 

Plaintiff Anthony Osegueda (“Plaintiff”) attorney of record, Jonathon Farahi of Law Offices of Jonathon Farahi, APC (“Counsel”), moves to be relieved as counsel for Plaintiff. Counsel contends there is a breakdown in communication with Plaintiff, and Counsel has made many attempts to contact Plaintiff. 

 

Counsel provides he has personally served Plaintiff with the moving papers, and the proof of service of the same was filed. (Proof of Service, Nov. 27, 2023.) Further, Counsel demonstrates proof of service of the motion, declaration, and proposed order on Defendants pursuant to Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1362(d).  

 

The motion is unopposed and GRANTED; the ruling is effective upon filing proof of service of the final order. Trial is currently set for August 1, 2024. Therefore, there is sufficient time for Plaintiff to seek other counsel or otherwise prepare prior to trial. 

 

Moving Counsel is ordered to give notice.
