If all sides submit on the Tentative Order and the clerk is so advised, the Tentative Order will become the final order of the court and the prevailing party shall give written Notice of Ruling per CRC 3.1312. If the Moving and Responding parties do not agree to submit on the Tentative Order, the motion will be called as calendared for hearing. There is no need to contact Department “C”, as the matter will remain on calendar for hearing. If the Moving party does not call Department “C” to submit on the Tentative Order and there is no appearance by any party, then the motion(s), at the Court’s discretion, may be taken off calendar without ruling on the motion(s). ORDERS: The minute order reflecting the Court’s Order will constitute the final Order. No additional orders should be submitted to the Court for signature unless required by law or by the Court.

TRADE HARVEST INDUSTRIAL, LTD v. BAILEY 44, LLC

CASE NO.:  20NWCV00518

HEARING:  12/07/22

#1

TENTATIVE ORDER

     I.        Brandon S. Reif, Marc S. Ehrlich, and the Reif Law Group P.C.’s unopposed motion to withdraw as counsel of record for Defendant BAILEY 44, LLC is GRANTED. (C.R.C. 3.1362.)

    II.        Brandon S. Reif, Marc S. Ehrlich, and the Reif Law Group P.C.’s unopposed motion to withdraw as counsel of record for Defendant DENIM.LA, INC. is GRANTED. (C.R.C. 3.1362.)

Moving Party to give Notice.

No Opposition(s) filed as of December 5, 2022.   

The Court finds that Counsel has met the procedural requirements, including proper notice to the client at the last known residence or business address of the client.  C.R.C. 3.1362.

Here, Counsel’s declarations indicate that “there has been a breakdown of the attorney-client relationship….” Where the issue (or conflict) is between the lawyer and client(s), without implicating other parties, the court can rely on counsel’s sworn declaration absent any reason to doubt the representations.

There is an undisputed breakdown in attorney-client communications. It does not appear that the Reif Law Group P.C.’s continued representation would serve the interests of justice. The motions to withdraw are GRANTED. 

There are no upcoming hearing dates.
