RELIEVED AS COUNSEL

MOVING ATTORNEY: Plaintiff, Aly Rahim

CLIENT: Defendants, All Action Security Consulting Group, Inc., et al.

RELIEF REQUESTED

Three Motions to Be Relieved as Counsel

SUMMARY OF ACTION

Plaintiff Aly Rahim worked as a “non-exempt” security guard for Defendant All Action Security Consulting Group, Inc. from January 2016 through March 2020. Plaintiff alleges working “seven (7) days a week and worked approximately 12-24 hours each shift,” without adherence to labor standards for meal and rest breaks, minimum wages, timely payment of wages, and overtime.

On September 21, 2021 Plaintiff filed two separate wage and hour, and unlawful business practices complaints. On on December 21, 2022, and February 4, 2022, Defendants answered the complaints. On November 28, 2022, the court entered the parties’ stipulation consolidating the actions for trial purposes.

On January 6, 2023, the court granted the ex parte motion to dismiss All Action Security Consulting Group, Inc.

RULING: Granted/Moot.

Counsel for defendants All Action Security Consulting Group, Inc., Kosh Abbas, and Joyn Ayam moves to be relieved as counsel of record, due to the irreconcilable differences, thereby making further representation “impossible.” The court combines the three separately filed motions into a single ruling.

All Action Security Consulting Group, Inc. was dismissed on January 6, 2023. The motion is therefore moot.

The motions comply with the procedural requirements on the two remaining individual defendants. Orders not effective until service on the clients.

Trial remains set for 2-21-23.
