Judge: Teresa A. Beaudet, Case: 21STCV34333, Date: 2024-03-04 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 21STCV34333    Hearing Date: March 4, 2024    Dept: 50

Superior Court of California

County of Los Angeles

Department 50

Hirschfeld Kraemer LLP (“Counsel”) moves to be relieved as counsel of record for Defendant Polish Investment and Trade Agency.

Although Counsel has provided sufficient reason for withdrawal, the proof of service attached to the Notice of Motion and Motion to be Relieved as Counsel (Form MC-051) states that the “Notice of Motion and Motion to be Relieved as Counsel” were served on Plaintiff and Counsel’s client. However, it is unclear if the supporting declarations and proposed order were also served. No proofs of service are attached to either declaration or the proposed order. Pursuant to¿California Rules of Court, rule 3.1362, subdivision (d), “[t]he notice of motion and motion, the declaration,¿and the proposed order¿must be served on the client and on all other parties who have appeared in the case.”¿

In addition, Item 5 of the proposed order (Form MC-053) is blank. Further, Counsel’s client’s telephone number is not listed in Item 6 of the proposed order.

Because of the issues identified above, the motion is denied without prejudice.
