Judge: Teresa A. Beaudet, Case: 22STCV36246, Date: 2023-09-27 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 22STCV36246    Hearing Date: September 27, 2023    Dept: 50

Superior Court of California

County of Los Angeles

Department 50

Michael Juarez-Munoz, Esq. of Downtown Los Angeles Law Group (“Counsel”) moves to be relieved as counsel for Plaintiff Thadduas Sistrunk.

The Court notes that while Counsel has provided sufficient reason for withdrawal, no proof of service was filed with the motion. 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. The notice may be by personal service, electronic service, or mail.”

In addition, Items 3(b)(1) and 3(b)(2) of the Declaration (Form MC-052) are both checked. Thus, it is unclear whether Counsel has or has not confirmed that Counsel’s client’s address is current.

Based on the foregoing, the Court denies the motion without prejudice. Counsel is ordered to give notice of this order.

DATED:  September 27, 2023
