Tentative Ruling

Judge Theresa M. Traber, Department 47

HEARING DATE:     July 29, 2024              TRIAL DATE: NOT SET

CASE:                         Justin Poplawski, et al. v. Kanye Omari West a/k/a Ye

CASE NO.:                 24STCV00703           

MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL

MOVING PARTY:               Attorney Brian Brumfield, counsel for Defendant.

RESPONDING PARTY(S): Plaintiffs Justin Poplawski and Tiffany Marshall.

STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS AND/OR PROCEEDINGS:

            This is an action for intentional bodily injury that was filed on January 10, 2024. Plaintiffs allege that Defendant physically attacked Plaintiff Justin Poplawski.

Attorney Brian Brumfield, Counsel for Defendant, moves to be relieved as counsel.

TENTATIVE RULING:

Attorney Brian Brumfield, Counsel for Defendant, moves to be relieved as counsel.

The Court observes that Plaintiffs objected to the motion as inadequately noticed and failing to provide certain required information.  Apparently in response to those objections, Moving Counsel filed and served a new motion which is currently scheduled for hearing on August 26, 2024. The Court therefore finds that this motion is MOOT.  

            This ruling is conditioned on Moving Counsel serving written notice of this order on all parties and filing proof of service with the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:  July 29, 2024                               ___________________________________
