Judge: Thomas D. Long, Case: 21STCV25648, Date: 2024-06-25 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 21STCV25648    Hearing Date: June 25, 2024    Dept: 48

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CENTRAL DISTRICT

Jasmine J. Badawi, counsel of record for Plaintiff Patricia J. Espinoza Rosales, seeks to be relieved as counsel.  Counsel’s declaration states that there has been a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship.  No party opposed the motion.

Absent a showing of resulting prejudice, an attorney’s request for withdrawal should be granted.  (People v. Prince (1968) 268 Cal.App.2d 398, 406.)  Counsel’s motion complies with California Rules of Court, rule 3.1362.  Trial is not until January 21, 2025, and there is no prejudice to Defendant.

The proposed order does not include Plaintiff’s current or last known address and telephone number.  Counsel must provide this information at the hearing.

The proposed order no longer reflects the correct next hearing date.  The Court will correct this information before signing.

Subject to the provision of Plaintiff’s current or last known address and telephone number, the unopposed motion to be relieved is GRANTED and effective upon filing a proof of service showing service of the signed Form MC-053 order and this order on GC Patricia J. Espinoza Rosales and all parties who have appeared.

Moving party to give notice.

Parties who intend to submit on this tentative must send an email to the Court at SMCDEPT48@lacourt.org indicating intention to submit.  If all parties in the case submit on the tentative ruling, no appearances before the Court are required unless a companion hearing (for example, a Case Management Conference) is also on calendar.

         Dated this 25th day of June 2024
