[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL

 

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

September 13, 2022

 

          Alicia S. Curran of Cheong & Denove seeks to be relieved as counsel of record for Plaintiff Annie Haven on grounds that irreconcilable differences have arisen between counsel and Plaintiff such that counsel is no longer able to continue the representation of Plaintiff. 

          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.  The Court notes that as trial in this matter has yet to be set, no prejudice will result from granting this motion.  The Court previously continued the hearing on this motion so that counsel could submit a revised proposed order.  A revised proposed order is on file and complies with the Court’s direction.  Accordingly, the motion to be relieved is GRANTED and effective upon filing a proof of service reflecting service of the signed Order on Plaintiff 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 SSCDEPT27@lacourt.org indicating intention to submit on the tentative as directed by the instructions provided on the court website at www.lacourt.org.  Please be advised that if you submit on the tentative and elect not to appear at the hearing, the opposing party may nevertheless appear at the hearing and argue the matter.  Unless you receive a submission from all other parties in the matter, you should assume that others might appear at the hearing to argue.  If the Court does not receive emails from the parties indicating submission on this tentative ruling and there are no appearances at the hearing, the Court may, at its discretion, adopt the tentative as the final order or place the motion off calendar.
