[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED

 

Dept. 3

8:30 a.m.

January 9, 2024

 

 

 

 

Malcolm S. McNeil, Allan E. Anderson, Jeff Leung, and ArentFox Schiff LLP seek to be relieved as counsel of record for defendant D.R.I.V.E. Management, Inc. due to non-payment of attorneys’ fees. 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 trial in this matter is set for March 11, 2024, and no prejudice will result from granting this motion. Accordingly, this unopposed motion to be relieved is GRANTED and effective upon filing a proof of service showing service of this Order on D.R.I.V.E. Management, Inc. and all parties who have appeared.

Moving party to give notice.

 

Dated this 9th day of January 2024
