[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

October 24, 2022

 

 

 

 

 Shaun J. Bauman and Holly Matin seek to be relieved as counsel of record for Plaintiff Maybet Garcia on grounds that there has been a significant breakdown in the communication and direction of this case.  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 not yet set and no prejudice will result from granting this motion.  However, the proposed order filed on October 13, 2022 indicates that the provided address in Item 6 is Plaintiff’s “last known” even though counsel averred in their declaration that they were able to confirm Plaintiff’s address as current by mail with return receipt requested. 

Accordingly, the hearing is continued to November 7, 2022 at 1:30 p.m. so counsel may submit a revised proposed order.
