SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

Wiesman Pirian, Esq. seeks to be relieved as counsel of record for Plaintiffs Susan R. Garretson and Sulor L.

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.  Accordingly, this unopposed motion to be relieved is GRANTED and effective upon filing a proof of service showing service of this Order on Plaintiffs.
