      CASE NO.: 21STCV09956

 

[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED

 

Dept. 3

8:30 a.m.

July 12, 2024

 

 

 

 

Christopher W. Rowlett and Todd R. Kinnear of Perez, Vaughn & Feasby, Inc. seek to be relieved as counsel of record for defendant Oral Aesthetics Advocacy Group, LLC (“Defendant”) on grounds that there has been a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship. 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.)

The Court notes that trial in this matter is set for March 3, 2025, and no prejudice will result from granting this motion. However, the proposed order currently on file with the Court does not reflect the recently continued trial date or the hearing dates for various motions which were filed by other parties after this motion to be relieved was filed. Accordingly, the hearing is continued to _______________ so that defense counsel may submit a revised proposed order. The revised proposed order must be filed no later than 5 court days before the date of the hearing.

 

Moving party to give notice.

 

Dated this 12th day of July 2024

Judge of the Superior Court
