[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED

 

Dept. 3

8:30 a.m.

November 13, 2024

 

Larry A. Rothstein seeks to be relieved as counsel of record for defendant Vision Construction Group, Inc. on grounds that there has been an irreconcilable 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.)

Trial in this matter is scheduled for March 10, 2025, and no prejudice will result from granting this motion. However, counsel’s motion does not comply with California Rules of Court rule 3.1362 because it does not include a proposed order on Form MC-053.

Accordingly, the hearing on this unopposed motion to be relieved is CONTINUED to December 4, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. so that defense counsel may submit a proposed order. The proposed order must be filed with the court no later than 5 court days before the date of the next hearing.

Moving party to give notice.

 

Dated this 13th day of November, 2024
