Case Number: 22AHCV01409    Hearing Date: May 20, 2025    Dept: 3

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - NORTHEAST DISTRICT

Kevin Y. Jacobson seeks to be relieved as counsel of record for plaintiff Oscar Buenrostro (“Plaintiff”) on grounds that there has been a breakdown in communication. 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. Accordingly, this unopposed motion to be relieved is GRANTED and effective upon filing a proof of service showing service of this Order on Plaintiff and all parties who have appeared.

The Court also sets an OSC re: Proof of Service of Order Relieving Counsel for May 29, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. in Department 3 of the Alhambra Courthouse.

Moving party to give notice.

Dated this 20th day of May 2025
