[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

December 6, 2022

 

 

 

 

Matthew D. Wabby of the Law Office of Wabby & Wabby seeks to be relieved as counsel of record for Plaintiff James Bowers on grounds that there are irreconcilable differences in opinions as to the direction of the 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 currently set for October 26, 2023 and no prejudice will result from granting this motion.  However, the proposed order fails to include the OSC re: Dismissal scheduled for April 24, 2025 as a future hearing in Item 8 and Plaintiff’s address appears to have been misspelled in Item 6.  Accordingly, the hearing is CONTINUED to January 24, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 27 so that counsel may submit a revised proposed order.  The revised proposed order should be submitted no later than January 17, 2023. 

 

Moving party to give notice.

Parties who intend to submit on this tentative must send an email to the Court at SSCDEPT27@lacourt.org indicating intention to submit on the tentative as directed by the instructions provided on the court website at www.lacourt.org.  Please be advised that if you submit on the tentative and elect not to appear at the hearing, the opposing party may nevertheless appear at the hearing and argue the matter.  Unless you receive a submission from all other parties in the matter, you should assume that others might appear at the hearing to argue.  If the Court does not receive emails from the parties indicating submission on this tentative ruling and there are no appearances at the hearing, the Court may, at its discretion, adopt the tentative as the final order or place the motion off calendar.
