[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED

 

Dept. 3

8:30 a.m.

November 1, 2024

 

 

 

 

Mitchell P. Beck seeks to be relieved as counsel of record for plaintiffs Dennis Martinez Salazar and Maria Martinez Salazar (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) on grounds that the attorney-client relationship has deteriorated. 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 not yet set and no prejudice will result from granting these motions. However, the proposed orders are deficient because they do not identify Plaintiffs’ phone numbers in Item 6. Item 6 also reflects the provided address as “last known” even though Plaintiffs’ counsel declared that he was able to confirm them as current. Accordingly, the hearing is CONTINUED to November 13, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. so that counsel may submit revised proposed orders. The revised papers must be filed no later than 5 court days before the hearing.

Moving party to give notice.

 

Dated this 1st day of November 2024
