[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

September 26, 2022

 

          On August 10, 2022, Defendant Ronald Glen Davis’ counsel, Phillip T.S. Tukia and Morgenstern Law Group, filed a Motion to be Relieved as Counsel.  On August 30, 2022, the Court continued the hearing to September 15, 2022, so that counsel could file a revised proposed order. 

A revised proposed order was filed on September 6, 2022.  The order was improperly filled out because Item 3b was incomplete and Item 6 stated that the provided address is Defendant’s “last known” which contradicts counsel’s previously-filed declaration in which he represented that he was able to confirm his client’s address as current. 

On September 19, 2022, counsel filed a declaration confirming that Plaintiff’s address was current.  However, several days later on September 21, 2022, counsel filed a proposed order which indicates that the provided address is Plaintiff’s “last known” address. 

The hearing is CONTINUED to October 26, 2022 so that counsel may resolve this contradiction, either with a revised declaration or a revised proposed order.  Any supporting documents should be filed no later than October 21, 2022.  

Moving party to give notice.
