[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

September 14, 2022

 

 

 

 

Hirad D. Dadgostar seeks to be relieved as counsel of record for plaintiffs Patricial Monreal, Uriel Monreal, Delia Monreal, Rubi Monreal, and Christopher Monreal (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) on grounds that there has been a 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.) 

The Court notes that trial in this matter is not yet set and no prejudice will result from granting this motion.  However, the proposed order does not identify the OSC re: Dismissal (Settlement) scheduled for October 18, 2022 in this department.  Accordingly, the hearing on this motion to be relieved is CONTINUED to September 28, 2022 so that counsel may submit a revised proposed order.  The revised proposed order must be filed no later than September 22, 2022.
