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

 

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

August 25, 2022

 

          Daniel Kim, Esq. of the Law Offices of Daniel Kim seeks to be relieved as counsel of record for Plaintiff Jose Luis Gonzalez on grounds that there has been an irreparable breakdown of the attorney-client relationship, which has made it unreasonably difficult for counsel to effectively carry out employment.  

          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 as trial is currently set for March 24, 2023, no prejudice will result from granting this motion.

          Accordingly, the motion to be relieved as counsel is GRANTED.

Moving party to give notice.
