Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel of Record x 3; Case Management Conference
cause of action to the Complaint, Plaintiff waited to file this motion until 4/14/2026 (five months later.) Yet, Attorney Trauben explains the delay in ¶ 6 of his declaration wherein he states that he resides in Pacific Palisades and the fire rendered his home uninhabitable to the extent that he had to relocate and significant time was spent on contractor coordination, temporary housing logistics, and family support. Additionally, both of his sons sustained injuries to their ACLs. While the Court certainly sympathizes with Mr.
Trauben, it is unclear why he would take the case given his personal situation. Also, it is unclear why someone else in the firm was incapable of filing this Motion. Nevertheless, no real prejudice exists. Trial is set for 11/9/2026. Defense counsel has been aware of the potential cause of action since April 2026. Defendant has had sufficient time to prepare any defense it may have to this cause of action (which is based on the same facts as the other causes of action). Furthermore, discovery is ongoing.
An IDC is set for July 2026. To the extent any prejudice exists to Defendant, it may be mitigated by briefly continuing the trial. Plaintiff to separately file the First Amended Complaint. Plaintiff to give notice.
