Motion to be relieved as counsel
on Client and on the other parties in this action. The court finds Attorneys have provided a valid and sufficient reason for requesting to be relieved as counsel for Client. However, Attorneys failed to file the requisite form MC-053, which is the order granting the requested relief.
Upon filing form MC-053, the court will GRANT the motion.
The court notes the order relieving counsel shall not be effective until Attorneys file with the court a proof of service showing the signed orders (specifically form MC-053) granting the motion have been served on Client. Until such time, Attorneys shall remain counsel of record.
Attorneys are ordered to give notice of this ruling.
