The Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel filed by Miguel Angel Duenas Reina on 06/18/2026 is Denied.

The Court is inclined to grant the Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel with a properly completely judicial council proposed order submitted directly to Department 520 for the Court to conform and sign.

The current proposed order does not list any of the upcoming hearing/trial/CMC dates.

NOTICE: This tentative ruling will automatically become the court’s final order on July 17, 2026 unless, by no later than 4:00 P.M. on July 16, 2026, a party to the action notifies BOTH: 1) the court by emailing Dept520@alameda.courts.ca.gov; AND 2) all opposing counsel or selfrepresented parties (by telephone or email) that the party is contesting this tentative ruling.

The subject line (RE:) of the email must state: “Request for CONTESTED HEARING: [the case name], [number].” When a party emails to contest a tentative ruling, the party must identify the specific holding(s) within the ruling they wish to contest via oral argument.

The court does not provide court reporters for hearings in civil departments. A party who wants a record of the proceedings must engage a private court reporter. (Local Rule 3.95.) Any privately retained court reporter must also participate via video conference. Their email must be provided to the court at the time the Notice of Contest is emailed.

ALL CONTESTED LAW AND MOTION HEARINGS ARE CONDUCTED VIA REMOTE VIDEO unless an in person appearance is required by the court. Invitations to participate in the video proceeding will be sent by the court upon receipt of timely notice of contest. A party may give email notice that they will appear in court in person for the hearing, however all other counsel/parties and the JUDGE MAY APPEAR REMOTELY.
