SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO

34-2022-00317545-CU-PO-GDS: Richard Holben, as Heir-at-Law and Successor-in- Interest of David Holden, Deceased vs. Windsor El Camino Care Center, LLC 06/10/2026 Hearing on Motion to be Relieved as Counsel in Department 8C

The notice of motion does not provide notice of the Court’s tentative ruling system, as required by Local Rule 1.06. Moving counsel is directed to attempt to contact their clients and opposing counsel and advise them of Local Rule 1.06 and the Court’s tentative ruling procedure and the manner to request a hearing. If moving counsel is unable to contact them prior to hearing, moving counsel is ordered to appear at the hearing in person or remotely.

Counsel has filed a declaration in support of the motion, explaining the potential for conflicts of interest between Clients and the other defendants regarding the alleged liability in this action for the purported wrongful discharge of Plaintiff from the care facility in which he was residing.

It appears that good cause exists to relieve Counsel pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 284(2).

While the declaration in support of the motion has checked box 3a(2) confirming that Counsel has served Clients by mail at their last known address with copies of the motion papers, the proofs of service filed with the motion do not show service to Clients.

The motion to be relieved as counsel is GRANTED if Counsel files a proof of service showing Clients were served as indicated in the Declaration prior to the hearing. The Court will then sign the order submitted, which shall be effective upon the filing of the proof of service of the signed order upon Client.

If no proof of service is filed showing service of the motion on Clients prior to the hearing, the Motion will be dropped for defective service.
