Ernesto Enriquez

Case Number: 25CHCV02154 PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL'S MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL Motion filed on May 12, 2026. MOVING PARTIES: Cynthia Velasco, Esq. and Greenacre Law, LLP RESPONDING PARTY: Plaintiff Ernesto Enriquez NOTICE: OK. RELIEF REQUESTED: An order permitting Cynthia Velasco, Esq. and Greenacre Law, LLP to be relieved as counsel of record for Plaintiff Ernesto Enriquez. RULING: Granted. Withdrawal shall be effective upon the filing of proof of service of the signed order on Plaintiff.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION On May 12, 2026, Plaintiff's counsel, Cynthia Velasco, Esq. and Greenacre Law, LLP, filed the instant Motion to be Relieved as Counsel, supported by counsel's declaration and a proposed order.

On July 24, 2026, the Court found sufficient grounds for withdrawal but continued the hearing because the record did not establish proper service on Plaintiff. The Court ordered counsel to file a corrected proof of service establishing service at Plaintiff's confirmed current address.

On July 24, 2026, counsel filed revised motion papers, declaration, proposed order, and proof of service. The Court has discretion to allow an attorney to withdraw where withdrawal will not prejudice the client or disrupt the orderly process of justice. (Ramirez v. Sturdevant (1994) 21 Cal.App.4th 904, 915.) A motion to be relieved as counsel must comply with California Rules of Court, rule 3.1362.

The Court previously found sufficient grounds for withdrawal based on counsel's representation that an irreparable breakdown of the attorney-client relationship makes continued representation impossible. (7/24/26 Minute Order.)

The service defect has now been cured. Counsel's revised declaration states that Plaintiff's current address is 15831 Olden Street, Space 58, Sylmar, California 91342, that counsel confirmed the address within the preceding 30 days by conversation, and that Plaintiff was served by mail at that address. The proof of service establishes service of the motion, declaration, and proposed order at that address.

CONCLUSION The Motion to be Relieved as Counsel is GRANTED. Cynthia Velasco, Esq. and Greenacre Law, LLP shall be relieved as counsel of record for Plaintiff Ernesto Enriquez effective upon the filing of proof of service of the signed order on Plaintiff. Counsel shall serve the signed order on Plaintiff and all parties who have appeared and shall file proof of service no later than September 4, 2026.

Hearing Date: August 28, 2026
