STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CENTRAL DISTRICT BRITTNEY CONLEY, an Individual, Plaintiff, vs. THE PEOPLE CONCERN, a California Nonprofit Corporation; and DOES 1 through 10, Inclusive, Defendants. |))))))))))) | CASE NO: 26STCV13311 [TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL--CIVIL Dept. 731 September 1, 2026 8:30 a.m. Matter No. 8

| Moving Party: Counsel, Brenda Burton, Esq. of Laurel Employment Law Opposing Party: None Notice: OK Now before the Court is counsel Brenda Burton, Esq.'s motion to be relieved as counsel of record for Plaintiff Brittney Conley.

The Court's review shows that counsel's moving papers satisfy the requirements of California Rules of Court, rule 3.1362. The motion and its corresponding declaration and proposed order were properly executed, filed, and served on Plaintiff and on counsel for Defendant The People Concern, via authorized means, as reflected in the proofs of service accompanying the moving papers. (See Jul. 13, 2026, Filings & attached Proofs of Service.)

As no trial has been set in this action, and as no opposition from Plaintiff or Defendant appears in the record, insufficient prejudice exists here to override relief. (See Ramirez v. Sturdevant (1994) 21 Cal.App.4th 904, 915 [court should consider whether the attorney's "withdrawal can be accomplished without undue prejudice to the client's interests"].)

Moreover, there is no basis to determine that undue delay or injustice will arise from the Court relieving counsel of representation for Defendant. (See Mandell v. Superior Court (1977) 67 Cal.App.3d 1, 4 [motion should be denied if it will cause undue delay in the proceeding or cause injustice].)

The Court accordingly GRANTS counsel's motion, which shall be effective upon the filing of the proof of service of this signed order upon the client. Plaintiff Brittney Conley is ordered to give notice.
