CHET ALLEN RICHARD PARIS

CYPRESS LAWN CEMETERY ASSOCIATION STEVEN H. GURNEE

Motion to be relieved of counsel

· OFF-CALENDAR. This matter is Ordered Off-Calendar for Lack of Notice and Insufficient Motion Papers. As a result, the Court is without jurisdiction to hear the Motion at this time.

· By this Motion, Plaintiff’s Attorney Richard Paris and his firm Calif. Law & Mediation, Inc. seek to withdraw from their engagement to pursue their client Chet Allen’s suit against Cypress Lawn Cemetery for alleged failure to keep a family mausoleum free from water damage.

· Even if there were jurisdiction here, Counsel’s declaration does not state reasons to show any material breakdown in the attorney-client relationship as is required.

· Moreover, Moving Counsel has not provided proof that the required statutory forms for this type of Motion have been served on his client and all other parties who have appeared in the action as required by Rule 3.1362(d) Calif. Rules of Court. The Proof of Service fails to comply with CCP, Section 1013a.
