B) August 26, 2026 DEPARTMENT B LAW AND MOTION RULINGS Attorneys who elect to submit on these published tentative rulings, without making an appearance at the hearing, may so notify the Court by communicating this to the Department's staff before the set hearing time. See, e.g., CRC Rule 324(b).

Counsel Fassett, of Price Postel and Parma LLC, moves to be relieved as counsel for plaintiff. Counsel appears to have lost contact with plaintiff. This motion was initially heard and denied 7/28/26 by Judge Amerian for failing to specify by what means notice was given to plaintiff. Counsel subsequently refiled and specified that notice was sent to plaintiff's last known address and emailed to plaintiff's last known email. Counsel attempted to contact plaintiff through plaintiff's other counsel (who is not seeking to be relieved). Plaintiff did not file opposition. Trial is set for 9/14/26. As plaintiff has other counsel, a continuance should not be required. GRANT.
