CASE NO.: 25STCV06382 MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS COUNSEL MOVING PARTY/PARTIES: Attorney Gerald L. Marcus RESPONDING PARTY/PARTIES: None PROOF OF SERVICE: · Correct Address: Counsel represents he confirmed the address by telephone. · Served electronically on March 17, 2026 for a hearing date of September 1, 2026.

CASE HISTORY: · March 6, 2025: Complaint filed. · September 4, 2025: Entire action dismissed. · February 25, 2026: Motion to set aside dismissal of Plaintiff's claims granted.

STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS AND/OR PROCEEDINGS: Plaintiff Diana De La Cruz ("Plaintiff") filed this action based on injuries Plaintiff alleges she sustained in a motor vehicle collision. Attorney Gerald L. Marcus ("Counsel") moves to be relieved as counsel for Plaintiff. Plaintiff has not opposed the motion.

TENTATIVE RULING: Counsel's motion to be relieved as counsel is GRANTED. Moving party to give notice.

DISCUSSION: Motion to be relieved as counsel Counsel has filed forms MC-051 and MC-052 and has lodged with the Court a copy of the proposed order on form MC-053 as required. (Cal Rules of Court, rule 3.1362.) The basis for the motion is a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship. This is a valid reason for withdrawal. Accordingly, the motion is granted.

Counsel should note that the order will become effective upon the filing of proof of service of a signed copy of the order on Plaintiff. Counsel will remain the attorney of record until Counsel files with the Court proof of service of the signed order. Counsel is to serve a copy of the signed order (form MC-053) on Plaintiff within 10 days, and file proof of service thereof. Accordingly, Counsel's motion to be relieved as counsel is GRANTED. Moving party to give notice. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: September 1, 2026 ___________________________________ Rolf M. Treu Judge of the Superior Court
