Before the Court is the law firm of Clayeo C. Arnold, P.L.C.’s “Motion to be Relieved
18
as Counsel,” filed April 6, 2012, by which it seeks leave to withdraw as attorney of record
19
for plaintiff Rebecca Smith-Lee. Plaintiff has not filed a response. Having read and
20
considered the motion, the Court finds counsel has shown good cause for the relief
21
requested. See Cal. Rules Prof. Conduct R. 3-700(c)(1)(d) (providing counsel may
22
withdraw where client’s “conduct renders it unreasonably difficult for [counsel] to carry out
23
the employment effectively”).
24
Accordingly, the motion to be relieved as counsel is hereby GRANTED.
