MOTION TO WITHDRAW
(5:11-cv-02517-HRL)

1

P PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT on August 30, 2011 at 10:00 a.m., or as soon

2

thereafter as counsel may be heard by the Court, Defendant Yvonne Young and her counsel,

3

Owens Tarabichi LLP, jointly move the Court, pursuant to Local Rule 11-5(a), for an order

4

permitting Owens Tarabichi LLP to withdraw as counsel for Ms. Young. To the extent the Court

5

is agreeable to deciding the matter on the papers, such action is requested because opposing

6

counsel has stated that Plaintiffs will not oppose the instant Motion and because Ms. Young

7

consents to the withdrawal of his counsel.

8
9

This Motion is made on the grounds that Ms. Young wishes to represent herself moving
forward.

10

This Motion is based on this Notice of Motion and Motion and the accompanying

11

Memorandum of Points and Authorities, as well as the pleadings and papers on file in this action

12

and such other argument, evidence, or matters as may be presented to the Court at the time of

13

hearing.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
Good cause exists to permit David R. Owens, Bruno W. Tarabichi, and the law firm of

16

Owens Tarabichi LLP to withdraw as counsel for Defendant Yvonne Young. In this regard, Ms.

17

Young has requested that Owens Tarabichi no longer represent her in this action and has

18

indicated that she wishes to represent herself. As such, Ms. Young not only consents to Owens

19

Tarabichi LLP’s withdrawal, but the withdrawal is being filed at her request. Ms. Young’s

20

consent is evidenced by his signature below.

21

Furthermore, Owens Tarabichi LLP’s withdrawal from this case will not disrupt or

22

otherwise delay this case. Specifically, this case is still in the early stages of the case—the initial

23

case management conference has not yet been held and the parties have not engaged in formal

24

discovery to date.

25

Finally, pursuant to Local Rule 11-5(a), Owens Tarabichi LLP has provided prior written

26

notice to both the client, Ms. Young, and to opposing counsel. Ms. Young consents to, and has

27

requested, the withdrawal. In addition, opposing counsel indicated that Plaintiffs will not oppose

28

the instant motion. Accordingly, Owens Tarabichi LLP and Ms. Young respectfully request that
