SAN JOSE DIVISION

TIMOTHY CLEVELAND,

Plaintiff,

v.

ISABELLA'S AT WHARFSIDE, INC., TENE

SHAKE, and CITY OF MONTEREY,

Defendants.

No. C-09-02376 RMW

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

WITHDRAW

[Re Docket No. 19]

Counsel for defendants Isabella's at Wharfside, Inc. ("Isabella's") and Tene Shake moves to

withdraw as attorneys of record. Defense counsel testifies that his clients breached an agreement

regarding the payment of fees and costs. Under California Rule of Professional Conduct 3-

700(C)(1)(f), counsel may seek permissive withdrawal if the client "breaches an agreement or

obligation to the member as to expense or fees." Accordingly, the court grants the motion to

withdraw. It is hereby ordered that Littler Mendelson, a Professional Corporation, including Todd

K. Boyer and Brian McMillan, be granted permission to withdraw from this case as attorneys

representing Isabella's and Tene Shake. 

The address at which defendants Isabella's and Tene Shake will receive service is: 1410

Manor Rd. Monterey, CA 93940, unless otherwise advised in writing by defendants.
