UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CATALINA CAMPOS-EIBECK,

Plaintiff,

v.

C R BARD INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 19-CV-2026 W (BLM)

ORDER GRANTING EX PARTE 

APPLICATION TO WITHDRAW AS 

COUNSEL [DOC. 22]

Pending before the Court is an ex parte application1 by John Dalimonte, Paul L. Stoller, 

and Ashley Crowell to withdraw as attorneys of record for Plaintiff Catalina CamposEibeck. [Doc. 22.] Despite service of the motion on all parties on January 14, 2020, no 

opposition has been filed.

“The grant or denial of an attorney’s motion to withdraw in a civil case is a matter 

addressed to the discretion of the trial court . . . .” Washington v. Sherwin Real Estate, 

Inc., 694 F.2d 1081, 1087 (7th Cir. 1982). Factors considered in evaluating the 

application include: “1) the reasons why withdrawal is sought; 2) the prejudice 

withdrawal may cause to other litigants; 3) the harm withdrawal might cause to the 

administration of justice; and 4) the degree to which withdrawal will delay the resolution 

 

1 Mr. Rueb styles the document as a motion. The Court interprets it as an ex parte application.

of the case.” CE Resource, Inc. v Magellan Group, LLC, 2009 WL 3367489, at *2 (E.D.

Cal. Oct. 14, 2009) (citing Canandaigua Wine Co., Inc. v. Moldauer, 2009 WL 89141, at 

*1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 14, 2009)). 

Given the procedural posture of this case, Dalimonte, Stoller, and Crowell’s

withdrawal will not prejudice the litigants in this matter, harm the administration of 

justice, or delay resolution of the case. Plaintiff will continue to be represented through 

Mr. Gregory D. Rueb of Dalimonte Rueb Stoller, LLP.

For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS the application to withdraw as 

counsel of record in this action for Plaintiff Campos-Eibeck. [Doc. 22.]

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 17, 2020
