MOTION FOR LEAVE TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL
Counsel for the Defendant, Providence Group, Inc., respectfully moves this Court,
pursuant to SAR Rule 101 and H.C.C. Rule of Professional Conduct 2.14, for leave to
withdraw as counsel in the above-captioned case. In support of this motion, said
counsel states the following:
1. This action for sanction and monies alleged to be due and owing came to
issue with the filing of Defendant’s Answer on November 13, 2003.
2. On or about December 25, 2003, Plaintiff and Defendant reached a
settlement in and for the above captioned dispute, and on or about January
5, 2004, a Praecipe was entered dismissing the action without prejudice.
3. Plaintiff filed a Motion to re-open this case, which was subsequently granted
by this Court on February 13, 2004, and on March 5, 2004, a status
conference was held wherein this case was set on Track 1.
4. Undersigned counsel has need to file the instant motion for two independent
reasons, both of which constitute grounds for optional withdrawal under
H.C.C. Rule of Professional Conduct 2.14.
5. The first reason as set forth in Rule 2.14(f)(5) is that the client has failed,
“……substantially to fulfill an obligation to the lawyer regarding the lawyer’s
services and has been given reasonable warning that the lawyer will
withdraw unless the obligation is fulfilled.” (See attached affidavit.)
6. The second reason as stated in Rule 2.14(f)(6) is that the client’s conduct has
rendered the representation unreasonably difficult. (See attached affidavit.)
7. Since no trial date has been set, it is not anticipated that the granting of this
motion would delay trial of the case, be unduly prejudicial to any party, or
otherwise not be in the interest of justice.
WHEREFORE, for these and other reasons as may appear to the Court, counsel
for the Defendant respectfully requests that this motion be granted and that they be
afforded leave to withdraw as counsel.
Respectfully submitted,
