Local Rule L.R. 83-2.3.2: Motion for Withdrawal
C.D. Cal. — Attorney rule
L.R. 83-2.3.2 Motion for Withdrawal. An attorney may not withdraw as counsel except by leave of court. A motion for leave to withdraw must be made upon written notice given reasonably in advance to the client and to all other parties who have appeared in the action. The motion for leave to withdraw must be supported by good cause. Failure of the client to pay agreed compensation is not necessarily sufficient to establish good cause.
