`
`MOTION TO WITHDRAW APPEARANCE PER P.B. §3-10
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The undersigned hereby moves to withdraw the appearance of Westfall & Behrens for the Plaintiff,
`
`Seramonte CT LLC. There has been a fundamental change in the means and practices by which the client
`
`is and will be pursuing its summary process actions. After careful consideration and consultation with the
`
`client, the attorney and client have agreed to terminate their relationship such that the law firm of Westfall
`
`& Behrens must withdraw its appearance from the instant case. The client has secured the services of
`
`alternate counsel. Said counsel already has been filing summary process actions on behalf of the client in
`
`this and other courts such that the withdrawal of Westfall & Behrens will be accomplished without any
`
`materially adverse effect on the client.
`
`
`
`The volume of cases formerly handled by Westfall & Behrens for this client allowed it to manage
`
`the occasional complex and time-consuming case such as the instant one. Absent such volume, this case is
`
`unduly financially burdensome to Westfall & Behrens. Moreover, the nature and substance of the defenses
`
`to this case will involve important policy decisions that should be made in consultation with the client’s
`
`attorney of choice.
`
`
`
`Notice will further be given to the client and a copy thereof to the Court pursuant to the attached
`
`notice upon the Clerk’s scheduling of this motion.
`
`This case has not been assigned for pretrial or trial.
`
`WHEREFORE:
`
`The Plaintiff hereby asks the Court to grant this Motion to Withdraw.
