Tentative Ruling
Judge David J. Cowan
Department 20
Hearing Date: Wednesday, April 19, 2020
Case Name: Stephanie Bordenave v. Sport Chalet LLC
Case No.: BC593271
Motion: Motion to be Relieved as Counsel
Moving Party: Littler Mendelson, P.C. (for Elizabeth Staggs Wilson and Christopher Dengler, counsel for Defendant Sport Chalet LLC)
Responding Party: *Unopposed*
Notice: OK
Ruling: The Motion to be Relieved as Counsel of Littler Mendelson, P.C. is CONTINUED for submission of supplemental evidence and a new Proposed Order.
Moving party to give notice.
Moving party Littler Mendelson, P.C. claims its client, Sports Chalet LLC, "has ceased to exist as an operating entity per the bankruptcy court's orders.” At this point, “any remaining assets and liabilities" of Sports Chalet LLC have been transferred to a Liquidating Trust and "are being managed by the Liquidating Trustee, META Advisors, LLC," pursuant to the Delaware bankruptcy court's January 9, 2019 Order confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation of VRG Liquidating, LLC. Thus, Littler Mendelson, P.C. seeks to withdraw its representation of Sports Chalet LLC by Elizabeth Staggs Wilson and Christopher Dengler.
Neither the Order of the Delaware bankruptcy court nor the First Amended Joint Plan are attached to the motion, and these have not been otherwise provided to the undersigned—who was assigned to this case recently on February 3, 2020. The Court currently lacks sufficient information and evidence to grant this motion. The Court cannot know with any reasonable certainty whether Sports Chalet LLC still exists without examining the liquidation plan, the order, or some argument or evidence on the legal consequences of bankruptcy liquidation. Moreover, the Proposed Order for this motion is defective—only the caption has been filled in, while the form order does not check any boxes and therefore does not actually propose any findings or rulings. The Proposed Order is thus insufficient under CRC Rule 3.1362.
Accordingly, the Motion to be Relieved as Counsel of Littler Mendelson, P.C. is CONTINUED for submission of supplemental evidence and a new Proposed Order. Moving party to give notice.
