MOTION TO WITHDRAW APPEARANCE

OF COUNSEL FOR CAUSE

COMES NOW undersigned counsel, and to this most Honorable Court most
respectfully avers:

1.That the undersigned counsel has already terminated his attorney-

client relationship with the defendant particularly because of the latter's deliberate

pay the fees for the undersigned's legal services despite repeated requests for payment
and repeated promises to pay, in violation of the Defendant's Retainer Contract with the
undersigned counsel;

2. In view of the foregoing reasons and defendant's failure to cooperate with the
undersigned counsel, undersigned counsel has found it difficult if not impossible to fulfill
his obligations as lawyer to defendant and defend the case of the defendant.

3. Undersigned counsel most respectfully requests that they be allowed by

this Honorable Court to withdraw their appearance in this case as counsel for the
defendant with the latters express conformity.
 PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, undersigned counsel most respectfully prays

that they be allowed to withdraw his appearance in this case as counsels for all the
above-mentioned defendants and that he be relieved of all their responsibilities relative
to this case.

Other reliefs just and equitable under the premises are likewise prayed for.

Respectfully submitted.
