What is a motion to withdraw?

A motion to withdraw is a request made by a party or their attorney to remove themselves from the case or to dismiss the case altogether. This motion is typically made when the party or attorney no longer has an interest in pursuing the case, has discovered new information that makes the case untenable, or wishes to pursue other options.

The court will typically grant a motion to withdraw if it is not opposed by the opposing party or if there is good cause for the withdrawal. A party or attorney who makes a motion to withdraw must provide a valid reason for their request and must have complied with all applicable rules and procedures.

If a motion to withdraw is granted, the party or attorney will be removed from the case and will no longer be obligated to participate in the legal proceedings. However, any obligations or responsibilities that they had up to that point will still need to be fulfilled.
