The declaration in support of the motion states that the client [Meet Up Restaurant] has not provided any legal authorization for the attorney (Yang Wenjao, of Concord & Sage PC in Diamond Bar) to represent it, and the attorney accordingly seeks to be relieved as counsel of record.

The other defendant, Yong Wang, executed a substitution of attorney form substituting this attorney out, and is now self-represented.
