CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
SECTION 285.2

285.2.  If a reduction in public funding for legal service
materially impairs a legal service agency attorney's ability to
represent an indigent client, the court, on its own motion or on the
motion of either the client or attorney, shall permit the withdrawal
of such attorney upon a showing that all of the following apply:
   (a) There are not adequate public funds to continue the effective
representation of the indigent client.
   (b) A good faith effort was made to find alternate representation
for such client.
   (c) All reasonable steps to reduce the legal prejudice to the
client have been taken.
   A showing of indigency of the client, in and of itself, will not
be deemed sufficient cause to deny the application for withdrawal.
