Oh Snap...... Donny just fired his attorney.
Donny Pauling dismissed his defense attorney less than two weeks before he is scheduled to go on trial on sex charges.
Roberto Marquez filed a motion in Sutter County Superior Court on Thursday requesting he be relieved as attorney of record for Pauling. The motion is scheduled to be heard today.
The jury trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 29.
In a declaration, Marquez said he met with Pauling, accused of having unlawful sex with three minor girls, in jail earlier this week.
Pauling "informed me that he no longer desired my services and that he was discharging me from representing him in his cases in the Sutter Superior Court," Marquez said in the court filing.
Marquez wrote, "There has been an irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship, making it impossible to render effective assistance to Mr. Pauling," the declaration said.
Marquez said he could not comment.
In the motion, Marquez said the attorney may be changed at any time, upon the application of either client or attorney.
