Adria English's attorneys, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd and Steven A. Metcalf, on Wednesday requested to withdraw as her legal counsel in a court filing obtained by USA TODAY. They cite "a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship" and "irreconcilable differences" as the basis for parting ways with their client.

"As a result of a fundamental disagreement between" the attorneys and English "regarding almost every aspect of the litigation, including settlement demands, causes of actions in the pleadings," as well as English's alleged "undermining behavior and questionable antics," the attorneys say "an irreconcilable conflict and tension has developed," the motion reads.
