Attorney Bill Fazio filed a motion this morning in San Francisco Superior Court to withdraw himself as counsel for Supervisor Ed Jew's criminal case.

Reached for comment, Fazio told Fog City Journal: "Because of irreconcilable differences with my client, I am asking the court to allow me to withdraw from the case."

Jew is facing nine felony charges in connection with alleged violations of the city election code. There is a question of whether Jew actually lives in the district that he represents, and whether he misrepresented his residence in candidate nominating documents, according to San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris.

A court date for Jew's criminal charges was postponed until Oct. 26, because Fazio needed more time to review the evidence.

A hearing is scheduled Friday morning in Superior Court to formalize the motion, according to a court clerk. .
