Syllabus

JOINDER – WAIVER – WITHDRAWAL OF COUNSEL: Defendant-appellant waived his argument that his former attorneys should have been joined to a motion to enforce a settlement agreement where those attorneys were entitled to fees under the agreement by failing to raise the issue in the trial court. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by allowing defendant-appellant's attorneys to withdraw as counsel when they provided defendant-appellant with notice of their intention to withdraw, informed him of the deadline to file his response to the motion to enforce, negotiated with opposing counsel to obtain an extension of time to respond, and encouraged him to obtain new counsel.
