Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, which helped win an $88.5 million California jury verdict for MGA Entertainment Inc. in a dispute over the rights to the highly profitable Bratz doll line, has asked for permission to fire its client in a related New York dispute on the ground that the company owes more than $1.2 million in attorney fees.
