Litigation

The Real Reasons for Litigation Delay

By Bruce Nye

Say what you will about California.  Sometimes we have a sense of humor, and sometimes we have manners.  Sometimes we have both.  Tentative ruling from Judge Barbara Zuniga from Contra Costa Superior Court (one of the nicer people on the California Superior Court bench, by the way), continuing hearing for the second time:

1.  COURT APOLOGIZES TO COUNSEL.
2.  COURT NEEDS TO PUT THIS OVER ONE MORE TIME.
3.  COURT JUST RETURNED FROM A CONFERENCE IN PHILADELPHIA.  HOWEVER, LUGGAGE WITH MOTION PAPERS AND COURT?S NOTES STAYED IN PHILADELPHIA.
4.  LUGGAGE WAS DELIVERED TOO LATE FOR COURT TO COMPLETE TENTATIVE.
5.  MOTION CONTINUED TO NOVEMBER 21, 2007.
