(6:14:38 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: You around?
(6:15:48 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: I need to know how to file a continuance on a law suit in the state of cali and i feel youre the best person to ask
(6:41:52 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: ok, well you'll have to give me details, is it a civil or a criminal matter?
(6:59:03 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: Civil
(6:59:08 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: Multimillion dollar
(7:12:48 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: and what needs to be continued
(7:12:53 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: response to a pleading? hearing?
(7:24:16 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: hearing
(7:24:48 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: im about to get all of the information sent over to me
(7:25:21 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: The state is apparently trying to award it to creditors and the rest to the state from what im understanding
(7:25:34 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: ok, well the first step would be to see if you can get the opposing attorney to stipulate
(7:25:36 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: to an extention
(7:25:53 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: The problem is the hearing got rescheduled abruptly to tomorrow at 830 am
(7:26:17 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: Then you basically need to have someone show up and beg indulgence on your behalf
(7:26:29 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: see if the court will extend it so you can find an instate attorney
(7:26:37 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: okay
(7:26:46 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: as its too late to do much about it formally
(7:26:51 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: Is it possible to appear by phone with this little ammount of time?
(7:26:57 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: not really no
(7:27:02 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: i didnt think so
(7:27:04 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: you could call the clerk and ask
(7:27:11 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: they might since you are pro se indulge it.
(7:27:18 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: and out of state
(7:27:20 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: okay
(7:27:36 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: but your better bet is to have someone appear on your behalf
(7:27:41 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: Thats what i was thinking
(7:27:43 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: and ask for a brief continuance.
(7:27:56 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: doesnt have to be a lawyer but
(7:28:04 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: retrial for appointing a successor to the winnings and good what did he say
(7:28:06 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: you need to give them a power of attorney to act on your behalf if not.
(7:28:09 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: Thats what is happening tomorrow
(7:28:37 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: a successor to the what?
(7:28:44 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: i mean i'd need a lot more facts to be helpful here
(7:28:50 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: The person that filed the law suit passed away
(7:28:55 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: ok
(7:28:57 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: 3 days before the winnings were dibersed
(7:29:17 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: ok, so there's to be a distribution of a judgment, and he wants to intervene?
(7:29:23 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: yep
(7:29:25 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: is it in probate?
(7:29:33 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: or is it still in civil?
(7:29:43 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: as the answer if its in civil is it goes to the estate.
(7:29:48 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: and probate will figure it out.
(7:30:29 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: if its probate you need a wills and trusts attorney cause thats a whole different ball of wax.
(7:30:54 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: ok
(7:31:03 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: but if theres a hearing tomorrow and you need it extended your best bet is to have someone physically show up and petition the court for an extention so an attorney can be had.
(7:31:17 PM) [email protected]/Thoric Frosthammer: or call the clerk and ask to be heard by phone but that's unlikely.
(7:31:27 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: Okay
(7:31:32 PM) [email protected]/1a176a7e: Dude youre awesome thankyou so much
