TENTATIVE RULING

Hearing Date:           4/29/2024 at 1:30 p.m.

Case No./Name:       20STCV48638 NATHAN THOMAS ECKLOFF vs WALTER JOSEPH HARRIS

Motion:                    MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL

Moving Party:           Plaintiff

Responding Party:    Unopposed

Notice:                      Sufficient

Ruling:                              MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL IS DENIED AS MOOT

On December 18, 2020, Plaintiff filed the present motor vehicle case. On March 26, 2024, Plaintiff filed an application to continue the trial and all trial-related deadlines. The court granted the ex parte application and continued the trial from April 22, 2024, to July 30, 2024. All procedural trial litigation deadlines were to follow the new trial date. On March 21, 2024, Plaintiff filed the present motion, which substantially has the same arguments as his March 26, 2024 ex parte application. Since the Court has considered Plaintiff’s arguments and granted the ex parte application, the present motion is moot and therefore DENIED.
