Case #21CHCV00104

 

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

 

Motion filed on 4/13/23.

 

MOVING PARTY: Plaintiff Brett C. Flaharty

RESPONDING PARTY: all other parties

 

RELIEF REQUESTED: An order granting Plaintiff accommodations under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California and Federal law.  Additionally, Plaintiff requests an alternative method to file and submit documents and extension of time to file documents.  Further, Plaintiff requests that the Court reconsider its 3/30/23 rulings.

 

RULING: The motion is placed off calendar. 

 

On 4/13/23, Plaintiff Brett C. Flaharty (Plaintiff) filed the instant motion which seeks an order granting Plaintiff accommodations under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California and Federal law.  Additionally, Plaintiff requests an alternative method to file and submit documents and an extension of time to file documents.  Further, Plaintiff requests that the Court reconsider its 3/30/23 rulings.

 

Plaintiff has not filed a proof of service for the subject motion.  See CRC 3.1300(c) (Proof of service of the moving papers must be filed no later than five court days before the time appointed for the hearing.).  No oppositions or other responses to the motion have been filed from the defendants who have appeared in the action to cure this defect in notice.  Therefore, the motion is placed off calendar. 

 

The Court notes that Plaintiff was advised by the Judicial Assistant that his prior request to stay all matters and continue trial, filed on 3/24/23, and for which Plaintiff also did not file a proof of service, was “not appropriate moving papers for such remedies and an ex parte application or noticed motion is required.”  (See 3/30/23 Minute Order).  Despite the foregoing warning, Plaintiff still filed the instant motion without providing proper notice to the other parties in the action.
