STIPULATED PRELlMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER WITH ASSET FREEZE AND OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF

MINUTE entry before Judge David H. Coar on 8/22/2007:Status hearing continued to 8/27/2007 at 09:00 A.M.Mailed notice (pm, ) (Entered: 08/22/2007)

What do you do when someone from another place comes to your court, hat-in-hand and asks for a continuance?

Why you tell him "Find someone here and only communicate with me through local counsel or I'll strike your motion in 30 days. Your pick.", of course. It's called a Rule 83.15 letter after the local rule it references.

That rule states:

LR83.15. Local Counsel: Designation for Service
