I do believe this will be the last question on this topic... :-)Is it acceptable to bring in new arguments in the Motion for Reconsideration and should a memo of law be included to support? This is county court and at first blush they do not seem interested in much more than the Answer and judgement.Along those same lines and in your opinion only, would filing this annoy the judge, particularly since it is coming from a Pro Se Defendant? In conversations with the JA they have made it clear that they do not hear Motions from a Pro Se unless the judge deems necessary.If any point we are able to engage your services in addition the online help provided from this service, please do advise. Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX the rest of the weekend~
Hi!Is it acceptable to bring in new arguments in the Motion for Reconsideration and should a memo of law be included to support? You can, if they can help show that the judge applied the wrong law. You don't just ask him to reconsider, as he will surely affirm, since you've not given him a reason to think he made an improper legal decision. So you need to give him the legal argument in a supporting brief.This is county court and at first blush they do not seem interested in much more than the Answer and judgement.Along those same lines and in your opinion only, would filing this annoy the judge, particularly since it is coming from a Pro Se Defendant? It shouldn't, your court rules typically provide for it, so you don't have to go to appeal if there WAS a legal wrong - he can just fix it and it be over - rather than be appealed, take years, and have his decision overturned by the appellate court. In conversations with the JA they have made it clear that they do not hear Motions from a Pro Se unless the judge deems necessary. JA? If someone won't here a proper motion because the person is pro se, I'm sure THAT is an appealable point!If any point we are able to engage your services in addition the online help provided from this service, please do advise. I wish that were so, I am so sorry it is not permitted of me.Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX the rest of the weekend~You too!

Thank you and Judicial Assistant was the reference. She explained that they do not schedule hearings for Pro Se parties and the only way to do so is if we hire an attorney. We inquired about filing a Motion for a hearing and she further explained that we could file what every Motion we would like, we filed it that day and that day they also denied the MTD.
Thank you and Judicial Assistant was the reference. She explained that they do not schedule hearings for Pro Se parties Even if requested? This sounds quite unconstitutional - treating those with attorneys with more choices than those without. and the only way to do so is if we hire an attorney. That is incredible to me. We inquired about filing a Motion for a hearing a hearing about what?? Do you mean you wanted oral argument on your MTD?and she further explained that we could file what every Motion we would like, we filed it that day and that day they also denied the MTD.
Yes, she advised that they do not hear Motions even if requested from a Pro Se.
Yes, she advised that they do not hear Motions even if requested from a Pro Se. That seems so wrong to me.
