Q: How do I request the ability to file a Sur-Reply to my attorney's reply to the Court?
Judge adjourned a decision on attorney request for withdrawal pending attorney's request to Reply to my Opposition. I do not know what his reply entails as I have not yet received a copy. Is it the kind of thing that I can and should reply to if the attorney is stating misinformation? Is it common that the Judge adjourns an attorney's request for withdrawal? I did file an Opposition, and since I live out-of-state I was given permission to not have to appear in person, so I do not know yet exactly what took place at the conference. What is the typical process for requesting permission to file a Sur-Reply, if I feel it is needed? Thank you.
A: Typically such additional replies are discouraged, and you may have to petition for permission to do so. Consult with the rules of court in your particular court re: that. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney such as myself. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website, www.AEesq.com. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.
