I assume you are the Plaintiff, representing yourself. The title of your filing will be "Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Opposition to Demurrer." It is not required, but the Demurring Party may file a "Reply to Opposition," five Court days before the hearing. Good luck.

In most locales, no, but check with the local animal officer who enforces animal protection codes. Assuming you aren't breeding. Or call your local Animal shelter or your vet.
I am sorry you have had to deal with this. Unfortunately, your post does not clearly tell us whether this is an employee of a company you were a customer of, or if this was a co-worker. The answer would be slightly different for each.
If these comments were by a co-worker or supervisor,... Read more »
Its impossible to answer that question without knowing more about what happened. Is it a settlement with your own insurer or a third party? Is there any way you can claim that you were fraudulently induced to sign the agreement? Was there a mutual mistake of fact that caused you to sign the... Read more »
Generally, any attorney in the firm of record can issue a subpoena. It is not unusual, especially with larger firms, for attorneys whose names do not appear on the court’s list of counsel to work on a matter and send out correspondence and discovery requests, including third party subpoenas.
Hello! My brother previously committed a crime in which he had to appear in court for his bench warrant hearing. However, a few weeks later he was arrested for a hit and run crime and has been in jail, which he is serving a 4 month sentence. However, he just received a letter saying that he has a... Read more »
more info is needed.
if it is the same courthouse, I would think the PD would automatically handle it by adding to the calendar and moving to quash the bench warrant.
i would probably merge both cases and work out a package deal if possible.
My car was impounded once before for not being registered. I had no issues getting it out.. it’s my fault for not having it registered I understand that 100%.

This would not be an intellectual property question, but there's not really a law in regards to this. This would be more appropriately a question for the insurance company that was used to fix the ceiling. As far as I know though, most insurance companies don't give any additional value...

There's several pieces to this. First off, you mention that he was "court-ordered not to give", which would imply there's already been a case and judgment on him in regards to his recorded breaches prior to you moving out? If so, then the discussion would be on your issue... Read more »
IS THERE A "PREVAILING PARTY" IF THE PLAINTIFF DISMISSES OR WITHDRAWS A CASE AFTER 3 YEARS OF LITIGATION?
WILL THE PLAINTIFF SOMEHOW BE ORDERED TO PAY ALL THE COSTS OF LITIGATING OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS FOR THE DEFENSE
IF THE PLAINTIFF DISMISSES THE CASE OR JUST DROPS... Read more »
Yes, and if you are the plaintiff and unilaterally dismiss, you are NOT the prevailing party.
How can we, as plaintiffs, who have to stop litigating not end up responsible for the defense costs? We never even realized this was a possibility when we sued. We sued for a very good reason, but for several reasons, we cannot continue this lawsuit any longer (it has been 3 years). Really would... Read more »
First, don't tell the defense you have to stop litigating. You need to settle and get mutual releases. You should discuss with your attorney.
And agrees to give you until that afternoon. But as soon as you leave to get the part he tows the vehicle
Unless the gas station owner was the government, this is not "Civil Rights". Sounds like you have the perfect case for Small Claims. Take all the receipts for paying to get your car out.
If you are a plaintiff and dismiss your case years into litigation, but before a trial, is there a way to not be responsible for the defendant's attorney fees (aside from the defense agreeing to this)?
First, in the US we do not have a rule that the loser pays fees in ALL cases, only in SOME cases. Like if you have a contract provision that allows for attorney's fees. Or if you are suing under a law that also allows for attorney's fees- like for wages, or age discrimination. So you... Read more »
We need help with how we should word the motion filed to withdraw vs dismiss or what to call it?

Read more »
you really want to have an attorney contact them to try to get some money and then when they say no, to ask if I can get them to drop/dismiss the case, we would want a release agreeing that each side shall bear their own costs.
if they know you are going to give in, then they may not agree... Read more »
