The third parties moved to strike the self-represented defendant's third-party claim.
The defendant had previously alleged mortgage fraud against the plaintiff and the third parties, but a prior summary judgment motion found the mortgage valid and no evidence of fraud.
The defendant sought an adjournment, which the court denied due to a prior peremptory order and insufficient evidence of incapacity.
The court struck the third-party claim, finding it was issued late without leave, constituted an abuse of process as a collateral attack on the prior judgment, and disclosed no reasonable cause of action.
