The plaintiff in a fraud recovery action requested a case conference after the self-represented defendant failed to comply with a timetable for a summary judgment motion.
The defendant produced medical evidence that he was undergoing chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer and requested an adjournment of cross-examinations.
The court adjourned the summary judgment motion to a peremptory date and established a new timetable on consent to accommodate the defendant's medical treatment while ensuring the motion proceeds before his scheduled criminal sentencing.
