The appellants sought a panel review of a motion judge's decision denying their extension of time to perfect materials for a panel review of a prior decision dismissing their appeal for delay.
The underlying dispute concerned unpaid storage costs and the respondents' rights to sell stored property under the Repair and Storage Liens Act.
The appellants requested an adjournment citing injuries from a motor vehicle accident but failed to provide adequate medical documentation.
The appellants also requested recusal of one judge based on alleged bias, which was denied.
The panel upheld the motion judge's discretionary decision to deny the extension of time, finding no reversible error in the application of the governing principles and noting that the appeal had become moot as the property had been auctioned.
