Joint Report Regarding Lunch
Let me set the table for you here: defense counsel asked for more time to respond to the complaint, citing the upcoming holidays (Thanksgiving). Plaintiff’s counsel did not agree to the extension, so an opposed motion for extension of time was filed.
The Court was, well, not thrilled by the dispute.
The Court wanted one thing: the attorneys from both sides to sit down, break bread, and talk. And while I thought a Motion to Compel Lunch at Chipotle was inevitable, the parties quickly complied.
After lunch, the attorneys filed a “Joint Report Regarding Lunch” (lol). It has everything:
- Saw’s BBQ;
- Defense counsel tipping 100%;
- A discussion about “everyone’s small town bona fides.”
Big props to the judge and attorneys here. Hope this never happens to me, but if it does, I’ve got a template in my back pocket and a menu from the best sushi place in town.
