I settled my case with Cavalry. It's funny how hindsight is 20/20. I sent out the CCP 96 request 3 days early (mistake on my part). That and signing the Joint Trial readiness report did me in. Here's what happened. I arrived at court and I thought I would be greeted by the rent-a-lawyer that was always there. Nope, there were the REAL attorneys, I looked up their pictures from the law firm website ~that was them. The owner of the firm and the lawyer I've dealt with the whole time. They brought 2 witnesses. I don't know if they were "props". So, first comes offers. We got

Thank you for the info @sadinca. It is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, for being unclear. I meant to say: "Correct, she didn't subpoena the witness." No witness showed up because of the CCP 98 declaration. She followed all of the rules and had great arguments.

Correct. She told me she study up for the case for about a year. I directed her to this website.

... post removed JDB's are watching.

JDB is trying to add a witness and an affidavit to their part of the Joint Trial readiness report. The additional witness is Brian Billings. A trial witness manager from the OC. I think this is a scare tactic. I reminded them of their CCP 96 response and how they will be non-compliant if they add the witness and affidavit to evidence. No CCP 98 was ever sent. Any thoughts? Trial is next Friday Dec 8.

Just got done with Ex parte for continuance. I objected, the judge didn't seem to care. They wanted 2 months and got a 2 week continuance. New trial date Dec 8th. I guess showing up kind of worked out. The judge is definitely not Defendant friendly. I'm not sure if they can send a ccp 98 in a 2 week time frame or any other shenanigans. Any thoughts? I'm asking you @calawyer @Seadragon and any else of the California team. Please advise. What do I do about a Plaintiff loving Judge? Thanks. -gradys

Thanks @RyanEX , @sadinca, and @couwrias . I guess the fight is coming early.

Thanks couwrias, I definitely be going to court tomorrow.

@USCTROY1 I had my Trial readiness conference on Thursday. The rent-a-lawyer asked me if there was any chance for settling, I said no. A few words from the judge ans that was it. Getting ready for war on Friday.
