My daughter has fallen quite ill due to MRSA and secondary infections. She has a hearing 16 days from now; she is self-representing and has completed her portion of the "discovery" phase. Her exhibits have been prepared. She had a timeline of things that needed to be done or satisfied, and even with some non-professional help, has started to miss those deadlines. The exhibits were not submitted in time. She will be writing a "motion for continuance pleading" today when she is up from a nap. I looked up what that is, and in her state, the "motion" can be denied. Even though she is verifiably ill, I suppose that the judge could deny the request. If that happens, is there any alternative she can pursue, or anything else she can do? I am trying to find out as much as I can because she is too ill to spend much time at the law library. Currently, she is being treated at home by a visiting nurse so that she can avoid contact with the general public.
Thank you
