Request to Continue Date for Filing Motion for Default Judgment

Case No. CV-07-4131

small firm, and only has one full time legal assistant/secretary/paralegal, Renee Nordyke. She is

principally responsible for the preparation of our documents, including making edits and

revisions to documents and finalizing them for filing with the court. See Declaration of Renee

Nordyke, filed concurrently herewith, at pages 1-2. 

Mr. Trope, the Managing Shareholder, has typing skills and computer skills, but not at a

level of an experienced legal secretary/assistant with 20 years of experience, as Ms. Nordyke.

See Id.

Ms. Nordyke has been “out of commission” all this week recovering from dental surgery

and complications which arose from the surgery. Id. at page 2. Thus Novo Law Group has been

severely handicapped in completing this filing as well as others. Ms. Nordyke was expected to

miss 1⁄2 day of work, not the entire week, and part of next week as well. Id.

On Monday, February 11, 2008, Ms. Nordyke went to the dentist for follow-up and

finishing of one of two root canals. Id. At this time she also had the dentist complete the

preparation for the crowns. She was at the dentist office from 8:45 a.m. to approximately 1:00

p.m. There was a complication with one of her teeth and the gum around the tooth had to be

clipped in order to prepare it for a crown. Id.

On Tuesday, February 12, 2008, Ms. Nordyke awoke with gums so swollen that she could

not properly swallow. In addition, she was in severe pain. After contacting the dentist, she

started taking antibiotics to fight the resulting infection, as well as Vicadin, an extremely strong

narcotic for pain. She has been on both antibiotics and Vicadin all this week. Id.

While taking this medication, Ms. Nordyke has not been able to perform her usual duties

for drafting, preparing or filing documents. Id.

There will be no prejudice to any party who has direct or related interest in this case,

including those parties who are Defendants in the related case noted herein.
