TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD, Plaintiff Beretta Hoff 

hereby respectfully requests a continuance of the summary judgment hearing scheduled 

for January 18, 2008, to February 15, 2008, for the following reasons:

was continued per defendant, PBIS’ re-notices. It was scheduled for December 

18, 2008 per the court, sua sponte. On November 13, 2007, Mr. Cowan received 

notice of the previously scheduled hearing and consented to the date with 

opposing counsel in that case. 

2. Further, unfortunately, Robert Cowan’s life and work were disrupted by the 

untimely death of his aunt, Ruth Langston, on December 11, 2007. Due to that 

difficult event, Mr. Cowan was not emotionally able and did not return to his law 

office until December 26, 2007 to prepare an adequate opposition. 

Dated: December 28, 2007
