The Court is in receipt of two requests from Felicia Curran,

The second request to continue the May 11, 2005 trial date

has come in the form of an April 19, 2005 email from one Judith

Abelson, who purports to be Ms. Curran’s assistant. According to

that email, Ms. Curran had a “small heart attack” the previous

day and a continuance is also sought on grounds that testing,

treatment and/or rest may be required as a result of the alleged

cardiac event.

In response to the second request to continue the trial

date, and for purposes of properly considering and ruling on that

request, the Court requires that a written statement be submitted

from Ms. Curran’s physician attesting to her physical condition

and ability to proceed to trial at this juncture. That statement

shall be delivered to chambers as an email attachment, or by

facsimile (916-930-4129), not later than April 25, 2005.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 20, 2005
