COMES NOW, PETITIONER, MATTHEW CHARLES MITCHELL, through Counsel,

There is no opposing counsel in this case at this time. This request is based on road 

safety. Petitioner’s counsel is presently at her Truckee, California office and was planning on 

driving down to Oakland later today or tomorrow morning to attend the Case Management 

Conference in this case scheduled for 1.30 pm tomorrow, January 6, 2016. The weather in the 

Truckee/Tahoe area at the moment and expected to continue in to tomorrow, is that of a severe 

snow storm having snowed continuously for the last 10 hours, with low temperatures, high 

winds and virtually no visibility on the roads to drive safely. There is also ice on the roads under 

the snow layers which makes driving unsafe and treacherous. The weather has continued to 

deteriorate throughout today and this present storm is predicted by the weather forecasters to 

continue until Friday January 8th 2016. While Petitioner’s counsel has a 4 wheel drive vehicle, 

this vehicle has 93,000 miles on the clock and the breaks can sometimes not function properly in 

the present conditions which counsel herself considers unsafe to drive in. Counsel feels it would 

be unsafe for her to drive to Oakland in these conditions and on this basis asserts this as a 

showing of good cause for this request for a continuance of her appearance at the Case 

Management Conference in this case until January 13th 2016 at 1.30 pm when counsel 

understands a further Case Management Conference calendar will be held. 

Respectfully Submitted 

Dated: January 5, 2016
