client and, or, private investigator, and, or, process server, and, or, records researcher gave me, or 

be reviewing the Court’s case file. If called to testify, I would testify as follows: 

 2. Prior to May 5th, 2016, the Plaintiff and Defendants agreed to the terms of the 

settlement. On May 5th, 2016, Plaintiff, through his attorney sent a draft settlement agreement. 

Defendants, through their attorney subsequently agreed to the terms of the draft settlement 

agreement. 

 3. Defendants, through their attorney advised Plaintiff, through his attorney, that 

Defendants would promptly return a signed settlement agreement and perform the terms of the 

settlement agreement. 

 4. On May 12th, 2016, Plaintiff, through his attorney sent via electronic and postal 

mail, a signed copy of the settlement agreement. 

 5. On May 12th, 2016, Plaintiff, with permission of Defendants filed a Notice of 

Settlement. 

 6. Despite repeated emails and phone calls, Plaintiff had not received a signed copy 

of the settlement agreement in return nor had Defendants performed under the terms. Therefore, 

Plaintiff subsequently asked this court for additional time to file the dismissal documents. 

 7. On June 23rd, 2016, the Honorable John A. Mendez granted Plaintiff additional 

time and ordered that dismissal documents be filed by July 8th, 2016. 

 8 .On, or around, July 8th, 2016, attorney for Defendant, Michael Welch, informed 

Plaintiff’s attorney that he had attempted to get into contact with Defendant but Defendant had 

ignored his phone calls. Defense attorney, Michael Welch, subsequently drove down to the 

business of Defendant but was unable to get a hold of Defendant. 

 9. On July 10th, 2016, I filed a request for a continuance to file the Dismissal 

documents.

 10. This court granted the request and stated that such documents would now be due 

on July 22nd, 2016. 

 11. Defendant attorney Michael Welch still has not gotten into contact with his client. 

I therefore ask for an additional fourteen (14) days to allow Attorney Michael Welch a chance to 

discover the whereabouts of Defendant. 

 12. For these reasons, I ask for the Court’s patience and request an additional fourteen 

day continuance.
