MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL TIME
COMES NOW respondent by counsel and unto the
Honorable Office respectfully states that:
1. On 05 DECEMBER 2018, respondent received the
subpoena dated 19 November 2018 directing the respondent
to submit within ten (10) days from receipt thereof his counter-
affidavit to the complaint and with the given period,
respondent had until 17 December 2018 to comply therewith;
2. His counsel, whom he just engaged last 12 December
2018 is presently laden with professional chores consisting of
almost daily-court appearances and preparation of equally-
important pleadings, apart from the need to intelligently study
the case, that he needs a non-extendible period within which
to file the desired pleadings;
3. The motion is made in good faith and never intended to
delay the disposition of this case, but solely due to valid reasons
herein set forth.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed
of the Honorable Office that herein respondent be given an
additional period of ten (10) days from 27 December 2018 or
until 7 January 2019 to file said counter-affidavit to the said
complaint.
