APRIL 25 HEARING DATE
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE ROYAL FURGESON:
COMES NOW JEFF BARON, and moves this Court to grant leave to file the

The undersigned counsel observes the religious holiday of Passover according to
the lunar calendar. This year, the 15 and 16
th

Hebrew calendar, representing God’s freeing the Hebrew nation from slavery in Egypt)
fall on the 19

The 21
st

days of April. Those are the
second two observed days of Passover. As a matter of religious faith and observance,
the undersigned is prohibited from working on those dates.

The undersigned has attempted to have another attorney fill in during the
religious holiday. Primarily because they were concerned that they would be ordered to
be counsel for all purposes without pay, as this Court has done to the undersigned, no
attorney was willing to assist in appearing on this matteras appears to be an intended
or unintended purpose of the prior orders of the Court, to prevent Mr. Baron from being
represented by experienced federal trial counsel.
The receiver has refused to agree to resetting the hearing date for their motion.
This is the first time in all of the undersigneds years of practice that a movant has ever
failed to extend the courtesy of making an agreed motion to reset a hearing falling on
the Passover holiday, and has forced the undersigned to file a formal motion seeking
such relief.
Respectfully submitted,
