My question involves court procedures for the state of: WA
My LLC is subject to an involuntary bankruptcy. The company is dissolved and has no assets. The plaintiff won a default judgement against my LLC because, when I showed up in District Court, I was told I could not represent my LLC and had to have an attorney.
There was a status hearing on an Involuntary Petition brought against my LLC in bankruptcy court where the judge accepted my Answer. He ruled that the case could move forward to trial. The original award was for $11,000 but attorney fees have moved it up to 16,000. I'm hoping the plaintiff abandons her futile pursuit, which may involve piercing the corporate veil, and the case drops off the docket but I need to know how to look at the Scheduling Order which is:
Last day to amend pleading: Feb 27
Last day to file witness list: March 12
Last day to complete discovery: March 14
Last day for petitioner to file and serve brief: March 20
Last day for my LLC to file and serve brief: March 25
Any reply briefs shall be served and filled no later than March 28
Parties shall exchange final witness and exhibit lists no later than March 28.
I'm assuming that the first time that I must file something is March 25. Is that correct? I'm planning on doing a case brief if needed but the judge might not accept it because there is no money for a lawyer to represent.
I'm hoping the plaintiff will bail out of the case to spare herself the expense. If she does, I believe that means the case will drop off the docket and will be dropped. When might I know for sure, according to the Scheduling Order, that she has bailed out of the case? I'm presuming it is after March 20, last day for her to file brief.
