What case is being heard and who are the parties involved?
Go ahead and take a seat, please. Welcome to the Sixth District Court of Appeal. We are here for one matter this afternoon, Michael T. Alexander versus Michelle Bass. And let me check in. I see that we do have a representative from the Attorney General here present in court. And from our courtroom clerk, do we have connectivity with appellant this afternoon who had requested to appear remotely? I see. We were informed before today's calendar that there had been not yet an opportunity with Mr. T. Alexander to test his connection and that the clerk's office had not, and the calendar clerk had not had success in reaching him despite daily efforts.
Why was a remote connection attempted for Michael T. Alexander and what issues arose?
So what I would propose, Mr. Scholl, perhaps with your indulgence, I think it's about 1.32. If we could give Mr. T. Alexander just until, say, 1.35, just in case he is at 1.30 trying for the first time to connect and having some difficulty, then we can just take up the case, then hopefully hear what he has to say. And if he is not joining us, we'll address respondent's role at that time. All right. Thank you very much. So we'll just remain here and use our time off our record to connect our laptops, which contain electronic briefs, records, and the like.
Yes, we are returning to our record. I believe we have some communication from our courtroom clerk. Okay. All right.
What did the court decide when the appellant could not be reached?
Well, thank you for doing that. So our report is that once again the calendar coordinator and clerk have attempted to reach Mr. T. Alexander in real time here just now and were unable to do so. The phone call placed to his The number that he has on file for us has gone to voicemail, as has been, I believe, the clerk's experience thus far in trying to reach him. So given that, I would be prepared to submit the matter without argument, as it has been fully briefed. And is there any objection from the Attorney General? No objection from us all. All right.
How did the Attorney General respond to the motion to submit the matter without argument?
Thank you. I appreciate that. So that will be the order today. I'll note for our record also that this particular date and time was selected in coordination with Mr. T. Alexander since he had requested a continuance from the original January setting specifically to today. So I think we have tried to give every opportunity to hear from him. in argument as he had requested, but we will interpret from his lack of response and lack of appearance that he is agreeing to submit the matter on the briefs. So that will be the order today, and you'll have a written decision within 90 days.
What are the final orders and timeline for the written decision?
Thank you very much. And we are adjourned for today.
