Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
If in pro per Plaintiff is recovering from surgery and is on life support (w/ breathing machine, but still awake and concious to make decisions), and has a case pending in unlimited civil court, that was filed before Plaintiff became seriously ill, would a Motion To Stay Proceedings be appropriate, until Plaintiff makes a recovery.
Do you think it would be granted?

It is very likely to be granted if properly presented. Bear in mind, however, that the only person who can present it is a licensed California lawyer, and a substitution of attorney would have to be filed substituting the attorney for the pro se plaintiff first.
