Greetings -
I assume the other lawyer has filed a motion for
a continuance. He or she will have to show
good faith in asking for a continuance. In Illinois a party and/or an attorney can be
financially penalized (sanctioned) for filing a
motion that has no merit or is frivilous. Hopefully, you have an attorney. If not, I suggests that you hire one. Representing yourself
can be a dangerous proposition.
