Re: Postponement

All you can do is call the Court and attempt to postpone the case again. You should have a good excuse.

The other party may be getting frustrated, and at a certain point may move for fees or costs for causing a delay. If you do not appear tomorrow, you may be defaulted.

Don't hesitate to contact this office if I can be of any assistance.
