> Shelter being sued in Breeder Shut Down Effort Hi again all, As I read it, this was NOT an 'ex parte' petition, (plaintiff pleading before judge for relief [as in a restraining or protection order-singly-without the opposing side]) you have been served the complaint with X number of days to respond. So, respond and bring your evidence. You may act as your own attorney, but if you ask for a continuance until you secure legal counsel, you more than likely will be granted it, but the McKays may also be granted temporary relief. Big deal. PERSONALLY, I feel that a person going forward WITHOUT an ex parte order and only a law suit is looking for $$ only, not relief in barring the defendant(s) from entering the property or from publishing their web site(s), opinion(s), etc. I see that as BS. If they want notoriety, let 'em have it! From what I've seen and read about the McKays, you've done nothing wrong and all those that agree on this list and others, should stand behind you and the other defendants.
