On August 31, 2004, respondent’s counsel received a letter
and a “Notice of Appeal” from petitioner in which he again
requested a continuance.
On September 7, 2004, during calendar call, both
respondent’s counsel and petitioner appeared and were heard.
Respondent’s counsel reported that there had been no progress in
preparing the case for trial and that petitioner continued to
refuse to discuss a stipulation of facts. Petitioner stated that
he could not make any significant progress without counsel.
Respondent’s counsel requested that the case be set for trial
during the trial session, noting that petitioner had had
sufficient time to secure counsel and to prepare for trial. A
trial was set for September 10, 2004.
Subsequently, at petitioner’s request, the case was recalled
on September 7, 2004, for a pretrial conference. During the
pretrial conference, petitioner claimed that he had paid expenses
for a startup business during 2000 and that he had receipts for
the expenses, but he did not produce them. He also admitted that
he was employed as a technical manager for two companies, Enable
Vision and Geo Works, that he had received a salary from both
companies during 2000, and that he had received a Form W-2, Wage
and Tax Statement, from each company. Petitioner continued to
insist that he would not produce documents or appear for trial
without counsel.
