Hi there. Ok, I'm being sued in Los Angeles for a $3,500 credit card debt. I've been living in Puerto Rico for one year now, where I live very poorly. Here's what my case summary says ( histories extract):
"10/17/2007 CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER SIGNED AND FILED BY JUDGE R.(...). MATTER SET FOR ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS OR A DISMISSAL OF THE ENTIRE ACTION SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED FOR FAILURE TO FILE ANY AND ALL PAPERS/DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO BRING THE MATTER TO TRIAL
OR TO EFFECT A FINAL DISPOSITION AS TO ALL ISSUES AND PARTIES TO THE ACTION. HEARING ON 11/19/07 AT 08:30 AM, IN DEPT. (...) . CLERK'S CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE MAILED/GIVEN TO RESPECTIVE PARTIES /COUNSEL."
Question: is this mention bad for me or bad for the Plaintiff? Do I have to show up in Court at the scheduled date, or is it just a preliminary hearing for the Plaintiff to show the judge they have a valid case against me? Am I at risk of a bench warrant if I can't show up for that hearing?
Thanks ++ for your qualif. answ.
It appears to be bad for the Plaintiff. It's his duty to to file those things necessary for trial or disposition. Certainly the dismissal would be favorable to you, assuming you don't have a counterclaim on file(I can't imagine why you would). Unless the Court order specifically requires your appearance, I wouldn't go.

Doesn't Everyone Need to Know More About Bankruptcy? Joking Yes ...
Certainly this article is about bankruptcy but I want to tell you up front that you may come across the word ‘budgie’. Don’t worry, the article is not about birds; I do like budgies though. I use the word ‘budgie’ or ‘budgies’ sometimes in place of budgets because a budget is known to get budged and also as it makes me laugh!
Okay, so bankruptcy is a procedure which allows a debtor (someone that owes money to someone else) to get a court ordered exemption from his debts. In some cases bankruptcy can act as a valuable method to get rid of debts. But everybody who faces any financial difficulty should not file for bankruptcy.
