6th Circuit

Motion to Reschedule on Account of Being Whipped?

We come not to rank on this motion, but to praise it. It’s cute, it’s funny, and it’s appropriate Friday fodder: Could one make fun of this hapless husband, for letting his wife drag him on a 350-mile bike tour? Sure. But this motion, while chuckle-worthy in a sitcom sort of way, isn’t TRULY embarrassing […]

Could one make fun of this hapless husband, for letting his wife drag him on a 350-mile bike tour? Sure. But this motion, while chuckle-worthy in a sitcom sort of way, isn’t TRULY embarrassing to the lawyer in question — unlike, say, moving for an extension on account of “inebriation constituting excusable neglect.”
We hope the court granted the motion, and that Mr. Azbill’s counsel is enjoying the bicycle trip — perhaps taking place as you read this.
Update: A commenter reports: “motion was granted on 7/23. counsel was able to ‘please his wife.'”
