ANOTHER Two-Week Breather for Defendants Highlights Bias in Judicial Time Allocation and Defies Judge’s Own Strict Scheduling Order
OCT 23, 2024 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: OCT 23, 2024
This SECOND SUCCESSIVE order further highlights concerns about judicial bias. The Defendants were permitted to request that the Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time be limited, and the court agreed to this request, implying that the Plaintiff’s actions were seen as attempts to “thwart” the foreclosure process.
In part;
“This case is the most recent of many cases that Plaintiff has filed over the past several years to thwart foreclosure proceedings on real property located in Fort Bend, County, Texas. [Incorrect County]”
“Plaintiff filed a Verified Motion for an Extension of Time seeking a 60-day extension of time to respond due to “ongoing and debilitating symptoms as a result of [Hurricane] Beryl”
“PHH is opposed to a 60-day extension of time due to Plaintiff’s extensive litigation history and pattern of delay but does not oppose a short extension of time.”
The court granted a 20-day extension, keeping in mind that the pro se litigant lacks access to electronic filing. In contrast, PHH and their counsel have been allotted 28 days to respond, despite their spurious assertions.
This is a prejudgment of the Plaintiff’s intentions, undermining these proceedings. By prioritizing the Defendants’ concerns and limiting the Plaintiff’s time to respond, the court is brazenly favoring one party over the other.
This not only raises questions about impartiality but also about the equitable treatment of all parties in the judicial process. The swift agreement to restrict the Plaintiff’s extension can only be interpreted that the court has already formed an opinion about the case, eroding all trust in the judicial system’s objectivity.

Once Again, PHH and BDF Hopkins: Deceptive Practices Revealed
OCT 15, 2024 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: OCT 17, 2024
PHH’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S PLEA TO THE JURISDICTION
PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHH”) files this Motion for Extension of Time, requesting the Court permit a short extension of time for PHH to file a response to Joanna Burke’s (“Plaintiff”) Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction.
[Doc. 33].
In support thereof, PHH would respectfully show the Court as follows.
1. Plaintiff filed her Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction on October 7, 2024. [Doc. 33].
2. On the same day, Plaintiff also filed her Response to PHH’s Second Motion to Declare Plaintiff a Vexatious Litigant [Doc. 34] and Response to PHH’s Motion for Summary Judgment. [Doc. 35].
Pursuant to the Court’s Order granting extension, PHH has until November 4, 2024, to file its Replies. [Doc. 37].
4. PHH respectfully requests an extension of time to file its Response to Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss for fourteen (14) days to November 11, 2024.
Due to the necessity of time and attention to devote to the Replies, along with multiple hearings, mediations and previously scheduled deadlines of Counsel for PHH between the filing of Plaintiff’s Motion and the deadline, Counsel for PHH need additional time to review the Motion and prepare a response and objections (if necessary).
5. PHH makes this request in good faith and without intent to unduly delay these proceedings.
This extension will not prejudice Plaintiff or represent substantial burden to the Court.
6. PHH assumes Pro Se Plaintiff is opposed to this request for extension of time, as no response was received to email attempt to confer.
For the foregoing reasons, PHH respectfully requests that the Court grant this Motion for Extension of Time, extending the deadline for filing its Response for fourteen days, until November 11, 2024. PHH further requests and prays for such other relief, at law or in equity, to which it has shown itself to be justly entitled.
Respectfully submitted,
