Hey, Ryan. This is Graham. How are you doing?
0:23
Hey, Graham. How are you?
0:25
Doing great. Thank you.
0:26
Oh, good. Is this a good time?
0:28
Thank you.
0:29
Yeah. Thanks for giving me a call.
0:31
Sure.
0:32
I wanted to start out and just give you a quick update
0:36
on mediations.
0:38
So the other side is demanding that we participate
0:44
and responded back and said, you know,
0:48
that would have been nice.
0:49
And now when you negotiated for an earlier
0:51
mediation deadline, like a month ago, and didn't mention
0:55
that you wanted to have the party's attendant person,
1:03
the civic reason why this case needs an in-person
1:07
mediation and needs to pay for trust needs to pay for the
1:14
trustee and counsel to travel to a different city that
1:17
either of them are located in a mediator that you propose,
1:20
not located in the city that you are located in.
1:24
And in addition to requiring our clients who attend a person
1:27
because it's all just obviously unreasonable.
1:30
Yeah.
1:30
And rather than providing any explanation of why they think
1:33
it's necessary, they just said, we'll be piling
1:35
a motion to compel an in-person mediation.
1:37
Let us know if you oppose.
1:39
Okay. What does that mean?
1:41
We have a couple of options.
1:43
So in the court to require in-person mediation
1:56
and presumably at that point they would have to give a reason why.
1:59
I am not familiar enough with the judge to know whether
2:04
there's a preference.
2:05
Typically, there is a preference of the judge for in-person
2:08
mediation.
2:09
They say so, and their proposed schedule in order is
2:12
their local rule something.
2:14
Let's see any of that.
2:17
The judge still could require it.
2:20
But we could fight that fight and make Sierra go
2:23
forces to and explain.
2:26
Are you currently in Brazil?
2:28
Yeah.
2:31
Remember, I felt like you're told me maybe they didn't know
2:35
did they know that you live in Brazil?
2:37
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they figured that out and Kyle
2:39
specifically figured it out.
2:45
So I'm sure they're just trying to be difficult.
2:47
Exactly.
2:48
I hadn't disclosed or brought that up because I couldn't
2:51
remember if they knew that or not.
2:53
So we may want to have you sign a declaration and tell the court
2:56
I'm living in Brazil or I'm currently in Brazil.
2:59
And due to the short timeline of when this was, you know,
3:04
raised as an issue, I'm sure of life from Brazil to Dallas
3:08
is super expensive.
3:10
It's like 5,000.
3:11
Yeah.
3:12
Oh my gosh.
3:13
Yeah.
