RULING
Counterclaimant Paul Demos (“Demos”) filed a Motion to Amend Original Civil
Counter-Complaint on November 4, 2011. Counterdefendant filed its opposition on November
23, 2011. No Reply was filed.
Demos’ Motion is denied because his proposed amendment is, in all respects, legally
insufficient. Walls v. Arizona Dep’t of Public Safety, 170 Ariz. 591 (App. 1991); Moore v.
Toshiba Intern. Corp., 160 Ariz. 205 (App. 1989). Simply put, none of Demos’ proposed
counterclaims state valid causes of actions even if the facts set forth therein are accepted as true.
ALERT: The Arizona Supreme Court Administrative Order 2011-140 directs the Clerk's
Office not to accept paper filings from attorneys in civil cases. Civil cases must still be initiated
on paper; however, subsequent documents must be eFiled through AZTurboCourt unless an
exception defined in the Administrative Order applies.

RULING
The Court has reviewed Defendant/Counterclaimant’s Motion to Compel and Motion for
Discovery Order, filed August 8, 2011, and Plaintiff/Counterdefendant’s Response to Motion to
Compel, filed August 29, 2011.
The essence of the Motion is that the Counterdefendant (“Mountain View”) allegedly
failed to timely respond to Counterclaimant’s written discovery served by mail on June 24, 2011.
However, it appears that Mountain View did timely respond to the discovery requests on
August 8, 2011, the same day Counterclaimant (“Demos”) filed the instant motion.
In addition, it should be noted that Demos failed to comply with the requirement of Ariz.
R. Civ. P. 37(a) to attach his certification of personal consultation.

In the circumstances, the Court declines to award fees to Mountain View given Demos’
pro se status. In the future, however, Demos should heed the legend he applied to his own
motion and insure that all motion papers are filed “in strict accordance to [sic] Arizona Rules of
Civil Procedure.”
The Motion is denied.

unofficial copy of the proceedings, the parties or counsel may request a videotape or CD of the

Electronic Records Services at 602-506-7100.
Should an official transcript be required, you may request that the court prepare it. The
party ordering the transcript must pay for it. To request a transcript call 602-506-7100 and
provide the date of the proceeding, the case number, the case caption, if the transcript is for an
appeal, and your name, address and telephone number. With this new technology, a court
reporter is likely not required and the parties are encouraged to experience the court's video
recording system before requesting a court reporter. If a court reporter is required, the court must
receive a written request at least 3 court days before the commencement of the proceeding.
Failure to timely request a court reporter will be deemed consent to proceed without a court
reporter.

COUNSEL SHALL CONFER TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THEIR DIFFERENCES OR TO
REDUCE THE AREAS OF DISPUTE. COUNSEL ARE REMINDED THAT THE COURT

If extended oral argument is necessary, counsel must so advise the Court no later than
four court days prior to the date set for hearing so that oral argument can be rescheduled.
Any motion or stipulation for continuance must be filed with the Court no later than four
court days prior to the date set for hearing. After that date, no continuances will be granted
except for extraordinary circumstances.
All memoranda and affidavits regarding the motion must be filed and copies lodged with
this division no later than four court days prior to the date set for hearing.
Counsel are advised that if the answering memorandum is not timely filed in accordance
with the Arizona Rules Of Civil Procedure, oral argument may be vacated and the motion will be
ruled upon in accordance with Rule 7.1 (b), A.R.C.P.
No agreement by the parties to modify the pleading schedule will be honored by the
Court unless the Court is notified and approves the parties’ agreement. Any such agreement
will not change the argument date without a court Order and will, in any event, require that all
motions are fully briefed and at issue not later than one full week before the argument date.
