MINUTE ENTRY
Before the Court is Defendant Mario Mercado II’s January 2, 2024, request to “File an
extension to respond to the court”.
IT IS ORDERED granting Defendant Mario Mercado II’s request. Defendant Mario
Mercado II shall have until February 16, 2024, to file an Answer to Plaintiff’s Complaint.
ATTENTION SELF-REPRESENTED LITIGANTS: Unless an attorney files a notice
that he or she represents a party, the person(s) not represented by an attorney will act as his or her
own attorney. The law requires the Court to hold all persons representing themselves to the
same standard as a licensed attorney. Self-represented litigants are encouraged to review the
Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, paying particular attention to Rule 26. Please note that only a
licensed attorney may represent a corporation, LLC, or similar business entity in the
Superior Court. Ramada Inns v. Lane & Bird Advertising, 102 Ariz. 127, 426 P.2d 395 (1967).

Before the judge can consider anything you send him, you must show him that you have
given a copy of your request:
1. To the Clerk of the Court. The Clerk of the Court is a separately elected official. It is
the clerk’s job to keep an independent record of everything that happens at the court.
The Court cannot act on a document that has not been made a part of that record; and
2. To every other party involved in the case. This is so all parties have a fair chance to tell
the judge what they think before he makes a decision.
Because of that, if you want the judge to consider something you send him, you must file
the original document with the Clerk of the Superior Court, mail or deliver a copy directly to this
division (that is, to the judge, using his specific courtroom address), and mail or deliver a copy to
all opposing parties. In addition, on each document you must include a signed certificate that says
whether you mailed or hand delivered each copy, when you did so, and states the specific people
and the specific addresses to which you mailed or hand delivered each copy. If a party is
represented by a lawyer, you must send or deliver the copy to the lawyer, not to the party. All
proposed orders submitted to this division must include copies of the order with self-addressed,
stamped envelopes for all parties/counsel.
Do not mail or send papers for the clerk or other parties to the judge.
If you want to file papers with the Clerk of the Court by mail, please send them to:
Clerk of the Superior Court’s Office
Civil File Counter
201 W. Jefferson
Phoenix, AZ 85003
The clerk’s guidelines for filing by mail can be found at:
http://www.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov/filing-by-mail.asp
If you are not represented by a lawyer, you must keep the Court updated regarding your
current address and telephone number. If your address or phone number changes at any time, you
must file a notice of change of address/phone number with the Clerk of Court. That form can be
downloaded at no charge from the following website:
