x---------------------------------x

EX PARTE MOTION TO SET CASE FOR PRE- TRIAL

Plaintiff, by counsel, respectfully states, that:

1. On May 19, 2021, the plaintiff, Kim L. Lopez received a copy of the
defendant's Answer and Counterclaim in this case;

2. Considering that a Reply to the said Answer and Counterclaim is no

longer necessary due to the fact that said Answer and Counterclaim
does not raise any new or substantial issue which should more properly
be addressed during the trial proper, the said Answer and Counterclaim
is therefore the last pleading contemplated by the Rules of Court;

3. As such, Kim L. Lopez respectfully requests that the instant case be

immediately set for pre-trial.

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the instant case be

immediately set for pre-trial, pursuant to Rule 18 of the Rules of Court.
Other reliefs just and equitable under the premises are likewise prayed for.
