URGENT MOTION TO CANCEL HEARING

DEFENDANTS, by the undersigned counsel and unto this Honorable Court respectfully
allege:
That the above-entitled case is reportedly set for hearing tomorrow, March 17, 2004 at
8:30 a.m.;
That considering that tomorrow at 8:30 a.m., undersigned will appear before RTC-Branch
36, Gapan City in connection with the hearing of 15 criminal cases where the accused are mostly
detention prisoners and in 1 civil case before RTC, Branch 34, Gapan City, the undersigned fears
that he could no longer appear in the above-entitled case because normally the proceedings
before Branch 36 lasts up to 12:00 noon;
That in view of this conflict of schedules and without any intention to delay the early
termination of the proceedings in this case, it is respectfully prayed that the scheduled hearing
tomorrow be cancelled and reset preferably on April 23, 2004 at 8:30 a.m.
PREMISES CONSIDERED, it is respectfully prayed that this Motion be granted.
Such other reliefs and remedies just and equitable in the premises are likewise prayed for.
