EX PARTE MOTION TO SET CASE FOR PRE-TRIAL

Petitioner, by undersigned counsel and unto this Honorable Court,

respectfully states:

1. On January 08, 2020, undersigned received a copy of

Respondent's Answer in this case;

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

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

3. As such, undersigned 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.
