00:00When this soldier couldn't defend herself in court because she was deployed overseas,
00:03the judge refused to move forward with her eviction without her.
00:06Where are we on this case?
00:07This is a termination of tenancy matter based on a failure to maintain the residence.
00:11She's overseas serving our country. You're aware of that?
00:14Attorney Landman did indicate that she hadn't said that.
00:18We don't have any proof of that other than her statements, but I'm not...
00:21I can look in her background.
00:23I also saw some uniformed military paraphernalia at the last hearing,
00:27and I'm going to tell you, she's overseas.
00:31I'll take her work.
00:32All right. I mean, I'm not going to even...
00:35My understanding, I think the gentleman that was here the last time, was that Mr. Contraeus?
00:39Correct.
00:40Okay.
00:41He had indicated that they were basically waiting for her to come back stateside.
00:47That's my understanding.
00:48And when is that anticipated to occur, ma'am?
00:52I want to say within like a month, maybe a little bit longer.
00:55All right.
00:57I don't have an exact date.
00:59Gotcha.
01:00Yeah, I understand.
01:02Although there's the condition that's there, is anything regarding that condition a significant health hazard or life-threatening in any
01:11way?
01:11No, I'm not going to.
01:12All right.
01:13I am not going to, unless forced, issue a judgment against military personnel that's overseas serving.
01:20It's just not going to happen.
01:21I'm going to take you to another judge to do it.
01:23That's fine, but I'm not doing it.
01:25That's bottom line.
01:26What I'm going to suggest, if she's anticipating being back, then I'm going to say, put it out a month.
01:33Let her get back and then assess the situation and try to figure out what to do.
01:37That's understandable, Your Honor.
01:38All right.
01:39Yes.
01:39Thank you so much, Your Honor.
01:41All right.
01:41Ma'am, thank you very much for your service.
