Approximately two weeks ago I tried reopening my traffic citation case. I did not want to just give up as this was a completely bogus citation. Last time I tried reopening the case I failed miserably due to inferiority of the court’s hearing date “tracking” system also known as a big old ledger book. I was hopeful that this time around they should have January of 2009 mapped out in that book. I was wrong. But we’ll get to that part.
Having learned my lessons I arrived one hour after the court house was opened. Only 5 people in line to get into the building. Awesome! After entering the building I went to the windows that service cases like mine. This time around 6 out of 10 windows were opened and not more than 10 people in line. Awesome! I literally had to wait 5 minutes. I am at the window, I do my pitch. And the response I get is … absolutely identical to the one I got over 2 weeks ago. We do not have January dates ready, the only available date is December 24. And I am out of town on that day. I was devastated. I almost start begging the clerk asking if there was anything she could do to help me out in my dire situation. It was my second time at the court house. It was pretty much one week till I would become ineligible to reopen my case. And it did not seem probable that they would have their book mapped out for January in a week.

“Let me see what I can do” – she told me and disappeared for a couple of minutes. When she came back she had the court date and time ready for me – January 13, 2009 at 1:30pm. I was ecstatic. Finally someone in the court system can take care of business.
I am back in the game now and will be getting ready for my hearing. I can’t wait …
