The civil suit against Sidney has been rescheduled for January 11, 2016, creditor of Toys R Us says Moorer owes about $6,600 from an unpaid credit card bill.
In an Aug. 21 answer to the suit, Moorer checked a box that says he denies responsibility for the debt. I was incarcerated on false charges and was unable to pay, Moorer wrote in court records. I want a trial.
In October, Portfolio Recovery Associates/Synchrony Bank filed a motion for summary judgment that contests Moorers response to the suit. The Defendants Answer only contains general denials and states no issue of fact for trial, the motion states. The law is well settled that the Defendant may not rest on mere denials or averments in the pleading but must set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.
Portfolios motion for summary judgment will be heard at 9:30 a.m. Jan. 11. If the motion is denied, then a trial would begin at 3 p.m., and would be held at the Surfside Beach magistrates office on Scipio Lane.

The article still states that the Elvis trial is scheduled for "sometime in 2016". In that matter:
Sidney Moorers attorney filed a second supplemental discovery motion on Sept. 24, which is also the most recent court filing. The motion doesnt specify what sort of discovery is being sought.
I particularly love the line... "The Defendants Answer only contains general denials and states no issue OF FACT for trial, the motion states."
