I'm sure that during the long traffic hold-up Mr Slabaugh could have phoned in to JB to express his concerns about getting there on time ( although he was 5 hrs later than he thought) and JB or CM could have picked up the phone to call HHJP- from what we have seen HHJP has made himself available by cellphone and email, and a message could have got to him to ask for a one day extension.
None of this happened. You have to wonder why...
HHJP has already addressed his lack of compliance, so why do they think he is going to be willing to re-visit the topic?
HHJP specifically asked Baez when he was one hour past the deadline did it occur to him to pick up the phone and ask for an extension and
Baez said he didn't think it would be an issue. So, IMO, I don't think it matters at this point if the 'courier' left at 8am that day and was in a terrible accident where he lost his arm and they included the arm on this motion as an attachment. IMO, Baez showed his contempt for the court when he stated he didn't think it mattered to obey a court order, and that's why he got slapped with sanctions.
