CONSIDERATION TO LIFT ORDER OF DEFAULT AND EXTEN-
SION OF TIME TO FILE ANSWER

COMES NOW, Plaintiff through undersigned counsel and unto

this Honorable Court, most respectfully submits this Comment/Oppo-
sition to the Defendant’s Motion for Reconsideration and states that;

1. On June 22, 2018, Plaintiff received a copy of the Motion for

Extension of Time filed by herein Defendant seeking to extend
the time to file her answer on the ground that her counsel has
other equally important cases to attend to;

2. Clearly, this premise lacks basis and is only intended to delay

the case.

3. Considering the foregoing, it is respectfully prayed that the Mo-

tion for Extension of Time to File Answer be denied and defend-
ant Christine Gapor be declared in default pursuant to the Rules
of Court for failure to file an Answer beyond the Reglementary
period. It is further prayed for that this Honorable Court proceed
to render judgment as the complaint may warrant of if this hon-
orable Court will require, direct the Plaintiff to present evidence
ex-parte in support of its Complaint.
