This marvelous contribution is from Judge A. Lee Harris of Hill County Court at Law in Hillsboro, who writes that he found the following message awaiting him on the fax:
I. Comes now Phillip Robertson, Attorney for Defendant, who moves for a continuance and would show the Honorable Court the following: 1. Defendant will be present in court today. He
has a setting this morning at 9 a.m.
II. Unbeknownst to Counsel, Counsel’s wife procured two tickets to THE WORLD SERIES IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, FOR THE FIRST GAME OF THE WORLD SERIES. She
bought these for his son and him to go. Counsel nor his son has gone to the World Series in either’s life, as both are Texas Rangers fans.
III. Counsel and his son have traveled across the country to Spring Training in Arizona, to (all regular season games) Boston, to Philadelphia, to New York (both Yankee and Shea), to St.
Louis (new and old Busch stadium), to Chicago (Wrigley and Comerica), to Washington, and to Kansas City, all on baseball trips. But never to the WORLD SERIES. Counsel is 38 and his son is 11.
IV. Counsel begs the court to reset the case for a short time so we may dispose of the case without a trial. Counsel has received a recommendation from the Honorable County Attorney.
Respectfully submitted,
Phillip Robertson,
Attorney for Defendant

Motion for Continuance Conditionally Granted.
Defendant’s Counsel’s Motion for Continuance is granted on the condition that he purchase the 11-year-old son at least one jersey from each team and make every effort, including leaping over rails, to obtain a game ball.
Signed Oct. 24, 2007
