I have several requests in to the court for a hearing. It was been several weeks with no response to the initial requests or the follow ups. However, the court immediately granted a hearing to opposing counsel. Is there a legal concept about being first in line to appear before the court to get my motions heard? This is a civil matter. Court dismissed me with prejudice, which I got reversed on appeal. Now the court does not appear to want to hear my case. During the time I was in the appeal process (from hearing officer to judge), the court rendered several unfavorable rulings against me--all of which will be moot if I prevail. Matter involves an void marriage which is being treated like a divorce.

there is no such rule of first in line. the court wishes to hear the issues the other side has raised, for what ever reasons the court may have to do so. as to your matters, you may wish to write a polite letter to the court asking whether the matters you raised could be heard following the matters for which the hearing is called if the court has time on its calendar.

One option is to file a complaint asking for a writ with the court of appeals asking it to order the trial court to do its job. I recently secured a writ of procedendo against a judge who put a civil defendant in jail for contempt without signing an appealable order. The court of appeals essentially orders the trial court to do its job. It is not something done lightly, though; judges tend to resent it.
