Re: [Case Number and Case Name]
Honorable Judge [Judge's Name],
I, [Your Name], hereby file this Emergency Motion to Stay the Writ of Execution in the above-referenced case. I am representing myself pro se and respectfully request that the court grant this motion based on the following reasons:
*. Reason for Stay: The necessity of the stay arises from the judge's failure to enforce discovery rules, which has led to an incomplete and potentially unjust summary judgment.
*. New Evidence:
- I have obtained an affidavit from a buyer, stating that they never received the business book from the defendant, contradicting the defendant's claims.
- This affidavit is attached as ExhibitA, providing clear evidence of the defendant's misrepresentation.
- The judge's failure to enforce discovery rules in this case has prevented the full disclosure of material facts, creating a genuine dispute.
*. Rule *-* NMRA:
- According to Rule *-* NMRA, summary judgment is appropriate only when there is no genuine dispute of material fact.
- The new affidavit and the discovery issues indicate substantial factual disputes that need to be resolved, thus making summary judgment inappropriate.
I request that the court consider this motion on an emergency basis to prevent irreparable harm and to ensure that justice is served.
