Ninth Circuit reverses and offers defense counsel a stern lecture on professionalism

Ahanchian v. Xenon Pictures, Inc.  Defense counsel refused to grant opposing counsel a short extension, won below, but got taken to the woodshed (esp. §III(C)) when the Ninth Circuit reversed.  (I once told opposing counsel the dates of my annual two-week summer vacation and the morning I left he filed a meritless motion on a ten day cycle.  Ah, the joys of litigation.)  (thanks to Eric Goldman for pointing out the case.)
