Summary (Justice Demanded)
This document, titled “Notice of Unavailability”, is a court filing indicating that the legal representative, George W. Gagnon III, for the State of Washington will be unavailable from May 21, 2018, through May 25, 2018. This notice has been sent to all parties involved in the case, including Aaron Michael Surina, the respondent and father.
From Aaron Surina’s perspective, this notice might be seen as unfair or unethical. Firstly, the timing of the unavailability of the state’s representative could potentially delay the court proceedings, causing unnecessary stress and financial burden for Mr. Surina. Secondly, a delay in court proceedings may extend the time he has to wait for a resolution in his case, which could impact his emotional well-being and his relationship with his child. Lastly, it is unclear from the document whether any steps have been taken to ensure that the case progresses smoothly in the absence of Mr. Gagnon, which could be seen as a lack of regard for Mr. Surina’s rights as a party in the case.
There might be a perceived bias if the court allows the proceedings to be delayed due to the unavailability of one party’s representative. It may imply that the court is favouring the state’s side by giving them additional time, possibly putting Mr. Surina at a disadvantage.
It’s important to note that while these perceptions can be deemed as potential injustices from Mr. Surina’s perspective, the document does not provide direct evidence of unethical conduct or judicial bias.
