At the appeal they didn’t show the judge gave me an adjournment for two weeks later. Two weeks later I appear for my case and the defendant is not there once again. The judge asked me to prove my case. I presented my case to the judge and the judge stated I had enough evidence and awarded me monies. I waited the month and ordered my transcript when I didn’t receive the transcript I called the court office to follow up and they stated that it was on hold because the other party has filed a show cause. Apparently, I am supposed to be informed of this and I have not received anything as of today and its next Thursday. What is a show cause, do I need to appear/can I appear? will I lose this time, does the judge review the prior trial or is a new trial granted automatically.
