I am a pro se litigant.
The opposing side's attorney has moved to deny me an extension of time, and in his motion papers he has made untrue, slanderous statements about me, EITHER INTENTIONALLY or by a RECKLESS DISREGARD for the untruth of his statements about me. These slanderous remarks have damaged me by resulting in the court's denial of my request for an extension. What are my alternatives for redress here? Can I get this attorney removed from this case and can I ask the court to censure him? Can I ask for damages? - Is this your question? Add additional information Answers (3)

It is up to the Court's discretion to sanction those before it. I would proceed with caution. If you take exception to something, file a response or motion. The old adage says, one who defends himself has a fool for a client. It is just very difficult to be objective. Good luck.
