But I don't think that counts.
He was ordered to show cause. If you file a motion saying "Wahhhh, I don't wanna show cause." You need to do it early enough the judge can respond before the due date. Otherwise the show cause, or any other order, is still due. You can't just file the something else at the last second and assume it's going to be approved. I don't think this is useful advice since I believe this exact thing has happened in this case before.
Even Stebbins has gotten this right lately, he had something due, whined about it asking for something else, didn't get a reply and still produced the correct, but retarded, response by the due date.
