I am defending an eviction for a client who has given possession of the property (as of Nov. 30). Plaintiff’s complaint has one claim – possession. They did request relief for attorney’s fees. NJT/Final Hearing commenced 10/27, was only 30 min and was therefore continued to 12/20. Plaintiff had counsel at that time but they are no longer represented.  I want to file something notifying Court that Plaintiff claim is now moot, making sure that judgment is not entered that hurts (cont'd)..

hurts my client’s ability to rent in the future. I am also concerned of the risk of Plaintiff being deemed the prevailing party and awarded attorney’s fees (even though no Motion for Fees has been filed nor an affidavit). This was a wrongful eviction to begin with, but I was hired after my client filed her answer/aff defenses and had already scheduled NJT, so I was not able to amend pleading. I do intend on filing separate lawsuit against landlord for breaches/violations of duty. Again, they are pro se, so I am not too concerned, but I am curious: should I file a Notice or Motion? With Motion, I can request to hear it during time we have already scheduled for trial to fight to type of ruling/judgment I desire.

Any suggestions, tips, advice, etc. would be so greatly appreciated! TYIA!

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer.

How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?
