What is the California Local Rule and Federal civil code for Motion for Leave to Amend and Motion to Reconsider a denial decision to dismiss a civil law suit? Additionally, can you provide any Supreme Court, federal, or state rule that I can cite to dispute the plaintiff's motion to strike my motion for leave to Amend, where I can argue it is my 'right to be at least heard' for reconsideration and request for leave to Amend my prior motion?

I am a Danish national on vacation in Buffalo, New York, and my passport stamp indicates I must leave the country by May 10, but my ticket is for May 11. I cannot use the I-539 form for an extension because I am here on a Visa Waiver. I tried crossing into Canada and returning to get a new stamp, but it did not work. What should I do to avoid potential future issues with re-entering the U.S.?

I'm a 52-year-old male who had shoulder surgery on 11/12/2010 and has since lost 30% of my movement. I've used up all my leave and am returning to work at 70% capacity, which is my 100% post-surgery. My job requires 100% and I'm in daily pain. The doctor suggests more tests and possibly more surgery, which could risk my job. I have house payments and other financial responsibilities. What legal options do I have to address this situation, and is there a way to pursue action without jeopardizing my job?

My second mortgage was sold but no one has contacted me or changed my lien holder. I think the second mortgage company went out of business. It has been at least five years. What do I do?

I have been sued in a Justice of the Peace (JP) court in Texas. The judge made a hometown decision for the plaintiff. I have appealed this decision to the District Court. What is my next step? Can I handle this matter or should I hire a lawyer? How much time do I have, and is a bond necessary?
