Objections on the Motion for Reconsideration

1. Plaintiffs contended that they NEVER received any notices from this Honorable
Court relative to the scheduled JDRs. The JDRs your honor were scheduled last
March 8 and April 2

February 12- Mediation

March 8- during the mediation last February 12, attorney-in-fact was informed that
the case will be referred to JDR. Moreover, based on the return card, the
___________ received the notice.

April 2- notice was received by counsel as per record.

Your honor, notices received by the counsel are notices to the client. In the absence
of notice of withdrawal or substitution, it is rightly assumed that counsel on record
continues to represent his client. (Francisco vs. Loyola Plans Inc. et.al.)
And based on the records your honor, the counsel has received the notices. It is the
obligation of the counsel to inform her client.

In representation of her client your honor, the counsel should have been present
during that said scheduled JDRs
