L.A. Law1986

Victor Sifuentes:
Your Honor, I'd like to move that Ms. Van Owen be disqualified from this trial.

Grace Van Owen:
What?

Judge Jonathan Cramer:
On what grounds?

Victor Sifuentes:
Conflicts-of-Interest, Judge, she personally involved with a member of my firm, and I...

Grace Van Owen:
Give me a break.

Victor Sifuentes:
I didn't think you would pose any conflicts, Your Honor, but I have just learned that Ms. Van Owen has had communications with Mr. Kuzak regarding this case, and I think the interest of justice here...

Grace Van Owen:
I've had no significant communications with Mr. Kuzak concerning this matter, Judge. And Mr. Sifuentes has been fully aware of this relationship long before he took this case. He's simply brought up this motion now so that he could buy extra time while he continues his manhunt for Willie Kosar.

Judge Jonathan Cramer:
Your motion is denied, Mr. Sifuentes.

Victor Sifuentes:
In the alternative then, Your Honor, I would like some time to look for Mr. Kosar, his testimony is certainly vital...

Grace Van Owen:
There is no reasonable expectation that he will ever be found. We've looked for him, too, Judge, he's gone.

Judge Jonathan Cramer:
Do you know where he is, counselor?

Victor Sifuentes:
No, Your Honor, but I think with a little bit of time...

Judge Jonathan Cramer:
Motion denied. See you at 2:00.

[Grace and Victor leaving the Chambers, but Victor have some explanation]

Victor Sifuentes:
Your Honor...

Judge Jonathan Cramer:
That's all.

[And Grace and Victor exited the Chamber of Judge Jonathan Cramer]

Grace Van Owen:
Victor. Victor, you surprised me.

Victor Sifuentes:
Hey, it was worth the shot.
