COMPLAINANT,

v.

Magnolia Home Builder, PLLC,

License No. ROC 322613,

RESPONDENT.

No. 2025A-09796-NPC-ROC

ORDER GRANTING CONTINUANCE

AND SETTING HEARING VIA GOOGLE MEET

The hearing of this matter was initially scheduled to convene on January 13, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. On the date and time set for hearing, Christine Miller appeared on behalf of Respondent. Complainant did not appear, notwithstanding a fifteen minute grace period. Following the grace period, Ms. Miller made a motion to dismiss the Complaint filed in this matter.

On January 13, 2026, at 12:27 p.m., Complainant’s representative, Robert Downs, called the Office of Administrative Hearings to state that “he was not able to attend this hearing because he was stuck in the virtual waiting room.”

Given the circumstances and good cause appearing, the hearing in the above-entitled matter was re-set to March 10, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., via Google Meet.

On the date and time set for this continued hearing, Robert Downs appeared on behalf of Complainant. Respondent did not appear, notwithstanding a fifteen minute grace period. Following the grace period, Mr. Downs presented Complainant’s case.

However, on March 11, 2026, Ms. Miller filed a Motion to Continue that stated the following:

I respectfully request that the hearing be continued and rescheduled due to a genuine calendaring error on my part.

The hearing scheduled for March 10, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. was a rescheduled date that had been awarded to the complainant after they were unable to attend the original January 2026 hearing date. When I received the notice of the rescheduled hearing, I inadvertently recorded the date in my calendar as March 12, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. instead of the correct date of March 10.

As a result of this honest mistake, I unfortunately did not appear for the March 10 hearing. This was not intentional in any way, and I sincerely apologize to the Court and the parties for the oversight.

I have every intention of fully participating in this matter and respectfully request the opportunity to appear and present my position. I believe allowing the matter to be reset would serve the interests of fairness and allow the case to be addressed on its merits.

This request is made in good faith and not for the purpose of delay. I respectfully ask that the Court grant a continuance and reschedule the hearing at the Court’s convenience.

Given the circumstances and good cause appearing, the hearing in the above-entitled matter is continued to April 30, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., and will be conducted either by video conferencing or telephone participation through Google Meet as follows:
