Order Of Protection Dismissed By Judge: ED hired me after she was served by her neighbor for a Petition for Order of Protection. After filing my appearance, I was given permission by the court to request discovery or evidence from the Petitioner. I made my request, received no response and filed a Motion for Sanctions. In my Motion for Sanctions, I requested that the Petitioner be barred or not allowed to introduce any evidence at the hearing. The judge agreed, and without the Petitioner being allowed to introduce any evidence the petition for order of protection was dismissed.
