Order issued to resume filing deadlines in state’s top courts
Effective Monday, June 8, Administrative Order No. 2020-4 that tolled the filing deadlines in the Michigan Supreme Court and Court of Appeals is rescinded, and the periods for all filings, jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional, in those courts shall resume.
For time periods that started before AO No. 2020-4 took effect, the filers shall have the same number of days to submit their filings on June 8 as they had when the tolling went into effect. For filings with time periods that did not begin to run because of the tolling period, the filers shall have the full periods for filing beginning on June 8.
‘Facilitating Dynamics & Conflicts’ topic of State Bar webinar
The State Bar of Michigan’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Section is hosting its “Facilitating Group Dynamics & Conflicts” webinar on Tuesday, June 23, from noon to 1:30 p.m.
Anyone interested in expanding an ADR practice, or ready to put peacemaking skills to use outside the litigation arena, will learn to facilitate conflict in any group dynamic by learning to assess the root causes, use the appropriate resources, gain participant confidence, establish trust, build effective channels of communication, and coach individuals to engage more constructively.
This practical, nuts-and-bolts program features three experienced and respected group conflict facilitators—Tracy Allen, Barbara Johannessen, and Mike Nowakowski—and is moderated by Sheldon Stark.
Registration can be completed by visiting connect.michbar.org/adr/home.
‘Feisty’ 103-year-old survives virus, celebrates with beer
WILBRAHAM, Mass. (AP) — “Feisty" is the way Shelley Gunn describes her 103-year-old grandmother.
That quality shone through recently when the Massachusetts woman's beloved grandmother, Jennie Stejna, came back from the brink of death to survive a bout with COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus that has ravaged older Americans.
“She always had that feisty fighting spirit,” Gunn, who recently moved to Easton from Washington state, told The Enterprise of Brockton. “She didn’t give up.”
Three weeks ago, Stejna was the first person to test positive for the coronavirus at her nursing home.
The outlook was grim. As Stejna’s condition worsened, Gunn, her husband, Adam, and 4-year-old daughter, Violet, called to say what they thought were their final goodbyes. Gunn thanked Stejna for everything she had done for her. When Adam Gunn asked if Stejna was ready to go to heaven, she replied, “Hell, yes.”
But Gunn got the news last month that Stejna had recovered.
To celebrate, Stejna enjoyed an ice cold beer, something she loved but hadn’t had in a long time, Gunn said.
