The preliminary injunction hearing for Traffic Monsoon, originally set for next week, has been postponed by more than a month. Court filings do not explicitly state the reasons for the delay. The postponement came at the request of counsel.

A filing for substitution of counsel on September 14th indicates Charles Scoville may be responsible for the delay. Scoville’s former lawyer, Edwin S. Wall, has withdrawn from the case. D. Loren Washburn of Washburn Law Group, LLC, now represents him. No reason for the withdrawal or the substitution was provided in the court documents.

It is reasonable for Scoville’s new attorney to request more time to prepare a defense. The timing of the lawyer change, just a week before the initial hearing date, remains unclear. The Traffic Monsoon preliminary injunction hearing is now scheduled for November 1st.
