Defendant Governor Eddie Calvo was served the following day on April 14,

2015.

Complaint and the motions for summary judgment and preliminary injunction is 21 days after

service, or May 4 and 5, respectively.

6. During the most of the time since April 13, Defendant Governor Calvo has been

off-island.

able to represent them in these proceedings.

this highly complex and public case.

appointed me as a Special Assistant Attorney General for the purpose of representing Eddie Baza

Calvo, Governor of Guam and Carolyn Garrido, Registrar in the Office of Vital Statistics.
