The document is a legal motion filed by the Defendant requesting a continuance of the trial date due to the Plaintiff's recent elective surgery for facial scars resulting from an automobile accident. The Defendant argues that the timing of the surgery, which was not medically necessary, could mislead the jury into believing the Plaintiff's injuries are worse than they actually are, thus affecting the fairness of the trial. The Defendant seeks to ensure that the jury evaluates the true nature of the Plaintiff's injuries after they have healed.
