The plaintiff issued a summons against three defendants for payment of US$5,000,000.00. The defendants excepted to the summons, arguing it disclosed no cause of action and was lis pendens. When the matter was set down for hearing of the exception, the plaintiff's counsel sought a postponement, which was dismissed. The plaintiff then withdrew the summons.
