¶ 5. On July 17, the trial court set a one-hour merits hearing for July 25, 2003. Tenant then filed a motion to continue, asserting that he was still waiting for the court to rule on his motion to dismiss and requesting a chance to do discovery to prepare his counterclaim regarding race discrimination. An affidavit of defendant, attached to the motion, indicated that if the motion to dismiss was denied he was “planning to file an answer with counterclaims regarding racial discrimination.” Tenant is of African and Native American descent, and he claims that landlord harassed him during the tenancy because of his race and treated him differently from other tenants. He also claims that the eviction was motivated by racial discrimination.
