John Fay’s purported order to report to duty appeared to be printed on Department of Navy stationery and was signed by a K.R. Meier, without providing his or her rank or office. The record indicates that the trial court was skeptical from the outset as to the authenticity of the document. In this regard, the trial court noted that John Fay had been called for military service on the previous occasions when the case was set to go to trial. Given its suspicions as to the authenticity of the document and the necessity of the previous continuances predicated on John Fay’s military service, the trial court set the motion for hearing and advised John Fay and Robin Farms to produce at the hearing the officer or officers who had ordered John Fay to duty, which they did not do, leaving the court to decide their motion on John Fay’s affidavit and his purported order to report for duty.
