Judge in Kubby Hearing has taken case under advisement and will issue
a decision at a later date.
"Considering that this was a routine request to issue a temporary
stay while the court considers our motion, I have lost all remaining
faith in the court system and can only plead with people who hear
about our situation to call, call and call again until those
Ministers who are responsible fix this legal nightmare," said Mrs.

"Phone calls to the Ministers of Immigration, Health, Justice and
Public Safety may be our only hope now," added Mrs. Kubby.
