Ex Parte Motion - Denied

Not surprising. Probably Chandana had some Super Secret Stuff she wanted to tell the judge in private. The judge blew her off.

How unsurprising.

No... it is STANDARD PROCEDURE for one side of a trial to file an ex parte application to request ANYTHING of the court... including even the request to bring both side's representation together with the judge to discuss ANYTHING. So, it could have been as simple as a request to admit/deny certain evidence, a request to subpoena anything, a request to have a pre-trial meeting, a request to drop the trial, a request to ask the judge to put her finger on her nose, a request for ANYTHING that the attorney wants. You don't get to just walk into a courthouse, walk into a judge's office and ask the judge for something. There MUST be a paper trail, so you have file an ex parte application... FOR ANYTHING that want from a judge with relation to a trial. That way, the formal request is available for anyone to review in case anything... such the attorney from the other side... wishes to protest, or otherwise revisit the topic.

There does not have to be anything secret. There is no attempt to sway the judge, or keep the opposing side from learning about some special request. The exparte process is specifically there to prevent that, because the court will notify both sides whenever one side makes ANY request.

This also prevents the necessity of having to coordinate three parties (the judge and the two opposing sides of a trial) from being present each time anyone want to request anything. It is a time saver to remove the need for such a ridiculous amount of coordination... and no Janice, judge don't usually dislike (or like) ex parte applications. Judges recognize it as normal part of court process.
