SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

Tex, Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 10.004(d) does not authorize the award of monetary sanctions against Appellant for an act when Kahn was represented by counsel. Appellant was represented by counsel and any monetary sanctions should be stricken .

Appellant filed Under § 5 1. 903 Because He Was Owner And President Of Helvetia and the filing have evidentiary support and him was not fictitious and should have not been sanctioned for making a legal contention claim of ownership.

Court Did Not Have Authority To Impose Sanctions On Unenforceable Rule 11 Agreement. Court Abused Its Discretion Because It Lacked Jurisdiction To Rule On Ownership Of Stock. 7 ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES BACKGROUND Burton Kahn ("Kahn") ("Appellant") and John Ripley founded the Joabert Development Company ("Joabert") in 2006 to develop and sell housing lots in Northeast San Antonio. Appellant did all the work and John Ripley supplied the funds. John Ripley sold some of his properties in order to supply funds for Joabert. One of these properties was a subdivision named Key Largo, which John Ripley foreclosed on himself. The foreclosed property was sold to a holding corpora ti on named Helvetia As set Recovery, Inc. ( " Helvetia " ).

Appellant' s responsibilities was to purchase properties, secure funds, design subdivisions infrastructure and roadways. construct the design and to do all the necessary paper work including dealing with local authorities. Kahn never got any compensation for the eight years that he worked. Kahn had invested approximately $100, 000 of his own money.

Appellant was selling lots from the subdivision to provide Joabert with construction funds. The relationship ended in August 26, 2013 and Appellant was holding approximately $290,000 of funds slated to go to Joabert. Robert Ripley("Ripley"), John's brother was not a stockholder in Joabert. 5RR 809-810 Ripley wanted to take the Helvetia property for himself. The shares of Helvetia were never purchased and to protect Helvetia/Joabert from Ripley, Appellant

8 purchased the 1000 shares. 5RR408-410 Knowing there was a $1.2 million debt, and the property would go to Joabert like all the other items Appellant purchased. On September 16, 2013, Robert Ripley and John Ripley went to Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union and submitted over 50 pages of documents to the bank to take over Helvetia' s bank account. 5RR 794 John and Robert Ripley were refused access.

On October 23, 2013 Appellee filed a lawsuit 2013-CI-17516, claiming that Puerto Verde Ltd. ("PVL") owned 100% the Helvetia stock. EXHIBIT A. 5RR 314, DF Ex 5 Included in the motion was documentation of Puerto Verde Ltd. 's ownership.

On November 5, 2013 Appellant filed a lawsuit 2013-CI-18394, claiming that Appellant owned 100% the Helvetia stock. EXHIBIT B lCRl, DF Ex 5. Included in the motion was detailed explanations why documentation of 2013-CI- 17516 was a forgery.

At an Injunction Hearing was held on December 9- 11, 2013, Appellant was ordered to place the funds into the registry of the court . A sanction hearing was conducted in March 3 and 4 , 2014 and Appellant was sanctioned for filing a fictitious suit but not his attorney who signed the pleading and for withdrawal of an unenforceable Rule 11 Agreement. (EXHIBIT C Order Final Judgment and Order of Sanctions ) 3CR229

9 ISSUE 1

KAHN CANNOT BE CHARGED MONETARY SANCTION UNDER TEX. CIV,PRAC. &REM CODE§ 10:1004(D)WHEN1HEPARTYIS

REPRESENTATIVE BY COUNSEL

On November 1, 2013 Kahn hired Jay R Petterson as his representative in

the series of lawsuits involving the case EXHIBIT D. On November 3, 2013 Petterson spent 7 hours reviewing documents and preparing Motion For Findings And Conclusions Of Law, review and organize exhibits and statute.

On November 5, 2013 Peterson spent 4 hours reviewing emergency motion for discovery filed by adverse party, prepared final drafts of Motions Findings And Conclusions Of Law and travel to and from court. Peterson signed the Motion and had an Ex Parte hearing with Hon. Judge John D Gabriel, who signed order.

EXHIBITB

The employment contract (EXHIBIT D) between Kahn, and Peterson shows Kahn as Client and Petterson as the attorney. The motion for § 51. 903 is outlined in the statute EXHIBIT E . " Movant further acknowledges that movant may be subject to sanctions as provided by Chapter 10 Civil Practice And Remedies Code, if this motion is determined to the frivolous." In Nath V Texas Children's Hospital And Baylor College Of Medicine, 12-0620 (Tex. 8-29-2014) states:

10 However, Chapter I 0 provides that a claim that lacks a legal or factual basis - without more - is sanctionable. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE§ I 0.001 ; see also Low, 221 S.W.3d at 617. Legally, the claim must be warranted by existing law or a nonfrivolous argument to change existing law. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 10.001 (2). But Chapter 10 expressly prohibits monetary sanctions against a represented party based on the legal contentions in a pleading. Id. § I 0.004( d) ("The court may not award monetary sanctions against a represented party for a violation of Section 10.001(2). "). Accordingly, the trial court could not have properly awarded sanctions against Nath for groundless legal contentions in his tortuous interference claim.

Chapter I 0 requires that each factual contention must have evidentiary support or be likely to receive it after a reasonable opportunity for discovery. Id. § 10.001(3); Low v. Henry, 221 S.W.3d at 616-17.

InSwanbergv. Swanberg, 01-12-00375-cv(Tex.App.-Houston [I st Dist.] 8-22-2013) States "But section 10.004(d) specifically provides that "[t]he court may not award monetary sanctions against a represented party for a violation of Section I 0.001 (2)." Id.§ 10.004(d); see also Benavides v. Knapp Chevrolet, Inc., No. 01-08-00212-CV, 2009 WL 349813, at *5 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 12, 2009, no pet.) (overturning sanctions award under chapter I 0 when trial court's monetary sanctions "could only have been based on section 10.001(2)"). Because the order awarded sanctions based on a violation of section 10.001(2) and Mark was represented by counsel when he filed his petition, the monetary award against him was a violation of section 10.004(d).

In Gomer v. Davis, 419 S.W.3d 470 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2013) 11 states: Section 10.004(d), however, provides that the trial court "may not award monetary sanctions against a represented party for a violation of Section 10.001(2)." TEX. Civ. PRAC. & REMCODE ANN.§ 10.004(d) (Vernon 2002). Here, the trial court imposed $5,000 in sanctions against Gomer, a represented party. Under these facts, therefore, section 10.001(2) cannot support this sanctions award against Gomer, although Gomer's attorney may be sanctioned under this section. See Univ. of Tex. at Arlington v. Bishop, 997 S.W.2d 350, 357 (Tex.App. Fort Worth 1999, pet. denied)~ see also Loeffler v. Lytle Indep. Sch. Dist., 211 S.W.3d 331, 349-50 (Tex.App. San Antonio 2006, pet. denied) (holding that because attorney decides which legal claims to file and party provides, at most, factual basis for claims, party "should not be punished for their attorney's conduct unless the party is implicated apart from having entrusted its legal representation, and trial court abused its discretion in sanctioning party under Chapter 10).

In this case Appellant's only action was the claiming of his property. Each allegation in 2013-CI-18394 was supported by a nonfrivolous argument. The injunction hearing of December 9 - 11 , 2013 showed that the statement of facts and all the allegations made in the motion were true. Petterson did all the necessary investigations. George had no final say in the motion and was too ill to participate. George was also a represented party as stated in the Appellee's First Amended Motion for Sanctions 2CR 135 That is the reason why he recommended Goodman who then recommended Petterson.

CONCLUSION ISSUE 1

12 Based on above, the trial court abused its discretion by sanctioning Appellant who was represented by attorney, Peterson. ISSUE 2 2 .. KAHN FILED UNDER THE § 5 1.903 BECAUSE HE WAS OWNER AND PRESIDENT OF HELVETIA KAHN'S FILING UNDER §51 903 IS NOT SANCTIONABLE The shares of Helvetia were never purchased and to protect Helvetia/Joabert

from Ripley, Appellant purchased the 1000 shares. EXHIBIT H 5RR 93 PL Ex 4. Appellant was president and director of Helvetia according the Secretary of State except for the period from September 20, 2013 to October 4, 2013.SRR 41-64 The issue in the dispute is who owns the shares of Helvetia.

STOCK CERTIFICATE

Robert Ripley claims that he purchased the shares for Helvetia from Moore on August 20, 2007. 5RR 327 EHIBIT G, DF Ex.4 His claim is based on the stock certificate. 5RR 796 Ripley claims that he did not have correct form of certificate 5RR 10, 5RR 68 so he made one on his computer 5RR 743 and did not contact George the originator and attorney of Helvetia. 5RR 536,738 Ripley who was in Canada then faxed the blank certificate which he had just created to his brother John in San Antonio. 5RR 743 There are no fax documentation on the certificate 1 similar to the fax sent by Appellee to Secretary of State .. 5RR 300,

13 5RR 354 Ripley then claims that he was faxed back the certificate after Moore signed the certificate but does not have a copy. 5RR 801 Again there are no fax documentation marks on the certificate. Moore testified that he did not issue any stock. 5RR 501 Moore testified that he did not get any money. 5RR 503 Moore testified that two of the three signatures on his but not the third signature. 5RR 509 Moore testified that he was not the custodian of records which the stock certificate stated he was. 5RR 504 .

The name on the site certificate is Puerto Verde Inc, yet Ripley is claiming that the owner is Puerto Verde Ltd. To sum up the testimony at this juncture of the testimony and documentation of the stock certificate: Ripley claimed that he faxed without faxed documentation on the form that was not according to the official minutes to his brother John Ripley who had Moore sign and issue the certificate that Moore claimed he never issued. The certificate had a third signature which was not Moore's.

EXHIBIT F.

Ripley claims that he received a receipt from the title company $1.2 million and payment of $1,000 for shares in a Hold co on September 17, 2007 5RR394 EXHIBIT F, PL Ex.21 Although the receipt states Hold Co Ripley meant Helvetia. This receipt is only written on a Tile Company memo of August 21,

14 2013. It does not state who received it. If it is wiring instructions why would the title company give a receipt?. Who in the title company gave this receipt?

When EXHIBIT F was submitted to the Court it was objected by Appellant on the grounds of hearsay and authenticity. Afterward Appellee's attorney asked "this is your handwriting. Right? Answer "That is my handwriting. The court then admitted the document. 5RR 687 This document was written on the Land America Lawyers Title Company of San Antonio ("Title company") s email on August 21, 2007 and the document was handwritten on September 17, 2007. The self serving handwriting, does not make the document authentic ..

In Conner v, Johnson, 02-03-31 6-cv (Tex App -Ft Worth 10-28-.2004) "The facts: stated :should not be. self-serving. Travelers Companies. v. Wolfe 838 S.W.2d 708, 714 (citing Duncan v Smith, 393 SW 2d 798, 80304 (Tex. 1 965)) (holding that not only should the statement be against interest but also that the "facts stated" should be against interest because that increases the. likelihood of its truth)

This document EXHIBIT F is completely self -serving and should not have been admitted and the Court abused its discretion by allowing EXHIBIT F to be in evidence and has caused an improper judgment of the Temporary Injunction. Hearing of December 9-11,2013 and this Final judgment and Sanction Order.

15 The document EXHIBIT F was not presented in 2013-Cl-17516 as a exhibit to show Ownership. Ownership was questioned by Robert Ripley in a email dated February 8, 2008 .5RR573 The Banker Scott Morrison, 5RR 705 who issued the $1.2 million transfer on September 17, 2007 but on October 22, 2007 did not have any documentation as to the ownership of the stock of Helvetia . 5RR 704-705. If Morrison did not have any documentation , then Morrison did not get EXHIBIT F. Robert Ripley testified that the funds came from the Ripley family trust.5RR571,

It EXHIBIT F is proof of ownership, then the stock certificate mentioned above must be of forgery. There was only 1000 shares available so there can be only one sale.

In Solano v. Landamerica Commw., 02-07-152-cv (Tex.App.-Ft. Worth 12-4-2008) states: If a person signs another's name to a document with authority to do so, there is no forgery. See In re Estate of Flores, 76 S.W.3d 624, 630 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 2002, no pet.) (explaining that "forgery is defined as altering, making, completing, executing, or authenticating a writing so that it purports to be the act of another who did not authorize that act"); First Coppell Bank v. Smith, 742 S.W.2d 454, 460 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1987, no writ), overruled on other grounds, Fortune Prod. Co. v. Conoco, Inc., 52 S.W.3d 671 , 678 (Tex. 2000) (concluding that forgery was established because the witness testified "unequivocally that she did not authorize anyone to sign her name to the deed of trust");

16 In this case the stock certificate was altered by placing a signature that was Moore's and thus is a forgery.

MINUTES OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING

In order to get the minutes to correct the Inc. or Ltd. suffixes,, Ripley submitted to the court Exhibit 39 EXHIBIT J which he called a kit. Ripley claimed that was provided by Mr. Terry George. 5RR735 George testified that he never provided any copies to anyone but Burt Kahn. 5RR 544 George testified that Exhibit 39 EXHIBIT J was not his work. 5RR 549,--5RR 557 Exhibit 39 EXHIBIT J was comprised of an instructional transmittal letter, By Laws and the initial meeting minutes of August 8, 2,007. The transmittal does not have any information on who has sent it nor a signature but it does state to review and call if there are any changes. 5RR 851-882 The By Laws and initial minutes have George's signature on dated August 8, 2007 as if to make these documents final. George testified that the signatures looked like his but the documents were not the documents George gave to Kahn. 5RR 548 The shares to be issued to Puerto Verde, Inc. 1000. is written in pencil. 5RR 553 Also per August 8, 2007 minutes state that George resigned on August 8, 2007. Robert testified that he received Exhibit 39 EXHIBIT J by courier in Canada but does not have any envelope that it came in. 5RR 738 Ripley testified that this document was specially flown in to San Antonio from Canada for the injunction hearing. 5RR 711 The bylaws state

17 in pencil the offices to be 6751 Walzem which is different from the minutes of August 17, 2007 which has George' s address. 5RR 393

QUESTIONS FROM EVIDENCE PRESENTED

1. What was the date that Puerto Verde Ltd purchased the stock? a)Was it on August 20, 2007, on the certificate form signed by Moore who never received any funds and never issued stock and was never a custodian of records and who did not sign the third signature on the certificate that was faxed without fax markings?

b) Was the date September 1 7, 2007 the wiring instructions from Morrison who never knew of the transfer instructions and from the funds of the Ripley Family Trust and not from Puerto Verde Ltd. ' s Bank account. 2. Who purchased the stock of Helvetia?

a) Was the purchase on August 20, 2007, Puerto Verde Inc or Puerto Verde Ltd? b) Was the purchase on September 1 7, 2007 Puerto Verde Inc or Ltd ? c) Was the purchase on September 1 7,, 2007 Stock was not for Helvetia but for Hold Co d) On September 17, 2007 the transfer funds came from the Ripley Family Trust per testimony of Ripley, 5RR 571 Is the owner of the shares per the handwritten note, the Ripley Family Trust?

18 e) There are no bank statements for these transfers. Who did them? 3. What is the date of the minutes of the organizational of Helvetia? a) Was the date on August 17, 2007, as per Case No 2013-CI-17516 or August 8, 2007 per Exhibit 39 EXHIBIT J? b) Was the date per Organizer, attorney George or was it according to the specially flown in to the hearing document with blanks and penciled fill ins?

The maneuvers of Appellee show that a conspiracy occurred and that there is a great deal of perjury in regards to the ownership of the stock of Helvetia. Appellant requests that this Appellate Court inform the District Attorney of Bexar County to investigate the possibility of Subornation of Perjury by Werner A, Powers and Lisa S. Barkley.

CONCLUSION ISSUE 2

Based on the evidence presented and in the questions that have arisen from this evidence establishes that Petterson did not file a frivolous motion because he had evidentiary support for each allegation.

ISSUE 3

3 Court Did Not Have Authority To Impose Sanctions On Unenforceable Rule 11 Agreement The trial court Judge Tanner imposed Sanctions on Appellant. April 1, 2014. Court Order 1 .... based, on the attempted withdrawal of the unauthorized Rule 19 I !Agreement. 3CR 229 At the Injunction. hearing on December: 9,, 2013 to December 11, 2013 the issue to enforce the Rule 11 Agreement was brought to the court, Judge Pozza stated . ".Well I am not. sure ..... You can brief it if you like, but I'm not sure the Court can enforce the Rule 11 Agreement, because it does not seem that Mr. Kahn perhaps either never consented. or withdrew his consent"' Thus Judge Pozza ruled orally that without a motion or a briefing she could, not enforce the Rule 11 Agreement. There was never any further motions or briefing. In InRe Guerrero, 440 S.W.3d 917 (Tex.App.-Amarillo-2014)

Rendition of judgment is the pronouncement by the court of its conclusions and decision upon the matter submitted to it for adjudication. Buffalo Bag Co. v. Joachim, 704 SW 2d 482, 483 (re App -Houston [1 4

th Dist 11986, writ refd nre.). A trial court .renders judgment when it officially announces its decision either orally in open court or by a memorandum filed with the clerk of the court CometAluminum Co v Dibrell, 450 S W 2d 56, 58 (Tex 1970) ( ong proceeding) If a trial court's order is adequately reflected in the reporter's record, a formal written order is not essential to obtaining mandamus relief

Prior to any additional motions or briefs the Court had stated it was "not sure". This is defined as reasonable doubt, Ex Parte Preston, 833 8W.24 515 (Tex.Cr.App. I 992). The issues were decided not to enforce the Rule 11 Agreement at that time unless subsequenf Action was done to further litigate the validity of the Rule 11 Agreement. No subsequent action occurred and therefore the Court could not enforce the Rule 11 Agreement. This makes the Rule 11

20 Agreement unenforceable. With no subsequent action the Rule 11 Agreement was fully litigated and collaterally, estoppel will prevent the Rule 11 Agreement from any other action.

Kahn did not review the Rule 11 Agreement prior to it being signed by Petterson. The employment. contract (EXHIBIT D) 5RR 284-291 between Kahn and Peterson states on page 3 that "it is the attorney's responsibility to advise you on legal ramifications of the decisions but-you must make. the actual decisions" Kahn did not make that decision to sign away I 00% of Appellant' s work that he had done and get 0% back When Kahn realized that Petterson had signed away Kahn's rights including a jury trial Kahn fired. Petterson. 55RR 464 The withdrawal of the rule 1.1 agreement is a Contract RIGHT. In Gym-N-1 Playgrounds v. Snider, 220 S.W. 3d 905 (Tex. 2007)

Texas strongly favors parties freedom of contract BMG Direct Mktg.,Inc.v. Peake, 178 S.W.3d 7763 ,767 (Texas 2005)

In Burnaman v. Heaton , 150 Tex. 333 (1951)240 S.W.2d 288 " The judgment was rendered on the agreement of the attorneys and was therefore a consent judgment. 25 Tex.Jur., p. 385, et seq.; 49 C.J.S., Judgments, § 173, page 308, et seq. A valid consent judgment cannot be rendered by a court when consent of one of the parties thereto is wanting. "

This sentiment is echoed in many cases: In City of Roanoke v. T. ofWestlnke, 111 S.W.3d 617 (Tex.App.-Ft. Worth2003)

.9 21

"We agree that an attorney retained for litigation is presumed to possess authority to enter into a settlement on behalf of a client. Williams v. Nolan, 58 Tex. 708, 713-14 (1883); Walden v Sanger, 250 S.W.2d 312, 316; Dunlnp v. Villareal, 91 S.W.2d 1124, 1125 (Tex.Civ.App.-San Antonio 1936, no writ). This is a presumption of actual authority, however, and may be rebutted by affirmative proof that the client did not authorize his attorney to enter into the settlement. Walden, 250 S.W.2d at 316; Johnson v. Rancho Guadalupe, inc., 789 S.W.2d 596, 598 (Tex. App. - Texarkana 1990, writ denied) (op. on rehg) (noting that there is no implied authority for an attorney to release the very right or interest he is employed to protect); Fail v. Lee, 535 S.W.2d 203, 207-08 (Tex. Civ.App. -Fort Worth 1976, no writ)"

InJohnson v. Rancho Guadalupe Inc., 789 S.W.2d 596(Tex.App.-Texarkana1 990) An attorney is a special agent and is presumed to have authority to act for, and institute legal proceedings in behalf of any person whom he professes to represent. Slattery v. Adams, 279 S.W.2d 445 (Tex.Civ.App. - Beaumont 1954), affirmed, 156 Tex. 433, 295 S.W.2d 859 (1956). However, there is no implied authority for an attorney to release the very right in interest he has been employed to secure and protect. Cetti v. Dunman, 26 Tex. Civ. App. 433 [26 Tex. Civ. App. 433], 64 S.W. 787 (1901, writ refd). By virtue of his employment, an attorney does not have an implied power to compromise an action which he has been engaged to defend. Early v. Bums, 142 S.W.2d 260 (Tex.Civ.App. - Beaumont 1940, writ refd). A compromise by an attorney without his clients knowledge or consent, which has the effect of depriving the client of his day in court, is an unauthorized act. Pierce v. Terra Mar Consultants, inc., 566 S.W.2d 49 (Tex.Civ.App. - Texarkana 1978, writ dismd). Where a substantial right has been violated by the attorneys entering into an unauthorized compromise agreement, a judgment based thereon will be set aside. McMillan v. McMillan, 72 S.W.2d 611 (Tex.Civ.App. - Dallas 1934, no writ).

22

CONCLUSION ISSUE 3

Thus Appellant had a right to withdraw from the Rule 11 Agreement and it was an abuse of discretion for the Court to make an arbitrary and unreasonable order.

ISSUE 4

Ruling on ownership was not set for the Sanction Hearing. The Courts first statement twas " So we're not on the merits today? 2RR 5

The court stated on the issue of who owns the stock, "Well that's a subject of a different type of motion that is the one right now. But you're certainly welcome to urge that to some court when you file a proper motion. " 3RR 20.

Thus the court declared that the ownership of the stock was not in her subject matter jurisdiction at the hearing. In Entergy Corp. v. Jenkins, 01-12-00470-cv (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 11-6-2014) states: "Subject matter jurisdiction is 'essential to a court's power to decide a case."' City of Houston v. Rhule, 417 S.W.3d 440, 442 (Tex. 2013) (per curiam) (quoting Bland Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Blue, 34 S.W.3d 547, 553-54 (Tex. 2000)). "Without jurisdiction the court cannot proceed at all in any cause~ it may not assume jurisdiction for the purpose of deciding the merits of the case." Fin. Comm'n ofTex. v. Norwood, 418 S.W.3d 566, 578 (Tex. 2013) (quoting Sinochem Int'l Co. v. Malaysia Int'l Shipping Corp., 549 U.S. 422, 431, 127 S.Ct. 1184, 1191 (2007) ). "The failure of a jurisdictional requirement deprives the court of the power to act (other than to

11 23

determine that is has no jurisdiction), and ever to have acted, as a matter of law. ^[11] City of DeSoto v. White, 288 S.W.3d 359, 393 (Tex. 2009) (quoting Univ. ofTex. Sw. Med. Ctr. v. Loutzenhiser, 140 S.W.3d 351, 359 (Tex. 2004)). Thus, ^[11] [a] judgment is void if rendered by a court without subject matter jurisdiction. ^[11] In re United Servs. Auto. Ass'n, 307 S.W.3d 299, 309 (Tex. 2010) (orig. proceeding). ^[11] [N]ot only may an issue of subject matter jurisdiction 'be raised for the first time on appeal by the parties or by the court', a court is obliged to ascertain that subject matter jurisdiction exists regardless of whether the parties questioned it. ^[11] Id. at 306 (quoting Loutzenhiser, 140 S.W.3d at 358) (emphasis in original)~ City of Allen v. Pub. Util. Comm'n of Tex., 161 S.W.3d 195, 199 (Tex.App.-Austin 2005, no pet.) ("[T]he question of jurisdiction is fundamental and can be raised at any time in the trial of a case or on appeal. ^[11]

) .

CONCLUSION ISSUE 4

By the Courts statement it had no jurisdiction to determine ownership at the hearing. Thus the Sanction Order is void.

CONCLUSION

This Appellate Court should reverse the Final Judgment and Sanctions Order based on Tex, Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 10.004(d) does not authorize the award of monetary sanctions against Appellant for an act when Kahn was represented by counsel. Appellant was represented by counsel and any monetary sanctions should be stricken .

24 This Appellate Court should reverse the Final Judgment and Sanctions Order based on Appellant' s filing under § 5 1.903 because all the allegations had evidentiary support and was not fictitious.

This Appellate Court should reverse the Final Judgment and Sanctions Order based on court did not have authority to impose sanctions on the withdrawal of an unenforceable Rule 11 Agreement.

Questioned Document Examiner Letter Subject: K~nneth E. Moore Date: September 27,20lp

I have exami~~4 three (3) documents with the known signatures of Kenneth E. Moore. For the pw pose of lhls· examluation I have labeled these e.xhibits "K 1 •' and "K2". Today I have compared the signatures of Kenneth E. Moore on the "K" documents to the Kenneth E. Moore signatures on the questioned document, identified herein ss "Q l" to detennine if the author of the Kenneth E. Moore signatures on tb.e "K" documents was the same

.,, . person who. aµthored the name of Kenneth E. Moore on the questioned document: A certificate · for 1000 shares for Helvetia Asset Reeovecy Ine. dat.ed August 20, 2007 and purportedly signed by Kenneth E.Moore. An examination of handwriting includes establisl1ing patterns of writing habits to help identify the author. Handwri'fing i!.l formed by repeated habits of writing by the author, which are created by neuro-pathways established in the brain. These nellfO.pathways control muscular and nerve movement for wriung whether the wTiting is executed by the hand, foot, or mouth. .. In support of my opinion, I ba:ve included an exceipt from Handwriting Iderztjflcation, Facts and Fundamentals by 'Roy A. Huber and AM. Headrick (CRC Press LLC.1999, pp S0-51) wherein the l~ing forefathers of document examination in the USA agree that one significant difference in the fundamental structure of a wtl1ing compared to an.other is enough to preclude comnton authOrship:

[Ordway] Hilton stated: C<Jt is a basic axiom ofidentificati-0n in document problems that a limi~d number of basic differences, even in the face of numerous strong Similarities, . are con~olling and.accurately estabHsh nonidentity." {Wi·l:so}.\:R.] I:Iamoon made similar comt'n&\ts: '' ... the fundamental rule which admits of no exc~ption wben handwritings are being compared .. .is simple -whatever features two specim~s of handwriting may have in common, tlley cannot be considered t.o ~~ of CQmniOO. authorship if they display but a single c00sistent dissimilarity in any ~eature which .is fundamental to the structure of the handwriting, and- whose presence is not ~able of reasenable explana1ion."

Exhibit M .. IJames VJ>.} Conway expressed the same theme when he wrote: «A series of fundamental agreements ~ jdentifying individualities is requisite to the concluSioa that two writings were \•author«J by the same. person, whereas a &ingle iimdomental difference in. an. identify.Qlg indhiiduality between two writings precludes the conclusion that they were exeeu.ieiJ. by the same,p~on." ·· ·

t .,. and finally;'· [A1bert S.] Osbdm and others have generally·agrecd that despite numerous- similarities in two sets.·of wi'itings, a conclusi9n of identity cannot be made if there is 0ne or mo~ differences in fundamental features of the writi11gs.

Based upon thorough analysis of these items and' from an application of accepted forensic do~ument examination tool!;, principles and .. techniques, it is my professi.ona! expert opinion that a different person authored 1he name of Kenneth E. Moore on the questioned document. Someone did indeed fo~e the signature of' Kenneth E. Moore on the gueslioned document,

"Q1:·.

I am .willing to ·testify to this fact fo a court of law and r will. ,Provide exbibits to the Court

3. As described in more detail in this Judgment and Order, the Court finds that Mr. Kahn and Mr. George committed a fraud on the court and on the Movants for the malicious purposes of claiming ownership by Kahn of Helvetia, and of clouding legal title to land owned by Helvetia and sold by Helvetia to a bono fide purchaser for value. One day before the Respondents filed and presented the Ex Parle Motion, Helvetia had :fi]ed a Petition and Application for Temporary Restraining Order in Cause No. 2013-CI-18355 seeking to enjoin Mr. Kahn from interfering with Helvetia's business or holding himself out as an authorized representative of Helvetia. agreement. 11

He emptied Helvetia's bank accounts, transferring approximately $300,000 21 into other bank accounts personally owned by Mr. Kahn or his companies. 22 He then issued to himself on September?, 2013. a stock certificate for 1,000 share$ of Helvetia common stock a11d purported to cancel Helvetia's 2007 offer to sell its stock to Puerto Verde. 23 Next Mr. Kahn signed and filed a warranty deed in the name of Helvetia that purported to convey the entire Key 'Largo subdivision to Patadiv Corporation ("Paradiv"), a corporation newly formed by

13. Mr. Kahn knew Puerto Verde purchased Helvetia's stock in 2007, and he knew that Puerto Verde's capita] contribution enabled Helvetia to·acquire the Key Largo subdivision. Both Mr. Kahn and Mr. George had personal knowledge that Helvetia issued its stock to Puerto Verde in 2007. They both actively participated in HeJvetia's incorpmation. 47 Helvetia hired validity of a signature by an <?fficer of a corporation. Mr. Moore confirmed his signature at the temporary injunction hearing. 53 Mr. Kahn failed to contact Mr. Moore who, like Mr. Kahn, lives in San Antonio, to ask him if his signature was valid. 54 Instead, Mr. Kahn used the internet to locate ~nd interview a handwriting expert, Curtis Baggett ("Mr. Baggett"). 55 Mr. Kahn secured and attached a report by Mr. Baggett to the Ex Parte Motion opining that Mr. Moore's signature

Mr_ Baggett from testifying as a handwriting expert witness after finding multiple severe deficiencies with his expertise and analysis. 60 but he took no steps to investigate Mr. Baggett or his background. 63

For these factual and legal reasons, and others already stated, the Court gives no 18. weight to Mr. Kahn,s persistence that forged or fraudulent documents allowed him to buy Helvetia's stock. Mr. Kahn's additional complaints about the incorporation of Helvetia in 2007 that he claims entitled him to buy its stock in 2013 also fail, as foJlows.

FINAL J Uf)GMENT AND ORDER OF SANCTIONS Page 10 of29 19, Mr. Kahn's claim that Puerto Verde did not pay $1,000 to buy the l,000 shares of HeJvetia's stock is meritJess. ^[64] A company that pays $1.2 million to capitalize a corporation has by definition used the first $1,000 of the investment to buy the capital stock, as expressly provided for by HeJvetia's organizational minutes. ^[65] In HeJvetia's 2012 tax return, signed by Mr. Kahn, Fuerto Verde's investment is accounted for as purchasing Helvetia's capital stock for $1,000, with the remainder of the investment treated by Helvetia as additional paid in capital. 66 Bearing on Mr. Kahn's credibility, Mr. Kahn claimed in Helvetia's 2012 tax: return to own alJ of Helvetia's stock as ea1·ly as 2012, even though he swore before this Court that he purchased the stock in September 2013, and that nobody owned Helvetia's stock before that time. 67

20. Mr. Kahn's alternative claim that Puerto Verde's $1.2 million investment was a "Joan," and not capitalization of Helvetia, ]s baseless. Helvetia's tax return shows that Helvetia owes no loan or liabi1ity of any nature. 68 Further, Mr. Kahn could not identify any promissory note, deed of trust, or any other typical indicia of indebtedness to support his allegation. 69 In fact, closing documents on Helvetia's purchase of the Key Largo rea] estate reflect there was no debt. 70

28. On November 22, 2013, Mr. Kahn fired Mr. Petterson and Ms. Goodman and substituted himself as counsel pro se.e ^[7] Mr. Kahn refused to execute the documents prepared by Helvetia to effectuate the Rule 11 agreement Mr. Kahn has since asserted in pleadings and testimony that Helvetia's lawyers either bribed or coerced his lawyers into signing the Rule 11 Agreement. 88 . Though Mr. Kahn claims he did not expressly authorize the signing of the Rule 11 Agreement, the. Court finds no evidence that his attorneys lacked implied or apparent authority to sign the Rule 11 agreement. The Court finds no evidence to support the claim that opposing counsel bribed or coerced Mr. Kahn's counsel into signing the Rule 11 agreement.

29. Mr. Kahn created additional delay when he appeared at the resetting of Helvetia' s Emergency Motion, and its Motion to Enforce Rule 11 Agreement, on November 26, 2013 with two new 1awyers, seeking a continuance. Judge Peter Sakai granted a continuance, but also entered a TRO restraining Mr. Kahn from taking any actions on behalf of either Helvetia or Paradiv, and setting the hearing on the temporary injunction for December 6, 2013. Judge Sakai found in the TRO that further attempts by Mr. Kahn to claim title to Hclvctin's properties and

37. Rule 13 pennits the trial court to impose sanctions on attorneys or parties who file a "fictitious pleading" or "make statements in pleading which they know to be groundless and false." After notice aud hei:tfing, llu::: Lrial courl "shall impose an appropriate sanction" available under Rule 215. TEX. R Crv. P. 13.

38. Sanctions available under Rule 215.2(b) include attorney's fees. See TEX. R. Civ. P. 13, 2 l 5.2(b). Sanctions awarded as attorney's fees fall within the sound discretion of the Court. Olibas v. Gomez, 242 S.W.3d 527, 535 (Tex. App.-El Paso 2007, pet. denied); Glass v. Glass, 826 S.W.2d 683, 688 (Tex. App.-Texarkana 1992, writ denied) (citjng Brantley v. Etter, 677 S.W.2d 503, 504 (Tex. 1984)). In detennining whether sanctions are appropriate, the trial court examines the

Page 19 of29 FINAL JUDGMENT Al>iD ORDER 01' SANCTIONS 41. The Court has mad~ the necessary factual determinations about the motives and credibility of Mr. Kahn. The Court finds that sanctions against Mr. Kahn are appropriate under Rule 13. The Court is precluded from sanctioning Mr. George under a literal reading of this Rule because his associate attorney, not Mr. George, signed the Ex Parte Motion. Yuen v. Gerson, 342 S.W.3J 824 (Tt:x. App. - Hou:ston [14 ^[1] h Dist.] 2011, pet. denied).

42. Helvetia has not sought sanctions against the associate attorney, Mr. Petterson. Although Mr. Petterson signed the offending pleading, Mr. Petterson attempted to rectify the error within ten days by entering into the Rule 11 Agreemt:nt. B. The Ex Parle Motion Wa..11 a Fictitious Pleading And is Groundless.

43. The Court finds that the Ex Parle Motion was a fictitious pleading and groundless, and that it was brought both in bad faith and for harassment. The Ex Parle Motion has no basis in law or fact, and is not warranted by good faith argument for the extension,

i modification, or reversal of existing la~.!f 6 Mr. Kahn filed the pleading maliciously without any basjs in fact or law. 97 Mr. Kahn also filed it as an experiment to obtain an opinion of Helvetia ownership that he could then use to bolster his egregious ownership arguments in this matter.

44. The Court has assessed Mr. Kahn's credibility along with the evidence presented, and find~ there is not a scintilla of evidence that Mr. Kahn owns Helvetia's stock, and thus finds the Ex Parte Motion meritless. The Court finds that Mr. Kahn has used this false allegation for improper purposes, and thus finds good cause in assessing sanctions as further particularized herein. His wrongful cli!ims nf ownerships were a.t the genesis of all of the proceedings herein, and spawned the litigation between the parties, unnecessarily causing Helvetia to incur

.1 substantial fees and expenses. 96 RR<l, p. 93-95. ^[97] RR-3, pp. JOI. Page 20 of29 FINAL JUDGMENT AND ORDER OF Sl\NCTIONS

45. By claiming Mr. Kahn owned the property owner, and thus had standing to bring an action under § 51.903 of the Texas Government Code, Mr. Kahn and Mr. George made factual contentions that lacked any legal or evidentiary support. The claim of a forged stock certificate was factually bogus and legally irrelevant.

46. Tht: fu Purle Motidn alsu exceeded lhe ~cope of§§ 51.901 and 51.903 of the Texas Government Code by seeking and obtaining extraneous findings as discussed herein. 47. Mr. Kahn appears to challenge the Court's findings based on either the United States Constitution or the Texais Con:stitution. Although not clearly articulated, his challenges are not relevant here because the Court has based its findings on non-constitutional grounds. 98 C. The Ex Parte Motion was Filed In Bad Faith and for Harassment.

48. The Court finds that bad faith was demonstrated in that there was a conscious dojng of a wrong for a dishonest or malicious purpose. The Ex Parte Motion constituted harassment in that it was intended to annoy, alarm, and abuse another person. The Court finds

:· that the .Ex Parle Motion was filed:' a. To avoid the probable and imminent entry of a TRO against Mr. Kahn; b. To maHciously '"cloud the title>' of the six lots, and thus to i11terfere and harm

Helvetia's business by Mr. Kahn's c1aim that he owned property that Helvetia had already sold to builders; To chill Helvetia's future sales of property, as Mr. Kahn acknowledged he knew

d. To attempt to extort revenues earned by Helvetia after it had terminated Mr. Kahn's employment; e. To retaliate or .. get even" against his fonner employer. 49. Mr. Kahn acted with duplicity, defrauding the Court as shown herein, and

defrauding HeJvetia. 99 50. The timing of Mr. Kahn's filing of the Ex Parte Motion also shows bad faith and filing for an improper purpose. : Email exchanges show that Helvetia sued Mr. Kahn on November 4, 2013 for various torts and injunctive relief, and were attempting to coordinate with Mr. George a time to present to the Court Helvetia's application for a. temporary restraining order. 100 These types of games with the Court and opposing counsel go to the Court's core functions, and subject Mr. Kahn and Mr. George to sanctions under the Court's inherent power to control litigants.

51. Mr. Kahn's pleadings and conduct demonstrate delay when he avoided the hearing to set aside the Ex Parte Order by agreeing to, and later reneging, on the Rule 11 efforts he took to keep his fraudulent claim intact on the six lots, through the date Judge Pozza set it aside on December 8, 2013. Moreover, by failing to release the fraudulent lien after demand was made by Helvetia, the Court may presume Mr. Kahn had the intent to harm and defraud Helvetia and others. Mr. Kahn claims he rightfully reneged on the Rule 11 Agreement, but by doing so he refused Helvetia's demand to release the lien, thus giving rise to such a presumption of intent. rn 2

Page 25 of29 FINAL JUDGMENT AND ORDER OF SANCTIONS Court's Inherent Power to Sanctions E. The Court has inherent power to impose sanctions. Assessing sanctions under

62. this inherent power involves a two-step process: (1) the Court should rely upon the rules and statutes expressly authorizing sanctions whenever possible, and (2) the Court, applying its inherent power to impose sanctions, must make factual findings, based on evidence, that the conduct complained of significantly interfered with the Court's legitimate exerdse of its core functions. Inherent power to sanction exists where necessary to deter, alleviate, and counteract bad faith abuse of the judicial process, such as any significant intcrforcncc with the traditional core functions of the Court. Core functions include hearing evidence, deciding issues of fact raised by the pleadings, deciding questions of law, rendering final judgments and enforcing judgments. Core functions also include management of its docket and the issuance and enforcement of its orders. The CoUrt "may issue orders and, when it deems appropriate, vacate, rescind, or modify those orders. Lawyers and the litigants do not have such authority." 105 By doing so they effectively usurp the Court's role and displace the Court as the decision-maker,

-' thus interfering with a core functiort of the Court. For reasons and findings previously discussed, sanctions are appropriate against 63. both Defendants under this Court~s inherent powers. Their Ex Parte Motion and ex parte hearing interfered with most of the Court's core functions. They submitted evidence not allowed by § 51.903; they made arguments and submitted an improper order under§ 51.903 that affected the Court's decision-making; and they omitted &,_closing to the Court prior proceedings detrimental to their legal position. Mr. Kahn also ignored the Court's setting aside of the Ex Parte Order, thus attempting to usurp the Court's role, by continuing to assert the same grounds that were 1.:unlained in the order that had been set aside.

64. Both Mr. Kahn and Mr. George are culpable for the groundless Ex Parle Motion, and their allegations that Mr. Kahn reasonably could have purchased any asset valued over $1,000,000 for $1,000. The pleading i:s based i;olely un Mr. Kahn'~ alleg'1tiou:s lhat Helvetia had never issued its stock to Puerto Verde, thereby al1owing him to buy the company, worth over $1 million, for $1,000, and only days after the company had tenninatcd him for misconduct. Both Mr. Kahn and Mr. George participated in the 2007 incorporation of Helvetia, and Mr; Kahn additionally participated in the transaction by which Puerto Verde wired $1.2 million in cash to capitalize Helvetia. Mr. George was the incorporator for Helvetia and prepared its 2007 organizational minutes showing that Puerto Verde would be issued all 1000 shares of Helvetia's stock at $1 per share. Mr. Kahn testified that he was knowledgeable about property sa]es, and knew that a cloud on a title generally would preclude a sale of that parcel. He intended for the F.x Parte Motion to harm Helvetia's sales, which he believed would return the p~rties to "status quo.'' Mr. Kahn drafted the pleading and his affidavit, and ]ocated and hired a handwriting

expert. At the time that the Ex Parle Motion was filed, Mr. Kahn provided the factual basis for ·~ the claims, and der.ided what legal claims to anert, and the manner in which to assert them, vfa the Texas Government Code. As ~art of his claim that he owned Helvetia, Mr. Kahn created the

4 new corporation Paradiv. to which he had tried to convey all of Helvetia is property in Key Largo v

0

only days and weeks before he filed the Ex Parle Motion that sought to invalidate legitimate t 4 sales closed by Helvetia after it had terminated Mr. Kahn. ~

65. Mr. George did not sign the Ex Parle Motion, but delegated that task to the newly retained local counsel Mr. Petterson. Emails on November 4 and 5. 2013 show that Helvetia's Page 27 of29 FrNAL JUDGMENT AND ORDER Of SANCTIONS counsel was unaware of Mr. Petterson's representation until the day the Ex Parte Motion was filed, November 5. After ignoring orders by Judge Sakai and Judge Canales to appear for his deposition, Mr. George voluntarilyiappeared at the December 2013 hearing before Judge Pozza to provide testimony during Mr. Kahn's presentation of his case. Nothing in the evidence shows that Mr. Ot:urge disavowed the Pane Motion.

66. Mr. George had notice of the sanctions motion and hearing set for March 3, 2014. He appeared on January 21, 2014, a previous setting, and participated in the monitoring court's reset of the hearing to March 3, 2014.io 6 F. Sanctions are Just and Not Excessive

67. The Court has carefully examined the two-part test adopted by the Texas Supreme Court in finding that the sanctions assessed arc just. First, there is a direct nexus among the offensive conduct, the offender, and the sanction imposed, in that the sanction is directed against the abuse and toward remedying th~ prejudice caused the innocent party.

68. Second, the sanction is not excessive because it is no more severe than necessary to satisfy its legitimate purposes, here, namely, to deter other litigants from simi]ar misconduct 0 4 6

and punish violators. 107 2 Accordingly, it is herehy ORDERED, ADJUSTED AND DECREED as foJlows: '! ~ Sanctions be and hereby are awarded against Burton Kahn and Terry George,

(l) jointly and severally, in the amount of $253,416.00, for which let execution issue. Of this sum, the Court finds $153.416.00 to be rea~onahle attorneys' fees incurred by Movants as a direct and proximate result of the fictitious filings and the attempted withdrawal of the Rule 11 agreement.

While Helvetia' s counsel was negotiating with Respondents to secure a hearing on Helvetia's Application for Temporary Restraining Order, the Respondents secretly filed and presented the Ex Parte Motion to a Bexar County judge and secured an order (the "Ex Parle Order") that was then filed in the Bexar County deed records to slander Helvetia's title and cloud its buyer's title. g Mr. Kal111 had no authority to file a motion on behalf of, or in the name of Helvetia, and his motion was a totally fictitious pleading filed for the purpose of causing hann to others. 9 5. Jay Petterson, Mr. George's co-counsel who signed the motion on behalf of Mr. Kahn and Mr. George, later signed a: Rule 11 Agreement whereby Mr. Kahn promised to petition the court to set aside the Ex Parte Order. 10 Mr. Kahn later disavowed the Rule 11 agreement, forcing Helvetia to try a lengthy temporary injunction hearing that resulted in a temporary injunction against Mr. Kahn and an order setting aside the Ex Parte Order, in other words, accomplishing at great cost what Mr. Kahn had ear1ier promised to do in his Rule 11

Mr. Kahn's Claims. 10. Mr. Kahn and Mr. George filed a fictitious pleading in the name of Helvetia by filing the November 5, 2013 Ex farte Motion. 36 Neither had authuri1y tu file the pleading. 17 Helvetia had fired Mr. Kahn in August 2013 and relieved him of duties long before Mr. Kahn filed the Ex Parte Motion. 38 His claim to authority stems from an alleged purchase of Helvetia's stock on September 7, 2013, but this claim is groundless. 39 11. Mr. Kahn alleges that Helvetia's stock was available for him to purchase just days after he was fired in 2013 because Helvetia's stock had allegedly never been purchased by Puerto Verde, or anyone, since Helvetia's formation in 2007.

[40] Mr. Kahn claims that an allegedly forged signature of Kenneth Moore, the then-president of Helvetia, on the 2007 stock certificate Helvetia delivered to Puerto Verde nullified Puerto Verde's 'rights to Helvetia' s stock,

Mr. Kahn's legal position as co his stock ownership is groundless. Texas has adopted Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs the creation and transfer of corporate securities. Under Article 8 complete ownership of a stock may exist without either the issuance or delivery of a stock certificate. Texas common law is the same. For at least l 00 years, Texas has not required a stock certificate as the sine qua non of ownership. 45 What controls the issue of ownership is whether stock was lawfully issued for purchase by the shareholder and whether the shareholder in fact purchased the stock. The evidence here showed that Helvetia issued its stock for purchase to Puerto Verde, and that Puerto Verde purchased the stock.

Mr. Baggett has been deemed incompetent to testify as a handwriting expert in numerous published court opinjons, and branded a charlatan by the Dallas Court of Appeals. 58 Multiple lega] opinions available in the public record before Mr. Kahn and his lawyers filed their Ex Parte Motion demonstrate that Mr. Baggett's affidavit would not be admissible to support Mr. Kahn's forgery allegatiuns in this ~e under any theory he may claim.

[4] retained just days before he filed the Ex Parte Motion.

[7] In the Ex Parte Motion, Mr. Kahn sought to have six warranty deeds executed by 22.

Due to the extraordinary ex parte nature of the proceedings, Section 51.903 (a) of the Texas Government Code requires the verified motion recite that the movant is aware that sanctions will be imposed for a frivolous filing. The Ex Parte Motion contained this recitation. 83

[81] Section 5 l.903 was enacted as part of House Bill 1185, passed in 1997. See Act of May 10, 1997, 15th Leg., R.S., Ch. 189, § 14, sec. 51.903, 1997 TEX. SESS. LAW. SERV. 1045, 1053 (current version at TEX. GOVT. CODE ANN. § 51.903 (Vernon 2005)). The Senate's Bill Analysis explains the impetus behind the passage of Bill I I 85, as follows: Currently, individuals and organizations have begun to take action based on their refusal to recognize the authority and sovereignty of the government of the State of Texas. These entities have filed fraudulent judgment liens issued by so-called "common law courts" and fraudulent documents purporting to create liens or claims on personal and real property with the secretary of state and many county and district court clerks throughout the state. Many of the filings have been against the State of Texas and public officers and employees, as well as private individuals. These filings have clogged the channels of commerce and have amounte-d to harassment and intimidation of both public officials and ordinary citizens. This bill provides both civil and criminal remedies for 1hose agafns1 whom such rraudulent filings have been made .... This bill creates an expedited judicial process that permits someone aggrieved by the fraudulent filing to obtain an expedited legal process to obtain a court order declaring the filing to be fraudulent. ... S.ENATE;RESEARCli CTR., BILL ANALYSIS, TF.X. H.B. 1185, 75""' LEG., R.E. (1997) (emphasis added). Thus, llle bill analysis supports the view that the statule was not created to detennine the legitimacy and validity of the claimed interest in the property.

Helvetia has provided evidence that overcomes the general pres\lmption by courts that pleadings and other papers are filed in good fai1h. 35. As discussed herein, the conduct by Mr. Kahn and Mr. George in failing to conduct appropriate investigation and due diligence -before filing the Ex Parte Motion, in delaying efforts by Helvetia to set 1t aside, and in refusing to comply with the Rule 11 Agreement, show that their pleading and their conduct has been groundless, that the pleading was filed in bad faith and for harassment, that it was filed for an improper purpose> that it lacked in factual oc legal basis, and was not supported by evidence. These findings are incorporated into the Court's findings that sanctions are appropriate under Rule 13, Chapter I 0, § 51,903, and under the Court's inherent power, as described in this order and judgment.

On November 4, 2013, counsel for Helvetia emalled Mr. Kahn's lawyer, Mr. George, a newly tiled petilion and application for injunctive relief seeking to enjoin Mr. Kabn from taking funher action on behalf of Helvetia, referri11g to his attempts to convey Helvetia's property to Paradiv. The email requested that Mr. George provide a convenient time for a court appearance on November 5 if he intended to conrest Helvetia's request for a temporary restraining order. Mr. George offered no specifics but noted that Mr. Kahn had engaged a San Antonio attorney, Jay Petterson, as associate counsel. Page 22 of29 FINAL JUDGMENT ANO 0ROER OF SANCTIONS Agreement. 101 Further delay occurred on November 26, 2013 when Mr. Kahn and new counsel dejour sought and obtained a continuance, falsely claiming the new counsel needed to get up to speed. Mr. Kahn fired those lawyers the same day, showing grounds for the continuance were a pretext for simply more delay. The refusal by Mr. Kahn and Mr. George to comply with Ht:lvetia's deposition notices on November 12, 2013, and their outright violation of Judge Sakai's orders for the same, demonstrate further delay. Mr. Kahn's voluminous pleadings on December 2, 2013 constitute further materially bad faith conduct and harassment when they set numerous substantive motions for hearing on the day Judge Sakai set Helvefo1.'s temporary injunction for hearing. Their continued refusal to present themselves for deposition caused further delay and unnecessary expense, leading to Judge Canales' December 5, 2013 order to appear, in which he also expressly stated Mr. Kahn was already in violation of the TRO by his acts purporting to be on behalf of Helvetia. 52.
