7. Intimidation - run out of town
My attorney had failed to file the sales we conducted in Chile, although we paid all obligations, at the November 21, 2016 hearing, our motion to convert to Chapter 13 is denied. My attorney will now stop responding.
I take the risk, and I file a Pro Se memorandum protesting actions taken by the court, describing political events that should provide cause for the Court to investigate the new purchasers prior to sale. This memorandum is read in court, and ignored.
The day after the memorandum was read in court, the “Retired Deputy” comes to the Timmons Circle property, and meets with me. He is visibly upset, and tells me three times “GET THE F**K OUT OF THE COUNTRY!”
I don’t wish to whine about some harsh words but, this is the same person that was familiar with the people that participated in my business, and trailed me in my past political activities. Someone that made it clear to me that he was a tough guy. “ I am a killer,” “I infiltrated the Mafia in Vegas,” and told me my life may be in danger. I can not know if he is working with my creditors Jerry Austin, and Eddie Lawson.
How could I know if an X- Los Angeles California undercover agent has been working all this time with my creditors to put me out of business, create the conditions that led to the foreclosure, and then run me out of town? If so, is the federal court part of a political machine?
The “Retired Deputy” will next tell me that I should take care, that my son might be taken by DFCS (Division of Family and Children's Services).
After we have been evicted from our property, the “Retired Deputy” and his wife, invite my son and me to lunch. His wife will begin to cry as she will warn us, “they may take your son away”.
I don’t know if we are in danger, but the “retired deputy” may have been more correct than I imagined when he said, “be afraid they may kill you”.
I will take these suggestions seriously, I begin to plan to leave the area, before more harm may come to us.
I had also filed a second Pro Se motion to re-convert to Chapter 13, this was also denied. on Novenber 23, 2016
November 24 2016 Wrongful eviction from the Liberty Road property.
At the conversion hearing, the Chapter 7 Trustee had made assurances he would let us keep the property, preserve my business, and that he would work with me to continue with the sales we had in Chile. The Trustee had explained in Court that what was done as a Chapter 13, he could do as a Chapter 7.
Contrary, Valdejulli, my attorney, had warned me that this particular Trustee would "rape" me, that everything would be converted into fees to benefit the Trustee.
The property was quickly sold, to suspect purchasers. Tenants and their business were evicted. We were given 30 days to move our business and home from a 7200 sg/ft property. All this while I still had a motion pending in court that would have prevented the sale, and permit me to pay my creditors.
Now that the sale had been done, we began moving from the property. We had a storage business, a clothing business, there was too much to move at the Liberty Road property, for the amount of time given to do so. My tenants were still there, and they too were moving out.
I had been a landlord my entire working life, and I understood that I had been told to move. I also understood that the property would now be out of Federal Court, and was now governed by State law. We were now "tenants at will," we still had rights to the property, and an eviction would be conducted by a local magistrate, which would give us a few additional days.
On November 24, 2016 we come home (we are still living at the property) and the gates are locked to the property. I call the new owners, and tell them they can't do this, that they must file a dispocessory with the local court. I cut the chain, re-enter the property, and I call the police.
The new owners arrive, and the police speak with the new owners, and they explain to them that a proper dispossessory must be filed. The new owners go away and file a dispocesssory.
Yet, again a couple of days later they re-enter the property, and change the locks, this time they post guards. They tell me they will not return my business, and personal belongings that still remain on the property.

December 2, 2016 Nancy Mimns one of the persons that had participated in the failed Liberty Road business, is now asking me to call DFCS (Child Services). She says the new buyers are endangering my son.
Nancy is similar to the “Retired Deputy,”she had also developed a sudo friendship with us. Her suggesting that I call DFCS would only increase the potential for harm to us. The danger that we find ourselves in may cause DFCS to take my son. By now I am becoming convinced that all these foes are interconnected. 266-nancy-dfcs
December 4, 2016 My sister takes my son to North Carolina for safety.
December 5, 2016 Philip Johns(attorney) gets permission from the new buyers for me to move my belongings from the property. Two days is not enough time for me to complete the move of all the contents of a 7200 sq/ft building. When we come to move, some of my store inventory, and many of my things had disappeared from the building. Not having enough time or resources to move everything, much of our belongings, and storage items of clients had to be left behind.
January 2017 - We feel we can no longer say in the area, I fear for our safety. It was not that long ago that the South would tar and feather people.
My son and I leave for a trip through the North East, with intention of moving to the New York area. By the end of January we move North, we tell no one where we move to, not family not anyone.
It is very difficult to be a single parent, and more difficult to get an apartment without any job history, a bankruptcy on your record, no income, and then try to hide-out. The absurdity of all this is unbelievable.
It will be even more difficult to try to protect what remains of my estate that is now in the hands of Trustee, Neil Gordon.
These individuals that make up this Federal Court are experts, with years of experience, they must all have known the outcome of what they were doing far more than I. Instead of “bankruptcy protection” something quite the opposite would happen.
After we moved from Georgia, it took us a while to organize ourselves. I still find it difficult to make a living, and it would be a few months before I could try to again address the Court about the bankruptcy, in order to protect what remains of my estate.
