Court Prioritizes Case Merits

Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court case Pioneer Investment Services Co. V. Brunswick Associates Ltd.

- Ms. Horton is expected to testify that The Classic Group, Inc. and * Fountain Street, LLC (collectively, the “Entities”) acted as the agent and alter ego of one another with disregard for their separate identities in corporate form. She is expected to testify that the Entities acted as a single business enterprise and single economic entity while engaging in their business operations.
- Ms. Horton is expected to testify that Tiernan and Grieco’s profit-sharing arrangement relative to * Fountain Street, LLC is highly unusual, if not unheard of, and admittedly has no economic substance or business purpose other than tax avoidance, and thus runs afoul of the “sham transaction doctrine.”
- Ms. Horton is further expected to testify that The Classic Group, Inc. paid Cronan officer wages for * to * even though Cronan was not identified as an officer of The Classic Group, Inc. in state corporate filings.
- Ms. Horton is expected to testify that the Entities illegally paid some employees in cash, illegally classified and paid employees as independent contractors, andengaged in sham transfers of funds disguised as “management fees” for tax avoidance purposes.
- Ms. Horton is expected to testify that the above arrangements and transactions, alone or in combination, show that Entities’ tax returns and records do not reflect economic reality, lack economic substance, are against good business practices, evidence a disregard of corporate structure, and support the conclusion that Cronan is (and Tiernan and Grieco considered him to be) a one-third partner with Tiernan and Grieco notwithstanding the fact that Grieco and Tiernan are nominally listed as the owners of The Classic Group, Inc. and * Fountain Street, LLC.

How do i state this providing two exhibits, the property, * fountain Street, R.I., transferred to me, Cronan Realty LLc, by a warranty deed and the transfer from me to the Defandants within this sentence, "This is demonstrated by the fraudulent conversion of my shares in our partnered company, initiated by unfulfilled empty promises for which I received nothing (Exhibit H), and the fraudulent conversion of the expensive commercial building at * Fountain St, R.I., for which I received nothing (Exhibit H)
Here's a revised version of your sentence including the two exhibits:
"This is demonstrated by the fraudulent conversion of my shares in our partnered company, initiated by unfulfilled empty promises for which I received nothing (Exhibit H), and the fraudulent conversion of the expensive commercial building at * Fountain St, R.I., transferred to me by a warranty deed (Exhibit I) and subsequently transferred from me to the Defendants, for which I received nothing (Exhibit J)."
I have two sections that i am wondering if we need to put it into one Relief Requested section rather than a section called Next Steps. Will you look?
Sure! You can combine the "Relief Requested" section and the "Next Steps" section into one cohesive section if it makes the document more streamlined and easier to follow. Here’s a suggestion on how you could structure it:
---
Relief Requested and Next Steps:
- Vacate Dismissal: I respectfully request that this honorable court grant my motion to vacate the dismissal of my case under Rule *(b)(*) and (*) due to excusable neglect, lack of notice, and newly discovered evidence.

- Equitable Considerations: In *Pioneer Investment Services Co. v. Brunswick Associates Ltd. Partnership*, * U.S. * (*), the U.S. Supreme Court emphasized that equitable considerations and the merits of the case can outweigh technical procedural issues under Rule *(b). This supports the argument that my case should be judged on its merits rather than dismissed on procedural grounds.

- Additional Relief: I also request any additional relief outlined in my initial motion to ensure fairness and justice in these proceedings. This includes addressing substantial evidence of fraud, bad faith, and procedural violations by the defendants.

- Next Steps: Should the court grant this motion, I amprepared to proceed with presenting the newly discovered evidence and significant factual developments, including the detailed forensic accountant’s findings and deposition excerpts, to substantiate my claims and ensure that justice prevails.
Would you like any further assistance with this or any other part of your legal process?
Next Steps: - I propose that the court order the defendants to address their procedural violation by paying for the forensic accountant's deposition, as this was their responsibility under Rule *(h) of the Rhode Island Rules of Civil Procedure. - Additionally, the court should require the defendants to provide supplementary forensic accounting. Given the serious findings in the initial forensic accountant's report, it would be appropriate for the court to consider my next motion, which will seek to have the defendants bear the cost of the forensic accountant verifying the credibility of any supplementary accounting. I have already paid for the initial report, and it would be unfair for me to continue bearing the financial burden to ensure the honesty and integrity of evidence submitted in this court.
Combining the "Next Steps" into a "Relief Requested" section could provide a clearer and more cohesive structure for your motion. Here’s how you can do it:
---
Relief Requested:
- Order Defendants to Address Procedural Violation: The court should mandate that the defendants pay for the forensic accountant's deposition, as required under Rule *(h) of the Rhode Island Rules of Civil Procedure.

- Supplementary Forensic Accounting: The court should require the defendants to provide supplementary forensic accounting. Given the serious findings in the initial forensic accountant's report, the defendants should bear the cost of the forensic accountant verifying the credibility of any supplementary accounting. I have already paid for the initial report, and it would be unfair for me to continue bearing the financial burden to ensure the honesty and integrity of evidence submitted in this court.
Would you like any further assistance with your motion or any other legal questions?
Request for Relief: Given the substantial evidence of fraud, bad faith, and procedural violations by the defendants, I respectfully request the following relief from this honorable court: *. Motion to Vacate Dismissal: Under Rule *(b), I request that the court vacate the dismissal of my case due to excusable neglect, lack of notice, and newly discovered evidence. The newly discovered evidence, including the recent purchase of the judgment and the defendants' fraudulent activities, provides substantial grounds for relief that were not available during the initial proceedings. *. Motion to Strike Defendant’s Exhibits: I request that the court strike the defendant’s exhibits (#* - #*) submitted to the court. These exhibits are based on established fraudulent accounting practices, as confirmed by the forensic accountant’s report. Additionally, the manner in which these exhibits were submitted undermines the integrity of the judicial process and violates my due process rights.
Combining the sections can streamline and strengthen your motion. Here’s a revised version integrating the Next Steps into the Request for Relief section:
---
Request for Relief:
Given the substantial evidence of fraud, bad faith, and procedural violations by the defendants, I respectfully request the following relief from this honorable court:

*. Supplementary Forensic Accounting: The court should require the defendants to provide supplementary forensic accounting. Given the serious findings in the initial forensic accountant's report, it would be appropriate for the court to consider my next motion, which will seek to have the defendants bear the cost of the forensic accountant verifying the credibility of any supplementary accounting. I have already paid for the initial report, and it would be unfair for me to continue bearing the financial burden to ensure the honesty and integrity of evidence submitted in this court.

Combining the "Next Steps" and "Request for Relief" sections into a single "Relief Requested" section makes sense for clarity and conciseness. Here’s a polished and combined version:

Relief Requested:
Given the substantial evidence of fraud, bad faith, and procedural violations by the defendants, I respectfully request the following relief from this honorable court:
*. Motion to Vacate Dismissal: Under Rule *(b), I request that the court vacate the dismissal of my case due to excusable neglect, lack of notice, and newly discovered evidence. The newly discovered evidence, including the recent purchase of the judgment and the defendants' fraudulent activities, provides substantial grounds for relief that were not available during the initial proceedings.
*. Motion to Strike Defendant’s Exhibits: I request that the court strike the defendant’s exhibits (#* - #*) submitted to the court. These exhibits are based on established fraudulent accounting practices, as confirmed by the forensic accountant’s report. Additionally, the manner in which these exhibits were submitted undermines the integrity of the judicial process and violates my due process rights.
*. Order for Payment of Deposition Fees: I request that the court order the defendants to paythe forensic accountant's deposition fees, as this was their responsibility under Rule *(h) of the Rhode Island Rules of Civil Procedure. Their failure to pay these fees violates procedural rules and highlights their disregard for proper legal protocols.

*. Addressing Challenges as a Pro Se Litigant: I respectfully request that the court consider the challenges I face as a pro se litigant, forced into this position due to the severe financial crimes committed against me. These crimes have left me insolvent while enriching the defendants by millions of dollars. One of the defendants is an owner or president of a major accounting firm in Rhode Island, and the public needs to be protected from his unscrupulous business practices. It is crucial for the court to ensure that I have a fair opportunity to present my case and that justice is served based on the merits of the case rather than procedural technicalities.
You can combine the "Next Steps" and "Request for Relief" sections into one comprehensive "Relief Requested" section. This will streamline your motion and clearly present your requests to the court. Here’s how you can structure it:

- The bankruptcy court was abused, and the creditors were misled. I was left paying the Small Business Loan and a default judgement against me while my so-called partners immediately refinanced the building, stealing my hard-earned equity and subsequently executing an illegal self-help eviction by changing the locks to the building, stripping me of my business and the property. Do I need to express the default judgement here differently or is this ok?
Your expression of the default judgment is clear and effectively conveys the critical points. However, to ensure maximum clarity and impact, you might consider slightly rephrasing it for better readability. Here’s a polished version:

Case Rating: *
Your situation involves complex legal issues, including default judgments, bankruptcy proceedings, and potential fraud. Here are some general points on your due process rights:
- Notice and Opportunity to be Heard: You have a right to be properly notified of legal actions against you and an opportunity to present your case. If you did not receive notice, you might challenge the default judgment.
- Motion to Vacate Judgment: Under Rule *(b) of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure, you can file a motion to vacate the default judgment due to lack of notice or other reasons such as fraud or mistake.
- Fraud and Misrepresentation: If you have evidence of fraud or misrepresentation by your ex-husband’s financial advisor or the trustee, you can present this evidence to the court.
Would you like more detailed information on how to file a motion to vacate the judgment?
Can i file that motion now? How would that affect the sale of the judgement?
Yes, you can file a motion to vacate the default judgment now. Here's how it may affect the sale of the judgment:
- Filing the Motion to Vacate: If you file a motion to vacate the judgment under Rule *(b) of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure, you must provide reasons such as lack of notice or newly discovered evidence.
- Impact on Sale of Judgment: Filing the motion to vacate could potentially stay or delay the sale of the judgment. The court may need to resolve your motion before allowing the sale to proceed. Notify the trustee and the court about your motion.
Would you like guidance on how to draft and file the motion to vacate the judgment?
see above
Yes, you can file a Motion to Vacate Judgment pursuant to Rule *(b) of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure. Here's how it might affect the sale:
- Immediate Effect: Filing the motion can potentially stay the sale until the court rules on your motion.

Would you like guidance on drafting the motion to vacate?
Further questions. Can the party who is buying that judgement file liens on the other cases he is in that are pending?
The party buying the judgment can potentially file liens on other cases if they obtain a valid judgment against you. Here are some key points to consider:
- Judgment Liens: If they buy the judgment, they may seek to enforce it by placing liens on your property.
- Pending Cases: They typically need to wait for a final judgment in other cases before filing liens related to those cases.
Would you like more information on how to challenge the enforcement of a judgment lien?
It sounds to me like it would be wise of me to file a notice of rule *(b) for fruad upon the court as at the very least it would delay the sale of the judgment. Correct?

Would you like guidance on drafting your Rule *(b) motion?
see above
Yes, filing a Motion to Vacate Judgment under Rule *(b) for fraud upon the court can delay the sale of the judgment and potentially prevent further harm. Here are some steps to consider:
*. Draft the Motion: Clearly outline the basis for your motion, including lack of notice and fraud.

I need to clarify this section: LEGAL GROUNDS . I did reive notice and told my advisor but he said that the trustee was wrong but didnot take further action. I didnt understand the implication or the damge to me.

Sure, here is the revised section for "Legal Grounds" based on the information you provided:

LEGAL GROUNDS
*. Excusable Neglect and Lack of Notice:
- Although I received notice of the hearing, I informed my advisor, who assured me that the trustee was wrong and took no further action.
- I did not understand the implications or the damage this would cause me. Consequently, a default judgment was entered against me.
- Upon learning about the default judgment, I immediately met with the trustee, who offered to settle the case for $*,*. Being insolvent at the time, I could not pay this amount.
- Mr. D'Orio later met with my lawyer to discuss the judgment and its impact on my Superior Court case against my partners. During this meeting, Mr. D'Orio placed a lien on the Superior Court case for $*,* against me and $*,* against my former wife, which he now proposes to sell for $*,* to my partners.

LEGAL GROUNDS
*. Excusable Neglect and Lack of Notice:
- Karen, my former wife, did not receive proper notice or does not recall receiving notice of the hearing, which led to the default judgment against us.
- I did receive notice and informed my advisor, but he assured me that the trustee was wrong and did not take any further action. I did not understand the implications or the damage this would cause me.
- Upon learning about the default judgment against me, I immediately met with the trustee at his office. One of his staff told me that they would settle the case for $*,*, which I could not afford, being insolvent at the time.
- Despite this, Mr. D'Orio met with my lawyer regarding the judgment and its impact on my case against my partners in Superior Court. During this meeting, Mr. D'Orio placed a lien on the Superior Court case for $*,* against me and $*,* against my former wife, which he is now selling for a proposed $*,* to my partners.
*. Newly Discovered Evidence:
- Recently, Mr. DiOrio, Trustee for the bankruptcy court, has filed a Motion for Approval of Sale of Judgments to * Fountain Street, LLC (the “buyer”) to purchase a $*,* judgment for $*,*, raising serious concerns about ongoing fraud and bad faith.
- This judgment originated from the bankruptcy trustee's actions against me, directly resulting from my financial advisor's accounting representation in the bankruptcy court.
*. Fraud Upon the Court:
- My financial advisor, who also served as President, Shareholder, Partner, and CPA of the companies, represented me in the bankruptcy court.
- While wearing these many hats, he made promises to me that he did not keep, subsequently filing fraudulent documents in the bankruptcy court.
- The defendants now use the lawsuit filed against me by Trustee D'Orio in the bankruptcy court as a means to challenge my credibility in this court. However, they come with unclean hands, having knowingly and willfully orchestrated the D'Orio lawsuit to gain an unfair advantage and seize the valuable * Fountain Street property in Rhode Island.

INTRODUCTION
The Plaintiff, [Your Name], respectfully moves this honorable court to vacate the default judgment entered against me pursuant to Rule *(b) of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure, due to fraud upon the court, excusable neglect, and newly discovered evidence.
BACKGROUND
- At the time of the lawsuit, my financial advisor, Ralph Grieco, formed a partnership with me and purchased my business assets through the bankruptcy court, buying the equipment and invoices, which I have on tape.
- Subsequently, we opened a new business together, and he advised me to give my shares of that business to the third partner in the newly formed business, James Tiernan,to give him a tax shelter. He promised that he would return my name to the stock power documents the following year. He did not, and I never received any money for the transfer.
- Throughout the partnership, the two partners continually made promises to me. They advised me to move from Chapter * on the commercial building that was in my name as the title owner and part of the bankruptcy estate, to Chapter * to liquidate. They assured me they would buy the building from the court and, once the transfer was done, they would add my name back onto the title of the property.
- I followed my advisor's instructions, and the transfer was completed. However, they then refused to put my name back on the building, claiming it was due to the trustee filing a lawsuit against me, which he was in charge of.
- They subsequently executed an illegal self-help eviction by changing the locks to the building, stripping me of my business and property.
- I filed a lawsuit against them in Superior R.I. court, but my lawyer left the case due to my inability to keep up with his payments, despite being hired under a contingency case which he changed to hourly. The case is still pending.

REQUEST FOR RELIEF:
Given the substantial evidence of fraud, bad faith, and procedural violations by the defendants, I respectfully request the following relief from this honorable court:
*. Motion to Vacate Judgment: I request that the court vacate the default judgment entered against me due to excusable neglect, lack of notice, and newly discovered evidence. The newly discovered evidence, including the recent purchase of the judgmentand the defendants' fraudulent activities, provides substantial grounds for relief that were not available during the initial proceedings.
*. Motion to Strike Defendant’s Exhibits: I request that the court strike the defendant’s exhibits (#* - #*) submitted to the court. These exhibits are based on established fraudulent accounting practices, as confirmed by the forensic accountant’s report. Additionally, the manner in which these exhibits were submitted undermines the integrity of the judicial process and violates my due process rights.
*. Order for Payment of Deposition Fees: I request that the court order the defendants to pay the forensic accountant's deposition fees, as this was their responsibility under Rule *(h) of the Rhode Island Rules of Civil Procedure. Their failure to pay these fees violates procedural rules and highlights their disregard for proper legal protocols.
*. Supplementary Forensic Accounting Costs: I propose that the court require the defendants to provide supplementary forensic accounting and bear the cost of the forensic accountant verifying the credibility of any supplementary accounting. Due to their fraudulent behavior, I should not have to bear the burden of the continued cost of the forensic accountant. I have already paid for the initial report, which was a hardship.
*. Addressing Challenges as a Pro Se Litigant: I respectfully request
Theres confusion: the above relief is for the Superior Court case gainst my partners. However this motion rule *(b) is to the rhode island bankruptcy court to stay the sale of the motion to sell the default judgement. Or other relief that you think that given my background and the serious harm that was done by the advisor and partners would be appropriate.

- Throughout the partnership, the two partners continually made promises to me. They advised me to move from Chapter * on the commercial building that was in my name as the title owner and part of the bankruptcy estate, to Chapter * to liquidate. They assured me they would buy the building from the court and, once the transfer was done, they would add my name back onto the title of the property.

INTRODUCTION
The Plaintiff, [Your Name], respectfully moves this honorable court to vacate the default judgment entered against me pursuant to Rule *(b) of the Rhode Island Rules of Civil Procedure, due to fraud upon the court, excusable neglect, and newly discovered evidence.
BACKGROUND
- At the time of the lawsuit, my financial advisor, Ralph Grieco, formed a partnership with me and purchased my business assets through the bankruptcy court, buying the equipment and invoices, which I have on tape (Exhibit A).
- Subsequently, we opened a new business together, and he advised me to give my shares of that business to the third partner in the newly formed business, James Tiernan,to give him a tax shelter. He promised that he would return my name to the stock power documents the following year. He did not, and I never received any money for the transfer (Exhibit B).
- Throughout the partnership, the two partners continually made promises to me. They advised me to move from Chapter * on the commercial building that was in my name as the title owner and part of the bankruptcy estate, to Chapter * to liquidate. They assured me they would buy the building from the court and, once the transfer was done, they would add my name back onto the title of the property (Exhibit C).
- I followed my advisor's instructions, and the transfer was completed. However, they then refused to put my name back on the building, claiming it was due to the trustee filing a lawsuit against me, which he was in charge of.
- They subsequently executed an illegal self-help eviction by changing the locks to the building, stripping me of my business and property (Exhibit D).
- I filed a lawsuit against them in Superior R.I. court, but due to financial strain, the case is still pending.

BACKGROUND
- At the time of the lawsuit, my financial advisor, Ralph Grieco, formed a partnership with me and purchased my business assets through the bankruptcy court, buying the equipment and invoices, which I have on tape (Exhibit A).
- Subsequently, we opened a new business together, and he advised me to give my shares of that business to the third partner in the newly formed business, James Tiernan, to give him a tax shelter. He promised that he would return my name to the stock power documents the following year. He did not, and I never received any money for the transfer (Exhibit B).
- Throughout the partnership, the two partners continually made promises to me. They advised me to move from Chapter * on the commercial building that was in my name as the title owner and part of the bankruptcy estate, to Chapter * to liquidate. They assured me they would buy the building from the court and, once the transfer was done, they would add my name back onto the title of the property (Exhibit C).
- I followed my advisor's instructions, and the transfer was completed. However, they then refused to put my name back on the building, claiming it wasdue to the trustee filing a lawsuit against me, which he was in charge of.
- They subsequently executed an illegal self-help eviction by changing the locks to the building, stripping me of my business and property, and then illegally foreclosed on my children's and former wife's home in Massachusetts using a usury rate of *% interest. This action is pending in two court cases: one in Superior Court, Massachusetts, against the financial advisor, and one in Federal Court, Rhode Island, against the private lender, who is my partner in this bankruptcy case buying the judgment.

Is this transition right, "... I filed a lawsuit against them in Superior R.I. court, but due to financial strain, the case is still pending. During the representation with my counsel, I hired a forensic accountant to report on the financials that the court required the defendants to submit to dissolve the partnership...."
Yes, that transition is clear and effectively conveys the progression of events. Here's a polished version for clarity:

- They subsequently executed an illegal self-help eviction by changing the locks to the building, stripping me of my business and property, and then illegally foreclosed on my children's and former wife's home in Massachusetts using a usury rate of *% interest. This action is pending in two court cases: one in Superior Court, Massachusetts, against the financial advisor, and one in Federal Court, Rhode Island, against the private lender, who is my partner in this bankruptcy case buying the judgment (Exhibit D).

Horton, CPA/CFF, CFE, CICA to establish her qualifications and credibility as an expert witness).LEGAL GROUNDS
Excusable Neglect and Lack of Notice:
- Karen, my former wife, did not receive proper notice or does not recall receiving notice of the hearing, which led to the default judgment against us.
- I did receive notice and informed my advisor, but he assured me that the trustee was wrong and did not take any further action. I did not understand the implications or the damage this would cause me.
- Upon learning about the default judgment against me, I immediately met with the trustee at his office. One of his staff told me that they would settle the case for $*,*, which I could not afford, being insolvent at the time. Despite this, Mr. D'Orio met with my lawyer regarding the judgment and its impact on my case against my partners in Superior Court. During this meeting, Mr. D'Orio placed a lien on the Superior Court case for $*,* against me and $*,* against my former wife, which he is now selling for a proposed $*,* to my partners (Exhibit G).
Newly Discovered Evidence:
- Recently, Mr. DiOrio, Trustee for the bankruptcy court, has filed a Motion for Approval of Sale of Judgments to * Fountain Street,

- Recently, Mr. DiOrio, Trustee for the bankruptcy court, has filed a Motion for Approval of Sale of Judgments to * Fountain Street, LLC (the “buyer”), which is owned and operated by my partners and financial advisor, to purchase a $*,* judgment for $*,*, raising serious concerns about ongoing fraud and bad faith. This judgment originated from the bankruptcy trustee's actions against me, directly resulting from my financial advisor's accounting representation in the bankruptcy court (Exhibit H).
Fraud Upon the Court:
- My financial advisor, who also served as President, Shareholder, Partner, and CPA of the companies, represented me in the bankruptcy court.
- While wearing these many hats, he made promises to me that he did not keep, subsequently filing fraudulent documents in the bankruptcy court.
- The same financial advisor orchestrated the transfer of my business assets and shares under false pretenses, without fulfilling the promises made, thereby committing fraud upon the court.
- Under * U.S.C. § *, it is illegal to knowingly and fraudulently make a false statement or conceal property in relation to a bankruptcy case. My advisor's actions constitutea violation of this law, as he made fraudulent promises to manipulate my actions for his personal gain.
- Additionally, during the bankruptcy case, I have documents that do not show that creditors were paid.
REQUEST FOR RELIEF:
Given the substantial evidence of fraud, bad faith, and procedural violations by the defendants, I respectfully request the following relief from this honorable court:
*. Motion to Vacate Judgment: I request that the court vacate the default judgment entered against me due to excusable neglect, lack of notice, and newly discovered evidence. The newly discovered evidence, including the trustee's motion to sell the judgment and the fraudulent activities of my financial advisor, provides substantial grounds for relief that were not available during the initial proceedings.
*. Stay of Sale: I request that the court stay the sale of the judgment pending the resolution of this motion to vacate the judgment to prevent any further harm or injustice.
*. Further Relief: Given the serious harm caused by the fraudulent activities of my financial advisor and partners, I request any further relief that the court deems appropriate to ensure justice is served and to address the severe financial and personal damages I have suffered, as well as the financial damages suffered by the bankruptcy estate and the former creditors due to millions of dollars in both property value

*. By Order dated September *, *, the Trustee sold the assets of the Debtorpursuant to § * of the Code to Ralph Grieco, James Michael Cronan, and James Tiernan or their nominee.
*. On November *, *, the Case was converted to Chapter * and DiOrio was appointed Chapter * trustee.
*. On May *, *, the Trustee filed adversary proceedings against the Debtor’s principal, James Cronan (“J. Cronan”), and Cronan’s ex-wife, Karen Cronan (“K. Cronan”), seeking to recover funds the Debtor fraudulently transferred to them.
*. On November *, *, the Trustee obtained the Judgment.
- At the time of the lawsuit, my financial advisor, Ralph Grieco, formed a partnership with me and purchased my business assets through the bankruptcy court, including a promissory note and the sale of the business from me to Ralph Grieco.
- Subsequently, we opened a new business together, and he advised me to give my shares of that business to the third partner in the newly formed business, James Tiernan, to give him a tax shelter. He promised that he would return my name to the stock power documents the following year. He did not, and I never received any
From here Tiernan, to give him a tax shelter. He promised that he would return my name to the stock power documents the following year. He did not, and I never received any
money for the share transfer.
- Throughout the partnership, the two partners continually made promises to me. They advised me to move from Chapter * on the commercial building that was in my name as the title owner and part of the bankruptcy estate, to Chapter * to liquidate. They assured me they would buy the building from the court and, once the transfer was done, they would add my name back onto the title of the property. I have the deed transferring the commercial property from the bankruptcy court to my advisor and James Tiernan.
- It was not in my best interest to move from Chapter * to Chapter *. I would have stayed in Chapter * and taken other actions. Of course, who gives up valuable assets and gets nothing in return? No one.
- They subsequently executed an illegal self-help eviction by changing the locks to the building, stripping me of my business and property, and then illegally foreclosed on my children's and former wife's home in Massachusetts using a usury rate of *% interest. This action is pending in two court cases: one in Superior Court, Massachusetts, against the financial advisor, and one in Federal Court, Rhode Island, against the private lender, who is my partner in this bankruptcy case buying thejudgment.
- I filed a lawsuit against them in Superior R.I. court, but due to financial strain, the case is still pending.
- During the representation with my counsel, I hired a forensic accountant to report on the financials that the court required the defendants to submit to dissolve the partnership. The forensic accountant reported extensive commingling of funds, tax evasion, sham transactions, and other fraudulent practices. The forensic accountant's findings are detailed in PLAINTIFF’S ANSWER TO DEFENDANTS’ EXPERT INTERROGATORY, where Ms. Horton is expected to testify that The Classic Group, Inc. and * Fountain Street, LLC (collectively, the “Entities”) acted as the agent and alter ego of one another with disregard for their separate identities in corporate form.

LEGAL GROUNDS
Excusable Neglect and Lack of Notice:
- Karen, my former wife, did not receive proper notice or does not recall receiving notice of the hearing, which led to the default judgment against us.
- I did receive notice and informed my advisor, but he assured me that the trustee was wrong and did not take any further action. I did not understand the implications or the damage

I did receive notice and informed my advisor, but he assured me that the trustee was wrong and did not take any further action. I did not understand the implications or the damage this would cause me. Upon learning about the default judgment against me, I immediately met with the trustee at his office. One of his staff told me that they would settle the case for $*,*, which I could not afford, being insolvent at the time. Despite this, Mr. D'Orio met with my lawyer regarding the judgment and its impact on my case against my partners in Superior Court. During this meeting, Mr. D'Orio placed a lien on the Superior Court case for $*,* against me and $*,* against my former wife, which he is now selling for a proposed $*,* to my partners.
Newly Discovered Evidence:
- Recently, Mr. DiOrio, Trustee for the bankruptcy court, has filed a Motion for Approval of Sale of Judgments to * Fountain Street, LLC (the “buyer”), which is owned and operated by my partners and financial advisor, to purchase a $*,* judgment for $*,*, raising serious concerns about ongoing fraud and bad faith. This judgment originated from the bankruptcy trustee's actions against me, directly resulting from my financial advisor's accounting representation in the bankruptcy court.
Fraud Upon the Court:
- My financial advisor, who also served as President, Shareholder, Partner, and CPA of the companies, represented me in the bankruptcy court.
- While wearing these many hats, he made promises to me that he did not keep, subsequently filing fraudulent documents in the bankruptcy court.
- The same financial advisor orchestrated the transfer of my business assets and shares under false pretenses, without fulfilling the promises made, thereby committing fraud upon the court.
- Under * U.S.C. § *, it is illegal to knowingly and fraudulently make a false statement or conceal property in relation to a bankruptcy case. My advisor's actions constitute a violation of this law, as he made fraudulent promises to manipulate my actions for his personal gain.
- Additionally, during the bankruptcy case, I have documents that do not show that creditors were paid.

How do I get the copy of the lien? My attorney said that the trustee filed it. It should be in the docket of the case right?
Yes, you should be able to obtain a copy of the lien from the docket of the case. The lien would typically be filed as part of the bankruptcy court proceedings. You can access the docket through the PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) system, which is the electronic public access service for federal court documents.
To get a copy of the lien:
*. Log in to your PACER account.
*. Search for your case using the case number or party names.
*. Look for the docket entry related to the lien filed by the trustee.
*. You can download a copy of the document directly from PACER.
Would you like more information on accessing PACER or need help with any other part of your case?
see above
Yes, the lien should be part of the case docket. You can obtain a copy by accessing your eFile account for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Rhode Island and searching the case docket for any filings related to the lien placed by the trustee. If you have trouble finding it, you can request assistance from the court clerk's office.

However, for federal bankruptcy cases, such as the one you're dealing with, you will need to use the CM/ECF (Case Management/Electronic Case Files) system through PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records). Here's what you can do:
*. Check eFile Rhode: Verify if it supports federal bankruptcy filings, as some state systems may have integrated access to federal systems.
*. Register with PACER: If you don't have access, you'll need to register for a PACER account to file documents in federal bankruptcy court.
Would you like detailed steps on how to register for PACER and file your motion?

Bankruptcy cases are generally accessed and filed through PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records). PACER is a separate system specifically designed for federal court documents, including bankruptcy cases. If you have a PACER account, you can file documents, view the docket, and obtain necessary filings, such as the lien document, through this service.

I have a Pacer account but is it by state ? I am unsure if my Pacer accountant is just for Massachusetts or I will be able to access Rhode Island bankr court too.
Your PACER account should provide you access to federal court records across all states, including bankruptcy courts. It is not limited by state. You should be able to access the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Rhode Island using your PACER account. If you encounter any issues, you can contact PACER support for assistance.
ok! I will confirm once filled.
Great! Filing your motion through PACER and obtaining the necessary documents should help strengthen your case. If you need further assistance at any point, feel free to reach out. Good luck with your filing!

To clarify can i add this: - Throughout the partnership, the two partners continually made promises to me. They advised me to move from Chapter * on the commercial building, * Fountain Street, Rhode Island, that was in my name as the title owner Cronan Realty, LLC and part of the bankruptcy estate, to Chapter * to liquidate. They assured me they would buy the building from the court and, once the transfer was done, they would add my name back onto the title of the property. I have the deed transferring the commercial property from the bankruptcy court to my advisor and James Tiernan (Exhibit C).
Yes, you can certainly add that clarification. Here’s the updated version of your motion with the added clarification:

Do you think this is ok? It was not in my best interest to move from Chapter * to Chapter * in the abensence of unfufilled promises. I had a due process right to know that my partners had no intent to keep their promise. I would have stayed in Chapter 13and taken other actions. Of course, who gives up valuable assets and gets nothing in return? No one- I dont know if I like the last question. Can we enphasize the betrayal of a fudiciary dutis as partners, shareholders and my trusted personal advisor. That she not have title to my business and property. They should not rewarded and aided and abetted by this court to perpetuate the crime against not only myself but the bankruptcy estate asw well. Can you polish?
Sure, here’s a polished version of your statement:

This court must recognize the severity of their fraudulent actions and ensure justice is served.
