sanctions against a represented party based on the legal
contentions in a pleading. Id. § I 0.004( d) ("The court

Accordingly, the trial court could not have properly
awarded sanctions against Nath for groundless legal

(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

of section 10.004(d).

"may not award monetary sanctions against a represented

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 S.W.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 17, 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 17, 2007 Puerto Verde Inc or Ltd ?
c) Was the purchase on September 17,, 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 S.W.2d
482, 483 (re App -Houston [1 4th 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 subsequenfAction 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 ofRoanoke 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 ofHouston 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 ofDeSoto 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 ofAllen 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.
This Appellate Court should reverse the Final Judgment and Sanctions Order
based on Court Abused Its Discretion Because It Lacked Jurisdiction To Rule On
Ownership Of Stock.
PRAYER
For the reasons, Appellant prays that this Honorable Court of Appeals will
reverse the Final Judgment and Sanctions Order

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 ofKenneth 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.} 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
showing that J ·had sufficient data .and that .my opinion is correct. My Curriculum Vitae is
attached and ini:.orpoxated herein by reference.

counsel.3 Section 51.903 pennits, inter alia, an owner of real property to appear before a court
and have the co mt declare as fraudulent an instrument filed of record creating or purporting to
create an interest in real property owned by the movant. The owner/movant "mai' appear ex

parte. The reviewing court may not consider testimony or make findings on the merits.
2. The offending pleading that is the subject of the Sanctions Motiuu i!i uu ex ptArle
motion (the "Ex Parte Motion") filed on November 5, 2013 by Mr. Kahn in the name of
Helvetia. 5 This Ex Parle Motion was filed pursuant to Section 51.903 of the Texas Govemment
Code. Mr. George was designated as Mr. Kahn's lead counsel on the Ex Parte Motion. 6 Newly-
retained Jay Petterson in San Antonio ("Mr. Petterson") was designated as "associate attorney,"
and signed the document for Mr. George, who resides in Fort Worth, Texas. 7
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.

4. 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
agreement. 11

this capital contribution in 2007 to acquire 215 real estate lots in the Key Largo subdivision in

in 2010, and have increased in subsequent years. 17

served as president and director of Helvetia. 20 Unhappy with his termination, Mr. Kahn set about
to get even. He emptied Helvetia's bank accounts, transferring approximately $300,00021 into
other bank accounts personally owned by Mr. Kahn or his companies.22 He then issued to
himself on September?, 2013. a stock certificate for 1,000 share$ of Helvetia common stock a11d

17. For example, in Dracz v. American General Life, 426 F. Supp. 2d 1373 (M.D. Ga.
2006), the court struck Mr. Baggett as an expert witness finding his testimony unreliable and his
qualifications "paltry" and not qualified to testify as an expert in the field of handwriting
analysis. 61 In a bench trial in U.S. v. Revels, 1:10-CR-110-l (E.D. TN., May 9, 2012), the court
similarly excluded Mr. Baggett pointing to his "evident deficiencies" as a handwriting expert,
and referred to the Dallas Court of Appeals opinion that embraced a prosecutor's use of the tenn
''charlatan" in reference to Mr. Baggett, which the court defined as a "pretender to medical
62
knowledge: a quack." See Brown v. State of Texas, No. 05w97-00289-CR, 1999 WL 61858, at
"'8 (Tex. Crim. App. App. Feb. 9, 1999). The court in Revels also noted that Mr. Baggett had
received felony convictions for theft and aggravated assault, and a deferred adjudication after
pleading guilty to Tampedng with a Government Record, which stemmed from his failure to
truthfully disclose his criminal history on a government form. Mr. Kahn acknowledged that
legal opinions about Mr. Baggett were publicly available before he filed the Ex Parte Motion,
but he took no steps to investigate Mr. Baggett or his background. 63
18. For these factual and legal reasons, and others already stated, the Court gives no
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
67
stock in September 2013, and that nobody owned Helvetia's stock before that time.
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
69
note, deed of trust, or any other typical indicia of indebtedness to support his allegation. In
fact, closing documents on Helvetia's purchase of the Key Largo rea] estate reflect there was no
~I debt. 70

and directed his lawyers to file it. 72 Without any authority, Mr. Kahn filed the pleading in the
name of Helvetia, and falsely assened his ownership of Helvetia throughout the filing, which he
reiterated in his supporting affidavit. 73 Mr. Kahn's affidavit, containing his allegations of fraud
and forgery against Puerto Verde, was ]ater "massaged" by Mr. Petterson, who Mr. Kahn
retained just days before he filed the Ex Parte Motion. 74
22. In the Ex Parte Motion, Mr. Kahn sought to have six warranty deeds executed by
Helvetia declared invalid. 75 The s~x warranty deeds represented Helvetia' s six sales of lots to a
ho1m::builder in September and October 2013, after it had terminated Mr. Kahn. 76 Mr. Kahn
claimed that because he bought Helvetia's stock on September 7, 2013, after he was terminated,
only he, and not the person signing the deeds, had the authority to sell Helvetia's Jots. 77
23. Mr. Kahn and his attorneys lrnew or should have known that Section 51 of the
Texas Government Code on1y affords the extraordinary remedy of ex parfe relief to "owners" of
real property. 78 Mr. Kahn did not meet this requirement. 79 He did not personally own any of the
six lots, he did not own Helveti~ and he had no relationship with Helvetia at the time the Ex
Parte Motion was filed. 80

24. Section 51.903 also limits the Court's determination to whether the six warranty
deeds are fraudulent as defined by $ection 51.901, and does not provide for findings by the Court
on the parties' underlying dispute. See TEX. Gov•T CODE ANN. § 51.903(a), (g). See In re

No. 07-98-0292-CV, 1999 WL 225956, at *2 (Tex.App.-Amarillo Apr. 1S, 1999, no pet.). 81 This
statute was enacted after the Republic of Texas filed hundreds of frivolous Hens against
government officials. 82
25. 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.

28. On November 22, 2013, Mr. Kahn fired Mr. Petterson and Ms. Goodman and
substituted himself as counsel pro se.e7 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

lo t:nfo1ce the Rule 11 Agreement. Judge Canales declined at that time to make any contempt
findings, but expressly recognized in his order that Mr. Kahn had violated Judge Sakai's TRO,
that he had refused to implement the November 15, 2013 Rule 11 Agreement, and that he and
Mr. George had faik:d tu produce documents or appear for depositions as Judge Sakai had

ORDER OF SANCTIONS
34. 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.
A. Ruth 13, Texas Ru Jes of Civil Procedure
36. Ru1e 13 gives the Court
. I
the option of imposing sanctions on both a party and
counsel for filing a groundless pleading that is either brought in bad faith or brought for the
0
4 purpose of harassment. TEX. R. CJV. P. 13; In re C.M V.• 136 S.W.3d 280, 284 (Tex. App. - San
~-, Antonio 200, no pet.) The rule defines "groundless" as having "no basis in law or fact and not
1
warranted by good faith argument for the extension, modification. or reversal of existing Jaw,"
and thn~ tnrns on the legal merits of a claim. Id.; Robson v. Gilbreath, 267 S.W.3d 401, 405
~L (Tex. App.-Austin 2008, pet. denied). "Bad faith" requires the conscious doing of a wrong for a
dishonest, discriminatory, or malicious purpose. Id., at 407. Improper motive is an essential
.~
2
Q element of had faith. Elkins v. Stotls-Bnmm, 103 S.W.3d 664, 669 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2003, 110

cause, the particulars of which must be stated in the sanction order. 1) See Low v. Remy, 221
S.W.3d 609, 614 (Tex. 2007).
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)).
39. In detennining whether sanctions are appropriate, the trial court examines the
facts availabJe to the litigant and the circumstances existing when the litigant filed the pleading.
Alejandro v. Bell, 84 S.W.3d 3&3, 392 (Corpus Christi 2002, no pet. h.); Home Owners Funding
Corp. of Am. v. Schepple1', 815 S.W.2d 884, 889 (Tex. App. - Corpus Christi 1991, no writ).
The Court aJso considers the acts or omissions of the represented party or counsel, not merely the
legal merit of a plei:iding OT motion. Griffin Indus. V G1·imes, No. 04-02-00430-CV, 2003 WL
1911993, *4 (San Antonio Apr. 23, 2003, no pet.) (citing New York Underwriters Ins. Co. v.
State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 856 S.W.2d 194, 205 (Tex. App.--Dallas 1993, no writ.).
40. In addition, the Court is entitled to evaluate the credibility of the testimony :md
detennine what weight to give it. Wein v. Sherman, 03-10-00499-CV, 2013 Tex. App. Lexis
10666. at *24 (Tex.App.-Austin Aug. 23, 2013, n.p.h.) (mem. op.) (citing Alpert v. Crain, Caton
& James, P.C., 178 S.W.Jd 398. 412 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2005, pet. denied)).
FINAL JUDGMENT Al>iD ORDER 01' SANCTIONS Page 19 of29
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 [141h 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~.!f6 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.

on property sales by Helvetia if they thought Mr. Kallll would record adverse
ownership claims to the property;
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
99
Defondant's: Exhibit 8: Tl-RR-4, pp. 82-83 ("Paradiv doesn't own (the six lots), it is Helvetia. At1d P11radiv was

Helvetia Asset Recoveiy, Inc. v. Burton Kahn and Paradiv Corporation, filed on November 4, 2013, in the 4071h
Judicial District, Bexar County, Texas.
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.
FINAL JUDGMENT ANO 0ROER OF SANCTIONS Page 22 of29
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. Mr. Kahn's attempt to trivialize his conduct is not creditable given the unrelenting
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

53. Mr. Kahn and Mr. George filed the Ex Parle Motion in bad faith, as it
demonstrated a conscious doing of a wrcing for a dishonest and malicious purpose. Their actions
were taken in part to slander title, and to ·make it difficult or impossible for He1vytia to continue
its sales of lots. Their intent to harm Helvetia in this manner showed an improper motive.
Mr. Kahn's testimony demonstrated his subjective state of mind: he knew, and Intended) for the
filing to stop Helvetia from further aot sales. 103
54. Mr. Kahn has openl~ admitted his motivation in filing the Ex Parle Motion was to
interfen:: with Helvetia and to stop further sales of lots. Mr. Kahn is knowledgeable about title
companies and title searches, and ·intended his conduct to chill Helvetia's future sales of its
property. to4
55, Mr. Kahn knew or should have known, by proper investigation, that Mr. Moore's
signature was not forged, and that Mr. Baggett was not reputable and could not reasonably
provide an opinion contrary to Mr. Moore's own testimony.
56. The Court can infer Mr. Kahn was additionally motivated by retaliation or
~ vindication, or part of a strategy to cause Helvetia to expend more fees and costs and drive it to
~
, I
/
the settlement table.
57. Mr. Kahn was moti~ated to claim ownership of Helvetia because after he was

No. 04-11-00444-CV, San Antonio, Mar. 20, 2013, citing Low v. Henry, 221 S.W.3d 609, 614-

party has failed to comply with this requirement." Bravenec, citing Nolte v. Flournoy, 348
S.W.3d 262, 269 (Tex. App. -Texarkana 201 t, pet. denied).
59. Chapter 10 thus pennits the Court to sanction a party or an attorney for filing
pleadings that lack a reasonable basis in law or fact. See TEX. C1v. PRAC. & REM. CODE §
10.001-.006; Low, 221 S.W.3d at 614. The Court may impose sanctions if the Court finds that
the party has failed to comply 1vith any one of the requirements of Section 10.001 of the Texas
Civil Practices & Remedies Code. TEX. C1v. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 10.004(a); Nolte, 348
S.W.3d at 269.
60. For reasons previously described, and incorporated by reference, sanctions may
be imposed against Mr. Kahn under Chapter 10 of the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code.
~
The evidence shows that Mr. Kahn and Mr. George are both culpable and that both should be
6 sanctioned for their conduct but as with Rule 13 the Court is precluded from assessing sanctions
7 against Mr. George.
q 61. More particularly, the Ex Parle Motion was filed for an improper purpose, and it
4
Jacks any evidentiary support as shown herein. Section 51. 903 builds in an award of sanctions if
v
0
L a party seeks a finding not in compliance with the statute; Mr. Kahn and Mr. George orchestrated
~ the hearing to be ex parte despite Helvetia's contemporaneous attempts to secure a hearing on a
~ TRO that would have precluded Mr. Kahn's filing; Mr. Kahn filed the pleading without any
p
G authority; and his ownership claims are neither factually or legally supported.
FINAL JUDGMENT AND ORDER OF SANCTIONS Page 25 of29
E. Court's Inherent Power to Sanctions
62. The Court has inherent power to impose sanctions. Assessing sanctions under
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.
63. For reasons and findings previously discussed, sanctions are appropriate against
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,

FINAL JUDGMENT AND ORDER or SANCTIO,NS Page 26 of29
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
0 quo.'' Mr. Kahn drafted the pleading and his affidavit, and ]ocated and hired a handwriting
4
6 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
FrNAL JUDGMENT AND ORDER Of SANCTIONS Page 27 of29
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.io6
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
0 to satisfy its legitimate purposes, here, namely, to deter other litigants from simi]ar misconduct
4
62 and punish violators. 107
'! Accordingly, it is herehy ORDERED, ADJUSTED AND DECREED as foJlows:
~ (l) Sanctions be and hereby are awarded against Burton Kahn and Terry George,
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.

The remaining $100,000.00 is imposed as sanctions for lack of diligence into the facts and the

(2) All other relief not expressly granted hereby is denied. The Court's intent is that
this instrument be in all things a Final Judgment and Order.
