ORDERED: The Debtor's counsel, John Sodipo is directed to file a statement on the docket on this case indicating that he will attend the continued hearing, with such statement due by 4 p.m. on May 14, 2026; and it is further
ORDERED: Should the Debtor's counsel fail to file the required statement, the Court will issue a capias to secure his attendance; and it is further
ORDERED: At the hearing, the Court may, in addition to its previously stated issues, also consider the imposition of financial sanctions, the suspension of attorney privileges to practice in this Court, a referral to the state or federal grievance committees, disgorgement of any legal fees, remedial bankruptcy education, and the issuance of a finding of contempt of Court.
