06/24/2026273ECF No. [272] is hereby STRICKEN in accordance with ECF No. [207] as not having been authorized by the Court before filing. The Court would further note that no request to file the Motion was made at all. Therefore, Mr. Budri's action constitutes contempt of the Court. The Court would further note that this Motion is duplicative of ECF No. 186, which was denied by that certain Amended Order entered on 5/29/26 at ECF No. 245, and also duplicative of ECF No. 199, which was denied by that certain Order entered on 5/05/26 at ECF No. 207. In accordance with the Court's oral ruling on 6/3/26, the Court shall consider whether sanctions should follow from this violation as part of its decision on ECF No. 232.

(RE: related document(s) [266] Hearing held on 6/3/2026. (RE: related document(s)[232] Sua Sponte Order for Adriano Budri to Appear Before the Court on June 3, 2026, at 9:30A.M. and Show Cause Why He Should Not Be Held in Contempt of Court and/or Further Sanctioned for Violation of Court Orders. Show Cause hearing to be held on 6/3/2026 at 09:30 AM at Dallas Judge Larson Ctrm. ORDERED that any request to appear virtually or telephonically by Mr. Budri is and shall be DENIED; it is further ORDERED that no written response to this Order is required. However, Mr. Budri shall be allowed one, singular filing to respond to this Order by June 1, 2026. Any response beyond that shall be stricken sua sponte; it is further ORDERED that any further and/or continued violations of the Vexatious Litigant Order or the Reconsideration Order by Mr. Budri shall be considered in connection with any further sanctions imposed upon conclusion of the hearing on June 3, 2026; and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order on Mr. Budri via first-class mail at 5029 County Road 605, Burleson, TX 76028, and via e-mail at abudri64@gmail.com. Entered on 5/15/2026) (Hearing Held: Counsel appeared for the Debtor and the Office of the United States Trustee. Adriano Budri appeared pro se by telephone in violation of Courts order to appear in person. Subchapter V Trustee (F.Smith) appeared. A. Budri and F. Smith testified. For the reasons set forth on the record, Mr. Budri found to be in contempt of Court for failing to appear in person. Mr. Budri was authorized to file a sworn declaration under seal under the penalty of perjury to explain to the Court in detail what medical condition he alleges prevents him from in person or video attendance on 6/3/26, along with whatever transportation issues he alleges he has. See Dkt. No. 255. Mr. Budri was forewarned that generalized claims of unspecified medical issues and financial issues will not suffice. Mr. Budri submitted a declaration, which was thereafter sealed. That declaration contained no disclosure of any identifiable symptom or medical condition. Likewise, the declaration contained no detail on why Mr. Budri could not travel to this hearing or the prior one (where in person attendance was commanded), absent a generalized statement of financial hardship. Mr. Budri testified that his car had bad brakes (within last two weeks), but readily admitted that he uses car locally. Court found Mr. Budris testimony to lack credibility under the circumstances and that his lack of attendance after subjecting the Court and the parties to dozens upon dozens of pleadings and email correspondence to be purposeful recalcitrance. Court further found Mr. Budri in contempt for violation of Court orders. As will be more fully set forth in a written opinion, Mr. Budri has violated, inter alia, the Vexatious Litigant Order, the Reconsideration Order and numerous other court directives regarding filing pleadings and communicating with the Court. Mr. Budris communications and pleadings have been detrimentally persistent, duplicative, harassing and vexatious filings. They have cost the estate tens of thousands of dollars. Sanctions to be determined by written opinion. Mr. Budri cautioned that Courts prior orders remain in effect and that it reserves the right to address any further violations subsequent to hearing in its written opinion.)).
