[00:08:06]Any objection to the court having reviewed that report?

[00:08:08]>> No, your honor.

[00:08:11]>> Based upon a review of that report, the court does find that there's sufficient basis in which the court could determine the defendant's guilt of this offense.

[00:08:18]Adise you that if you commit misconduct is finding the Michigan court rules between the time I accept your plea and the time of sentencing, the court that you would not be permitted to withdraw your plea and the court would not be bound by any sentence recommendation or evaluation.

[00:10:44]>> Yes, sir.

[00:10:44]>> Um when do that?

[00:10:48]>> Um okay. Um the last time I was in court um I talked with um the Hawk organization. I talked with Felicia Sykes. um that what the attorney said is correct, but um things didn't change as of today. I talked with Hawk. Um I've did in >> When did you last talk with Hawk?

[00:11:08]>> Today. I talked with Miss Alicia Sykes.

[00:11:10]I also talked with Miss Sydney. Um can't think of her last name.

[00:11:16]>> What did they tell you?

[00:11:17]>> Well, um I I've paid um over $1,000 this month. So, my remainder balance is $2,996 and some change. Um, I talked with Alicia Sykes today.

[00:11:45]>> Uh this was about uh I want to say about 9 10 o'clock this morning.

[00:11:59]>> Sure. All right. Why don't you have a seat?

[00:12:02]>> Yes, sir. Thank you, your honor. That's the problem with this paper thing that they have now cuz things can change and it was much better when we had Amy present.

[00:12:13]I guess that's not up to me. Gside Lake one and two versus Leia Williams.

[00:12:22]and Kuran Williams. Ron Williams. Uh, okay. I have you received their check for 3,000?

[00:12:48]Well, I I have their balance as $1,660.

[00:12:57]That'd be April.

[00:13:03]>> Yeah. The $3,000 check came in on the 3rd of April, or maybe it was the 2nd of April.

[00:13:13]Um it was applied to the ledger.

[00:13:17]So yes balances um >> is our April ramp.

[00:13:22]>> Yeah.

[00:13:25]>> Oh boy.

[00:13:30]Okay. So here's part of the problem.

[00:13:32]Part of the problem is she's not here cuz she's always here.

[00:13:39]She's not here because she got her balance down to 3,000.

[00:13:43]They said they were going to pay it. She believes that she's clear. I'm sure of it.

[00:13:50]>> My notes from the last hearing indicated that she was going to pay April by the third.

[00:13:55]>> Oh, she was that.

[00:13:57]>> Okay. I don't have that.

[00:14:01]Um, let's do this because otherwise what's going to happen if I I don't think I could properly dismiss it.

[00:14:11]Um, let's try to give her another shot to come in cuz since we're just dealing with April cuz we were much further behind.

[00:14:23]Um, let me adjourn it out to the 17th at at 100 p.m.

[00:14:33]Let's see. And if she doesn't show up or doesn't pay, then I'll deal with it then.

[00:14:44]Golf site lake one and two versus the one winter mate >> what was >> h >> sorry what was the last name >> winter mate that you may not think I said this for a writ hearing Um, oh, I do. It looks like they paid.

[00:15:15]That's why you may not have anything.

[00:15:17]And your office sent in a satisfaction.

[00:15:20]>> Yeah.

[00:15:20]>> So, case is satisfied.

[00:15:32]Also, I like one and two versus Deion Brown.

[00:15:41]Hello, your honor. I'm Deion Brown.

[00:15:43]>> Yes, sir. How are you?

[00:15:44]>> Doing well.

[00:15:45]>> All right.

[00:15:48]Let's see. Where is he now?

[00:15:51]>> $1,06.

[00:15:54]I had a note from my client indicating there was that Mr. indicated there.

[00:16:04]>> Yes. So I have 620 in escrow length requested that would be released.

[00:16:18]>> Yeah. And how much is your monthly rent?

[00:16:22]>> 675.

[00:16:27]>> Okay.

[00:16:28]So you paid this on the Okay. And then I made a another payment on the 9th.

[00:16:36]>> So you paid another payment on the 9th to the landlord.

[00:16:40]>> I did it online.

[00:16:42]It was 4 something. I'm not exactly the exact amount, but I emailed um >> Hold on a second. You paid some 400 on the 9th yesterday.

[00:16:51]>> Yeah, I paid after the 620 whatever the remaining balance was. That's what that's what was paid on the 9th.

[00:16:58]>> Got it. I [clears throat] see what you're saying.

[00:17:01]So, do you see that?

[00:17:05]>> Um, >> yes, I see $445 paid. So, it would leave the balance at um 6006 >> 665.

[00:17:24]Okay. So, and I have 620. Um, so you're about $645 you said. So you're about $25 short.

[00:17:33]>> So technically the late fee is being waved because I paid it before the 10th.

[00:17:37]I already talked to Melissa. She emailed me. I have the copy of the email. She said she would email the lawyer to let her know.

[00:17:43]>> Okay, here's where I went.

[00:17:45]>> Okay, you got that in. So what I'm going to do is release the 620 to the plaintiff.

[00:17:56]I'll adjourn this out one week, okay?

[00:17:59]And let them because I'm talking about $25. So, let that get settled. If it doesn't go that way, just pay the 25 if you got it. Okay.

[00:18:09]>> She told me that the funds had to be released from escrow first before she could remove late fee.

[00:18:14]>> All right. I'm releasing it today. I don't know when it'll get there. I'll adjourn it out to the 17th, 2026 at >> 100 p.m. Okay. So hopefully that check can get there.

[00:18:27]She waves that, then you're all set.

[00:18:30]Okay.

[00:18:30]>> All right.

[00:18:30]>> If if you are, then I don't need to see you.

[00:18:33]>> Okay.

[00:18:34]>> Okay. But you might want to check before you don't show up.

[00:18:38]>> If it's >> just check and make sure they receive the check.

[00:18:41]>> Okay. Thank you.

[00:18:42]>> Got it. Got it.

[00:18:42]>> All right. Fell. Have a good weekend.

[00:18:44]>> All right. Have a good weekend.

[00:18:47]>> Strong future homes versus Ashley Wacon.

[00:18:51]Not sure. Ashley WAC. Oh, there she is.

[00:18:59]>> Hello, >> hello, >> Ashley Wman.

[00:19:03]>> All right. She just had Well, what what do you have as her bow?

[00:19:10]>> I have $2728.

[00:19:17]>> Okay. So, she's under the three. You had her intake appointment with Hawk on seven.

[00:19:22]>> Yes. They told me that all I had to do is bring in or send in the paperwork. I The only reason I haven't done that yet is because I received the paper yesterday. Do I owe like a security deposit?

[00:19:33]>> Pardon?

[00:19:34]>> I see I received like the paper from the uh courts and it says I have a $300 security deposit too. So that's why I haven't turned that in.

[00:19:44]>> 300 deposit.

[00:19:47]>> Yeah. which is really weird because I've lived there for like six years. I don't know why I have another security deposit.

[00:19:53]>> I'm a second.

[00:19:55]>> It was like 300.

[00:19:58]>> Pardon?

[00:20:00]>> Yeah. And I don't see anything on the complaint.

[00:20:03]>> There a way to get a paper from here that shows how much I can send it into Alicia because that's the only issue is that the paper I have says I owe $353 security deposit.

[00:20:16]I don't know where that paper's coming from, ma'am. Only and the reason I say that is I'm looking at a copy of the complaint >> and it doesn't say anything about a security deposit.

[00:20:28]>> That's really weird cuz the first paper I got, it didn't have no it had like one cent is what I owed on security deposit.

[00:20:36]And then the paper I got just yesterday.

[00:20:38]>> Is that coming from the landlord or is it coming from >> I think the landlord.

[00:20:43]>> Okay. So, I don't know anything about them.

[00:20:47]>> Okay.

[00:20:47]>> Okay. So, what they want you to turn in is the complaint that you received.

[00:20:55]>> Okay.

[00:20:56]>> I think that's the paperwork that Hawk is looking for.

[00:21:00]>> Yeah. They said that from the courts of what I owed. So, >> yes. So, they're going to want a copy of the complaint. You would have gotten one by mail.

[00:21:09]You would have gotten two by mail and then one would have been delivered to you somehow.

[00:21:15]>> Okay. I got them all at once actually.

[00:21:17]>> Yeah. Okay. Um >> I So that's >> I'm going to suggest you do is get that paperwork, get clear with Hawk what they want, but I think they want your complaint.

[00:21:28]>> Okay.

[00:21:28]>> And they're going to want a ledger of some type that either they'll get from the landlord or or from you.

[00:21:34]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:21:35]>> So, you might what I'm going to suggest you do is go down to your landlord, get a copy of your current ledger >> and your paperwork that from the court and get that to them.

[00:21:45]>> Okay.

[00:21:46]>> Okay.

[00:21:47]>> That show issued the check. So, that's awesome, >> right? I I I'm sure that's what they're looking for. They're just looking for that current balance. So, let me adjourn this out to the 17th, 2026 at 100 p.m.

[00:21:59]>> Thank you.

[00:22:00]>> And let's see where we are. But make sure to get that work paperwork down to them. Okay. All right. Thank you.
