Ajouté : 2026-05-14

[00:00:00]No.

[00:00:03]Counsel, can you state your appearance?

[00:00:06]Good afternoon, Your Honor. Attorney Samantha Sprague, P1931, appearing on behalf of the plaintiff.

[00:00:11]Your name? Sabrina Jackson. Good Good afternoon. Good afternoon. All right.

[00:00:15]Where are we on her case?

[00:00:18]Uh yes, Your Honor. There is an attorney that has filed a limited scope of of engagement in this matter. We have been in discussions.

[00:00:25]Um there is a belief that Hawk and Hawk has stated to the Legal Aid um individual that there is a payment that's been made to the property.

[00:00:34]Um my client does not has not received that. And so, we're respectfully requesting a 2-week adjournment in order for us to review that alleged payment and see if we can locate it.

[00:00:46]>> Hold on.

[00:00:47]I guess so that I'm clear, you believe there was a payment made?

[00:00:51]So, I filed with an exhibit before court today of the correspondence between the Hawk representative and myself. She said there was a EFT payment made on I have an extra one here. If you had it had it in time. But it was saying how there was EFT payment made on the 1st for $3,000.

[00:01:11]However, there is a check block on my account. So, it I guess I don't know if the payment wasn't able to be made through directly. So, right now we're just trying to find out what happened to it.

[00:01:22]>> Okay, so here's this is why you know, say it again, why we need Amy.

[00:01:29]Because I have a spreadsheet that they provided to me.

[00:01:33]This spreadsheet for your case, let me make sure I'm looking has nothing.

[00:01:42]It doesn't even say that there was a check sent and that it Mhm.

[00:01:59]Mr. Van Turo, make a note of that for the next This is precisely what I was talking about.

[00:02:07]This is just if It doesn't make any sense because So You know Well, counselor, you think that your I I did receive the I did receive a copy of the email, your honor, and I do believe that uh um there's a discrepancy somewhere.

[00:02:36]Um my client has checked their records.

[00:02:39]They do not show receipt of it whatsoever. Additionally, no promissory letter was provided to my client, which is why they had initial regret. Um we're willing to weeks.

[00:02:49]Yeah, I'll adjourn it out 2 weeks, but just so that everybody's clear, what you're telling me would fit with what's on this sheet, and not what um this is Sorry, Ms. Jackson is telling Because she's telling me the 3,000 went And this sheet is telling me there's nothing, which is exactly what you got.

[00:03:14]So, I Yeah, okay. Never mind. I could be on my soapbox all day, and I'm just not going to do that.

[00:03:21]Cuz this is This is a wrong way to treat people.

[00:03:24]And these people need to understand that this is a court.

[00:03:28]And I get they're trying to help folks, but they really need to help folks, and sometimes we need a real life person to help me with that.

[00:03:37]Otherwise, I'll just start evicting people, and then they got to play catch up. Okay, now >> Not me. He's Okay, now he >> [laughter] >> Yeah, not you. I'm kidding.

[00:03:47]Uh no, it's just been really frustrating. Like even for this court case, I never got anything in the mail.

[00:03:52]I never got any notifications. I've called, I've reached out, there hasn't been any correspondence. I've I've tried to do my due diligence on what I had to do on my end, but it's scary. I have two small children now. I Seeing a note like that. That's exactly what I'm saying why I was kind of Thank you so much.

[00:04:08]That's why I Just so that you know where part of my I'll call it frustration comes from is we there's a monthly meet first Wednesday.

[00:04:20]And we don't find out we find out the courts, the judges find out by email that we're instead of having a real person here that can tell us something and investigate it, that we get this printout of what's going on in everybody's case. And I And my feeling on that is that's just wrong because if if you didn't show up and tell me or couldn't somehow articulate it there'd be an eviction.

[00:04:52]They don't get that.

[00:04:55]It wasn't easy. Huh? It wasn't easy.

[00:04:58]It was not an easy process, but yeah.

[00:05:01]No, I I got you. And it just You know, you can send me a piece of paper, but I'm dealing with human beings and they need to realize that.

[00:05:11]So, I'll just say this.

[00:05:15]24th is my next 2 weeks out. That's correct.

[00:05:20]April 24th, 2026, 3:00 p.m. Ms. Jackson, I'll just tell you this.

[00:05:27]Between now and then, certainly, nothing's going to happen to you. Thank you. We're going to figure it all out.

[00:05:33]I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I appreciate it.

[00:05:36]>> And that's before my next meet which will be the 6th.
