Re: 3-09CV0988-F In Re Jeffrey Baron Receivership Order
Your Honor,
In case Your Honor is not fully aware of Peter Vogel’s billing practices, in an
abundance of caution I raise the matter to the Court’s attention. In a continuation of his
previous practice, Vogel has just billed thousands of dollars
to generate yet another
inflated and contrived controversy, as follows:
Recently, I informed Vogel that I was willing to assist him in distributing monthly
checks to Jeffrey Baron, but that I would need to be reimbursed for my time. I requested
a single hour’s fee. Jeff is unable to pay the fee as he has been ordered not to use any of
the monthly disbursement to pay any
attorneys’ fees.
Rather than responding in an honest, up-front, and professional manner, Vogel has
turned to his fee generation scheme and filed a 146 page ‘notice’ (Doc
871) which falsely
represents Vogel’s fabricated fiction passed off as truth that “Mr. Schepps is complaining
that he does not represent Mr. Baron and cannot
accept the monthly living-expenses
check.” (emphasis in original). In Vogel’s bogus ‘notice’, Vogel has clipped various out-
of-context material to ‘support’ his contrived ‘facts’ in a nine-page rant disparaging
counsel.
As receiver, Peter Vogel is a representative of the Court. Vogel’s fabricated facts,
manufactured billing, and personally directed invective should have no place in these
proceedings.
