MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE: SECOND MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT
RECORD WITH NEWLY DISCOVERED EVIDENCE
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE ROYAL FURGESON:
COMES NOW JEFF BARON, and moves this Court to grant leave to file
the following motion to supplement the record with the evidence attached as
Exhibit A:
A. WHAT THIS EVIDENCE PROVES
EXHIBIT A - THE RECEIVER’S EMAIL
This email:
(1) Establishes that the receiver is not an impartial and indifferent person.
The email proves the receiver is clearly an advocate and not acting with
impartiality, and has therefore breached their duty as receiver and their
assessment is invalid because it is an assessment of an advocate. See
Texas American Bancshares, Inc. v. Clarke, 740 F.Supp. 1243, 1253
Case 3:09-cv-00988-L Document 519 Filed 05/05/11 Page 1 of 4 PageID 18668

(N.D.Tex.1990) (receiver “owes a duty of strict impartiality”).
(2) The email also establishes that receivers assessment has not been
reasonable, nor unbiased. For example:
a. The email proves that to the receivers assessment, evidence
that Mr. Lyons billing rate was $40.00 per hour is not
evidence” and does change the receivers assessment nor (to
the receivers mind) controvert Mr. Lyons claim for
payment at the rate of $300.00. The fact that Mr. Lyon was
paid at $40.00 per hour, and the evidence proves he was
billing at that rate, to the receiver isno evidence”.
Notably, the evidence the receiver views (and argues) as
no evidence” clearly and unambiguously establishes that
even after September 2010, Lyon was clearly charging
$40.00 per hour, not the $300.00 he is now claiming. In this
evidence Mr. Lyon, in his own words, states that his rate is
$40 per hour. He notes that allows ‘more bang for the
buck’. Yet, to the receivers view, this is not evidence
which controverts Mr. Lyon’s claim that his rate was
$300.00 per hour, and is therefore due over $75,000.00.

b. The receiver views the proof that after the global settlement
was reached Taylor made no claim to any additional
‘contingency’ fee due, and instead stated expressly “We'll
probably have a very small bill that will go out at the
first of September, but that should be the last one” as
no evidence” to controvert Taylor’s current claim that he
has a near $80,000.00 past due fee.
B. WHY THE EVIDENCE WAS NOT RAISED EARLIER
This material was in the exclusive possession of the receiver.
C. RELIEF REQUESTED
Jeff Baron requests the Court to consider this evidence with respect to the
Court’s consideration of the receivers motions.
Jointly and in the alternative Jeff Baron requests this Court to remove the
receiver as biased, and if a receiver is to be appointed, appoint an unbiased and
impartial receiver who is not an active advocate against Jeff.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: 3:09-cv-0988 re document 514 "Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order on Assessment and
Disbursement of Former Attorney Claims [Corrected Version]" filed by the Receiver
Dear Judge Furgeson:
I am attaching a Word version of the Receiver’s
Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order on
Assessment and Disbursement of Former Attorney Claims [Corrected Version]
.
This version supplants and
replaces two previous versions of the same document found at Docket Nos. 509 and 513.
In the version found at Docket No. 509, there is an inadvertent error in Paragraph 27 (an incorrect statement
that no declaration was attached to Jeff Baron’s
Motion for Leave to File: Motion to Supplement Record with
Newly Discovery Evidence
). The correction eliminates the highlighted language below in paragraph 27.
27. Five days after the Hearing, on May 3, 2011, Baron filed a document entitled
ion for Leave to Supplement Record with Newly Discovered Evidence. (“Supplement to the
Record”) Docket No. 507.] The Court grants the motion for leave and permits the record to be
includes no evidence to controvert the Admitted Evidence since it, too, lacks any declarations or
any other type of evidence.
In the version found at Docket No. 513, the Receiver corrected the inadvertent error in Paragraph 27 described
above but failed to change the title to note “CORRECTED VERSION”
and did not provide an explanatory
footnote like the one found at footnote 1 in the present (corrected) version attached.
The Receiver apologizes for this inconvenience.
Thank you.
