working for Platten. Emerson did not look for work - other than in
the accounting field - before he began working for Platten.
After hearing this evidence, the trial court issued the following detailed findings in
accordance with Rule 145(f)(6):
Emerson testified that his law school grades were good and that he was eligible to return. 1. PLAINTIFF HAS FILED MULTIPLE LAWSUITS IN THE 402ND DISTRICT COURT, EACH ALLEGING SIMILAR INCIDENTS AGAINST THE SAME OR SIMILAR DEFENDANTS. THE PLEADINGS FILED BY PLAINTIFF IN EACH OF THESE LAWSUITS ARE EXTREMELY AND UNUSUALLY VOLUMINOUS, CONTAINING HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PAGES.
2. IT APPEARS TO THE COURT THAT THE PLAINTIFF IS INTENTIONALLY RUNNING UP THE COSTS IN THESE CASES DUE TO THE VOLUMINOUS PLEADINGS WHICH ARE EITHER REDUNDANT OR UNNECESSARY TO PURSUE ANY OF HIS CAUSES OF ACTION.
3. PLAINTIFF PAID $1,915 IN COURT COSTS IN ONE OF HIS OTHER LAWSUITS (NOT INCLUDED IN THIS HEARING OR ORDER) IN THE 402ND DISTRICT COURT IN 2019 WITH NO CLAIM OF INABILITY TO PAY COSTS.
4. PLAINTIFF HAS AN ACCOUNTING DEGREE.
5. WHILE PLAINTIFF HAS ATTENDED LAW SCHOOL, HE IS NOT LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW.
6 PLAINTIFF HAS DONE AND CONTINUES TO DO RESEARCH AND APPELLATE WORK FOR ATTORNEY ERIC PLATTEN AT A RATE OF $75.00 AN HOUR (A FACT THAT HE DOES NOT INCLUDE IN HIS SWORN AFFIDAVIT OR INABILITY TO PAY COSTS).
7. PLAINTIFF HAS ALSO WORKED AS A FEDERAL FLOOD ADJUSTER AND IS STILL QUALIFIED TO PERFORM SUCH WORK.
8. PLAINTIFF EARNED $200,000 WITHIN A FOUR MONTH PERIOD OF TIME IN 2017.
9. BETWEEN JULY AND OCTOBER OF 2019, PLAINTIFF MADE WIRE TRANSFERS FROM HIS "ALLY" BANK ACCOUNT. $1,162.07 WAS TRANSFERRED ON AUGUST 9, 2019. $5,732.41 WAS TRANSFERRED ON JULY 2, 2019. THESE WIRE TRANSFERS ALSO APPEAR ON THE RECORDS PROVIDED BY PLAINTIFF'S "FIDELITY INVESTMENT" RECORDS.
10. ALSO EVIDENT FROM THE DOCUMENTS PROVIDED BY PLAINTIFF THROUGH THE "FIDELITY INVESTMENT" DOCUMENTS IS A $9,549.54 WIRE TRANSFER DATED APRIL 17, 2019 AND ANOTHER WIRE TRANSFER IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,773.13 DATED MAY 15, 2019.
11. THE RECORD IS UNCLEAR AS TO THE ORIGIN OR DISPOSITION OF THESE FUNDS, BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT PLAINTIFF HAD ACCESS TO SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME.
12. PLAINTIFF CONTENDS TO HAVE MINIMAL BALANCES IN HIS "ALLY" ACCOUNT. NO EVIDENCE OF HIS CURRENT BALANCE IN THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN OFFERED BY PLAINTIFF. EVIDENCE FROM THE "FIDELITY INVESTMENT" ACCOUNT ESTABLISHES LARGE SUMS OF MONEY GOING INTO AND OUT OF THAT ACCOUNT. THE BURDEN TO SHOW THE LACK OF FUNDS RESTS SOLELY ON THE PLAINTIFF. PLAINTIFF FAILED TO MEET THAT BURDEN. THUS, THE INFERENCE WOULD WEIGH AGAINST A FINDING OF INABILITY TO PAY.
13. PLAINTIFF HAS FURTHER SHOWN HIS "ABILITY" TO MAKE PAYMENTS OF $1,718.46 (JULY 3, 2019) AND $1,313.28 (JULY 3, 2019) IN AMEX EPAYMENTS, $107.00 (AUGUST 26, 2019) TO "HOLLYWOOD NAILS" IN LONGVIEW, TEXAS AND $85.00 (JULY 9, 2019) TO "NAILS BY AMY[."] PLAINTIFF HAS CHOSEN TO MAKE SUCH EXPENDITURES WHILE REFUSING TO PAY THE COURT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FILING
