LIT COMMENTARY
On Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, LIT released a tweet which states; Coming up on LIT: Shocking facts and case studies on the current criminal activity endorsed by the US Gov for implementation by Federal Judges and Wall Street’s Creditor Rights lawyers. Truth that will shake American homeowners to the core. Stay tuned. #TruthRevealed #USJustice
This published foreclosure case is part of the live reporting and investigation, which is explained, in part, below:
LIT’s inquiry delves into the prevailing standards governing foreclosures, Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs), Injunctions, evictions, and appeals. Drawing from rigorous analysis of factual case studies and a wealth of data amassed over years of investigation, LIT’s insights are prominently featured on this legal blog, LawsInTexas.com.
The initial confusion stemming from the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, wherein the US Government, hand in hand with the judiciary, orchestrated the mass seizure of millions of homes, is a focal point of LIT’s examination.
LIT refrains from extensively elaborating on the myriad frauds that transpired initially, such as lender application fraud and predatory lending which resulted in the financial crisis, and thus leading to counterfeit assignments, robo-signing, document falsification, perjury, and the unlawful actions of the Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS) in foreclosing on homesteads.
Instead, LIT steers the discussion toward the avarice evident within the legal profession and the complicit role of the judiciary in perpetuating fraud in real estate and title deed matters, beyond the scandals within their own administration.
LIT’s live reporting and investigation is published in real-time, as it probes into the motivations driving the US Government’s directive for the judiciary to adopt predatory practices in the latter part of 2023 and throughout 2024—an inquiry to which LIT claims to hold the key answers.
In the ongoing saga of foreclosure proceedings the close circle of foreclosure defense lawyers along with the creditor rights attorney’s and the judges in both state and federal court, have protected Conrell Hadley’s second homestead from foreclosure as a sign of their power against prosecution.
The state issued TRO to halt the Jan 2023 auction of the property has never been upgraded to a temporary injunction in either state or federal court. As the TRO has well and truly expired, the lender/mortgage servicer can foreclose, based on the latest actions LIT is witnessing in Texas federal courts, and where this case was removed.
Indeed, there has been no foreclosure auction set since the expiry of the TRO. Instead of relisting the foreclosure, creditor rights law firm Bradley arrived some months later and removed the action to federal court on March 31, 2023.
In the intervening 11 months, the case has remained on the docket without a motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment, nor any motions for sanctions from Bradly, nor any order to show cause why this frivolous lawsuit is before the court by Judge Andrew Hanen, SDTX.

HADLEY, CONRELL vs. CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES LLC
(Court 152, JUDGE ROBERT K. SCHAFFER)

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON (FKA THE BANK OF NEW YORK AS TRUSTEE FOR vs. HADLEY, CONRELL
(Court 011, JUDGE KRISTEN BRAUCHLE HAWKINS)
APR 28, 2022 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: SEP 28, 2022
CANYON SHORE PROPERTY
Hadley purchased 4835 CANYON SHORE DR HUMBLE TX 77396 on June 28, 2006 for around $329k. He ran into trouble in repayin’ this $3k per month mortgage as well, filing the first lawsuit in Harris County District Court via his then attorney, Ray Shackelford.
This first suit, styled HADLEY, CONRELL vs. AMERICA’S SERVICING COMPANY, 201207380 (2012-2013) would be dismissed for want of prosecution on March 13, 2013.
The second suit, styled HADLEY, CONRELL vs. AMERICA’S SERVICING COMPANY, 201411041 (2014), file by – you guessed it – Shackelford, fizzled too.
FOX MESA LANE PROPERTY
Hadley’s HELOC [secured] loan of $72K was recorded in October 2004 (per 5th Cir. opinion in 2021) against his now second [rental] home at 6908 FOX MESA LANE, HUMBLE, TX 77338.
In effect, from 1 July 2006 – 1 Oct 2022 Hadley has has the opportunity to generate rental income on the Fox HOA property. He also had an obligation to advise the mortgage servicer, who would most likely have increased his mortgage rate and require updated loan paperwork, etc. Whether Hadley disclosed this to the lender, or on his annual tax returns is unknown.
According to the 5th Circuit summary, he defaulted on those payments ($536 p.m.) and “Defendants first sent him a notice of acceleration of the loan on July 15, 2010”, meaning he defaulted before that date. LIT research shows that he actually stopped paying sometime in 2009 (per plaintiff’s own complaint, filed by Houston attorney Ray L. Shackelford).
HADLEY, CONRELL vs. DITECH FINANCIAL LLC, 201683270 (2016 – 2017), would be the lawsuit removed to federal court, as noted by the Fifth Circuit in their 2021 opinion.
However, this was actually his second lawsuit.
The first lawsuit would be in 2012, styled HADLEY, CORNELL vs. BAC HOME LOANS SERVICINGS L P and BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, 201223108.
Undeterred, Hadley finally dumped lawyer Ray Shackelton and retained Jeffrey Jackson for the third lawsuit, styled HADLEY, CONRELL vs. THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON (F/K/A THE BANK OF NEW YORK) AS TRUSTEE, 202038392.
Despite res judicata seeping all over the pleadings (again, per 5th Cir. Opinion), Jackson knew he’d not be sanctioned for filing a frivolous lawsuit on behalf of his new client. And he was correct.
Indeed, the 5th Cir. conveniently omitted the first lawsuit from their summary.
These facts duly recorded, and despite not paying on his note for 13 years, the 5th Circuit did not write in their 2021 Opinion words to the same effect as they illuminated against the elder, pro se Burkes (Hadley is age 60 at the time of this article);
“Given nearly a decade of free living by the Burkes, there is no injustice in allowing that foreclosure to proceed.”
Deutsche Bank Nat. Trust Co. v. Burke, 902 F.3d 548, 552 (5th Cir. 2018). Judge W. Eugene Davis is a recurring panel member in the Burke’s appeals and he’s also on Hadley’s 2021 appeal. Hadley’s Opinion is different, in-so-much as it is completely devoid of any threats, warnings or inexcusable remarks.
RUSTY ANCHOR (LAND)
In another Ray Shackelford filing in Harris County District Court, submitted June 3, 2016 and styled HADLEY, CONRELL vs. BAYVIEW LOAN SERVICING LLC, 201637306 (2016-2017), re purchase of undeveloped land at 18826 RUSTY ANCHOR CT HUMBLE TX 77346, was subject to litigation by Hadley. Here, the complaint alleges the loss of the land to a foreclosure resulted in a claim for damages, etc. There was a suggestion of Bankruptcy, which is listed below, but the court did not dispose of this lawsuit (Judge Ursula Hall, that’s expected).
Hey Congress,
When y’all gonna pass the Judicial Transparency and Ethics Enhancement Act, to bring these Outlaws in Dirty Black Robes, called judges, back into line? Judges are replacing democracy with tyranny, and they have no respect for Congress. https://t.co/L5fbbwJz27 pic.twitter.com/WDFC3oFGN6
