LIT UPDATE & COMMENTARY
NOTICE of Appearance by John M. Gregory on behalf of PHH Mortgage Corporation, filed. (Gregory, John) (Entered: 03/08/2024)
Notably Mark Cronenwett remains on the docket as counsel, despite him moving to Lewis Brisbois. But this is Texas Federal Court and procedures and rules are there to be ignored for creditor rights lawyers – or applied stringently to pro se litigants.

On Oct 7, 2024 the Catholic Bandit belatedly departs, but not in the Lamell case, where he attended a bench trial yesterday, Dec. 9, 2024 with co-bounty hunter and former Mackie Wolf lawyer, Lopez.
