Plaintiff's Civil Case Ties to Bankruptcy Proceeding
It may be worth noting that linked to the civil case 4:08-cv-03708 is plaintiff/debtor Deborah R. Dolen’s bankruptcy case 4:09-BK-30452 in Houston, where Julie Ryals, Mary Joanne Kidd, Jeffery Kidd, and Mary Harvey, defendants in the currently stayed civil case 4:08-cv-03708 were individually listed as creditors in plaintiff/debtor’s pending Chapter 7 bankruptcy case 4:09-BK-30452 -- prior to being served in the civil case. Under those circumstances, clearly, plaintiff Deborah R. Dolen (aka Mabel White) would benefit by obtaining either default judgments against the defendants in the civil case (if they did not file an answer), or sanctions against them in the bankruptcy case (if they did). Stating that none of the defendants were actual creditors, creditor/defendants’ motion to object to and obtain a relief from the bankruptcy stay, citing plaintiff/debtor’s calculated “gaming” and misuse of the legal system, was filed with the bankruptcy court on April 20, 2009. In addition to filing a motion to proceed pro se in the bankruptcy proceeding, plaintiff/Debtor Deborah Dolen (aka Mabel White) has, in turn, filed a motion opposing defendants’ motion, claiming the defendants’ answers in the civil suit were a violation of her bankruptcy stay, and asking that defendants’ motion in the bankruptcy court be thrown out and ignored -- citing that the creditors’/defendants’ motion to object was “stupid” and “lame.” Plaintiff/debtor also motions that the bankruptcy court seize jurisdiction over the administratively closed civil case, hear the case, and make a ruling against all defendants.
While plaintiff/debtor has been safeguarded by the bankruptcy court’s current protective stay, defaming website postings and threats via websites and forums have been regularly published by the plaintiff and make unfounded allegations in relation to not only the individual defendants, but their legal counsel as well -- leaving defendants in a position of being unable to obtain injunctive relief from such activity in civil court due to being subjected to sanctions in the bankruptcy court. Published web “testimony” by plaintiff Deborah Dolen on julieryals.com (as of May 14, 2009) includes not only a misleading and counterfeit Court “Order,” and falsified affidavit of service, but also hearsay assertions of “facts,” as well as libel per se, criminal libel, defamation, and other efforts clearly aimed at damaging the reputation(s), safety, and welfare of the defendants.
Plaintiff, Deborah Dolen, has also admittedly declared and published on the julieryals.com website a libelous and defamatory “affidavit” copy of her “Texas Bar Complaint” against defendants’ attorney. The Texas Bar reviewed the Plaintiff's complaint and accordingly responded that they found Plaintiff’s allegations to be baseless.
