Good morning, Your Honor.
I am representing myself today, so I ask for your patience.
I respectfully ask the Court to consider this case. In City of Chicago v. Fulton, 592 U.S. 154 (2021), the court held that merely retaining estate property seized before the bankruptcy filing does not violate the automatic stay under § 362(a)(3).
I respectfully ask the Court for more time to resolve this.
Thank you, Your Honor, for hearing me. I am ready to answer your questions.
