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 Cont'l Res. v. Fair, 317 Neb. 391 (2024), the court held that after Tyler, an owner whose property was taken by tax deed for a smaller debt may pursue a takings claim for the lost equity.
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.
