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 Hall v. Meisner, 51 F.4th 185 (6th Cir. 2022), the court held that a homeowner's equity in property taken for a smaller tax debt is protected property, and taking it without compensation states a federal takings claim.
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.
