25 25 2 pgs order Order Tue 02/04 3:22 PM
ORDER REGARDINNG DEPOSIT OF SILVER COINS The Court held a status conference in this matter today, February 4, 2025. Defendants Patrick Pipkin and Bryan Hammon appeared. Mr. Pipkin preferred to be referred to as The Man Patrick and Mr. Hammon as The Man Bryan. The Court explained that, under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Defendants were required to file a formal answer to the Complaint. The Court gave the Defendants three weeks, until February 25, 2025, to do so. At the conclusion of the hearing, The Man Patrick said he was leaving a stack of silver coins with the Court, presumably as payment for any filing fee for any counterclaims he may choose to file. The Court strongly encouraged The Man Patrick not to leave the coins because the Court could not do anything with them. Notwithstanding the Courts directive to the contrary, the Man Patrick left a plastic container containing what appear to be twelve 1 Troy Ounce silver coins with the courtroom deputy. After the hearing, the Court verified with the courtroom deputy the number of coins and what they appeared to be. Based on an internet search, one ounce of silver is today worth $31.43 cents, meaning stack of coins is worth approximately $377.16. The Court has no way of processing these coins or using them to pay for any filing or other fees Defendants may incur. The Man Patrick is invited to return to the Court and retrieve the coins. Until that time, the Clerk of Court is directed to place thecoins in a secure location in the Clerks office maintaining them under the above case number. by Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter on 2/4/2025. (norlin, )
