- Request for Stay, filed.
- Memorandum of Authorities, filed.
- The Court has reviewed, and DENIES, defendant Derek and Jordan Luangrath's "Motion to Stay Pending Appeal." The motion asks the Court to "Stay . . . This Court's Order dated 11-13-2024 pending appellate review of that Order." The Court did not issue any "order" on November 13, 2024. The Court did issue to plaintiff Randy A. Britton court four summonses, one for each of the defendants in this case. The Court is unaware of any rule that permits a defendant to "appeal" a trial court's issuance of a summons. The thrust of the Luangraths' motion is that the Essex Probate and Family Court has already decided the issues plaintiff Britton has raised in this case. If that's so, the Court will give the Luangraths a full opportunity to present that argument to this Court once they've answered Britton's complaint; but merely alleging that the Essex court has decided these issues already doesn't give the Luangraths the right to obtain a stay of their obligation under the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure to respond to this Court's summons.

- The Court has received Ms. Luangrath's Reply and Motion to Remove Lien. Since Ms. Luangrath is representing herself, the Court deems the "Reply" as Ms. Luangrath's answer to Mr. Britton's complaint and her "Motion" as a counterclaim. The Court ORDERS Mr. Britton to file a responsive pleading or motion in accordance with the content and timing requirements of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure. SO ORDERED.

- Alternative Dispute Resolution: Early Intervention Event held. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.
- Case management conference and initial intervention event held by telephone. Defendant Ounkham Luangrath appeared through counsel. The remaining parties appeared representing themselves. (Since many of the parties share the same last name, this order will refer to such parties by their first names.) Randy alleges he and Jane previously co-owned property at 81 Odell Ave in Beverly, MA. Randy claims Jane fraudulently conveyed her interest in the property to her sons Derek and Jordan; Randy wants that conveyance undone. Randy admitted that he hasn't brought claims against Ounkham at the moment; without opposition from Ounkham, the Court DISMISSES Ounkham as a party to this case without prejudice to any claims Randy may have against him. (The Court DENIES Ounkham's motion to make that dismissal with prejuduce.) Jane, Derek, and Jordan have counterclaimed against Randy; they seek declarations that his claimed 0.25% interest in the property and a claimed mortgage on the property are invalid. (The Court ORDERS Dereke and Jordan to file by December 19, 2024, a fully signed copy of their answer and counterclaims.) Randy has moved to dismiss Derek and Jordan's counterclaims but hasn't yet moved to dismiss Jane's counterclaim; the Court ORDERS Randy to file by December 26, 2024, that motion. The Court further ORDERS Jane, Derek, and Jordan to file by January 9, 2025, any oppositions to Randy's motions to dismiss their counterclaims. The Court ORDERS the parties (which no longer include Ounkham) to appear on January 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM, for a hearing by Zoom on Randy's motions. A separate notice of hearing will issue. The Court STAYS all discovery in this case until further order of the Court. Jordan agreed to receive notices from the Court, and service from the other parties, by electronic mail. SO ORDERED.

- Hearing held by videoconference on Mr. Britton's (1) motion to dismiss the counterclaims of Jane Luangrath, (2) motion to dismiss the counterclaims of Jordan and Derek Luangrath, and (3) motion for judgment on the pleadings against all defendants. Mr. Britton appeared representing himself. Defendants Jane, Derek, and Jordan Luangrath appeared representing themselves. (Since the Defendants share the same last name, this order will refer to each by their first names.) After hearing from the parties and for the reasons stated on the record, the Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART Mr. Britton's motion to dismiss Jane's counterclaims. The Court DISMISSES Jane's counterclaim pertaining to Mr. Britton's alleged unauthorized practice of law for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The Court DISMISSES Jane's claim of coercion for failing to state a claim; the facts she alleges in her counterclaims do not state a claim of coercion. The Court DENIES Mr. Britton's motion to dismiss Jane's counterclaims of undue influence and fraud. After hearing from the parties and for the reasons stated on the record, the Court DENIES Mr. Britton's motion to dismiss Jordan and Derek's counterclaims, as they have stated claims that the original conveyance from Jane to Mr. Britton and her grant to him of a mortgage in her interest in her home are (1) void for lack of performance of his contractual obligations to Jane and (b) void on account of a prior judgment of the Essex Probate and Family Court. The Court DENIES Mr. Britton's motion for judgment on the pleadings against all defendants since each defendant has at least one valid defense. The Court ORDERS the parties to complete all discovery (both fact and expert) by April 18, 2025. The Court further ORDERS the parties to appear on April 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM, for a status conference by Zoom. A separate notice of status conference will issue. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon.

- Randy Britton's Answer & Affirmative Defenses to Jane, Derek & Jordan Luangrath's Counterclaims, filed.
- Answer to Randy Britton Defenses and Discovery Documents, filed.
- On April 17, 2025, Derek and Jordan Luangrath filed an "Answer to Randy Brittons [sic] Defenses and Discovery Documents." With certain exceptions not relevant here, Rule 5(d)(2) of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure prohibits parties from filing discovery materials with the Court. To the extent the Luangraths' filing is to show what they or Mr. Britton provided in discovery, the Court DISREGARDS the "Answer." The "Answer" also includes a request that the Court "avoid the lien" Britton claims to hold on 81 Odell Avenue and declare that he has not other interest in the property. The Court will discuss with the parties at the April 28, 2025, the appropriate next steps in this case; the Court will thus take no action on the Luangraths' request at this time. For these reasons, the Court PROHIBITS the other parties from filling any response to the "Answer" without advance permission from the Court. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D. Notice of Docket Entry was generated and sent to: Plaintiff: Randy A Britton [email protected] Defendant: Derek Luangrath [email protected] Defendant: Jane Luangrath [email protected] Defendant: Jordan Luangrath [email protected] Sent On: 04/22/2025 08:13:41 Notice of Docket Entry sent to all parties by email from the Sessions Clerk.
- Event Resulted: Status Conference scheduled on: 04/28/2025 10:00 AM Has been: Held via video Hon. Michael D. Vhay, Presiding
- Status videoconference held. All parties appeared, each representing themselves. Mr. Britton claims that defendants have not responded to his discovery requests. With his agreement, the Court ORDERS Mr. Britton to file by May 9, 2025, any and all motions to compel discovery that's outstanding. The Court ADVISED the parties that Land Court Rules 7 and 8 apply to all such motions, and that Land Court Rule 7 requires the parties to confer in good faith in an effort to resolve any discovery disputes without the need of a motion to compel discovery. Defendants reported that they didn't serve any discovery requests on Mr. Britton. They also believe this case can be resolved on the papers, and without a trial. The Court postponed consideration of that issue until the Court has resolved all discovery disputes. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.

- Motion for Protective Order, filed.
- The Court has reviewed, and DENIES without prejudice to its renewal, Defendants' motion for a protective order. Rule 26(c) of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure governs protective orders, but Land Court Rule 7 requires any party who files a motion under Rule 26 to "confer in advance of filing [the] motion . . . in a good faith effort to narrow areas of disagreement to the fullest possible extent. The party who intends to file the motion shall be responsible for initiating the conference. All such motions shall contain a certificate stating that the conference required by this rule was held, together with the date and time of the conference and the names of the participating parties." Defendants' motion for a protective order does not contain the required certificate. The Court will treat the motion as "renewed" if and when Defendants file the required certificate. SO ORDERED.

The Court will not docket, however, an e-mail chain submitted by Mr. Britton showing the parties' communications over the motion (plus unrelated matters), as they are unnecessary for the Court to decide the motion. The Court ORDERS Defendants to file by June 6, 2025, any opposition to Mr. Britton's motion. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.

- Appendix to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Pursuan to Mss. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), (6), (9) and ((b) (In Complinace with Land Court Rule 4), filed.
- The Court has received Defendants' motion to dismiss. Pursuant to Rule 16, Mass. R. Civ. P., the Court will take no action on the motion at this time. Defendants didn't file the motion within 20 days of being sued in this case; instead, they answered Mr. Britton's complaint and filed counterclaims. The Court then ordered the parties to undergo discovery. Discovery was to be completed by April 18, 2025. Notwithstanding the issues presented in Mr. Britton's motion to compel discovery and Defendants' cross-motion for a protective order, the Court expects discovery to be over this summer. Once discovery is over, the Court will confer with the parties over how best to resolve the claims and counterclaims in this case. Defendants may propose at that time having the Court consider their motion to dismiss. The Court EXCUSES Mr. Britton from filing an opposition to Defendants' motion until such time as the Court determines that action on the motion is appropriate. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon.

The Court otherwise DENIES Mr. Britton's motion and GRANTS Defendants' motion for a protective order with respect to the "denied" items in Mr. Britton's motion.

During the hearing, Defendants moved for additional time to take discovery; for the reasons stated on the record, the Court DENIES the motion. The Court ORDERS the parties to appear on September 18, 2025, at 9:00 AM for a status videoconference. A separate notice of videoconference will issue. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.

- Affidavit of Indigency, filed.
- Randy Britton's Motion for an Extension of Time, filed.
- The Court has reviewed, and GRANTS in part, Mr. Britton's motion for an extension of time to file his opposition to Defendants' motion for a stay. The motion doesn't explain why or how the doctrine of "res judicata" bears on Defendants' stay motion, and thus the Court sees no need for Mr. Britton to obtain tapes or transcripts from either the Essex Superior or this Court to oppose effectively Defendants' stay motion. (If events in this or the Superior Court proceeding are material to Defendants' stay motion, Mr. Britton can present those facts by affidavit; the Court doesn't require a transcript: the Court has easy access to the recordings of all proceedings.) The Court nevertheless EXTENDS to October 24, 2025, the deadline for Mr. Britton to oppose Defendants' stay motion. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.
