- **6/9/25 8:34 PM**: Respondent acknowledged receipt, stating:
> *"Ive reviewed the disclosures youve provided and found material errors"* (Exhibit 1).
- **6/16/25 & 7/10/25**: Respondent told Court:
> *"Respondent has not provided financial disclosures"* (Exhibits 2, 3).
2. **False Claims About Mediation Cancellation**
- **Truth**: Cancellation resulted from:
- Schedulers failure to notify Complainant (Exhibit 4)

- Later claimed "Respondents failure to provide disclosures" (Exhibit 6)
3. **False Claims About Compliance Deadlines**
