Pro Se Defendant Fails MISERABLY Trying to Stop Eviction

Описание: Pro Se Defendant Tries Sovereign-Style Arguments to Stop Eviction — Judge Shuts It Down

This courtroom hearing captures a tense and revealing eviction proceeding following a foreclosure involving Choice One Bank and L&M Family Investments LLC. What begins as a routine summary proceeding quickly turns into a clash of legal realities, misunderstood doctrines, and sovereign-citizen-style arguments.

The bank, represented by attorney John Tucker, lays out the paper trail: a 2019 commercial loan, multiple bank mergers, a mortgage default, foreclosure by advertisement, and the expiration of the six-month redemption period. With that redemption period expired, Choice One Bank asserts its legal right to possession of the property located at 305 West Elizabeth Street in Stockbridge, Michigan.

On the other side, Michael and Leah Dalton appear in court without counsel, attempting to challenge the eviction by raising arguments about:

A separate federal case still pending

Alleged errors in court filings

Claims of federal land patents, allodial title, and “highest form of title”

Assertions that the case belongs in a “court of law” rather than equity

Claims that Michigan has abolished common-law jury trials

The judge methodically addresses each argument, explaining:

Why multiple lawsuits can exist at the same time

Why an LLC must be represented by a licensed attorney

Why Michigan courts have been courts of both law and equity since 1850

Why the right to a jury trial was waived by failing to request it properly

Why concepts like allodial title and federal land patents have no legal effect in Michigan foreclosure law

The hearing concludes with the court granting judgment of possession to Choice One Bank, clearing the way for eviction. The judge’s closing remarks underscore a recurring theme in modern courtrooms: legal myths do not override settled law, no matter how passionately they’re argued.

This video is a real-world example of how foreclosure law works, how summary proceedings function, and how unconventional legal theories fare when tested in an actual courtroom.
