RE: CRYSTAL N. HOPKINS (P70792) ATTORNEY OF RECORD FOR THE U.S.

EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION COURT CASE # 2:16-CV-
10291, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND BEVERLY TRAN V. DETROIT LAND BANK
AUTHORITY, et al., SEALED IN PART, AS INEFFECTIVE COUNSEL, FAILING TO HONOR
ORDER OF THE COURT, ALLEGDELY BREAKING THE SEAL BY COLLUDING WITH
DEFENDANTS TO ENGAGE IN FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES FOR PERSONAL
INUREMENT

On or about January 29, 2016, Crystal N. Hopkins was Noticed as Attorney of Record in the U.S.
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION COURT CASE # 2:16-CV-
10291, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND BEVERLY TRAN V. DETROIT LAND BANK
AUTHORITY, et al., SEALED IN PART, filed under seal as a qui tam, pursuant to the False Claims
Act.

Throughout the duration of the case, I have aggressively pursued administrative investigation into the
matters under seal as Ms. Hopkins refuses to respond to the emails, phone calls and text messages, at
this point.

Throughout the duration of the case, Crystal N. Hopkins has refused to execute her duties being
recognized as attorney of record, and has recently and clearly stated in emails and text messages that
she has no intention of representing me in this matter.

Unsuccessfully swaying her to file grant of leave to the court to discuss this matter with alternative
counsel, I have had absolutely no representation from her and have been severely impeded in my quest
to secure competent counsel.

As a result, the case is now unsealed, in part, to allow me to desperately pursue and secure alternative
representation in this matter, as time is of the essence, per the Order of April 18, 2017.

From the limited communications with Ms. Hopkins, it has come to light that she is engaging in illicit
activities with named defendants of the sealed case, most notably in her demonstration of knowledge in
the matter of COMPLAINT IN QUO WARRANTO TO DISSOLBE CORPORATION AND FOR
PERMANENT INJUCTION AND OTHER RELIEF, Michigan 30th Judicial Circuit Court Case
#: 17-325-CZ

Therefore, I approach this honorable body, questioning her mental competency to practice law in the
State of Michigan, further requesting investigation, referral to the proper authorities, disbarment and
possible sanctions and/or prosecution in this matter.

Lastly, it is my desire to preserve the public record as I am in fear for the safety and well-being of
my family and my life as this sealed matter continues under federal investigation.

With sincerity and serenity,
