⚖️COURT UPDATE⚖️There are TWO new rulings in Demoree Hadley V. Desiree Perez lawsuit. Judge Beth Bloom has GRANTED Desiree Perez’s request for permission to conventionally file the body-worn camera videos she recently obtained from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. The videos are being submitted in support of Perez’s pending Motion for Sanctions — (Refer back to Docket ECF No. 533) because the video files cannot be submitted through the normal electronic filing system, Perez had asked for permission to provide them directly to the Clerk of Court. In a separate ruling, Magistrate Judge Lauren F. Louis DENIED Consolidated Plaintiffs’ latest Motion to Compel against Javon Hadley. Plaintiffs accused Javon of failing to fully comply with prior discovery orders involving the forensic examination of his cellphone. They sought, among other things the following👇🏾 • Production of all 1,909 documents identified through search terms. • Additional cellphone data. • Appointment of a neutral third-party reviewer. • Sanctions, attorneys’ fees and costs. • Striking Javon’s affirmative defense concerning his alleged authorization to access the family home’s security systems. The Court rejected those requests. Judge Louis found that Javon’s response showed Substantial compliance and Good-faith efforts by his counsel to comply with the Court’s earlier discovery order. The Court noted that the forensic vendor, Guidepost Solutions, did not provide the review population until after the production deadline and identified a massive volume of material, including👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 • 1,909 search-term documents. • 28,388 total documents. • 4,958 text-message documents. • 21,932 video/image/audio files. The Court found that the compressed review period, volume of electronic evidence and Guidepost’s delay substantially justified the late production. Plaintiffs also wanted the Court to revisit its previous refusal to appoint a special master or neutral reviewer. Judge Louis DECLINED. She found that the new complaints did not justify changing the previously ordered cellphone-review protocol. Plaintiffs already possess copies of certain disputed text-message threads but wanted corresponding copies directly from Javon’s phone for comparison and authentication purposes. The Court found that requiring the additional production was NOT proportional to the needs of the case. Judge Louis included one particularly telling observation this was already the 15th filed discovery motion in a short period of time, not even counting the numerous discovery motions argued orally at hearings. Plaintiffs also asked the Court to strike Javon’s affirmative defense concerning authorization to access the home-security system. Judge Louis rejected that request as well, finding the record did NOT establish the willful or bad-faith failure necessary to justify such a severe sanction. ORDER - drive.google.com/file/d/1QnX…

⚖️COURT UPDATE⚖️The Estate of Nolan X. Wells has WITHDRAWN its original subpoena to TikTok, Inc. and issued a NEW subpoena to the entity TikTok identified as the proper records holder. On August 21, 2026, Christine Wells Wonsley withdrew the earlier subpoena after TikTok’s counsel informed her attorneys that TikTok, Inc. was NOT the proper entity for Nolan Wells’ account. According to the filing, TikTok had produced NO records under the original subpoena. A replacement subpoena has now been issued to TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC. The Estate is seeking records connected to Nolan Wells’ TikTok account, including: • Account identification and registration information. • Login, access and session records. • IP addresses and device information. • Password resets, account changes and security events. • Follower, following, friend, block and unblock information. • Metadata concerning posts, videos, stories, comments and LIVE activity. • Public communications Nolan Wells made available to the general public. • LOCATION DATA associated with the account, session, access or devices on JULY 4, 2026. The subpoena specifically seeks July 4 location information from 12:00 A.M. through 11:59 P.M. Central Time, including latitude, longitude, timestamps and IP-derived location information, if maintained by TikTok as non-content records. The broader relevant activity period identified in the subpoena runs from JUNE 1 through JULY 10, 2026. Importantly, the subpoena says the Estate is NOT seeking private direct messages, friends-only communications, drafts or other restricted communications that federal law prohibits TikTok from disclosing. Instead, the Estate is focusing largely on account records, metadata, access history, device information and communications that Nolan himself configured as PUBLIC. TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC is being directed to produce responsive records within 21 DAYS of receiving the subpoena, but no sooner than 15 days after receipt. So, the Estate’s effort to obtain Nolan Wells’ TikTok records is still moving forward. SUBPEONA - drive.google.com/file/d/1Z0O…
