Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration and made through the Declaration of Federico Zablah.
On October 28, 2024, this Court properly granted a thirty-day stay of any collection efforts concerning the Virginia judgment by the Plaintiffs. On November 1, 2024, Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Reconsideration. Plaintiffs' motion is based, in part, on unfounded claims that Cyberlux and its counsel made various misrepresentations to the Court and engaged in dilatory tactics. The motion also rests on Plaintiffs' incorrect claim that Cyberlux is not challenging the Virginia judgment.1 Plaintiffs are wrong, and therefore this Court should deny Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration
Plaintiffs insist that the Court should lift the stay because Defendants' counsel represented that the Virginia court had issued a stay. This is flat wrong. At the October 28, 2024 hearing, the
parties and the Court discussed this issue, at which time counsel for Plaintiffs informed the Court that no formal stay had in fact been issued in Virginia.2 In other words, the Court was correctly informed that no stay had been entered in Virginia at the time it decided to stay this action for a period of thirty days.
Further, Plaintiffs' motion and the supporting Declaration by Zablah falsely claim that Defendants have not challenged the Virginia judgment. Cyberlux is challenging the validity of the Stipulated Judgment and Cyberlux seeks to reform or modify the Stipulated Judgment pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as modified. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at 1 8. Cyberlux is challenging the Virginia judgment in three separate legal proceedings pending in Virginia.3 Id.
In Cause No. CL22003882-00, the original action from which the Settlement Agreement between the parties arose, Cyberlux is opposingPlaintiffs' illegal attempts to enforce the Stipulated Judgment. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at 1 8(a).
In Cause No. CL24002919-00, an action for injunctive relief brought by Cyberlux, Cyberlux seeks injunctive relief to (1) enjoin Atlantic Wave and Secure Community from their illegal attempts to use the Stipulated Judgment under false pretenses, or (2) to reform the Stipulated Judgment. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at 1 8(b).
In Cause No. CL24002960-00, Cyberlux's declaratory judgment action for Atlantic Wave and Secure Community's breach of the Settlement Agreement, Cyberlux is asking the Court to, among other things, declare the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the Stipulated Judgment considering the parties' modification of the Settlement Agreement. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at 1 8(c).
The Stipulated Judgment was not a judgment on the merits. It did not find, nor recite, any findings of legal liability. See Exhibit 7 to Defendants' Motion to Vacate and Motion to Stay. The Stipulated Judgment was attached as an exhibit to the parties' Settlement Agreement. Id. In other words, all parties to the Settlement Agreement knew that the Stipulated Judgment was intended as a vehicle for use if-and only if-Cyberlux breached the Settlement Agreement. See id.
The representations set forth in Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration are incorrect. Cyberlux is challenging use of the Stipulated Judgment and, alternatively, seeking reformation of the Stipulated Judgment. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at 11 8, 9, 17.
The remainder of Plaintiffs' motion rests on Cyberlux's supposed stonewalling and alleged failure to prosecute claims in Virginia. However, Plaintiffs' representation to the Court that Defendants' "first date of availability" for hearings in Cyberlux's Virginia injunction action was not until April 2025 is patently false.
Since September 12, 2024, the parties have been attempting to schedule a hearing in the Virginia injunction action. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at | 12, Exhibit A. For more than six weeks, the parties worked with the Court to try to schedule a 30-minute hearing on Atlantic Wave's motion to compel. Id. Then, by agreement, the parties decided to instead schedule a 1-hour hearing to address Atlantic Wave's motion for summary judgment. Id. The parties and the Court could not find any mutually available date for a hearing in 2024. So, on October 30, 2024, they agreed to set a hearing on Atlantic Wave's motion for summary judgment on March 27, 2025. Id.4 The Court accepted this agreed setting. Id.
Counsel for Atlantic Wave has since canceled the agreed setting. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at | 13. Cyberlux immediately obtained-and offered-April 21, 2025, which was the Court's
next available date for hearing. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at | 13. Only at that point did Atlantic Wave and Secure Community begin demanding that Cyberlux agree to hearing dates on which Atlantic Wave's counsel knew counsel for Cyberlux was unavailable. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at | 14. Counsel for Cyberlux is scheduled for trial on November 19, 2024, and is out of the country on December 27, 2024. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at | 14.
Simply put, there is no reason for this Court to reconsider the stay that it put in place. Plaintiffs' claims regarding Cyberlux's supposed dilatory tactics in Virginia are baseless. The parties are simultaneously litigating four contentious actions in Virginia, and Cyberlux is acting cooperatively to try and move all four actions along. Unfortunately, the respective courts' busy dockets have presented challenges that Plaintiffs have made more difficult by their shifting availability. See Declaration of J. Robinson, at | 15.
Cyberlux has challenged and continues to challenge the validity of the Stipulated Judgment, and Cyberlux seeks reformation of the Stipulated Judgment to the extent the Virginia court is unwilling to prohibit its enforcement. As described herein, Cyberlux is working with the parties to prosecute its affirmative actions and defend against Atlantic Wave's and Secure Community's meritless attempts following Plaintiffs' breach of the Settlement Agreement.
For the reasons set forth above, Defendants ask this Court to deny Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration, leave the existing stay in place, and grant Defendants all such other and further relief to which they may be entitled.

§ IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF
§ § § HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS
§ § §
§ § 129TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
a. CL22003882-00: This is the original action from which a Settlement Agreement between Cyberlux on the one hand, and Atlantic Wave and Secure Community on the other, arose. The Settlement Agreement was executed on or about June 15, 2023. As part of that Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to the entry of a Stipulated Judgment, in part to ensure finafity surrounding claims involving third-party Strikepoint Consulting LLC. The payments set forth in the Settlement Agreement and referenced by the Stipulated Judgment were later modified by agreement of the parties. Cyberlux is opposing Plaintiffs' illegal attempts to enforce the Stipulated Judgment.

b. CL24002919-00: On July8, 2024, Cyberlux filed this injunction against Atlantic Wave and Secure Community. Atlantic Wave and Secure Community filed their answer on August 1, 2024. In Cause No. CL24002919-00, Cyberlux seeks injunctive relief to prohibit Atlantic Wave and Secure Community from further misrepresenting the terms of the Stipulated Judgment and the Settlement Agreement and to prohibit enforcement of the Stipulated Judgment. In short, Cyberlux is asking the Court to either (a) stop Atlantic Wave and Secure Community from their illegal attempts to use the Stipulated Judgment under false pretenses; or (b) to reform the Stipulated Judgment such that the value of the Stipulated Judgment is reformed to reflect the remaining amount due under the Settlement Agreement.
c. CL24002960-00: On July 8, 2024, Cyberlux filed this action for declaratory judgment før breach of the Settlement Agreement by Atlantic Wave and Secure Community. Atlantic Wave and Secure Community filed a demurrer. In this action, Cyberlux is requesting that the Virginia court, among other things, declare the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the use of the Stipulated Judgment pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, as modified.
d. CL24003910-00: This action was filed by Plaintiffs against Cyberlux regarding Cyberlux's alleged breaches of the Settlement Agreement. On November 4, 2024, Cyberlux filed a demurrer.1

[Caution: Email received from external source]
Mr. Robinson,
Thank you for your email. I cannot agree to set this matter for April or anytime later next year as this is a time sensitive matter as any relief for temporary injunctive relief is. It strains reason why one would file a complaint for preliminary injunction and want to wait almost 1 year before the first hearing takes place, unless the sole purpose of that filing was for delay. If your complaint and request for injunctive relief is warranted, there is no reason to wait to resolve this matter and it is in all our clients' best interest to get this resolved as soon as possible.
As a preliminary matter, you filed this injunction matter in July, have failed to set the injunction for hearing, failed to respond to discovery, failed to show for the deposition of your plaintiff client (or set it for a replacement date), refused to set the motion to compel for hearing or taken any steps to comply with the rules of the Court.
Additionally, as it concerns the injunction you have requested and summary judgment, I have clear indications that no payment on the settlement agreement has been received in almost a year to Atlantic Wave, besides the garnishments, which were almost all consumed by interest and attorney's fees.
Given this, I think it is in our mutual interest to have this matter set as soon as possibly. The Court has been very accommodating to give us November 19, 2025. I suggest we make this date work. You stated you are in trial on that date. Is that trial definitely going to proceed? Perhaps your co-counsel can cover the hearing on November 19?
While we are on the subject of clearing dates, we need discuss your recent objection to our garnishments (which you did not send to us despite indicating the certificate of service). I am aware that you are using this matter to delay collection on the judgment in this and other jurisdictions. Given that you have put forth objections based on this pending case, it makes it paramount that we resolve these objections and this matter to determine the propriety of your objections. Accordingly, we are again requesting the deposition of Mark Schmidt and Cyberlux in this matter. Please provide available dates for a deposition in November.
Lastly I would also tike to set our Motion for Turnover for Hearing in CL22003882-00. Can you confirm if you or your colleague are available one hour in November? Once we have those I will be able to coordinate with Court in that case.
I am happy to have a call with you to go over this and meet and confer on these issues.
Best,
Federico J. Zablah, Esq. Chap Petersen & Associates, PLC

Good morning Ms. Ceruti-
Thank you for your patience with helping us find a date. Defendants are not available on November 19 inasmuch as we have a trial that day. Also it does not give us time to file our brief. If March 27 does not work now for Atlantic Wave we will have to find later dates. If you could provide us later dates (beyond March 27) we will discuss between each other and confirm a date so we do not clog up your email with the back and forward. And hopefully this time we will confirm a date that actually works for both parties before confirming with you that it does.

PRO anofficialanny Office of MarilynBurgess District Cler!
I apologize, I was informed that March 27, 2025 at 10am will not work for us as we have a trial scheduled on that date in another jurisdiction. Are there any other available dates in November for even for a 30 minute hearing? Once I have that, I will confer with opposing counsel on a new date and get back to you. Since this is a preliminary injunction matter, I believe this is a time sensitive matter. Thank you.

Ms. Ceruti,
I apologize for the delay in getting back to you, we are having difficulties agreeing to a date. Are the below dates (or any additional dates in November and December) still available for a hearing?
We would be looking to set our motion for Summary Judgment recently filed in this matter for a hearing rather than the previously mentioned motion to compel.

Good Afternoon Ms. Ceruti,
We recently filed a Motion to Compel Deposition in the above matter and I understand from the Clerk's office that this matter was assigned to Judge Cardwell. Per the suggested practices of Richmond City, I am contacting you to set the motion for a thirty-minute hearing before Judge Cardwell on our Motion to Compel Deposition. I am attaching a copy of the motion. If possible, could you please provide us with available hearing dates in the next couple of weeks to set this matter for a hearing. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter
