Re: Cause No. 2024-48085; Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC and Secure Community,
LLC v. Cyberlux Corporation and Mark D. Schmidt, Individually; In the 129th Judicial
District Court, Harris County, Texas
Dear Judge Gomez:
I write on behalf of Defendants Cyberlux Corporation and Mark D. Schmidt in response to letters
submitted by Mr. Walton (on May 15) and Mr. Grady (on May 19) on behalf of Atlantic Wave
and Secure Community. Defendants request that the Court schedule a hearing to resolve the issues
raised in this letter.
There is no legitimate dispute that Defendants have made and continue to make payments to
Plaintiffs pursuant to the parties’ settlement agreement. Through Mr. Walton’s letter, Plaintiffs
concede that the balance outstanding on the judgment over which this Court has jurisdiction is
$912,000, after accounting for prior payments, credits, and offsets. This balance is $518,551.30
lower than the balance Plaintiffs claim was outstanding as of January 6, 2025. (See Plaintiffs’
Application for Turnover After Judgment and For Appointment of Receiver, submitted by Shawn
Grady). The substantial payments Defendants have made and continue to make demonstrates that
any suggestion by Plaintiffs that Defendants will “hide or dissipate assets” out of the reach of
Plaintiffs is untrue. Additionally, considering that Cyberlux is planning to pay monies into the
registry of the Virginia court, in an amount in excess of $1 million, Plaintiffs have no real concern
whatsoever.
As this Court is aware, a focal issue of this matter is whether or not certain property stored at
Cyberlux’s Spring, Texas facility is property of Cyberlux or of the United States Government. Mr.
Walton asserts that Cyberlux is to receive more than $20 million from Huntington Ingalls
Industries (HII) “any day now.” This claim relates to a recent modification to Cyberlux’s
government subcontract with HII, under which Cyberlux will be paid after delivery to the United

Pennetti states $912,000 remains on the domesticated judgment, describing that as the creditor’s concession, and says it is $518,551.30 below the January 6 claimed balance. He asserts substantial continuing payments refute dissipation concerns. The reduced-balance comparison implies a prior $1,430,551.30 figure, but the letter provides no payment ledger proving the composition or timing of the reduction.

He says the HII modification requires delivery of all Spring-facility drones and equipment before payment. He asks the court to decide title to drones, equipment and unassembled parts, asserting a wrongful seizure could expose Cyberlux to more than $20 million liability. Those are counsel’s transaction/ownership positions and predictions; no executed modification or title instrument is attached.

States Government of all the drones and drone equipment located at Cyberlux’s Spring, Texas
facility.
Plaintiffs are aware of this requirement. However, although Plaintiffs have represented to this
Court and to the Southern District of Texas that they will not take custody of property that belongs
to the United States Government, Plaintiffs actively dispute that the drone equipment is
government property. Defendants removed this action to the Southern District of Texas so that the
federal district court could resolve this federal question. However, the federal court declined to
exercise jurisdiction.
Defendants respectfully ask that the Court hold a hearing, at which the parties may adduce
competent evidence, to address and decide whether the drones and drone equipment (including
unassembled component parts) are property of Cyberlux that may be subject to a turnover or
receivership order, or property of the United States Government that Plaintiffs concede may not
be seized. It is imperative that the Court decide this issue before entering any order requiring
turnover or appointing a receiver. If Plaintiffs are permitted to proceed and they seize the drones
and drone equipment based on their incorrect claim that the drones and drone equipment are
property of Cyberlux, Cyberlux will face liability in excess of $20 million, and this Court will be
forced to resolve additional substantial litigation involving Plaintiffs, the U.S. Government,
Cyberlux’s contractor, and Cyberlux concerning the improper levying of the drones.
Plaintiffs cannot be allowed to transform the underlying judgment in this proceeding (of which
$912,000 is outstanding) into a judgment for $7,774,000, as Mr. Walton suggests. This proposal
not only defies Texas law, but also undercuts the sovereignty of the Virginia courts. Given
Plaintiffs concede $912,000 of the judgment is outstanding, this Court may not appoint a receiver
to seize and sell Defendants’ assets beyond what is owed under the judgment. Davis v. West, 317
S.W.3d 301, 309 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2009, no pet.).
This Court may not award the $6,017,250 in alleged damages Plaintiffs assert resulted from
Cyberlux’s breach of the settlement agreement. As this Court is aware, the parties’ settlement
agreement contains an exclusive forum-selection clause that dictates that the settlement agreement
“is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia . . . [and] [v]enue for any future
disputes hereunder . . . shall solely lie in either the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond,
Virginia, or the United Stated [sic] District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in the
Richmond Division.” The forum-selection clause prohibits this Court from awarding the relief
sought. In re AIU Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 109, 118 (Tex. 2004) (“When a trial court denies a motion
to enforce a valid, enforceable forum-selection clause that specifies another state or country as the
chosen forum, the trial court's final judgment is subject to automatic reversal.”). Notwithstanding,
upon information and belief, Plaintiffs already have a breach of contract action pending in Virginia.
The same is true regarding Plaintiffs’ request to recover $592,000 in attorneys’ fees. Mr. Walton
states: “Cyberlux agreed to be ‘responsible for the payment of Atlantic Wave’s attorneys’ fees and
costs in any action caused by the breach of this Settlement Agreement.’” Again, the parties dispute

of contract actions pending in Virginia, the exclusive forum where all such disputes may be
brought. Unless and until it is decided that Cyberlux breached the settlement agreement in a
Virginia court, Plaintiffs may not recover the stated $592,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs. In re
AIU Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d at 118.
Mr. Walton asserts that a Virginia state court ordered Cyberlux to pay $9,392.50 to Plaintiffs, and
that Cyberlux has failed to pay that amount. This request also fails because this Court has
authority only to enforce the domesticated judgment and the amounts identified therein. Courts
are not permitted to step into the shoes of their sister-state courts to enforce sanctions orders issued
in unrelated proceedings. Plaintiffs offer no support for this position, certainly because none exists.
This Court may not enforce the Southern District of Texas’s award of attorneys’ fees and costs at
this juncture. The Southern District of Texas’s order awarding fees and costs pertains to the second
removal of this matter. Of note, Atlantic Wave to submitted documentation of its costs and
attorneys’ fees on Monday, May 19, 2025. The Court directed Cyberlux to respond and object by
May 26, 2025. The Court may not enforce the Southern District of Texas’s award until the
Southern District determines the amount of fees and costs awarded.
The additional claims against Cyberlux cited in Mr. Walton’s letter are not relevant to this
proceeding. However, even if they were, there is no risk that Cyberlux could not satisfy these
liabilities and this judgment. As Mr. Walton identified, the sum to be paid to Cyberlux following
delivery of the drones and drone equipment to the United States Government well exceeds the total
of the outstanding balance of the judgment plus the unrelated liabilities pp. 3-4 of Mr. Walton’s
letter identifies. There is no risk that the judgment underlying this proceeding will not be fully
satisfied (unless Plaintiffs are permitted to wrongfully seize the drones and drone equipment).
Cyberlux is planning to pay monies into the registry of the Virginia court in excess of $1.4
million. This amount is sufficient to cover the $912,000 balance on the domesticated judgment,
plus ~$500,000, which represents nearly the entire amount of attorneys’ fees Plaintiffs claim to
have incurred – which Cyberlux disputes. Cyberlux will provide documentation of this deposit as
soon as it is made.
In sum, Cyberlux respectfully asks that the Court hold a hearing to decide the status of ownership
or property interest that the United States Government has in the drones and drone equipment prior
to entering any turnover order or order appointing a receiver. Additionally, Cyberlux asks the
Court to reject Plaintiffs’ remaining claims for recovery, which are unfounded and exceed the
balance of the judgment.
Cyberlux appreciates the Court’s consideration of its position in this matter.
Sincerely,

Plaintiffs pursuant to the parties’ settlement agreement. Through Mr. Walton’s letter, Plaintiffs
concede that the balance outstanding on the judgment over which this Court has jurisdiction is
$912,000, after accounting for prior payments, credits, and offsets. This balance is $518,551.30
lower than the balance Plaintiffs claim was outstanding as of January 6, 2025. (See Plaintiffs’
Application for Turnover After Judgment and For Appointment of Receiver, submitted by Shawn
Grady). The substantial payments Defendants have made and continue to make demonstrates that
any suggestion by Plaintiffs that Defendants will “hide or dissipate assets” out of the reach of
Plaintiffs is untrue. Additionally, considering that Cyberlux is planning to pay monies into the
registry of the Virginia court, in an amount in excess of $1 million, Plaintiffs have no real concern
whatsoever.

Reviewed relationships
The canvas follows the database: source to DISTIL record, DISTIL record to knowledge object, then reviewed relationship. Position alone means nothing.
The record shows creation on 10 June 2025, authorisation at 4:46 PM that day and process date 11 June 2025. The originator wire header is Vartabedian Hester & Haynes LLP, from a masked IOLTA account, with the case/debtor message referencing 202448085 and Cyberlux Corporation. It does not name the ultimate client funder, prove the source of client funds or show a completed beneficiary credit.referencesThe letter first describes a planned Virginia registry deposit above $1 million and later specifies above $1.4 million: $912,000 plus approximately $500,000 against disputed fees. It promises documentation as soon as the deposit is made. Both formulations are prospective, with no fixed deposit date and no receipt included. The more specific figure is not a contradictory separate deposit.
Earlier proposal was a Virginia registry deposit above $1.4 million; later instruction is $3,083,639.75 to Berleth. Different amount and destination, not automatically the same fulfilled undertaking.
The letter first describes a planned Virginia registry deposit above $1 million and later specifies above $1.4 million: $912,000 plus approximately $500,000 against disputed fees. It promises documentation as soon as the deposit is made. Both formulations are prospective, with no fixed deposit date and no receipt included. The more specific figure is not a contradictory separate deposit.referencesHe challenges April statements about intended supersedeas funding and the May planned $1.4 million deposit, citing Petersen’s May 21 affidavit for lack of an interpleader motion or Fairfax appearance. He alleges no money had been interpleaded despite the time elapsed. These are dated non-occurrence allegations; they do not independently establish all registry activity or every jurisdiction’s docket.
May 20 prospective deposit is challenged May 22 by cited missing filing/deposit evidence; neither letter supplies an actual receipt.
He describes the 28 June 2023 Virginia judgment and California/Texas domestications and states at least $912,000 remains after payments, credits and offsets. He quotes an agreed security/lien interest and describes 6 July 2023 Virginia and Texas UCC filings. His letter is not the instruments, a current payoff or a priority decision.referencesDebtor counsel states that $912,000 of the domesticated judgment remains outstanding, while attributing that figure to the creditor and contesting broader claims.
Both identify $912,000 remaining principal at this time, with creditor minimum wording and debtor objections to broader sums retained.
The letter asserts aggregate Atlantic Wave entitlement above $7,774,000. The expressly quantified components $912,000, $592,000, $6,017,250 and $9,392.50 sum to $7,530,642.50 before unspecified excess/accruals. Because several figures are minima or unquantified, this is an unprovided bridge rather than proof the stated aggregate is arithmetically impossible. No itemised ledger reconciles it here.referencesPennetti argues the receivership cannot collect beyond the $912,000 judgment balance and cannot incorporate $6,017,250 share damages. He relies on Texas authorities and an exclusive Virginia forum clause, reproduced with United Stated [sic], for settlement disputes. These are advocacy positions, not rulings made by this letter.
Creditor aggregate exceeds $7,774,000 while debtor contests converting additional claims into this judgment; no merged adjudicated balance.
He disputes the claimed $592,000 contractual fees pending Virginia breach litigation, challenges enforcement of the separate $9,392.50 Virginia fee order in this proceeding, and notes the federal second-removal fees were still awaiting quantification with objections due May 26. Distinct sources of fees and their contested enforceability must remain separate.referencesFees were denied for the first removal because it had at least a colourable basis; the second lacked an objectively reasonable basis and fee entitlement is granted. The opinion requires proof of actual removal-related costs and permits good-faith objections. It does not fix a monetary award.
Federal second-removal entitlement was granted without dollar quantification; keep separate from Virginia and contractual fees.
The letter first describes a planned Virginia registry deposit above $1 million and later specifies above $1.4 million: $912,000 plus approximately $500,000 against disputed fees. It promises documentation as soon as the deposit is made. Both formulations are prospective, with no fixed deposit date and no receipt included. The more specific figure is not a contradictory separate deposit.referencesThe proposed text would find that the receiver’s statutory authority extends only to property needed to satisfy the judgment, that sufficient funds had been tendered and that further possession/sale would exceed that authority. These are requested findings; the filing stamp does not prove the tender amount, source or legal sufficiency.
The later unsigned proposed order asserts tender; it does not independently prove fulfilment of the earlier deposit plan.
He says the HII modification requires delivery of all Spring-facility drones and equipment before payment. He asks the court to decide title to drones, equipment and unassembled parts, asserting a wrongful seizure could expose Cyberlux to more than $20 million liability. Those are counsel’s transaction/ownership positions and predictions; no executed modification or title instrument is attached.referencesWalton reiterates that creditors seek Cyberlux’s non-exempt assets, including expected HII receipts above $20 million, and invokes Rosenthal’s rejection of the government-property reading. Saying the property issue is resolved is his broader characterisation: this letter does not adjudicate actual title to each drone/component or later conduct.
Debtor requests actual ownership hearing; creditor relies on remand’s boundary. Remand is not an item-by-item title finding.
Pennetti states $912,000 remains on the domesticated judgment, describing that as the creditor’s concession, and says it is $518,551.30 below the January 6 claimed balance. He asserts substantial continuing payments refute dissipation concerns. The reduced-balance comparison implies a prior $1,430,551.30 figure, but the letter provides no payment ledger proving the composition or timing of the reduction.supportsCounsel’s express outstanding balance and promise to document a future deposit support a dated financial position, not a completed satisfaction. The assurance depends on a future delivery/payment sequence and unresolved competing claims.
Specifically named source propositions support the bounded distinction or question.
Pennetti says anticipated HII payment would cover the judgment and the other listed liabilities and asserts no risk of non-satisfaction unless drones are wrongly seized.
