ORDER STRIKING DOCUMENTS
FOR LACK OF STANDING
THIS MATTER comes before the Court pursuant to the 1) Objection to Payment to Barnes
and Barnes Request for Evidentiary Hearing to Take Sworn Testimony under 30b(6) and Other
Applicable Rules, 1 filed on February 20, 2026, by Michael Eric Nelson (“Nelson”); 2) Expanded,

Court issued an Order to Show Cause Why Documents Should Not be Stricken for Lack of
Standing (the “Show Cause Order”). Upon consideration of the record, the applicable law, and the
lack of response to the Show Cause Order, the Court hereby finds and orders as follows:

I. 	Jurisdiction
The Court has jurisdiction over this bankruptcy case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b).
Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1409. Reference to the Court of this bankruptcy case is
proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(a). Matters concerning the administration of the estate are core
proceedings as defined by 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A).
II. 	Background
Proceeding without an attorney, Nelson appears to be lodging an objection to a fee
application filed on behalf of a professional that has provided accounting services to the estate on
behalf of the Trustee. 4 The Nelson Filings are rife with allegations of misconduct against numerous
parties associated with this case. Beyond that broad outline, it is unclear what type of relief Nelson
seeks.
Pursuant to the Show Cause Order, Nelson was given an opportunity to address the
concerns of the Court and to present facts to demonstrate that he has standing to raise the matters
set out in the Nelson Filings and to appear and be heard in this case. 	Notice was provided to
Nelson at the address provided in the Nelson Filings. The Show Cause Order informed Nelson
that on or before March 23, 2026, he must file a written response addressing 1) his standing to
appear and be heard before this Court, and 2) why the Nelson Filings should not be stricken. As
of the date of this Order, no response has been filed or received by the Clerk for filing.

III. 	Legal Standards
Federal courts, including bankruptcy courts, are courts of limited jurisdiction. 5 The judicial
power of the United States must be exercised within the confines of “Cases” or “Controversies.” 6
The Article III case-or-controversy limitation that constrains the jurisdiction of both district courts
and bankruptcy courts limits the courts to adjudicating disputes between or among parties that
have Article III standing. 7 In order to establish standing, a party must have “(1) suffered an injury
in fact, (2) that is fairly traceable to the challenged conduct of the defendant, and (3) that is likely
to be redressed by a favorable judicial decision.” 8 	“To establish injury in fact, a plaintiff must
show that he or she suffered ‘an invasion of a legally protected interest’ that is ‘concrete and
particularized’ and ‘actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical.’” 9 An injury is
“particularized” if it affects the plaintiff in a personal and individual way. 10 An injury is “concrete”
if it is real rather than abstract, although for the injury to be concrete it need not be tangible. 11 The
party seeking to invoke federal jurisdiction bears the burden of establishing these elements. 12
IV. 	Discussion
“A pro se litigant’s pleadings are to be construed liberally and held to a less stringent
standard than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers.” 13 The Court, however, cannot be a pro se
litigant’s advocate. 14 In the absence of constitutional standing, the Court does not have jurisdiction

to reach the merits of any relief sought by Nelson. The Court can find no indication that Nelson is
a creditor or other interest holder with any relationship to this case. For example, Nelson’s name
does not appear in the Debtor’s Schedules or statements; nor does he appear to be a claimant in
this case.
Based on the above, the Court finds Nelson has failed to meet his burden to establish
standing to raise the matters set out in the Nelson Filings and to participate in this case. Therefore,
the Court finds that each of the Nelson Filings must be stricken from the Court docket in Case No.

15 The Show Cause Order provided notice to Nelson of this result. See ECF No. 436, at 3. The
Court will not impose filing restrictions on Nelson at this time, but may consider such sanctions
in the future if conditions warrant such action.
