![In sum, no appellant has standing to appeal.
III. Conclusion
The court concludes that no appellant has standing to appeal the October 2025 order that
“[t]he automatic stay imposed under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Jones
Bankruptcy Case does not apply to FSS or any of FSS’s asset.” (Docket Entry No. 2-30 at 2). The
court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. The appeal is dismissed.
The motion for leave to file a corrected reply, (Docket Entry No. 37), is granted. The
motion to strike, (Docket Entry No. 38), is denied as moot.
The October 2025 order remains operative. Jones and/or Free Speech Systems may move
to stay the October 2025 order pending appeal to the Fifth Circuit by Friday, May 22, 2026.
SIGNED on May 15, 2026, at Houston, Texas.
