Overview
- Sanders’ lawyer filed sealed motions in limine to keep juvenile and disciplinary records out of the bankruptcy trial.
- One motion asks the judge to limit how far back the evidence can reach and to exclude certain Texas agency and police records.
- The Aug. 31 trial will test whether the debt arose from a willful and malicious injury, which would make it non‑dischargeable.
- Sanders says he acted in self‑defense in the 2015 altercation, while security guard John Darjean is pressing to collect the full award.
- The bankruptcy trustee is also chasing about $250,000 in post‑filing transfers tied to NIL entities, and Judge Michael Romero kept those issues alive by denying dismissal in March.
