Re Fw Sweatman V. Zeeman Judges Order Approving Settlement And Plat Reconfiguration City Of Brookhaven 19¶

Hi Brett,

For clarity and to avoid any misunderstanding, no executed settlement agreement exists. I do not authorize the submission of any filings, motions, proposed orders, amendments, surveys, plats, or other communications to the Court, or any representations to the Court or third parties that anything is being submitted on my behalf or is under my review, without my prior written approval.

For the record, I did not approve or authorize the prior closing of my court case (21CV9795) on or around March 17, 2025, the submission of any order, or the submission of any survey or plat to Fulton County Court or to the City of Brookhaven.

As noted in my emails dated December 1, 2025 and December 18, 2025, I am still awaiting the requested documentation, including communications with opposing counsel, the City, the surveyor, and the expediter, as well as any responses to the settlement edits I transmitted in June 2025. I need those materials before I can meaningfully review or consider any proposed order or next steps.

Accordingly, I do not approve the proposed order at this time.

Best regards, Sarah Zeeman

Subject: RE: FW: Sweatman v. Zeeman - Judge's Order Approving Settlement and Plat Reconfiguration/City of Brookhaven

Sarah,

Opposing counsel just sent over a few redlines on the proposed amended order approving the settlement and plat reconfiguration. Please confirm receipt, review, and let me know if you approve the edits. This is just an amendment of the prior order the Judge demanded last February and it is what Gaddy, whom you requested, suggested to push through the plat reconfiguration. It has now been more than 6 months and we are risking a motion to enforce/contempt which I want to avoid.

As previously stated, once we send the attached to the Court and the expediter brings it to the City for approval, we can file a motion to enforce and seek sanctions/fees. If we dont move this forward, you are put in a very risky position as the Judge made herself abundantly clear last year at the hearing that we need to do everything possible to finalize this.

The expediter has been on hold for months. As for the City Attorney, we have communicate via phone and simply waited on the amendments from him. I also understand that you have been in communication with him claiming that the FOIA/open records they provided were not in compliance. Id ask that you refrain from making such allegations to the City Attorney as, again, it could hinder the resolution.

Can we please schedule a call on this so that we can discuss and get back on the same page. As you know, I have advocated for you every step on the way. At the same time, we need to comply with the law and the Courts clear direction.

This should be a top priority.

If I do not hear back from you on the proposed order by next Friday, I will still need to send it to the Judge and can note that it is under your review. This is to protect you from any potential sanctions.
