On July 16, 2025, the Court of Appeals entered an order in F & L Berkley LLC v City of
Berkley, No. 373695, assessing costs in the amount of $250 against Attorney Ellis B. Freatman III
(P34278). The costs have not been paid as ordered.
The failure or refusal to pay the assessed costs having resulted in the issuance of this order
to show cause, the Court orders that Attorney Ellis B. Freatman III shall pay to the Clerk of this Court
additional costs in the sum of $100.
No later than 14 days from the date of this order, Attorney Ellis B. Freatman III shall:
1. Pay to the Clerk of the Court of appeals the total of $350 owing in this file or,
2. Show Cause in writing why he should not be held in contempt of this Court for
failure to comply with the Court’s directive.
If Attorney Ellis B. Freatman fails to pay the total costs owing or fails to show cause in
writing within 14 days of the Clerk’s certification of this order, this Court may issue an order barring him
from any further filings or appearances in this Court until the costs are paid in full.
