<div>UPDATE: A Major Victory—But the Fight Isn't Over
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Six weeks ago, I asked for your support after my arrest while defending my inherited ancestral land rights passed down through my third great-grandfather, Charles A. Labuzan Sr. Because of your prayers, encouragement, and financial support, we've reached an important milestone in this four-year legal battle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, I'm grateful to share what has been the most significant legal victory in my case to date.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In my second federal lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, United States District Judge Robert P. Chamberlin denied the government's Motion to Dismiss and its alternative Motion for Summary Judgment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This ruling allows my case to move forward into the next phase of litigation. For the first time, the defendants must respond to my claims through the discovery process, giving me the opportunity to obtain evidence and present facts that I have not previously been able to fully develop before the Court.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While this is a tremendous victory, the fight is far from over.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Court has now entered a Case Management Order establishing deadlines that require me to gather professional evidence to support my claims. My expert designation deadline is October 16, 2026, and meeting that deadline requires resources that are well beyond what I can accomplish alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To prepare my case, I must retain qualified experts, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A licensed land surveyor
</div>
<div>A qualified real estate appraiser
</div>
<div>A professional photographer and/or mapping specialist
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The land inspection will document critical evidence, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Property boundaries
</div>
<div>Survey monuments
</div>
<div>Fences, gates, and signage
</div>
<div>Roads and access points
</div>
<div>Visible structures
</div>
<div>Current surface use
</div>
<div>The relationship between the occupied land and the property's legal description
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This documentation will help create an objective record as my case progresses through discovery and toward trial.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to these expert costs, I continue to face legal support expenses, court filing fees, travel costs, document preparation, copying and records expenses, and other litigation-related costs necessary to move this case forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation—large or small—has helped me continue this fight. Because of your support, this case is still alive, and we have now crossed an important legal milestone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you believe that preserving family history, protecting inherited property rights, and ensuring that future generations have the opportunity to seek justice is important, I humbly ask you to continue standing with me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider making a contribution or sharing this campaign with others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My hope is not only to pursue justice for my own family, but also to help establish a legal path that future heirs may be able to use when seeking to protect or reclaim their ancestral lands.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in this journey, for your prayers, your encouragement, and your continued support. I truly could not have come this far without you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we continue forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
