Emergency motion asks judge to order Michael Brown to turn over cash
The trustee in Michael Brown's federal bankruptcy case has asked the judge to compel the former hand surgeon to turn over all cash in his possession as of a month ago.
Ronald J. Sommers, a Houston lawyer who last month was named as the Chapter 11 trustee in Brown's bankruptcy case, filed an emergency motion Monday in U.S. District Jeff Bohm's court.

According to the motion, bank statements provided by Brown's counsel showed that he withdrew $300,000 on Sept. 5. Those funds became property of the debtor's bankruptcy estate on Sept. 24, when the bankruptcy case was reinstated, but the funds have not been delivered to the trustee, Sommers' motion states.
"As long as the debtor has possession and control over funds which are property of the debtor's bankruptcy estate, those funds are at risk of depletion," the motion states.
