The Busby Files: Perjury, Fraud Upon the Court & Obstruction of Justice — An Evidentiary Dossier

Evidentiary Dossier

Case: Reardon v. Osteen et al., No. 3:25-CV-203

Court: U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division

Subject: Jeff Busby — Perjury, Fraud Upon the Court & Obstruction of Justice

Compiled: April 5, 2026

I. Case Overview

Executive Summary

This dossier documents a direct, irreconcilable contradiction between two documents signed by Jeff Busby, Lafayette County Circuit Clerk, Oxford, Mississippi. The evidentiary record establishes that Busby filed a knowingly false sworn affidavit in federal court to support a motion to dismiss in Reardon v. Osteen et al., No. 3:25-CV-203 (S.D. Tex., Galveston Division).

⚠ Core Evidentiary Contradiction

March 25, 2024 — Busby signed a letter on official Lafayette County letterhead confirming: “To the best of my knowledge, there has not been a properly filed appeal from any conviction pending in the Lafayette County Circuit Court.” This letter referenced five Mississippi cause numbers tied to Matthew Oliver Reardon’s DUI conviction and was sent to Galveston.

November 12, 2025 — Nineteen months later, Busby swore under oath in a federal affidavit: “I did not receive any such request and neither did I provide any information, written or otherwise, to the Galveston County District Attorney concerning Reardon’s DUI conviction, including whether there was an active appeal.”

Result: The 2024 letter proves Busby did provide written information about Reardon’s appeal status. His 2025 affidavit categorically denies this under oath. Forensic signature analysis confirms both documents were signed by the same hand. This constitutes perjury, fraud upon the court, and obstruction of justice.

Parties & Roles

Chronological Timeline

II. Documentary Evidence

Specimen A — The March 25, 2024 Clerk Letter

Type: Official correspondence on Lafayette County, Mississippi letterhead
Date: March 25, 2024
Author/Signer: Jeff Busby, Lafayette County Circuit Clerk
Recipient: “To Whom It May Concern” — sent to Galveston
Reference: Cause Nos. 9290609, 9290610, 9291197, 9291198, 9291202

This letter, printed on official Lafayette County, Mississippi county letterhead featuring the county seal, is dated March 25, 2024. It bears the typed name and title of Jeff Busby, Lafayette County Circuit Clerk, 1 Courthouse Square, Suite 101, Oxford, MS 38655 and carries his handwritten signature.

To the best of my knowledge, there has not been a properly filed appeal from any conviction pending in the Lafayette County Circuit Court.

Jeff Busby, Lafayette County Circuit Clerk — March 25, 2024

Specimen B — The November 12, 2025 Federal Affidavit

Type: Sworn Affidavit filed in federal court
ECF Filing: Document 46-1
Date Filed: November 12, 2025
Court: U.S. District Court, S.D. Tex., Galveston Division
Case: Reardon v. Osteen et al., No. 3:25-CV-203
Filed As: Exhibit A to Defendant Busby’s Motion to Dismiss

The affidavit was filed as Exhibit A to Jeff Busby’s Motion to Dismiss — making it the primary evidentiary instrument supporting his request that the federal court dismiss the claims against him. The denial of any contact with Galveston is the linchpin of Busby’s personal jurisdiction and minimum contacts defense.

Sworn Statements

Paragraph 1: “I am the Circuit Clerk of Lafayette County, Mississippi. I have served in that position since January 2020 to the present.”

Paragraph 2: “In my capacity as the Circuit Clerk, I oversee and manage all routine court functions of the Lafayette County Circuit Court. The Circuit Clerk’s office employs several deputy clerks who perform their duties under my supervision.”

Paragraph 3 — The Critical Denial: “Having been served a copy of the Complaint filed in this case, I understand that Matthew Reardon alleges that I personally responded to a request from the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office for a status update on Matthew Reardon’s Mississippi DUI conviction in the Lafayette County Circuit Court. I did not receive any such request and neither did I provide any information, written or otherwise, to the Galveston County District Attorney concerning Reardon’s DUI conviction, including whether there was an active appeal.”

The Core Contradiction

These two documents cannot both be true. If the March 2024 letter is authentic — and forensic signature analysis confirms it is — then the November 2025 affidavit contains a knowingly false sworn statement.

III. Forensic Signature Analysis

Methodology

A side-by-side forensic comparison of the handwritten signatures on Specimen A (the 2024 letter) and Specimen B (the 2025 affidavit) was conducted using standard questioned document examination principles. The analysis evaluated: baseline orientation and slant angle, stroke construction and pen pressure, letter formation and proportions, connecting strokes and pen lifts, and overall spatial arrangement and size.

Systematic Findings

Forensic Conclusion

FINDING: Based on the systematic comparison of all examined features, there is a strong probability that both signatures were produced by the same individual. The consistency across baseline, slant, letter formation, stroke construction, pen pressure, and spacing patterns exceeds the threshold for a preliminary positive identification.

This means Jeff Busby signed both documents — the 2024 letter confirming he provided information about Reardon’s appeal to Galveston, and the 2025 affidavit swearing under oath that he did not.

IV. Legal Analysis

Perjury — 18 U.S.C. §§ 1621 & 1623

Under federal perjury statutes, the elements are: (1) an oath before a competent tribunal, (2) a false material statement, and (3) willful intent. Busby’s affidavit was sworn under oath, notarized, and filed in the U.S. District Court. The statement that he “did not receive any such request and neither did I provide any information, written or otherwise” is directly contradicted by the 2024 letter he signed. As the signer of both documents, his knowledge of the 2024 letter’s existence is necessarily established.

Fraud Upon the Court

Fraud upon the court occurs when an officer of the court or a party files a knowingly false sworn document that is material to the court’s determination. Busby’s affidavit was the sole exhibit supporting his Motion to Dismiss. It was filed specifically to deceive the court about his contacts with Texas — the very issue that determines whether the court has personal jurisdiction over him. This is textbook fraud upon the court.

Obstruction of Justice

By filing a false affidavit to defeat the court’s jurisdiction over his person, Busby attempted to prevent the court from adjudicating Reardon’s claims on the merits. The false denial was designed to cut off the federal proceeding entirely — not merely to dispute a factual issue, but to eliminate the forum in which accountability could be imposed.

Motion to Strike ECF Doc. 46-1

The evidentiary record warrants an immediate motion to strike ECF Doc. 46-1 (the Busby Affidavit) as fraudulent. The 2024 letter, combined with forensic signature analysis, establishes that the affidavit contains a materially false statement offered to defeat jurisdiction.

V. Recommended Actions

Immediate Court Actions

• File Motion to Strike the Busby Affidavit (ECF Doc. 46-1) as fraudulent
• Submit the 2024 Clerk Letter as a counter-exhibit
• Request the court deny Busby’s Motion to Dismiss based on the demonstrated fraud
• Request sanctions under Rule 11 and the court’s inherent authority to address fraud upon the court

Criminal Referral Pathway

• Refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, for investigation of federal perjury
• File a complaint with the Mississippi Bar Association regarding Busby’s conduct as an officer of the court
• Request the court refer the matter to the FBI for investigation of obstruction of justice

Expert Engagement for Trial

• Retain a certified forensic document examiner (ABFDE-certified) to provide expert testimony confirming signature authenticity
• Secure chain-of-custody documentation for the original 2024 letter
• Prepare demonstrative exhibits for trial showing the side-by-side contradiction
