Knoxville Attorney Russ Egli has filed an appearance in the Whiskey Barrel Trading LLC vs Robyn Hurvitz case in Monroe County TN.
A July 2024 press release on Marquis Who's Who describes Mr. Egli:
"A distinguished attorney with a career spanning over 18 years. In 2007 as a new member of the bar, Mr. Egli went before the Tennessee Senate Judiciary Committee, highlighting the fact that the Tennessee Judiciary was experiencing significant problems with a litigant's due process right to pursue the removal of a judge which has an actual conflict or an appearance of impropriety.
This Senate Judiciary hearing in which other members of the Tennessee Bar, as well as Tennesse residents who were in litigation with a judge refusing to recuse from the case despite an actual conflict or appearance of impropriety testified was instrumental in changing the laws surrounding the recusal of a judge in Tennessee as well as the disbandment of the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary which was not disciplining Tennessee judges who had clearly violated their judicial canons."
In 2018, 'hype and fluffery' was an integral part of Billy's playbook.
While acting as his own attorney before the Tennessee Court of Appeals in 2024, he sang a different tune.
'Billy' or ‘William Jennings Smith’ was sued by gal/pal Robyn Hurvitz over a real estate dispute–the case made it to the Tennessee Court of Appeals as ‘Whiskey Barrel Trading Company vs Robyn Hurvitz.’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-vExEKQgoE
Pro se attorney oral argument in the Whiskey Barrel Trading Company vs Robyn Hurvitz case appeal made by Coker Creek resident Billy Smith... The Appeal was denied in TN State Court...He was often incoherent and rambling with comments and text that he had difficulty with--but, like he said, "he ain't no lawyer." What options does he have?
Billy started a Gofundme several months ago--says he is donating $2500 to benefit victims of corruption in Monroe Countybut the donations balance as of 4/5/2025 only shows $315... And has dropped to '0' funds as of 5/27/2025 https://gofund.me/c1976eda
*************************
Filing an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court can delay a state action.
The Supreme Court has the power to review decisions made by the state courts.
When an appeal is filed, it can lead to the court deciding to hear the case (granting certiorari).
While the Court considers the case, it can issue stays or injunctions that halt the state action in question.
Stays: The Court can issue a "stay," which is a temporary suspension of legal proceedings or actions. This can prevent a state from enforcing a law or carrying out a decision while the appeal is pending.
The Appeal Process Itself: The legal process of an appeal to the Supreme Court itself takes time. So even without a stay being issued, the process itself delays the state action.
If the Supreme Court ultimately rules against the state, it can invalidate the state's law or action, effectively preventing it from being implemented.
But here's the bad news Billy--The Supreme Court accepts a very small percentage of the cases that are presented to it, and this includes pro se appeals.
The Supreme Court has discretionary jurisdiction, meaning it gets to choose which cases it will hear.
It primarily focuses on cases that have significant legal principles or have a nationwide impact.
The deadline for filing a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court is generally 90 days after the entry of judgment or decree by the lower court. Some cases have an even shorter deadline of 30 days.
By dragging his former girlfriend/business partner 'through the mud' with a litany of insults and off-topic remarks, Billy showed his true colors. It was more likely that the Arabs and the Jews would have agreed to a permanent peace accord before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to hear an appeal by 'Billy' William Jennings Smith.
It was an alarming and bizarre encounter on May 22, 2023. It is now crystal clear the motive behind the malicious tactics used was a 'swatting attack' by a 'serial hoaxster.'...the victim remembers, "It felt like being chased by a raving lunatic."
On Monday, May 22, 2023 -- an alert was posted on the local Facebook users group by Daniela Valderrama saying..."Does Anyone know who this creepy guy is?"
The so-called "creepy guy" was an innocent victim and was falsely accused and harassed for no reason--he was interviewed by MCNW and wants to share how he ran into the accuser...

Update 2/26/2025...Why was Billy's new girlfriend so 'alarmed and hysterical' back in 2023...was it because they wanted to hide what they had on Cooper Hollow Road...?
Could it be that there is a 34-acre parcel of land near Tilley Lane registered to the infamous 'Whiskey Barrel Trading Company...?' It's an LLC that was dissolved years ago...There is much more to come...
...........................
Manny Silva says...I was driving towards Cooper Hollow Road and saw what looked like a stranded or perhaps a lost motorist on the side of the road: I stopped and said hello...As soon as I realized she must be a friend or girlfriend of dirty trickster 'Billy' William Jennings Smith; I drove on, and could hear as she "screamed and hollered"... she wanted to know "How did you know that, and who are you?"...
Cooper Hollow Road in Monroe County TN is one of the most hidden places to live and use as a base of operations.
As I looked in my rear-view mirror, she had turned around and was following me--GPS cache meta-data would show that she followed me after our brief conversation...
I felt she was so enraged that I better stop and try to calm her down--she started video recording her shouting and screaming, so I took a picture of her...I later made a police report at the Tellico PD with a Monroe County officer...I was in fear for my life and felt I was being chased by a "raving lunatic."

Flea Market Vendor "Billy" William Jennings Smith landed in Coker Creek TN in 2017. He is one of the most interesting characters that has ever migrated to southern Monroe County--seen representing himself in court as a 'Pro se appellant' in a dispute over real estate with former associate Robyn Hurvitz. His appeal was denied--explained in a detailed decision here, see pdf link:
An interlocutory appeal filed by Daniela Valderrama, also a non-attorney litigant and recent girlfriend/associate of Billy's was dismissed--see pdf. link:
Microsoft has unveiled a new quantum chip called "Majorana 1" that claims will make scaled, real-world quantum computing a reality in just years rather than decades. It's palm-sized and has a delightfully retro look yet Microsoft claims it will eventually pack more theoretical computing power than all the world's current classical computers combined.
The Majorana 1 comes after nearly two decades of research. The big claims come thanks to Microsoft's unique approach to the quantum problem. Scientists at the company have engineered a first-of-its-kind "topo-conductor" material that they say exploits an exotic "topological" state of matter, bridging the gap between quantum physics and practical engineering.
Microsoft adds that this topological state enables smaller, faster, and more stable quantum bits (qubits). In fact, the company is so confident in the technology that it claims topo-conductors and the new type of chip they enable provide a clear roadmap to scaling up to over one million qubits on a single chip – a key threshold for quantum supremacy over classical computers for real-world applications.
