The short version

Dan Burdett is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Nov 2022: Plant Path Inc. (Durham, NC — agriculture — 2022; $20M reported sold to 6 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Nov 2022. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Gabriele Gusmini (1 shared filing), Nish Majarian (1 shared filing) and Pat Christie (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Dan. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 2 state regulator orders, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 4 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

Key records

Five things investors ask first. Items still in human review are counted, not shown.

1. Lawsuits

1 case: 1 closed (disposition not in docket feed)

Burdett v. Food Lion, Inc. closed

same rare surname (5 people in Form D filings, 140 federal dockets); surname only in the caption; court in the person's filing state (NC)

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts; live RECAP re-check pending. State courts: not yet searched. PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:53 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not yet searched. No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.
