Delvey, also known as Anna Sorokin, was the subject of the Netflix show ‘Inventing Anna’
The 31-year-old – who was the subject of the Netflix show ‘Inventing Anna’ – claims Thomas violated a July 2022 court order to transfer court filings to her new attorney, according to Manhattan Supreme Court filings.
Thomas previously sent two batches of the deportation documents in August last year to Delvey’s latest lawyer.
However, she allegedly failed to turn over ‘any of the digital audio recordings of (Delvey’s) immigration court hearings,’ according to the lawsuit against her.
The convicted fraudster also alleged that Thomas withheld the documents because se has a vendetta against her.
‘Thus, it is clear that (Thomas) is still deliberately withholding items from (Delvey’s) case file,’ the court filing claims.
Delvey’s legal troubles come as she continues to plan for her future in the US, including shopping around for a reality TV show about her life.
She was previously jailed for swindling banks, hotels and members of New York high society out of $275,000, tricking them into believing she was an heiress.
The Russian-born German, who moved to the US in 2013, was charged with grand larceny after she was snared in her years-long con.
She was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison for her crimes in 2019, but was released early for good behavior in February 2021.
Following her release from prison, she surrendered to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for allegedly overstaying her visa.
She was subsequently held in Orange County, New York, before moving into temporary accommodation at the NoMad luxury hotel in Manhattan. She has been appealing her deportation for several years.

Delvey, real name Anna Sorokin, used an alter-ego to convince New York elites that she would inherit a 60-million-euro fortune
Speaking to Tatler following her release, Delvey said she is ‘absolutely not’ a fraudster.
‘I got famous for a financial crime. I was charged with six grand larcenies, and got convicted of four,’ she added.
‘It was the prosecutors’ job to make me look bad, but in the end, they got upset for how famous I got over it.’
