He has been intent on taking his ex-wife Kim Kardashian to the cleaners in their divorce case.
But Kris Humphries has seemingly dropped the ball after not showing up for a very important Los Angeles pretrial hearing on Friday.
The court date in question was a settlement conference, and required the NBA player's attendance, yet the 28-year-old was a no show.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles-based Kim is said to have turned up punctually for the hearing.

She was spotted in her Mercedes SUV wearing a pair of sunglasses to shield her make-up free face.
Sources tell TMZ, that Kris was spotted in New York City at 1am on Friday morning.
The insider says that Kim's former husband of just 72 days, looked 'visibly upset'.
The settlement conference was scheduled for 8.30am, but the only New York to Los Angeles bound flight on Friday morning was 6.30am, arriving in at LAX at 9.15am.
That would mean that Kris would be have been late for the hearing anyway.
During the court hearing, Kim reportedly sat in the jury box, her hands crossed on her lap as the case was called.
A judge sealed the proceedings, citing rules mandating confidentiality for divorce settlement discussions.
If an agreement cannot be reached, a public trial on the couple's marriage is schedule to begin on May 6.
While Kris, who is seeking an
annulment based on his claim the pair's 72-day marriage was fraudulent,
did not appear in court, he was represented by three attorneys.
Kim arrived under heavy security and was brought into the courtroom through a back entrance.
Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and she kept her hands crossed on her lap while she listened to Judge Hank Goldberg explain to reporters that the hearing would be closed.
'I always wanted to be a juror,' she joked to deputies before taking her seat.
Kim and Kris are both expected to testify at the trial, which will focus on their relationship and whether elements of it were staged for the show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The Brooklyn Nets power forward has not yet laid out his specifics to support his fraud claim.

Kim is expecting a child with
boyfriend Kanye West later this year.
The raven-haired star, wearing white pants and a long green grey jacket, was not accompanied by her sisters or Kanye to court.
Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian are not on their sister's proposed witness list, but their mother, Kris Jenner, will likely testify about the pair's relationship.
Kris has not yet filed his witness list for the trial, which is expected to last a week.
Kris's no show comes after sources told Radaronline that the NBA player, who claims he was tricked into marrying Kim for the sake of her hit reality show, was eager to face his estranged wife in court.
'Kris has been absolutely trashed by the Kardashians in the press,' the source said.
'He has taken the high road and never spoken negatively about Kim, or her family, despite the hell they have put him through.'
The pro-baller wants the former couple's 72-day marriage annulled, while Kim, who denies duping Kris, wants their divorce granted.

Kris is also set to take the stand where he will be questioned about the show's legitimacy, according to a Radaronline source.
