RECEIVED, 07/04/201812:08:28 AM,Clerk,Supreme Court REINSTATEMENT, and states:

1. On June 18, 2018, this Court entered the Order appearing at Exhibit 1 that

states in relevant part: The petition for review is hereby dismissed on the Court's own motion based on petitioner's failure to timely file the jurisdictional brief in accordance with this Court's orders dated March 19, 2018, and May 15, 2018.

2. Overview and Background (Who Is Jennifer Banister? Judge Craggs?)

Florida courts lack jurisdiction over a contested foreclosure of a federal

HECM reverse mortgage. (FL AG). Trial court Docs #301 and #302 show I was

not lawfully served in this foreclosure. A certified copy of the Plaintiff’s verified

complaint shows it does not have a case number, and is not legally identifiable

with either the foreclosure or the lis pendens. I legally transferred the property to

my name on January 14, 2015. The 5DCA CaseMail system is unconstitutional.

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM, is a Federal Housing

Administration (FHA) non-recourse “reverse” mortgage program administered by the Secretary, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development

(Secretary or HUD) to enable home owners over 62 years old access the subject home's equity. 12 U.S.C. § 1715z20 et seq. and 24 C.F.R. Part 206. The U.S. 11th

Circuit in No. 13-11595-B invited a petition under 18 U.S.C. § 1651. (all writs act)

HUD has had jurisdiction at all times pertinent, from August 9, 2012 with

my HUD complaint under 7610.01, Section 4-19, through today and CFPB

Complaint 140304-000750, initiated by U.S. Senator Marco Rubio.

“Well, I don’t like the Supreme Court,” Posner says. “I don’t think it’s a real court. I think of it as basically … it’s like a House of Lords. It’s a quasi- political body. President, Senate, House of Representatives, Supreme Court. It’s very political. And they decide which cases to hear, which doesn’t strike me as something judges should do. You should take what comes. When you decide which case to hear it means you’ve decided the cases ahead of time.

petitions for rehearing to and including July 20, 2018 in 17-8682 and 17-8689.

• Florida lacks jurisdiction over a HECM - AG Bondi, FlaJur2d

4 13. On January 21, 2016, I made a public records request to Florida Attorney

General Pam Bondi that appears at Exhibit 6 and states:

Attorney General Pam Bondi Office of Attorney General State of Florida The Capitol PL-01 Tallahassee, FL 32399-1050

Public Records Request. F.S. § 119.07(1)(c) All public records requests shall be acknowledged promptly and in good faith. Access to public records and meetings, Art. I, Sec. 24, Fla. Const.

Dear Attorney General Bondi:

As the statewide elected official directed by the Florida Constitution to serve as the chief legal officer for the State of Florida (Exhibit 1):

1. Provide records showing jurisdiction of Florida courts over a disputed foreclosure of a federal reverse mortgage, called a HECM, or Home Equity Conversion Mortgage:

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM, is a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) “reverse” mortgage program administered by the Secretary, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (Secretary or HUD) to enable home owners over 62 years old access the subject home's equity. 12 U.S.C. § 1715z20 et seq. and 24 C.F.R. Part 206.

A HECM does not require a homeowner to make mortgage payments as a conventional mortgage does. Instead, a HECM does not become due and payable until the last surviving homeowner dies or no longer lives in the home. 12 U.S.C. § 1715-z20(j) Safeguard to prevent displacement of homeowner. The HECM becomes due and payable in full “if a mortgagor dies and the property is not the principal residence of at least one surviving mortgagor....and no other mortgagor retains title to the property.” 24 C.F.R. § 206.27(c).

5 2. On information and belief, when a substantial disputed issue of federal HECM law is a necessary element of the foreclosing Plaintiff’s state law claim that a HECM is due and payable, the U.S. district court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and the U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2 for “all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, [and] the laws of the United States, and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States:

The Constitution states only one command twice. The Fifth Amendment says to the federal government that no one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, uses the same eleven words, called the Due Process Clause, to describe a legal obligation of all states. These words have as their central promise an assurance that all levels of American government must operate within the law ("legality") and provide fair procedures. (Cornell Law LII) http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/due_process

A property right can be created only by state law. Once a property right is established, the determination of what process is due before that right can be deprived is a question answered by the federal Constitution. Kingsford v. Salt Lake City Sch. Dist., 247 F.3d 1123 (10th Cir. 2001).

U.S. Judge Thomas W. Thrash, Jr. in Thompson-El v. Bank of America, 1:12-CV-840- TWT, District Court, N.D. GA held in an Order entered December 12, 2012:

Federal question cases are those “arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. 28 U.S.C. § 1331 A case “arises under” federal law “if federal law creates the cause of action, or if a substantial disputed issue of federal law is a necessary element of a state law claim.” Pacheco de Perez v. AT&T Co., 139 F.3d 1368, 1373 (11th Cir. 1998) (citing Franchise Tax Bd. of Cal. v. Construction Laborers Vacation Trust for S. Cal., 463 U.S. 1, 13 (1983)).

Thank you for the courtesy of a response. Sincerely, Neil J. Gillespie (full signature block omitted)

6 14. On January 26, 2016, Leslie Jacobs, Public Records Coordinator, Office of the Attorney General, responded on behalf of Florida Attorney General Pam

Bondi, a response appearing at Exhibit 7, where she wrote:

Our Office does not have any documents responsive to your specific inquiry dated January 21, 2016 regarding Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM). The HECM is the reverse mortgage program run through the Federal Housing Authority. In furtherance of trying to assist you, additional information about that federal program may be found at: (old link, new link follows) https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/housing/sfh/hecm

15. I own a hard bound edition of Florida Jurisprudence 2d since 2007. My 2007

edition of FlaJur2d does NOT show any listings for,

HECM Home Equity Conversion Mortgage reverse mortgage individually, or under the mortgage heading.

16. I telephoned Thomson Reuters and was directed to Mitchell Waldman,

Principal Attorney Editor, Thomson Reuters, for Fla. Jur. 2d, Michigan Pleading &

Practice, or Nichols Illinois Civil Practice. I emailed Mr. Waldman, who was out of

the office, and I was directed to Marie Pesando. She replied: (Exhibit 8)

Dear Mr. Gillespie,

There is a reference to HECM in the current Housing Laws section 44. I was unable to locate any other references, but Mr. Waldman will be back in the office on Thursday and may be able to assist you further.

Marie

7 Marie Pesando Principal Attorney Editor Thomson Reuters [email protected]

The reference to HECM in the current Housing Laws section 44 pertains only to

Title XXX, SOCIAL WELFARE, Chapter 420, HOUSING, and not foreclosure.

• Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, but no reverse mortgage statute

17. Florida is a judicial foreclosure state. The citations to Florida’s foreclosure statutes are:

Florida Statutes Sections 702.01 through 702.11, and Florida Statutes Sections 45.031 through 45.0315.

Chapter 702, Foreclosure of Mortgages and Statutory Liens, is a forward foreclosure statute. Florida does not have a judicial reverse mortgage foreclose statute. Therefore, the Florida courts do not have jurisdiction.

• Trial court Docs #301 and #302 show I was not lawfully served

18. On April 6, 2018 I made a PRR to the Marion Co. Clerk. (Exhibit 9)

RE: Public Records Request (PRR), Article I, Section 24, Florida Constitution

Dear Mr. Ellspermann,

8 Sometime in early 2016, I believe, I notified your office that I was not lawfully served in 13.115.CA, and that the process server, Robert McGuinness, was incarcerated, see attached. I believe Mr. Harrell placed my correspondence on the record in 13.115.CA. This PRR is for a copy of that correspondence as it appears on the record in 13.115.CA. I have not been able to locate the document, and I do not have a DOC number for it. Thank you.

Sincerely, Neil J. Gillespie (full signature block omitted)

19. General Counsel Greg Harrell responded for the Clerk: (Exhibit 10)

Mr. Gillespie: The court records related to the correspondence you reference below appear to be DOC # 301, consisting of 58 pages, filed on March 15, 2016, and DOC # 302, consisting of 6 pages, filed on March 17, 2016. Both are showing on the docket. Please take a look at them and then confirm whether you still want us to provide you with copies of either or both. The cost would be $1 per page.

JUDICIARY Posner has 'absolutely no desire' to join SCOTUS, which 'isn’t a real court'

Like 1K Share Tweet Share submit

Judge Richard Posner gets a lot of attention for his opinions and his writing, but he’s not looking to leverage his fame to join the U.S. Supreme Court. Posner explained why he isn’t interested in an interview with the Daily Beast (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/11/07/how-i-write-richard-posner.html) about his compulsive writing habits. “First, I’m too old,” Posner said. “I’m 74 and they don’t appoint people my age.” The reviewer notes that Posner sounds “peppy,” spurring the Chicago-based federal appeals judge to elaborate. “Well, I don’t like the Supreme Court,” Posner says. “I don’t think it’s a real court. I think of it as basically … it’s like a House of Lords. It’s a quasi-political body. President, Senate, House of Representatives, Supreme Court. It’s very political. And they decide which cases to hear, which doesn’t strike me as something judges should do. You should take what comes. When you decide which case to hear it means you’ve decided the cases ahead of time. “Also, because I’m a compulsive writer, I like to write. … If you sit with eight other people [like the Supreme Court] you only get one-ninth of the cases to write. I’m not interested in that. Now the Supreme Court justices write very, very few majority opinions. Last year they saw 74 cases. Divide that by nine and that’s a little more than eight opinions a year. That’s ridiculous! I write around 90 opinions a year.” Posner says Supreme Court justices do boost their totals through dissenting and concurring opinions, but they don’t attract much interest. “I just wouldn’t enjoy the Supreme Court,” Posner says. “Absolutely no desire to be on it.” Posner also reveals in the interview that he works from home at least half the time, and one reason is his cat, Pixie. “I’m a very big cat person,” Posner says. Pixie is affectionate and “her little face falls” if Posner or his wife leaves the house. “The cat wants us at home,” he says.

Public Records Request. F.S. § 119.07(1)(c) All public records requests shall be acknowledged promptly and in good faith. Access to public records and meetings, Art. I, Sec. 24, Fla. Const.

Dear Attorney General Bondi:

As the statewide elected official directed by the Florida Constitution to serve as the chief legal officer for the State of Florida (Exhibit 1):

1. Provide records showing jurisdiction of Florida courts over a disputed foreclosure of a federal reverse mortgage, called a HECM, or Home Equity Conversion Mortgage:

A property right can be created only by state law. Once a property right is established, the determination of what process is due before that right can be deprived is a question answered by the federal Constitution. Kingsford v. Salt Lake City Sch. Dist., 247 F.3d 1123 (10th Cir. 2001).

U.S. Judge Thomas W. Thrash, Jr. in Thompson-El v. Bank of America, 1:12-CV-840- TWT, District Court, N.D. GA held in an Order entered December 12, 2012:

Federal question cases are those “arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. 28 U.S.C. § 1331 A case “arises under” federal law “if federal law creates the cause of action, or if a substantial disputed issue of federal law is a necessary element of a state law claim.” Pacheco de Perez v. AT&T Co., 139 F.3d 1368, 1373 (11th Cir. 1998) (citing Franchise Tax Bd. of Cal. v. Construction Laborers Vacation Trust for S. Cal., 463 U.S. 1, 13 (1983)).

Thank you for the courtesy of a response.

Dear Mr. Ellspermann:

Attached is a scan of page 1 of the Certified Copy of the Complaint in 2013-CA-115, that does not show a case number. The Plaintiff’s Verified Complaint to Foreclose Home Equity Conversion Mortgage is arguably the most important document in the case file. How is it possible that the Complaint does not show the case number?

The Clerk’s online docket does not show an image of the Complaint, which is missing at Document #3, Action Date 01-09-2013, Description, “PETITION/COMPLAINT NO DOC#”

Without an identifiable Complaint in the case file, this case is nonsense, in my opinion.

See PDF page 11 of the attached docket. For some reason, the document numbers are wildly out of order on page 11. Is that to add to the confusion of this nonsense case?

Provide records that may explain the lack of a case number on the Complaint, the Complaint image missing from the Clerk’s online docket, and docket doc. numbers wildly out of order.

Sincerely,

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Atlanta HUD Homeownership Center ATTN: Director, Program Support Division 40 Marietta Street, 8th Floor Atlanta, GA 30303-2806

Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. (RMA) RMS 2727 Spring Creek Drive Spring, TX 77373

Complaint: HUD Complaint, HUD Reverse Mortgage Handbook 7610.01, Section 4-19 Dispute: Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose, acct./loan no. 68011002615899

Dear HUD and RMA: RMS

Recently we found a material alteration to our HECM reverse mortgage made by interlineation after execution. (Exhibits 32 and 33). Please take notice that we DO NOT ratify the change. The interlineation is a hand-written alteration, not initialed and not dated, and vitiates the mortgage.

The interlineation is an attempt to add a new party to the reverse mortgage, Penelope M. Gillespie individually. The interlineation recently came to our attention when an attorney we consulted found the altered mortgage on the Marion County Clerk’s website. This mortgagee document differs from the mortgage documents we signed June 5, 2008 with no interlineation. On January 15, 2009 Bank of America provided us with copies of the mortgage documents that have no interlineation. (Exhibits 9 and 10). Therefore I conclude that the interlineation is evidence of fraud by the lender and/or lender-affiliated parties.

Under Florida law a material alteration voids the instrument and destroys the identity of the contract rendering it unenforceable. Bland v. Fidelity Trust Co., 71 Fla. 499, 71 So. 630 (1916).

Since a HECM reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan, the void contract is unenforceable, and the lender has no further means to collect the debt beyond the terms of the original documents.

In addition, a review of the file in this matter shows fraud and gross misconduct by the lender and lender-affiliated parties, including the HECM-approved reverse mortgage counselor.

This letter is a complaint to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as provided for in the HUD Reverse Mortgage Handbook 7610.01, Section 4-19 Concerns or Complaints Regarding a HECM Lender or Reverse Mortgage Counselor.

The records of RMS are not accurate. There are three borrowers, including Neil Gillespie, who is currently living in the home. Therefore RMS’s “Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose” dated June 8, 2012 is improper. (Exhibit A). There are no grounds for acceleration of the debt.

12 HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 2 An “Assignment of Mortgage” provided by RMS in response to our RESPA request shows Neil Gillespie as one of three original borrowers. (Exhibit 1). This has been our position since the beginning when we all signed the loan documents June 5, 2008.

A review of this reverse mortgage shows problems with the documents and business practices used to solicit and make this loan. Those issues include fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, predatory lending, and negligence toward a borrower who lacked legal competency, to steer us into a HECM reverse mortgage that charged higher fees and stripped us of home equity.

Borrower Penelope Gillespie suffered from Alzheimer’s dementia at the time of the HECM reverse mortgage and counseling session. Ms. Gillespie lacked capacity to make a contract, and died of dementia September 16, 2009. Neil Gillespie was Ms. Gillespie’s primary caregiver and had Durable Power of Attorney (POA), but the HUD counselor, lenders, and related parties failed to require the POA. The record shows that this loan failed to comply with requirements related to competency as set forth in the HUD Reverse Mortgage Handbooks 4235.1 and 7601.1.

At the time we believed that Ms. Gillespie’s lack of capacity was mitigated by the fact that Neil Gillespie and Mark Gillespie were also borrowers on the loan. However if it is determined that Neil Gillespie and Mark Gillespie are not borrowers on the loan, then Ms. Gillespie’s lack of capacity is very significant, and the reverse mortgage is void or voidable and must be canceled.

Neil Gillespie a disabled adult. This is a request for disability accommodation. Neil Gillespie is disabled as defined by the following:

a. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. §§ 701 et. seq. b. Section 825.101(4), Florida Statutes. c. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et seq. d. ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA).

1. Fraudulent Assignment From Liberty Reverse Mortgage to Bank of America

Liberty Reverse Mortgage unlawfully assigned this reverse mortgage to Bank of America before the loan closed. A “Corporation Assignment of Deed of Trust/Mortgage” made June 3, 2008 by Liberty Reverse Mortgage to Bank of America “grants, sells, assigns, and transfers” “all beneficial interest under that Certain Deed of Trust/Mortgage dated May 29, 2008 executed by Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie, as Co-Trustees of The Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement dated February 10, 1997, Borrower, to Liberty Reverse Mortgage, Inc.”. (Exhibit 2). This assignment is fraudulent on its face because no deed was executed on May 29, 2008 by any of the parties. The deed was executed on June 5, 2008.

The assignment made June 3, 2008 by Jessica Yee, Asst. Secretary of Liberty Reverse Mortgage, shows evidence of fraud because the deed was not executed by the parties until June 5, 2008. Yet Ms. Yee certified under “PENALTY OF PERJURY” before notary Bernadette Perez on June 3, 2008 that the deed was executed May 29, 2008 when the deed was NOT executed. (Exhibit 2). HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 3 The fraudulent assignment of June 3, 2008 did not comply with RESPA, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (12 U.S.C. 2605), including notice of the assignment. (Exhibit 3).

Bank of America notified us by letter that effective July 1, 2011 “…the servicing of reverse mortgage loans by our subsidiary-BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, will transfer to our parent company-Bank of America, N.A.”. This is a request for a copy of the July 1, 2011 assignment.

Also, Jessica Yee made a “Direct Endorsement Allonge” - without recourse - May 29, 2008 that predates execution of the Note by a week. The Note was signed June 5, 2008. (Exhibit 4).

The original settlement date of May 29, 2008 was canceled because our attorney Robert Stermer became ill and could not attend. The settlement was rescheduled, and closed June 5, 2008.

Neil Gillespie had an existing and ongoing banking relationship with Park Avenue Bank (PAB), consisting of a monthly automatic deposit of his disability check and a small savings account. That existing relationship was the basis for going to PAB for a HECM reverse mortgage.

A recent review shows that the HECM residential loan application was not accurate. Fannie Mae loan form (no. 1009, 05/2004) signed by Penelope Gillespie and Liz Baize of Park Avenue Bank on June 5, 2008 explicitly states in the opening paragraph that “Co-borrower information must be provided when a person other than the “Borrower”…is a co-owner of the real property that will be used as a basis for loan qualification…”. (Exhibit 5). (see page four (4), paragraph 1, Instructions for completing the residential loan application for reverse mortgages).

Contrary to law, the application does not show that the property title is held in an Inter Vivos (Living) Trust. The application incorrectly shows the property held in the sole name of Penelope M. Gillespie. This application was completed by Liz Baize of Park Avenue Bank, the loan originator, and signed June 5, 2008 by Ms. Baize. This incorrect information is repeated in the attached Addendum. As a factual matter, the quit-claim deed is titled to Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie, as Co-Trustees of the Gillespie Family Living Trust.

Liz Baize, Park Avenue Bank, Financial Title Company, and Liberty Reverse Mortgage all knew that the property was not titled in the name of Penelope M. Gillespie. The Borrower’s Escrow Instructions, dated May 28, 2008 by Financial Title Company, shows: (Exhibit 6)

“…the property described in Preliminary report issued by Mercury Transaction Services, Report No. 42613725, dated April 16, 2008, showing title vested in Penelope M. Gillespie and Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie, as Co-Trustees of the Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement dated February 10, 1997, describing the property known as: 8092 SW 115th Loop, Ocala, FL 34481.”

Nonetheless, Liz Baize and Park Avenue Bank certified the false information as correct. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 4 Furthermore, on page three (3) of the application, part VII, Acknowledgment and Agreement, item 10, representations were made as to the value of the property by Liz Baize, Park Avenue Bank, the appraisal company, Liberty Reverse Mortgage, and the HUD HECM consumer reverse mortgage counselor Susan Gray/CCCS/MMI. Representations of property value were made by these parties in various financial schedules and loan projections, described in detail below.

An earlier HECM residential loan application dated April 25, 2008 signed by Penelope Gillespie and Liz Baize/Park Avenue Bank is essentially the same as June 5th application, and contains the same false information about the title to the property. (Exhibit 7).

3. Original Settlement May 29, 2008 Canceled Due To Attorney Illness

The original settlement date of May 29, 2008 was canceled because our attorney Robert Stermer became ill and could not attend. The settlement was rescheduled, and closed June 5, 2008.

Liz Baize of Park Avenue Bank, the loan originator, provided Neil Gillespie with copies of the unsigned documents from the canceled closing of May 29, 2008, along with a handwritten note on bank letterhead that read: (Exhibit 8)

Neil, Received permission to give you this copy for review in the event you want to pick up again next Thurs. If you decide to confirm next Thurs at 2:00 a 48 hour notice would be good. Thank you. Liz.

Liz Baize hand delivered the documents to Neil Gillespie at our home. Ms. Baize provided 149 pages of HECM loan documents, including an Estimated Borrowers Closing Statement that shows three (3) borrowers: Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie, and Mark Gillespie. (Printed by Fatima Pacheco on 05/28/08 at 1:55:48PM).

Liz Baize also provided “Borrower’s Escrow Instructions” that shows the property title vested in the names of Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie, and Mark Gillespie, as Co-Trustees of the Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement dated February 10, 1997. (Exhibits 6 and 8). Ms. Baize provided copies of other documents that also showed three (3) borrowers, such as the HECM Reverse Mortgage (first and second) and the HECM Note (first and second).

Also included was a Notice of Assignment, Sale or Transfer of Servicing Rights: (Exhibit 3)

You are hereby notified as a requirement of Section 6 of the Real Estate Settlement

Procedures Act (RESPA) (12 U.S.C. 2605) that the servicing of your mortgage loan, that is, the right to collect payments from you, is being assigned, sold or transferred from Liberty Reverse Mortgage, Inc. to Bank of America, N.A effective June 03, 2008

Liberty Reverse Mortgage went ahead with the assignment June 3, 2008, even though the loan did not close May 29, 2008. The loan closed June 5, 2008, two days later. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 5 4. Original HECM Mortgage and Note Shows Three Borrowers

The original HECM Mortgage and Note shows three borrowers. Neil Gillespie provided copies of these documents to RMA in a RESPA request dated May 14, 2012. RMA returned the copies.

The HECM documents in Exhibits 9 through 12 were provided by Tom DeBeauchamp of Bank of America to Penelope Gillespie January 15, 2009 by FedEx. (Exhibit 34). No cover letter was provided by Bank of America, just 126 pages of copies. This was in response to our request to Bank of America for copies of signed documents from the June 5, 2008 settlement.

a. The HECM reverse mortgage documents (both first and second mortgages) show three (3) mortgagors as borrowers: (Exhibits 9 and 10).

“THIS MORTGAGE ("Security Instrument") is given on June 05, 2008. The mortgagor is Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie, as Co-Trustees of The Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement dated February 10, 1997, whose address is 8092 SW 115th Loop, Ocala, FL 34481 ("Borrower").”

b. The HECM adjustable rate Note documents (both first and second Notes) defines the term “Borrower” in paragraph 1, definitions: (Exhibits 11 and 12)

“1. DEFINITIONS "Borrower" means each person signing at the end of this Note.”

The note show three (3) persons signed, each as are borrowers: Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie, as co-trustees of The Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement.

c. Co-trustees are persons and therefore borrowers as defined by the Note. This definition is consistent with HUD’s model forms in Appendixes 2 and 3 to HUD handbook 4235.1. Because co-trustees are persons and therefore borrowers, the trust provision in the mortgage is ambiguous and should be construed in favor of the borrower(s). Paragraph 9(e) of the mortgage, last sentence, states: “A trust shall not be considered an occupant or be considered as having a principal residence for purposes of this Paragraph 9.”

Taken on its face as true, the trust is not an occupant, nor does it have the property as its principal residence. A trust is a legal fiction and does not reside anywhere. Co-trustees are people, and "Borrower" means each person signing at the end of this Note. Neil Gillespie is a person, a co-trustee, and a borrower residing in the property.

5. Material Alteration to the Original HECM Mortgage

A material alteration was made by handwritten interlineation, with no initials and no date, to the original HECM mortgage sometime after the parties signed the mortgage on June 5, 2008. Please take notice that we DO NOT ratify the change. The altered mortgage was filed June 25, 2008 with the Marion County Clerk of Court. This altered mortgage came to the attention of Neil Gillespie July 12, 2012 by reading the official record on the Marion County Clerk’s website. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 6 A copy of the altered HECM mortgage accompanies this complaint as Exhibit 32. A copy of the altered HECM second mortgage accompanies this complaint as Exhibit 33.

The following material alterations were made by handwritten interlineation to the HECM mortgage after the fact, and not initialed or dated by any party to acknowledge the changes.

a. A material alteration was made to the HECM mortgage by way of a handwritten interlineation above the name of Penelope M. Gillespie in the second sentence that reads “individually and as trustee”. This material alteration was not initialed or dated by any party.

b. A material alteration was made to the HECM second mortgage by way of a handwritten interlineation above the name of Penelope M. Gillespie in the second sentence that reads “individually and as”. This material alteration was not initialed or dated by any party.

c. Someone also removed on the HECM mortgage the printed words “prepared by” located under the Liberty Reverse Mortgage address block on the first page, and added the handwritten words “Prepared By:” over the same Liberty Reverse Mortgage address block. This alteration was not initialed or dated by any party.

d. Someone also removed on the HECM second mortgage the printed words “prepared by” located under the Liberty Reverse Mortgage address block on the first page, and added the handwritten words “Prepared By:” over the same Liberty Reverse Mortgage address block. This alteration was not initialed or dated by any party.

e. On the HECM mortgage someone added to the signature block the property address in handwritten script, and asterisks by the names Penelope M. Gillespie and Neil J. Gillespie. The name of Mark Gillespie was crossed out in this signature block. In the signature block for Mark Gillespie, someone added the property address in handwritten script, and crossed out the names of Penelope M. Gillespie and Neil J. Gillespie. These alteration were not initialed or dated by any party.

6. Property Deed Shows Vesting to Three Owners - First American Title Insurance Company

A quit-claim deed to the property at 8092 SW 115th Loop shows vesting to Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie, as Co-Trustees of The Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement dated February 10, 1997. A copy of the deed was provided to us April 4, 2011 by First American Title Insurance Company, along with a copy of the Florida Department of Revenue, Return for Transfers of Interest in Real Property. (Exhibit 13).

7. HUD - HECM Consumer Reverse Mortgage Counseling

Penelope Gillespie and Neil Gillespie attended telephonically April 22, 2008 HECM consumer reverse mortgage counseling with Susan Gray of Consumer Credit Counseling Services, Money Management International Incorporated (CCCS/MMI). MMI is located in Beaumont, Texas.

Counseling is required by HUD for the purpose of providing to borrowers “…information about the implications of and alternatives to a reverse mortgage.” Ms. Gray certified in accordance HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 7 with Section 255 of the National Housing Act and 24CFR 206.41, that she discussed in detail items 1 through 7 listed on the certificate, including number 3, “The financial implications of entering into a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage.” (Exhibit 14)

The “counseling” provided by MMI did not meet requirements set forth in the HUD Reverse Mortgage Handbook. The financial information provided by MMI has since proved wildly inaccurate. The session was perfunctory and did not provide any actual counseling as required.

HUD HECM Reverse Mortgage - Very Complex Financial Product

A HUD HECM Reverse Mortgage is a very complex financial product. The consequences to the borrower, the family and the estate are significant and life changing. Those consequences can strip borrowers of home equity, threaten families with foreclosure, and destabilize communities.

HUD has published at least two Reverse Mortgage Handbooks, HUD handbook 4235.1 REV-1 issued November 18, 1994, and HUD handbook 7610.1 REV-5 issued May 2010. At the time of the HUD counseling session and reverse mortgage, we did not know that a handbook existed. Parts of the handbooks are similar, but the Appendixes are not. HUD handbook 7610.1 has four (4) Appendices, and HUD handbook 4235.1 has twenty-three (23) Appendixes. Each handbook exceeds 180 pages. Below is a link to the HUD handbooks and other HUD publications. http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/administration/hudclips/handbooks/ hsgh

Appendix 4 to HUD handbook 7610.1 is the “HECM Counseling Protocol”, and as the name suggests, consists of one hundred one (101) pages of counseling protocol for HECM loans, and includes the following: (NOTE: HUD also has a separate, HECM Housing Counseling Protocol 7610.0 online http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=7610-0_COMBINED.PDF)

Appendix 4 states in section II. Reverse Mortgage Counselor Roles and Responsibilities, that the responsibility of the counselor includes: (page 80) HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 8

Reviewing the Client’s Level of Understanding

“The counselor must make specific efforts to review the client’s level of understanding of reverse mortgages, including the following:

1. The basic mechanics, requirements and implications of a reverse mortgage; 2. The impact on the client’s personal financial situation of the particular loan in which he or she is interested; and 3. The client’s responsibilities and requirements for residency under the mortgage

Review Tool Attachment B.10 provides a list of questions the counselor must ask to assess client comprehension. Counselors must ask questions about reverse mortgages in general and questions appropriate to the specific client situation. The client must be able to answer five of the ten questions in order to receive the counseling certificate during the first session. These questions will be interspersed throughout the session. The counselor will ask questions in the spirit of a review throughout the counseling session, rather than an exam at the end of the session, in order to avoid intimidating or insulting the client.

The counselor may discontinue the session without issuing the certificate if it is apparent early in the counseling session that the client is not able to understand the material. Refer to Attachment B.10 for the appropriate course of action in this case.

Attachment B.10, “Reviewing the Client’s Level of Understanding” is attached to this complaint as Exhibit 42. This four (4) page attachment begins:

The content of a reverse mortgage counseling session is comprehensive and complex. A truly informed decision to apply for a reverse mortgage requires both an understanding of the essential elements of the loan and the ability to apply that knowledge to the client’s individual situation. Part of the counselor’s role is to review, during and at the end of every session, whether the client has been adequately informed and has a level of understanding indicating he or she grasps the fundamental facts of a reverse mortgage.

Other requirements set forth in Attachment B.10 include: (Exhibit 41)

During the session, counselors must ask ten questions to determine whether the client has understood the essential features of the reverse mortgage. These questions explore some of the most fundamental facts about reverse mortgages – things that every adequately informed client must know.

Clients must answer five questions correctly to receive the Counseling Certificate at the initial counseling session. For additional instructions on what counselors should do if the client cannot answer five questions correctly see the section titled Results of the Review….Whenever possible, avoid yes/no questions. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 9

If there are two or more borrowers, the counselor may request that each client alternate answering questions. In addition, if one client appears to be quieter and less involved during the session, the counselor may direct the questions entirely to that client, while asking the other client to remain silent. If the quiet client cannot respond, then the counselor may allow the other one to answer the question. The counselor must avoid allowing a dominant client to completely take over the question and answer exchange.

If the client is accompanied by a legal representative (e.g., someone who has durable power of attorney), direct the questions to the client whenever possible, asking the agent to remain silent until the client has attempted to answer. If the client is unable to respond adequately, the certificate should be signed by the legal representative only and should include the notation that the client was unable to fully participate in counseling.

Results of the Review Counselors must make detailed notes about difficulties the client has in answering questions, particularly when the answers are grossly inadequate, as this will help support any decision to withhold or delay issuing the certificate.

Because these questions are meant to test the most basic reverse mortgage concepts, if the client cannot provide adequate answers for five questions, there may be concern about his or her ability to make an adequately informed reverse mortgage decision. If that is the case, the counselor must not issue the counseling certificate after the first counseling session, but must propose additional ways to help the client gain the necessary knowledge. These options must meet the client’s specific needs.

During any additional counseling sessions, the counselor will ask the review questions again. If the client again is not able to correctly answer five out of the ten questions, the counselor will ask the client if they would like additional time and invite them to come back at a later date after they have had more time to study the materials. A certificate cannot be issued until the client correctly answers 5 out of the 10 questions.

Each handbook references the other, and both appear relevant to a reverse mortgage made today. In addition, the HUD handbooks not only make reference each other, but to many additional laws and regulations, including a number of civil rights laws. For example, HUD handbook 7610.1, Chapter 3, Section 3-1 F. Civil Rights, states:

F. Civil Rights. All participating agencies must administer their housing counseling programs in accordance with and remain in compliance with corresponding Departmental regulations and guidance and the following nondiscrimination regulatory and legislative requirements:

a. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, b. Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, c. Executive Order 11063, d. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 10 e. The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 f. Americans with Disabilities g. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.

These requirement are designed to prevent discrimination in the delivery of benefits and services because of race, color, religion (creed), sex, national origin, age, familial status or disability.

Because of the complex nature of a HECM Reverse Mortgage, participating agencies must offer and be able to provide counseling, as opposed to just education. (HUD handbook 7610.1, 3-1 A).

A. Counseling. Participating agencies must offer and be able to provide counseling, as opposed to just education, to current and potential homeowners or tenants to assist them in improving their housing conditions and in meeting the responsibilities of homeownership or tenancy. Participating agencies must provide counseling on one or more of the topics outlined in Paragraph 3-6.

Counseling activities must be limited to the geographic area specified in the agency’s approved housing counseling work plan. (HUD handbook 7610.1, 3-1 E).

E. Geographic Scope. Regardless of the setting or format, counseling activities must be limited to the geographic area specified in the agency’s approved housing counseling work plan. For example, agencies may only offer telephone counseling to clients in their approved geographic area. With HUD’s approval, or at HUD’s discretion, geographic scope can be expanded or reduced.

In order for a client to be classified as counseled under HUD’s Housing Counseling program, the client must receive all of the basic services outlined in §214.300 (6)(b) and Items A – E below. (HUD handbook 7610.1, Chapter 3, Section 5). A housing counselor must perform and document these activities. (only Section 3-5 D is shown here).

3-5 D. Financial Analysis. Every housing counseling session requires an analysis of the client’s unique financial situation. This includes but is not limited to: 1. A review of the client's income, expenses, spending habits, home values and use of credit. 2. A comparative analysis of the client’s spending habits to determine if the client’s habits are more suitable for renting than owning. 3. The establishment of a household budget that the client can afford.

HUD states that all borrowers on the deed must have counseling. See page 34, HUD handbook 7610.1, Chapter 4, Section 4-1 E.

E. Counseling Requirement for Home Equity Conversion Mortgage HECM) Borrowers. Section 255(d) of the National Housing Act and the implementing FHA regulations at 24 CFR § 206.41 state that all prospective HECM borrowers must receive reverse mortgage counseling prior to obtaining a HECM. This counseling must be received from eligible HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 11 counselors working for participating agencies approved to provide this statutorily required counseling.

To meet the statutory requirements for obtaining a HECM, the prospective borrower must receive one-on-one reverse mortgage counseling and be issued a HECM counseling certificate. Counselors are allowed to provide the required reverse mortgage counseling to a group of related family members if they are documented on the deed together.

HUD states any person(s) listed on the deed must receive reverse mortgage counseling, including beneficiaries of a life estate trust. See page 42, HUD handbook 7610.1, Chapter 4, Section 4-14.

4-14 HECM Borrowers – Persons Required to Receive Reverse Mortgage Housing Counseling. All eligible HECM borrower(s) meeting the requirements of Handbook 4235.1, including all eligible mortgagors on the property deed, must receive reverse mortgage counseling covering the topics outlined in this chapter.

In the event that multiple eligible borrowers shown on the deed are not located in the same place, counseling may be provided to these parties by one counselor via teleconference call or the individuals may receive counseling separately from different counselors. However, HUD expects counseling agencies to avoid unnecessary separate counseling, and to make every practical effort to counsel the borrower(s) and any related parties simultaneously.

A. Person(s) on the Deed. Any person(s) listed on the deed must receive reverse mortgage counseling. (NOTE: Mark Gillespie is on the deed and did not receive counseling)

B. Beneficiaries of Life Estates. FHA will insure a HECM on property held in the name of a trust with beneficiaries according to the provisions described in the HECM Handbook 4235.1, Rev.1 and Mortgagee Letter (ML) 93-22. The HECM Handbook and ML 93-22 provide, in part, that all beneficiaries of the trust should be eligible HECM borrowers at the time of origination and until the mortgage is released. Current trust beneficiaries or individuals who are eligible HECM borrowers and are seeking a HECM loan must attend reverse mortgage counseling and sign the HECM counseling certificate.

The following names are listed on the quit-claim deed, HECM Mortgage, and HECM Note: Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie, and Mark Gillespie, as Co-Trustees of the Gillespie Family Living Trust. Mark Gillespie did not receive one-on-one reverse mortgage counseling and was not issued a HECM counseling certificate. Neil Gillespie received one-on-one reverse mortgage counseling and was issued a HECM counseling certificate.

Susan Gray/CCCS/MMI provided Penelope Gillespie and Neil Gillespie a HECM counseling package by mail April 23, 2008. (Exhibit 14). The counseling package contained the following:

a. Two Certificates of HECM Counseling, one for homeowner Penelope Gillespie and one for homeowner Neil Gillespie. The HUD certificate is on form OMB Approval No. 2502- HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 12 0524. An attached note states: “If you decide to proceed with a Reverse Mortgage, you will need to give BOTH of these ORIGINAL CERTIFICATES to the lender of your choice.

b. Reverse Mortgage Comparison - Selected Plans, prepared for Penelope Gillespie and Neil Gillespie. (Exhibit 14.1).

c. FHA's Monthly Adjustable Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Loan Estimated Amortization Schedule for Penelope Gillespie and Neil Gillespie. (Exhibit 14.2). The estimate makes certain assumptions, including, “Assumes an INITIAL Interest Rate of 3.170% And Home Price Appreciation of 4%.” The estimate makes no provision for falling home prices.

d. Four (4) additional pages of reverse mortgage information. (Exhibit 14).

A copy of the Certificate of HECM Counseling was signed by Penelope Gillespie. (Exhibit 15). The lender did not submit a signed Certificate of HECM Counseling for Neil Gillespie.

A voice recording of the telephonic counseling session was made in .wav format. A CD copy is enclosed. All calls made to home office telephone extension (352) 854-7807 are recorded for quality assurance purposes pursuant to Florida Statutes chapter 934, section 934.02(4)(a)(1) and the holding of Royal Health Care Servs., Inc. v. Jefferson-Pilot Life Ins. Co., 924 F.2d 215 (11th Cir. 1991). This was to keep an accurate record of Ms. Gillespie’s medically-related calls from doctors, and as a disability accommodation for Neil Gillespie.

Some of the information provided to Penelope and Neil Gillespie April 22, 2008 by Susan Gray/CCCS/MMI during this counseling session was not accurate. For example, Ms. Gray said (at 26 minutes, 21 seconds in the recording) that in year 10 the balance on the loan would be $150,000, and the home value would be $207,000, resulting in equity of $57,000. However today, four years into the reverse mortgage, the home value is $85,564, resulting in an equity deficit of -$22,492 ($85,564 value - $108,056 RMA demand Jun-08-12).

At the end of the call, Ms. Gray said “Your home should maintain positive equity for a long time”. (at 33 minutes, 50 seconds in the recording). Clearly this was inaccurate information. Ms. Gray did not state that the property could decline in value. When Neil Gillespie asked about the buyer’s margin interest rate, Ms. Gray was unable to answer, and said “and I’ll be honest Neil, I don’t understand the mathematical reasoning either other than it has something to do with the floor that was used when they made up these factor tables”. When Neil Gillespie asked what “floor” meant, Ms. Gray did not know. (at 41 minutes, 30 seconds).

The “FHA's Monthly Adjustable Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Loan Estimated Amortization Schedule for Penelope Gillespie and Neil Gillespie” shows at year four (4) an ending loan balance of $118,550, a home value of $163,780, and a retained equity of $45,230. (Exhibit 14.2). The actual home value today is $85,564, and the current loan balance is $108,056 per RMA’s demand letter of June 8, 2012, resulting in an equity deficit of -$22,492. The gross equity difference, as compared to the figures in Exhibit 14.2, is $67,722. (-$22,492 vs. $45,230). HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 13 HUD and its agent Ms. Gray/CCCS/MMI owed Penelope Gillespie, Neil Gillespie, Mark Gillespie, and the Gillespie Family Living Trust, a fiduciary duty, and a duty of competence.

The financial disclosures provided by HUD/Susan Gray/CCCS/MMI about this reverse mortgage were false, both in print form, and during the telephonic counseling session April 22, 2008.

8. HUD HECM Counseling For Borrowers Lacking Legal Competency

For borrowers lacking legal competency, the counseling session shall be conducted with a person holding a power of attorney (POA) for the borrower. HUD handbook 7610.1, Chapter 4, Section 4-14 C, and elsewhere:

C. Borrower’s Legal Representative. For borrowers lacking legal competency, the counseling session shall be conducted with a person holding a power of attorney (POA) for the borrower, or a court-appointed conservator or guardian.

HUD handbook 7610.1 states, Section 4-18 F. Issuing the Certificate of Counseling. (relevant part)

A certificate of counseling may be withheld if the counselor believes that the counseling recipient did not understanding basic information about reverse mortgages.

A counseling agency must withhold a certificate from a client who cannot successfully answer five of the ten review questions that are provided in Attachment B.10 of the Protocol. The client will be given adequate opportunities to correctly respond to the review questions in accordance with the requirements in Attachment B.10. The certificate cannot be withheld based on lack of payment.

The recording of the HUD telephonic counseling session April 22, 2008 with Susan Gray/CCCS/MMI shows Penelope Gillespie did not actively participate in the call or the counseling. Ms. Gray did not ask Ms. Gillespie to “successfully answer five of the ten review questions” or make any effort to determine if she understood basic information about reverse mortgages. Therefore Ms. Gray should not have issued the certificate to Penelope Gillespie.

Penelope Gillespie was not able to understand basic information about a reverse mortgage, or benefit from the telephonic counseling provided by Susan Gray/CCCS/MMI.

Penelope Gillespie Lacked Legal Competency

Penelope Gillespie suffered from Alzheimer’s dementia and other serious aliments at the time of the HECM reverse mortgage and counseling session. Ms. Gillespie lacked capacity to make a contract in 2008, and died of dementia September 16, 2009.

Neil Gillespie was appointed attorney-in-fact several times by Ms. Gillespie under Florida law, including a Durable Power of Attorney (POA) made February 21, 2006. A copy of the POA is provided as Exhibit 31. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 14 The record shows that this loan failed to comply with requirements related to competency as set forth in HUD handbooks 4235.1 and 7610.1. Neil Gillespie was Penelope Gillespie’s primary caregiver and had POA, but the lenders and related parties failed to require the use of the POA.

Dr. Gregory J. Howell, MD, of the Ocala Neurodiagnostic Center, treated Ms. Gillespie for dementia from November 2005 through December 2006. During an office visit May 8, 2006, Dr. Howell said Ms. Gillespie was not competent to make financial decisions, or to give things away. Dr. Howell said someone must have POA to manage the affairs of Ms. Gillespie. Neil Gillespie brought Ms. Gillespie to the office visit on May 8, 2006 and made notes. This office visit was a follow-up to Dr. Howell’s written comments of March 27, 2006 opining about the competence of Ms. Gillespie. Dr. Howell wrote “It sounds to me like pt. has Alz. Dementia & needs supervision”. (double underline).

Neil Gillespie had written to Dr. Howell March 21, 2006 about certain transactions involving the daughter of Ms. Gillespie. At the time Ms. Gillespie was not able to drive, not able to balance her check book, and lacked understanding of her finances and legal matters. Ms. Gillespie needed help with meal preparation, shopping, housework, and sometimes dressing. Ms. Gillespie was dependent on Neil Gillespie to administer her medication, and for all aspects of her healthcare, since December 2005. Ms. Gillespie suffered an adverse reaction to Rythmol, an anti-arrhythmic heart medication. Ms. Gillespie was hospitalized December 6, 2005 through December 23, 2005, followed by inpatient nursing care through January 16, 2006. The incident was life-threatening.

Neil Gillespie was caregiver to Penelope Gillespie as defined by § 825.101(2), Florida Statutes:

(2) “Caregiver” means a person who has been entrusted with or has assumed responsibility for the care or the property of an elderly person or disabled adult. “Caregiver” includes, but is not limited to, relatives, court-appointed or voluntary guardians, adult household members, neighbors, health care providers, and employees and volunteers of facilities as defined in subsection (7).

Neil Gillespie was appointed “Designated Health Care Surrogate” by Penelope Gillespie under Florida law February 21, 2006.

Neil Gillespie was designated proxy by Penelope Gillespie under her “Advance Medical Directive” or living will May 4, 2006 under Florida law.

HUD handbook 4235.1 REV-1, 4-6 POWER OF ATTORNEY AND CONSERVATORSHIP GUIDELINES. The following guidelines apply to all phases of HECM loan processing:

2) Borrowers lacking legal competency: a. Incompetent borrower may not sign the mortgage loan application. c. A person holding a durable power of attorney specifically designed to survive incapacity and avoid the need for court proceedings, may execute any necessary documents, including the mortgage loan application. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 15 (1) To be valid, a durable power of attorney must be prepared when the "principal" is competent to understand the nature and significance of the instrument. (2) The durable power of attorney must comply with State laws regarding signatures, notarization, witnesses, and recordation.

(4-6) C. Counseling Session. For borrowers lacking legal competency, the counseling session may be conducted with a person holding a power of attorney, or with a court-appointed conservator or guardian.

(4-7A.) b. If the borrower lacks legal competency and the loan application is being executed by a person holding a durable power of attorney, or by a court-appointed conservator, the face-to-face interview must be conducted with the person holding the power of attorney or conservator.

HUD handbook 4235.1, CHAPTER 6. CLOSING AND ENDORSEMENT

6-7 BORROWERS LACKING LEGAL COMPETENCY. Power of attorney (durable or otherwise) may be used for closing documents. Any power of attorney must comply with State law and allow for the Note to be legally enforced in that jurisdiction (see Paragraph 4-6).

HUD handbook 7610.1, CHAPTER 5. RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING

5-7 Counseling File. The housing counseling agency must maintain a separate confidential file documenting each unique, distinct provision of counseling services provided to a client, as described in §214.300 and Chapter 3.

9. Misleading Financial Projections from Liberty Reverse Mortgage

Liberty Reverse Mortgage, in an effort to sell its reverse mortgage product to Penelope Gillespie, Neil Gillespie, and Mark Gillespie, made and provided a number of financial calculations. The Gillespie family relied on the information and made a reverse mortgage. Information provided by Liberty and relied upon by the Gillespie family has proved not accurate.

Liberty Reverse Mortgage, Financial Title Company, and Park Avenue Bank owed Penelope Gillespie, Neil Gillespie, Mark Gillespie, and The Gillespie Family Living Trust, a fiduciary duty, and a duty of competence. Liberty breached that duty. As a result of the breach of duty, the Gillespie family sustained damages, the loss of home equity and threat of foreclosure. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 16

Our reverse mortgage made June 5, 2008 is now over four years old. According to financial calculations provided to us by Liberty Reverse Mortgage, we should have a positive net equity. Instead we have negative equity of -$22,492.

HUD creates false and misleading financial information through its Home Equity Conversion Mortgages calculator for Housing industry professionals. (Exhibit 42). In turn the Housing industry professionals use this false and misleading information to sell HECM reverse mortgages to unsuspecting and vulnerable senior citizens. As shown in our case, this practice strips borrowers of home equity and threatens families with foreclosure.

Liz Baize/Park Avenue Bank provided on April 25, 2008 “The Reverse Mortgage Analyst”, signed by Liz Baize/Park Avenue Bank and Penelope Gillespie. (Exhibit 16). The figures provided assume a 3.66% per year annual interest rate and 4.00% per year future home appreciation. The Reverse Mortgage Analyst makes no provision for falling home prices. The Reverse Mortgage Analyst shows in year four (4) a loan balance of $100,839, a home value of $146,232, and net equity of $35,158. The gross equity difference today is $57,650. (-$22,492 vs. $35,158). (Exhibit 16). (Note: The page numbers on this document are not consecutive, suggesting pages may be missing).

A letter to Penelope Gillespie dated May 16, 2008 from Frank A. Castillo of Liberty Reverse Mortgage states “We have enclosed updated figures for your review.” (Exhibit 17). Note that the letter from Mr. Castillo is on plain paper, not company letterhead. This may be due to the fact that Liberty Reverse Mortgage had been acquired by Genworth Financial Inc.

The Reverse Mortgage Analyst figures assume a 3.17% per year annual interest rate and 4.00% per year future home appreciation. The Reverse Mortgage Analyst makes no provision for falling home prices. The Reverse Mortgage Analyst shows in year four (4) a loan balance of $101,269, a home value of $154,421, and net equity of $42,343. The gross equity difference today is $64,839. (-$22,492 vs. $42,343). (Exhibit 17).

Liberty Reverse Mortgage provided at the closing June 5, 2008 “The Reverse Mortgage Analyst” signed by Penelope Gillespie. The figures provided assume a 3.66% per year annual interest rate and 4.00% per year future home appreciation. The estimate makes no provision for falling home prices. The Reverse Mortgage Analyst shows in year four (4) a loan balance of $114,502 a home value of $154,421, and net equity of $29,109. The gross equity difference today is $51,601. (-$22,492 vs. $29,109). (Exhibit 18).

10. Financial Title Company Shows Three Borrowers on Final Closing Statement

Financial Title Company (California), provided two (2) different Final Closing Statements dated May 29, 2008. Each statement shows three borrowers: Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie, and Mark Gillespie. One closing statement is on the letterhead of Financial Title Company. The other statement is on HUD OMB Form 2502-0265. (Exhibit 19). HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 17 Each statement shows an incorrect closing date. The loan closed June 5, 2008, not May 29th. Each closing statement shows that the settlement took place at 81 Blue Ravine Road, #220, Folsom, CA, 95630. This is incorrect. The settlement took place at Park Avenue Bank in Ocala, Florida. The HUD closing statement shows that the funding date was June 18, 2008. This is incorrect. The funding date was June 10, 2008. The closing statements were printed June 18, 2008 by Leanette Adorkor. A cover letter from Fatima Pacheco, Escrow Officer for Financial Title Company, accompanied the closing statements. The documents were sent through the U.S. mail, and therefore subject to 18 USC § 1341, mail fraud. (Exhibit 19).

A second different HUD closing statement was printed by Fatima Pacheco May 28, 2008 at 2:00:42 p.m. that also shows three borrowers: Penelope M. Gillespie, Neil J. Gillespie, and Mark Gillespie. (Exhibit 20). This HUD closing statement was faxed May 29, 2008 to “Have Seal Will Travel” at (352) 854-0857. This is the fax number for Richard T. Kwiatkowski, of Have Seal - Will Travel, LLC. Mr. Kwiatkowski is the notary who appeared at Park Avenue Bank for the closing. Mr. Kwiatkowski’s business card states that he is a Mobile Notary Public, Reverse Mortgage Advisor, and Certified Loan Signing Agent. (Exhibit 21).

A third different Final Closing Statement was provided by Financial Title Company, on HUD OMB Form 2502-0265 with a closing date of June 5, 2008, and a disbursement date of June 10, 2008. This closing statement shows only one borrower, Penelope M. Gillespie. This closing statement shows the settlement took place at 81 Blue Ravine Road, #220, Folsom, CA, 95630. This is incorrect. The settlement took place at Park Avenue Bank in Ocala, Florida. This closing statement appears to be signed “LA for Pacheco”, which may mean Leanette Adorkor for Fatima Pacheco. The closing statement is also signed by Penelope M. Gillespie. (Exhibit 22).

The closing statement shown as Exhibit 22 also contains the following warning:

WARNING: It is a crime to knowingly make false statements to the United States on this or any other similar form. Penalties upon conviction can include a fine and imprisonment. For details see Title 18 U.S. Code Section 1001 and Section 101

In addition to the above, there are other estimated closing statements.

11. Problems After Closing - New Documents Signed and Notarized

On June 10, 2008 at 4:49 p.m. Liz Baize of Park Avenue Bank sent Neil Gillespie the following email about the HUD HECM reverse mortgage loan: (Exhibit 23).

From: "LIZ BAIZE" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 4:49 PM Subject: update

Neil, there may be a day or two delay in funding your loan. I just notified your attorney that a small revision needed to be done because A) with all that signing, a signature line for your mom was missed AND the interest rate for the week before, although a slight HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 18 difference, was picked up in closing package and identified prior to being sent to HUD. Richard (at out expense) has agreed to go to your attorneys office to meet you there to sign the corrections; and Mr. Stermer said that was fine with him. I am trying to confirm with Liberty that they will cover any cost incurred if a notary needs to go back out to Mark. The difference in rate over the life of the loan is less than 1/8th percent. As soon as I know more I will be in touch. Sincerely, Liz Baize PAB

To correct the documents, Richard T. Kwiatkowski, of Have Seal - Will Travel, LLC, came to the Gillespie Family home and made corrections. I do not recall exactly what was done, or if it was limited to the issues in the email from Liz Baize.

12. HECM Notice of Right to Cancel - Three Day Recession Period

Penelope Gillespie was provided and signed June 5, 2008 the HECM Notice of Right to Cancel. (Exhibit 24). We considered exercising our rights under the notice to cancel the reverse mortgage due to the high fees involved. We did not to cancel the reverse mortgage because we understood from the closing on June 5, 2008 that the loan was made to three borrowers. This would give us longer use of the property, and more time in which to amortize the high fees.

13. Ongoing Problems and Confusion - HECM Reverse Mortgage and Bank of America

This HECM reverse mortgage was, and continues to be, very complicated and confusing. Neil Gillespie contacted Bank of America many times after the closing in an effort to understand this reverse mortgage. One such contact was a phone call December 8, 2008 to Rick Fann of Bank of America about a $172.27 line of credit that appeared on the first monthly statement. This amount declined each month, as follows:

Statement Period 06/16/2008 - 06/30/2008 showed Available Line of Credit of $172.27. Statement Period 07/01/2008 - 07/31/2008 showed Available Line of Credit of $166.17. Statement Period 08/01/2008 - 08/31/2008 showed Available Line of Credit of $160.08. Statement Period 09/01/2008 - 09/30/2008 showed Available Line of Credit of $154.60. Statement Period 10/01/2008 - 10/31/2008 showed Available Line of Credit of $14833. Statement Period 11/01/2008 - 11/30/2008 showed Available Line of Credit of $141.41. Statement Period 12/01/2008 - 12/31/2008 showed Available Line of Credit of $133.38.

For some reason the “Available Line of Credit” declined each month, but there were no corresponding credit draw request. THE MONEY WAS DISAPPEARING INTO THIN AIR!

This negative growth was a concern. The $172.27 appeared to represent an overpayment of closing costs. We faxed December 26, 2008 a request for a return of the overpayment. The faxed letter was in the name of, and signed by Penelope Gillespie, but Neil Gillespie composed and faxed the letter on her behalf because Ms. Gillespie was not competent to do so herself. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 19 In response Bank of America issued two checks to Penelope Gillespie. One was a “Negative Growth Reimbursement Check” in the amount of $38.89 dated January 6, 2009 (Exhibit 35). The other was check in the amount of $133.38. (Exhibit 36). This was followed January 14, 2009 by a seven-page letter of from Karen Yantis of Bank of America’s Reverse Servicing Division in Seattle. (Exhibit 37).

The seven-page letter from Karen Yantis of January 14, 2009 (Exhibit 37) presented a number of financial formulas and explanations best understood by a Certified Public Account with a law degree and a background in finance. The letter was largely incomprehensible to Neil Gillespie, and useless to Penelope Gillespie who was in an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s dementia. One confusing statement (of many) in the letter appears on page four (4), paragraph five (5):

“On the surface, this may seem to be a decrease in the Net Principal Limit. However, if we take into consideration that there was a $2,000.00 advance added to the loan balance (see Outstanding Loan Balance section), we can see there is actually an increase in the Net Principal Limit of $557.98. To better highlight this, let's run through another month of calculations using the new figures provided above.”

We are not aware “that there was a $2,000.00 advance added to the loan”. I cannot find evidence of this alleged $2,000 advance. Ms. Yantis concluded her letter with this understatement: “The calculations referenced in this letter are quite complex and as such your Reverse Servicing department welcomes any questions you may have regarding the calculations.”

14. Notice to Bank of America, and Reverse Mortgage Solutions

We gave Notice to Bank of America (BofA) of our position that the loan was not due because there were three borrowers, including Neil Gillespie, and he resides in the home. Written Notice was provided to BofA by certified letter October 28, 2009, and several times thereafter.

We gave Notice to RMA of our position that the loan was not due because there were three borrowers, including Neil Gillespie, and he resides in the home. Written Notice was provided to RMA by fax on June 19, 2012. (Exhibit 25).

After The Loan Closed - Suspect Behavior by Lenders and Affiliates

15. Bank Failure: The Park Avenue Bank, Valdosta, Georgia

It appears that The Park Avenue Bank (PAB), Valdosta, GA, was insolvent and undercapitalized when it originated a HECM loan to the Gillespie Family, resulting in cutting corners to sell a product and earn fees, with a disregard for HECM regulations.

On Friday, April 29, 2011 PAB was closed by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance. PAB was assumed by Bank of the Ozarks. (Exhibit 26). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named Receiver. (Exhibit 27). The Park Avenue Bank was losing millions of dollars in July 2009 when the Federal Reserve and the Georgia Banking Commissioner entered into a Written Agreement with Park Avenue Bank, PAB Bankshares, and HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 20 their institution-affiliated parties to strengthen credit risk management practices and improve assets, etc., see Docket Nos. 09-084-WA/RB-HC and 09-084-WA/RB-SM. (Exhibit 28). The FDIC estimates the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) for bank’s failure is $306.1 million.

However R. Bradford Burnette, a retired PAB executive, did much better. Burnette walked away with at least $1,422,831 from the bank’s holding company in 2009 at a time when the bank was losing millions. Reuters reported that Burnette was paid $1,809,870 in 2009 by PAB Bankshares, Inc., the bank’s holding company. According to the 2009 Director Compensation Table, the Company entered into a salary continuation agreement with Mr. Burnette while he was employed as an executive of the Company, an agreement that would provide Burnette with $165,087 per year for 15 years commencing when he turned age 65. At December 31, 2009, the net present value of the remaining payments due to Mr. Burnette was $1,220,539 using a discount rate of 6.36%. Still, that leaves $387,039 not accounted for from the Reuters story.

16. Financial Title Co. Shuts Down In California

Financial Title Company closed less that two months after it mishandled our HECM loan, when it cut corners to earn fees, with disregard for HECM regulations.

Journalist Sharon Simonson of the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal reported July 30, 2008, “Financial Title Co. shuts down in California. (Exhibit 29). In part, the story states:

“Financial Title Co. has shut its doors across the state as part of a closure of multiple offices and title companies by its parent, Mercury Cos. of Colorado.”

“The decision by the largest real-estate title agent in Silicon Valley follows a move by Mercury's lenders to pull their line of credit after Mercury failed to meet loan requirements, according to an e-mail from Jim Hilbun, president of United Title of Texas. Unite Title is also owned by Mercury.”

“Examiners representing the California Department of Insurance, which regulates and polices title policy underwriters and agents, were on hand at all 57 Financial Title offices in the state Wednesday to ensure that escrow funds were properly handled and not stolen or lost, said Darrel Ng, press secretary for the agency.”

“The abrupt move mirrors that of Financial's former sister company, Alliance Title Co., which also closed with almost no notice late last year. Former employees and landlords of Alliance have filed multiple lawsuits alleging they were not paid. Alliance declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Northern California federal court June 5.”

17. Genworth lures Liberty Reverse Mortgage with $50 Million

This story shows the enormous profit in HECM lending to senior citizens, and a $50 million payment to the owners of Liberty Reverse Mortgage made about the time of our HECM loan, with the potential to earn more, resulting in cutting corners to sell a product and earn fees, with a disregard for HECM regulations. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 21

Staff writer Mark Anderson of the Sacramento Business Journal reported July 29, 2007, “Genworth lures Liberty Reverse Mortgage with $50 million.” (Exhibit 30). In part:

“Liberty Reverse Mortgage Inc. was not for sale. But Genworth Financial Inc. badly wanted to add the nation's fourth-largest originator of reverse mortgages to its stable of financial services.”

“Last week, its persistence paid off, as Genworth announced it would pay $50 million for the four-year-old Rancho Cordova company. Liberty founders Scott Hanson and Pat McClain could potentially earn more if performance goals are reached, Genworth spokesman Tom Topinka said.”

“Hanson and McClain, the principals of Hanson McClain Retirement Planning, will take advisory committee positions with Genworth, Hanson said.”

“The Liberty acquisition, which closes at the end of the year, continues the trend of large, independent reverse mortgage operations being bought out. IndyMac Bancorp Inc. in 2004 bought Financial Freedom. In April, Bank of America bought Seattle Mortgage, which operates Reverse Mortgage of America.”

“Wells Fargo, IndyMac Bancorp Inc. and Seattle Mortgage Co. are now the top reverse mortgage companies, ahead of Liberty.”

“"A lot of companies want to get into this business," said Rich Young, Sacramento branch manager of California Reverse Mortgage. His company was bought last year by Atlanta-based Generation Mortgage Co., now the 10th-largest reverse mortgage company in the country.”

“"There is a huge need for this product, and there is a lot of demand. The estimate is that there is only 1 percent penetration in the market," Young said.

““With the slowdown in regular mortgages and the fallout of subprime lending, some regular mortgage professionals are trying to do reverse mortgages, Young said.”

“"They don't realize this is a completely different business," he said.”

“Reverse mortgages are a highly specialized product. Federal law mandates a two-hour counseling session for the person who signs the loan papers.”

“Hanson McClain has grown to $1.2 billion in assets under management. A subsidiary, the Hanson McClain Network, a marketing and transfer agent for independent retirement advisers, has more than $3 billion in assets under management.”

18. HUD Press Release, February 9, 2012: $1 Billion To Be Paid By The Bank Of America To The Untied States, Largest False Claims Act Settlement Relating to Mortgage Fraud

Bank of America Background - Selections from Wikipedia

Bank of America Corporation is an American multinational banking and financial services corporation headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is the second-largest bank holding company in the United States by assets. The bank's 2008 acquisition of Merrill Lynch made Bank of America the world's largest wealth management corporation and a major player in the investment banking market. This purchase made Bank of America Corporation the leading mortgage originator and servicer in the U.S., controlling 20–25% of the home loan market. It has a retail banking footprint that covers approximately 80 percent of the U.S. population and serves approximately 57 million consumer and small business relationships at 5,700 banking centers and 17,750 ATMs.

Bank of America received $20 billion in the federal bailout from the U.S. government through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) on January 16, 2009, along with a guarantee of $118 billion in potential losses at the company. This was in addition to the $25 billion given to them in the Fall of 2008 through TARP. The additional payment was part of a deal with the U.S. government to preserve Bank of America's merger with the troubled investment firm Merrill Lynch. Since then, members of the U.S. Congress have expressed considerable concern about how this money has been spent, especially since some of the recipients have been accused of misusing the bailout money. Then CEO Ken Lewis was quoted as claiming "We are still lending, and we are lending far more because of the TARP program."

HUD Press Release, February 9, 2012 $1 Billion To Be Paid By The Bank Of America To The Untied States, Largest False Claims Act Settlement Relating to Mortgage Fraud

“As part of the global resolution between the United States of America and the five largest mortgage servicing banks in the country, which will bring much needed relief to financially distressed homeowners nationwide, Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, today announced that the government will also resolve its claims against the Bank of America, Countrywide Financial Corporation and certain Countrywide subsidiaries and affiliates (Countrywide) for underwriting and origination mortgage fraud.”

“Since 2009, the office has been investigating the Bank of America's lending practices to determine whether the bank, through Countrywide, which the bank acquired in 2008, knowingly made loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to unqualified home buyers. To date, the FHA has incurred hundreds of millions of dollars in damages as a result of this HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 23 conduct. The investigation also encompassed allegations that the bank and Countrywide defrauded the FHA insurance fund by originating mortgage loans that were based upon inflated appraisals. During the investigation, the office determined that the bank's conduct provides a basis for affirmative civil enforcement under, among other legal remedies, the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-33.”

“As part of the global settlement, Bank of America will pay $1 billion to resolve the wrongdoing uncovered during the office's investigation” Read more at the link, or Exhibit 40. http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2012/HUDNo .12-026

19. The Age Discrimination Act of 1975

HUD, by restricting HECM Reverse Mortgages to persons 62 years of age and older, may violate the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, 42 U.S.C. Sections 6101-6107. Section 6101, Statement of purpose: It is the purpose of this chapter to prohibit discrimination on the basis of age in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance.

HUD handbook 7610.1, Appendix D, Section IV, Clients Needs and Circumstances, Borrower’s Age: Effect on Eligibility (Page 95/181), states all borrowers must be 62 years old:

"HECMs are available only to seniors age 62 or older. Other reverse mortgage products may have different age requirements. All borrowers on the loan must also be on the title and must be age 62 or older..."

HUD handbook 7610.1, Chapter 3, Section 3-1 F. Civil Rights, states “All participating agencies must administer their housing counseling programs in accordance with and remain in compliance with corresponding Departmental regulations and guidance and the following nondiscrimination regulatory and legislative requirements….e. The Age Discrimination Act of 1975…”

Neil Gillespie is 56 years-old and cannot qualify for a HECM loan based on his age. Therefore it appears that the HUD HECM program discriminates on the basis of age in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance. http://www.dol.gov/oasam/regs/statutes/age_act.htm

The Bank of America is program or activity as defined by §6107(C)(I), a corporation which is extended Federal financial assistance. BofA received a $20 billion federal bailout, paragraph 18.

20. Chapter 825, Florida Statutes Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation of Elderly Persons and Disabled Adults

Penelope Gillespie was an elderly person as defined by section 825.101(5), Florida Statutes. Ms. Gillespie suffered from Alzheimer’s dementia at the time of the HECM reverse mortgage and HUD counseling session, and lacked the capacity to make a contract. This was readily apparent due to the inability of Ms. Gillespie to discuss basic details about this loan. Ms. Gillespie died of dementia September 16, 2009. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 24

Neil Gillespie is a disabled adult as defined by section 825.101(4), Florida Statutes. Neil Gillespie maintained a checking and savings account at Park Avenue Bank prior to this reverse mortgage. Neil Gillespie had his Social Security disability benefit payment deposited directly to Park Avenue Bank prior to this reverse mortgage. Therefore Park Avenue Bank knew that Neil Gillespie was disabled when this reverse mortgage was made.

HUD, Susan Gray/CCCS/MMI, Liz Baize, Park Avenue Bank, Liberty Reverse Mortgage, Financial Title Company, Bank of America, and Reverse Mortgage Solutions (collectively called the “lenders”) were, or currently are, in a business relationship as defined by section 825.101(1), Florida Statutes with either Penelope Gillespie and/or Neil Gillespie, and the family trust.

The lenders had a position of trust and confidence with respect to Penelope Gillespie and Neil Gillespie as defined by section 825.101(11)(c), Florida Statutes, a legal or fiduciary relationship as our lenders. The lenders provided professional services as defined by section 825.101(13)(b), Florida Statutes.

Based on the allegations in this letter, the lenders engaged in exploitation and deception with regard to our business relationship with them as defined by section 825.101(3), Florida Statutes, (a)(1) misrepresenting or concealing a material fact relating to services rendered intended to benefit an elderly person or disabled adult; (a)(2) terms of a contract or agreement entered into with an elderly person or disabled adult; and (b) using any misrepresentation, false pretense, or false promise in order to induce, encourage, or solicit an elderly person or disabled adult to enter into a contract or agreement.

The lender’s exploitation and deception deprived Penelope Gillespie, (and estate), Neil Gillespie, Mark Gillespie, and the Gillespie Family Living Trust, of property as defined by section 825.101(12), Florida Statutes. The value of property lost is defined by section 825.101(14).

The lenders violated section 825.103(1)(a), Florida Statutes, exploitation of an elderly person or disabled adult, knowingly, by deception, obtaining an elderly person’s or disabled adult’s funds, assets, or property to benefit the lenders who stood in a position of trust and confidence with the elderly person or disabled adult and who had a business relationship with the elderly person or disabled adult.

Under section 825.103(2)(a), Florida Statutes, the lenders may have committed a felony of the first degree because the funds, assets, or property involved in the exploitation of the elderly person or disabled adult is valued at $100,000 or more.

Conclusion

This complaint shows a fraudulent loan process by the lenders and affiliated parties under the HUD HECM reverse mortgage program. The information provided to Penelope Gillespie and Neil Gillespie during the HECM consumer reverse mortgage counseling was not accurate as to financial assumptions and projections. This practice strips borrowers of home equity and threatens families with foreclosure. HUD Complaint - Dispute Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose August 9, 2012 Page - 25

The “FHA's Monthly Adjustable Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Loan Estimated Amortization Schedule for Penelope Gillespie and Neil Gillespie” shows at year four (4) an ending loan balance of $118,550, a home value of $163,780, and a retained equity of $45,230. (Exhibit 14.2). The actual home value today is $85,564, and the current loan balance is $108,056 per RMA’s demand letter of June 8, 2012, resulting in an equity deficit of -$22,492. The gross equity difference, as compared to the figures in Exhibit 14.2, is $67,722. (-$22,492 vs. $45,230).

Penelope Gillespie granted Neil Gillespie a life estate, the right to live in our home for the rest of his life. This life estate was verbal, not written. The HUD handbook notes on page 44 that:

"Under FHA regulations at 24 CFR Section 206.35, if a HECM borrower holds a life estate in the property that will serve as the security for the FHA-insured HECM, persons with a reversionary or remainder interest in that property also must execute the HECM mortgage."

The property at 8092 SW 115th Loop, Ocala, Florida, is Neil Gillespie’s homestead under Florida law. Neil Gillespie has lived in the home continuously since February 2005. Neil Gillespie has no other home, is not married, and does not have children. Neil Gillespie has no assets to pay off the mortgage, refinance, or buy another home. Neil Gillespie’s disability income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. If RMS successfully forecloses on our home, Neil Gillespie will be homeless.

At the time of the loan we believed Ms. Gillespie’s lack of capacity was mitigated by the fact that Neil Gillespie and Mark Gillespie were also borrowers on the loan. If it is determined that Neil Gillespie and Mark Gillespie are not borrowers on the loan, then Ms. Gillespie’s lack of capacity is very significant, and the reverse mortgage is void or voidable and must be canceled.

Wherefore, in consideration of the above, the HECM reverse mortgage is void or voidable and unenforceable. Kindly cease and desist any and all foreclosure action immediately. Thank you.

Neil Gillespie 8092 SW 115th Loop Ocala, FL 34481

Re: Complaint: 120914-000082

Dear Neil Gillespie:

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) would like to take the opportunity to provide you with an update about the complaint you filed that we received regarding Bank of America, on September 14, 2012.

Our records reflect the following:

You reported:

Recently we found a material alteration to our HECM reverse mortgage made by interlineation after execution. Please take notice that we do not ratify the change. The interlineation is a hand-written alteration, not initialed and not dated, and vitiates the mortgage.

The interlineation is an attempt to add a new party to the reverse mortgage, Penelope M. Gillespie individually. The interlineation recently came to our attention when an attorney we consulted found the altered mortgage on the Marion County Clerk's website. This mortgagee document differs from the mortgage documents we signed June 5, 2008 with no interlineation. On January 15, 2009 Bank of America provided us with copies of the mortgage documents that have no interlineation. Therefore I conclude that the interlineation is evidence of fraud by the lender and/or lender-affiliated parties.

You requested that the agreement be found to be void and unenforceable.

We forwarded your complaint to Bank of America for review, requesting them to consider the resolution you requested and respond within fifteen days. Bank of America reviewed your complaint and your requested resolution and provided the following response on October 1, 2012:

Laws that govern customer privacy prevent us from providing you with details about any relationship we may have with any customer without first obtaining

14

the written consent of such customer. Since our records indicate that no written authorization has been received to date from the person on whose behalf you are inquiring, we are unable to discuss any information with you at this time. Please provide a copy of the will naming the third party as the executor or the letters of testamentary naming you as the authorized representative. We will respond to the concerns raised in your correspondence once the aforementioned documents are provided.

If you wish to submit the will or the letters of testamentary, you can fax them directly to me at 1.877.373.7139. Please feel free to contact me directly at 1.972.526.3604. I am available Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central.

The Consumer Response Team requested additional information from Bank of America, including a response to documents you submitted, concerning this matter. Bank of America responded by providing a letter addressed to you and dated February 1, 2012. The letter stated, in part:

Our records indicate that we do not have proper authorization to disclose any information to you regarding Ms. Penelope M. Gillespie’s account. Bank of America values and guards our customers’ privacy and financial information and, therefore, does not provide customer-specific information to unauthorized third parties.

Further, laws that govern customer privacy prevent us from providing you with details about any relationship we may have with any customer without first obtaining the written consent of such customer. Our records confirm that we have not received any written authorization from Ms. Gillespie, therefore, we are unable to discuss any information about her account with you. In order to obtain a response to the concerns raised in your correspondence, please provide us with a copy of a proper third party authorization form naming you as Ms. Gillespie’s authorized representative. You may contact Bank of America’s Reverse Mortgage Department at 1.866.863.5224 for instructions on how to submit these necessary documents.

Although the CFPB allows for the filing of complaints on behalf of others, Bank of America has indicated that it is unable to further process the complaint without authorization from the consumer requesting the resolution above. Unfortunately, no further action will be taken on your complaint at this time. Our review was limited to federal consumer financial protection laws within the CFPB’s authority. Our disposition should not be considered to be a determination with respect to the validity of your complaint. We hope you understand that the CFPB does not represent individuals in

legal matters. If you believe this does not resolve your complaint, you are of course free to contact a private attorney about this matter or file your own case in court.

For more information on mortgages, or any other consumer financial product or service, visit “Ask CFPB” at www.consumerfinance.gov/askcfpb/.

Specifically, please see the following entries from “Ask CFPB”:

Housing counselors are permitted to charge for reverse mortgage counseling, but the agency must tell you about the fee before charging it, and the fee has to be reasonable. Fees are typically about $125. Counseling agencies are also required to waive the counseling fee if your income is less than twice the poverty level.

• TIP: Make sure your reverse mortgage counselor is approved by the U.S. Department of Urban Development (HUD). You can find HUD-approved housing counselor by visiting HUD's counselor search page or calling HUD’s housing counselor referral line (1-800-569-4287).

• TIP: If you are behind on your taxes and insurance and you are facing foreclosure, you can receive free reverse mortgage foreclosure prevention counseling. To find a specialist counselor, call one of the five national counseling agencies and ask for HECM foreclosure prevention counseling:

◦ CredAbility: 1-888-395-2664 ◦ Money Management International: 1-866-765-3328 ◦ National Council on the Aging: 1-800-510-0301 ◦ National Foundation for Credit Counseling: 1-866-363-2227 ◦ NeighborWorks America: 1-888-990-4326

If you paid someone up-front for counseling and they never provided counseling to you, or if someone is offering you counseling only if you purchase an insurance or financial product along with your reverse mortgage, report the agency and counselor by filing a complaint with the CFPB, or calling 1-855-411-CFPB (2372). http://www.consumerfinance.gov/askcfpb/232/what-will-reverse-mortgage-housing- counseling-cost.html

We take consumer complaints very seriously and are grateful for the information you have provided throughout this process. Consumer complaints inform us about business practices that may pose risk to consumers and assist the CFPB’s supervisory, enforcement, and rulemaking responsibilities. Hearing from engaged and proactive consumers like you is critical to our mission. With this correspondence, we are closing your file on this matter within Consumer Response. Please feel free to contact the CFPB should you need help with another consumer finance matter in the future.

Thank you, Consumer Response Team

Good Evening Gentlemen:

This evening I received the email forwarded below from "Jennifer Banister" , subject "pedofile", message "im like two".

I do not know a person named "Jennifer Banister", or the purpose of this email, other than it appears to be a form of harassment and intimidation.

The email has attached a PDF of my pleading originally filed in Marion County case no. 2013-CA- 000115, REVERSE MORTGAGE SOLUTIONS, INC., vs NEIL J. GILLESPIE et al.

NOTICE OF FILING FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Voting Section

The email has a link to the pleading as it appears on the Florida Supreme Court website in Case No. SC2017-1321.

The Florida Supreme Court numbers on the PDF show what appears on the pleading when cut and pasted:

Florida Supreme Court Case No. SC2017-1321 was my EMERGENCY PETITION TO CANCEL NON-JURY TRIAL 10:00 AM TODAY filed July 18, 2018.

Earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed Petitions No. 17-8682 and No. 17-8689, and denied my IFP motions. Apparently that was not enough for "Jennifer Banister", who has commenced this harassment and intimidation, subject "pedofile", message "im like two".

If anyone knows "Jennifer Banister", or the purpose of this email, please advise me. Thank you.

RE: Florida Rigged Judicial Elections and Circuit Judge Ann Melinda Craggs, et al.

“In the American judicial system, few more serious threats to individual liberty can be imagined than a corrupt judge. Clothed with the power of the state and authorized to pass judgment on the most basic aspects of everyday life, a judge can deprive citizens of liberty and property in complete disregard of the Constitution. The injuries inflicted may be severe and enduring....”

Judge Craggs, currently presiding over the foreclosure of my deceased mother’s HECM reverse mortgage in Marion County (13-CA-115), was one of the 194 who took her seat on the trial bench unopposed. Judge Craggs was appointed judge by Governor Scott on October 7, 2014, to fill the vacancy created by the elevation of Judge Brian Lambert to the Florida Fifth DCA, according to Ballotpedia. (Exhibit 2). Under Florida’s rigged judicial election system, Judge Craggs may never have face the voters.

Why are so many judicial elections unopposed? Circuit judges are paid $146,079. Welcome to Florida rigged judicial elections, rigged by a de facto political party known as The Florida Bar.

Rigged and/or uncontested judicial elections violate Art. V, Sec. 10(b)(1). It also appears that Fla. Sta. § 105.051 is unconstitutional relative to Art. V, Sec. 10(b)(1).

105.051 Determination of election or retention to office.— (1) ELECTION.—In circuits and counties holding elections: (a) The name of an unopposed candidate for the office of circuit judge, county court judge, or member of a school board shall not appear on any ballot, and such candidate shall be deemed to have voted for himself or herself at the general election.

1 Ken Detzner, Secretary of State November 29, 2016 Florida Department of State Page - 2

This sounds like an election in a dictatorship. Candidate’s name not on the ballot? Candidate only got one vote in the general election? The only vote received was the candidate’s own vote?

Fla. Stat. § 105.051 also appears unconstitutional under Article VI, Section 1. Regulation of elections. All elections by the people shall be by direct and secret vote...

Fla. Stat. § 105.041 Form of ballot, (1) and (2) require the names of candidates on the ballot:

(1) BALLOTS.—The names of candidates for nonpartisan office which appear on the ballot at the primary election shall be grouped together on a separate portion of the ballot or on a separate ballot. The names of candidates for election to nonpartisan office which appear on the ballot at the general election and the names of justices and judges seeking retention to office shall be grouped together on a separate portion of the general election ballot.

(2) LISTING OF CANDIDATES.—The order of nonpartisan offices appearing on the ballot shall be determined by the Department of State. The names of candidates for election to each nonpartisan office shall be listed in alphabetical order. With respect to retention of justices and judges, the question “Shall Justice (or Judge) (name of justice or judge) of the (name of the court) be retained in office?” shall appear on the ballot in alphabetical order and thereafter the words “Yes” and “No.”

The 194 uncontested judgeships were rigged by prior agreement by members of The Florida Bar, the only potential candidates permitted to run. 194 judgeships went uncontested because the election was rigged that way in 2016, as in earlier years, as shown below, by members of The Florida Bar to protect incumbent judges. In exchange for that protection, unopposed incumbent judges, automatically reelected, protect members of The Florida Bar, such as bad lawyers like Curtis Alan Wilson, and homicidal foreclosure mills like McCalla Raymer Pierce, LLC.

Voluntary bar associations, such as the Marion County Bar Association, might be one place where judicial pre-election rigging takes place. Not on the official agenda. But during casual social gatherings. Gregory C. Harrell is the immediate past president of the Marion County Bar Association, a voluntary bar, according to The Florida Bar website. Mr. Harrell is also General Counsel to David R. Ellspermann, Marion County Clerk of Court & Comptroller.

The Florida Bar News reported May 15, 2012, 18 jurists to face retention elections, 72 races set for the trial court ballot Another 286 judges take a seat on the bench unopposed. (Exhibit 3).

The Tampa Bay Times reported May 2, 2008, Unopposed judges quietly keep their seats, By Lucy Morgan, Times Senior Correspondent. (Exhibit 4).

TALLAHASSEE — Quietly and with little public notice, more than 250 judges as well as two dozen state attorneys and public defenders won re-election Friday as the qualifying period for judicial offices ended. Ken Detzner, Secretary of State November 29, 2016 Florida Department of State Page - 3

Among the winners are Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe and Public Defender Bob Dillinger, and Hillsborough State Attorney Mark Ober and Public Defender Julianne Holt.

They and hundreds of judges should all thank former Miami Dade Circuit Judge Martin D. Kahn, a veteran jurist who was defeated by 2,700 votes by a political newcomer when he sought re-election in 2000.

Kahn's defeat ginned up so much sympathy among state lawmakers that they quietly tucked a little amendment in an elections bill as it passed on the final night of the 2002 legislative session.

Instead of qualifying for public office with other state candidates in July of every year, the judges would file their paperwork in May, when federal candidates qualify.

Former Rep. Dudley Goodlette, R-Naples, offered the measure as part of a larger amendment. Contacted earlier this week, Goodlette said the issue had been raised because of Kahn's defeat. Sitting judges wanted time to clear their calendars and campaign if they faced opponents, Goodlette said.

"The rumor was that if they moved judicial qualifying, then maybe nobody would notice," recalled Secretary of State Kurt Browning, who was Pasco elections supervisor in 2002 and lobbying lawmakers for improved elections laws.

For the qualifying that closed Friday, there were 283 circuit judge positions statewide. Twenty-three of those are open seats and will be contested.

Of the 260 remaining seats, only eight will be contested. The other 252 won unopposed...

...Few incumbents have lost since Florida began electing judges in nonpartisan races in the 1970s, but the early qualifying date lets even more avoid opposition, according to a review of election results over the past 12 years.

Judges frequently escape opposition because only lawyers can run for the jobs, and few lawyers are willing to risk angering a judge before whom they must appear. In recent years few incumbent circuit judges have faced opposition, and only five have been defeated.

The Florida Bar News reported June 1, 2006, 41 contested judicial races on the ballot. (Exhibit 5)

...[t]here are 17 contested circuit judge races around the state, while 134 circuit judgeships were decided without an election. Most of those involved incumbents who filed for reelection and drew no opponents. There also are 24 contested county court Ken Detzner, Secretary of State November 29, 2016 Florida Department of State Page - 4

races after the June 12 filing deadline, while 93 county judges — again, mostly incumbents — were elected or reelected without opposition.

The Florida Bar News August 15, 2002, Candidates file to run for nine new judgeships. (Exhibit 6)

The number of contested circuit judge races rose significantly with the close of qualifying July 26 for nine new legislatively created seats...The second round of qualifying for the nine new seats was unlike the May qualifying. Then there were 246 seats up and only 26 — mostly seats being vacated by incumbents — drew more than one candidate. In most of the uncontested seats, incumbents filed for re-election.

The Florida Bar News reported August 15, 2000, Candidates qualify for Florida's judicial races By Gary Blankenship, Associate Editor (Exhibit 7)

About one of 10 circuit judgeships up for election this year will be determined by Florida voters, while the rest had unopposed candidates following the close of qualifying on July 21, according to the Florida Secretary of State's Division of Elections.

According to the division, 17 circuit races, including four each in the Ninth and 11th circuits, will be on the ballot. Another 142 were elected or re-elected to circuit judgeships without opposition.

The following judges have recently presided over my matters in a circuit court. The judges have two things in common: Judicial misconduct in my matters, and a rigged judicial election.

SECTION 17. Impeachment.—

(a) The governor, lieutenant governor, members of the cabinet, justices of the supreme court, judges of district courts of appeal, judges of circuit courts, and judges of county courts shall be liable to impeachment for misdemeanor in office. The house of representatives by two-thirds vote shall have the power to impeach an officer. The speaker of the house of representatives shall have power at any time to appoint a committee to investigate charges against any officer subject to impeachment.

(b) An officer impeached by the house of representatives shall be disqualified from performing any official duties until acquitted by the senate, and, unless impeached, the governor may by appointment fill the office until completion of the trial.

(c) All impeachments by the house of representatives shall be tried by the senate. The chief justice of the supreme court, or another justice designated by the chief justice, shall preside at the trial, except in a trial of the chief justice, in which case the governor shall preside. The senate shall determine the time for the trial of any impeachment and may sit for the trial whether the house of representatives be in session or not. The time fixed for trial shall not be more than six months after the impeachment. During an impeachment trial senators shall be upon their oath or affirmation. No officer shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members of the senate present. Judgment of conviction in cases of impeachment shall remove the offender from office and, in the discretion of the senate, may include disqualification to hold any office of honor, trust or profit. Conviction or acquittal shall not affect the civil or criminal responsibility of the officer.

I am also providing this letter to John F. Harkness, Executive Director, The Florida Bar, John A. Tomisino, Clerk, Florida Supreme Court, and federal law enforcement.

The Florida Bar News - May 15, 2012 3

Three Florida Supreme Court justices and 15 district court of appeal judges have qualified for merit retention on this year’s November election ballot. In the trial courts, there will be 32 contested circuit court contests on the August 14 primary ballot, while 170 circuit judgeships — mostly held by incumbents — were uncontested.

On the county court bench, there are 40 races on the primary ballot, while 116 were elected or reelected without opposition.

Filing information for the merit retention races and the circuit court races was obtained from the Secretary of State’s Division of Elections. Information for the county court elections was obtained by examining each county supervisor of elections’ website, which may have been incomplete. Any additional or corrected information on these seats should be emailed to [email protected].

No jurisdiction this year came close to Broward County’s distinction in 2010 of offering voters contested races in 20 circuit and county judgeships. The largest judicial ballot this year appears to be Miami-Dade County, which has four contested circuit races and eight contested county court races. Broward County will be relatively easy this year for voters who follow judicial races; there are three circuit and four county court contests.

The merit retention campaigns, especially for the Supreme Court justices, are expected to be higher profile this year than recent elections. There are concerns that special interests, including from out-of- state, may organize an anti-retention campaign. At least one website has been created that actively seeks donations to oppose the justices.

In 2010 anti-incumbent sentiments, in some cases associated with the Tea Party movement, was credited with lowering the retention margins for some Supreme Court justices and some DCA judges, especially in the northern part of the state. (See related story on the Bar’s merit retention education campaign.)

On the Supreme Court, Justices R. Fred Lewis, Barbara J. Pariente, and Peggy A. Quince all filed their papers for merit retention.

On the First DCA, Simone Marstiller, Stephanie Ray, Ron Swanson, and Brad Thomas filed for retention.

On the Second DCA, Anthony K. Black, Darryl C. Casaneuva, Charles A. Davis, Jr., and Edward C. LaRose filed for retention.

On the Third DCA, Angel A. Cortina, Kevin Emas, Ivan F. Fernandez, Leslie B. Rothenberg, and Richard J. Suarez filed for retention.

On The Fourth DCA, Burton C. Conner and Carole Y. Taylor filed for retention. There are no judges up for retention on the Fifth DCA.

The merit retention vote will be on the November ballot. Contested trial court elections will be decided http://www.floridabar.org/DIVCOM/JN/JNNews01.nsf/RSSFeed/7E755D0B0BCBFA80852579F4006C43EA in the August 14 primary, with any runoffs being on the November ballot.

Friday, May 2, 2008 9:55pm

TALLAHASSEE — Quietly and with little public notice, more than 250 judges as well as two dozen state attorneys and public defenders won re-election Friday as the qualifying period for judicial offices ended.

Among the winners are Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe and Public Defender Bob Dillinger, and Hillsborough State Attorney Mark Ober and Public Defender Julianne Holt.

They and hundreds of judges should all thank former Miami Dade Circuit Judge Martin D. Kahn, a veteran jurist who was defeated by 2,700 votes by a political newcomer when he sought re-election in 2000.

Kahn's defeat ginned up so much sympathy among state lawmakers that they quietly tucked a little amendment in an elections bill as it passed on the final night of the 2002 legislative session.

Instead of qualifying for public office with other state candidates in July of every year, the judges would file their paperwork in May, when federal candidates qualify.

Former Rep. Dudley Goodlette, R-Naples, offered the measure as part of a larger amendment. Contacted earlier this week, Goodlette said the issue had been raised because of Kahn's defeat. Sitting judges wanted time to clear their calendars and campaign if they faced opponents, Goodlette said.

"The rumor was that if they moved judicial qualifying, then maybe nobody would notice," recalled Secretary of State Kurt Browning, who was Pasco elections supervisor in 2002 and lobbying lawmakers for improved elections laws.

For the qualifying that closed Friday, there were 283 circuit judge positions statewide. Twenty-three of those are open seats and will be contested.

Of the 260 remaining seats, only eight will be contested. The other 252 won unopposed.

Brad King, the state attorney in Hernando, and Howard "Skip" Babb Jr., the public defender, also drew no opposition.

Two of the state's top prosecutors, Lawson Lamar of Orange County and Norm Wolfinger of Brevard County, qualified to seek re-election. Wolfinger is unopposed and Lamar drew a little-known criminal defense lawyer as an opponent.

Lamar and Wolfinger are among the state's top double dippers.

Lamar "retired" in 2005 without leaving office. He collected $514,927 in lump sum benefits, plus a $115,752 a year pension, plus an annual salary of $153,140.

Wolfinger followed suit in 2007. He collected $447,834 in lump sum benefits, plus an $83,484 a year pension, plus an annual salary of $153,140. 4 http://beaches.tampabay.com/news/politics/state/unopposed-judges-quietly-keep-their-seats/485804

Circuit judges are paid $145,080.

Only two incumbent circuit judges in the Tampa Bay area drew opposition, both in Tampa: Judge Kevin Carey is opposed by lawyer Catherine M. Catlin, and Judge Martha Cook drew opposition from Constance Daniels.

The other contested races are for open seats.

Few incumbents have lost since Florida began electing judges in nonpartisan races in the 1970s, but the early qualifying date lets even more avoid opposition, according to a review of election results over the past 12 years.

Judges frequently escape opposition because only lawyers can run for the jobs, and few lawyers are willing to risk angering a judge before whom they must appear. In recent years few incumbent circuit judges have faced opposition, and only five have been defeated.

In 2005, lobbyists for the state's prosecutors and public defenders got legislators to move their qualifying to May as well, putting all judicial system races up for grabs much earlier than the traditional qualifying period, which usually begins in July.

This year, qualifying for other state candidates begins June 16 because primaries are Aug. 26, a week earlier than in past years.

Supreme Court and District Court justices run under a merit retention system. No judge has been denied another term since the merit retention system was adopted in the 1970s.

On the Supreme Court this year, only Justice Charles T. Wells faces voters. Twenty-three judges from the five district courts of appeal will also be on the ballot.

41 contested judicial races on the ballot Seventeen DCA judges file for retention and three S.C. justices to face the voters By Gary Blankenship Senior Editor and Theresa E. Davis Assistant Editor Three Supreme Court justices and 17 district court of appeal judges have filed for merit retention in the fall statewide judicial elections.

In addition, there are 17 contested circuit judge races around the state, while 134 circuit judgeships were decided without an election. Most of those involved incumbents who filed for reelection and drew no opponents. There also are 24 contested county court races after the June 12 filing deadline, while 93 county judges — again, mostly incumbents — were elected or reelected without opposition.

(Circuit court information came from the Secretary of State’s office. County judge race information came from the Supreme Court and a Web site and e-mail survey of county supervisors of elections offices.)

Elections for contested trial court seats will be on the September 5 primary ballot, and any runoffs will be decided in the November 7 general election. The merit retention elections for the appellate bench will be on the November ballot.

There will almost certainly be more contested trial court races this fall. The legislature approved 55 new judgeships this year; 35 circuit judgeships and 20 on the county bench. All will be elected and qualifying for those races is July 17-21. Traditionally, such open seats are more likely to draw contested elections than seats occupied by incumbents.

It’s also the largest number of new judgeships created and filled by election since at least 1973, when the court system was overhuled.

Here’s a list of those who will appear on the November merit retention ballot: • Supreme Court – Chief Justice Barbara J. Pariente, Chief Justice-elect R. Fred Lewis, and Justice Peggy A. Quince.

• First District Court of Appeal – Judges Edwin B. Browning, Jr., Bradford L. Thomas, and Peter D. Webster.

• Second District Court of Appeal – Judges Darryl C. Casanueva, Charles A. Davis, Edward LaRose, E.J. Salcines, and Thomas E. Stringer, Sr.

• Third District Court of Appeal – Judges Angel A. Cortinas, Leslie B. Rothenberg, and Richard J. Suarez.

• Fourth District Court of Appeal – Judges Bobby W. Gunther, Fred A. Hazouri, Larry A. Klein, Barry J. Stone, and Carole Y. Taylor.

• Fifth District Court of Appeal – Judge Emerson R. Thompson, Jr.

Contested Circuit Races Here’s a list of contested circuit court races: • First Circuit – Group 15, Terry Ketchel, Dixie Dan Powell, Mike Schofield, and Michael T. Webster. 5 https://www.floridabar.org/DIVCOM/JN/JNNews01.nsf/cb53c80c8fabd49d85256b5900678f6c/90cd09ec84548f64852571770055e920!OpenDocume...

• Fifth Circuit – Group 7, Michelle T. Morley and Scott Wynn.

• Sixth Circuit – Group 9, Mary Handsel, Christine “Chris” Helinger, and Glenn Martin; Group 32, LeAnne Lake, Mark Schleben, and Pat Siracusa.

• Eighth Circuit – Group 4, Stan Griffis, Stephen Pennypacker, and Lorraine H. Sherman.

• Ninth Circuit – Group 5, Jenifer Davis, Mary Ann Etzler, and John Gray.

• 11th Circuit – Group 25, Dennis J. Murphy and Josie Perez Velis; Group 65 Israel U. Reyes and Jeffrey D. Swartz.

• 12th Circuit – Group 13, Lee E. Haworth and Susan Hartmann Swartz; Group 16, Donna Berlin and Franklin Roberts.

• 13th Circuit – Group 25, Robert A. Foster, Jr., and Catherine Williams Real; Group 32, Cris Debock, Elizabeth (Betsy) Lynn Hapner, Bernard C. Silver, and Caroline Jeanne Tesche.

• 15th Circuit – Group 13, Jerald S. Beer, David E. French, Kenneth D. Lemoine, and Art Wroble.

• 17th Circuit – Group 6, Charles “Charlie” Kaplan and Kenneth David Padowitz.

• 18th Circuit – Group 20, Samuel Bookhardt III, Charles G. Crawford, Patrice J. Pilate, and Frank David Zilaitis.

• 20th Circuit – Group 9, Kim Levy and Margaret Ogilvie Steinbeck; Group 14, Miguel C. Fernandez III, Steve Holmes, and Bruce Kyle.

August 15, 2002 News HOME Candidates file to run for nine new judgeships The number of contested circuit judge races rose significantly with the close of qualifying July 26 for nine new legislatively created seats.

Eight of the new seats drew at least three candidates, while in the ninth, in the 10th Circuit, a state senator filed unopposed for the new post.

Pursuant to a new state law, qualifying for the existing judgeships where the terms end at the end of the year was held in May. That law was intended to give incumbent judges who face last minute challenges more time to arrange their dockets for campaigning.

But this year’s legislative session failed to produce a budget agreement for the 2002-03 budget until a special session in May. Part of that budget authorized 18 new circuit judges, with nine being chosen by voters and nine appointed by the governor. Since it was too late for qualifying for those nine elected seats during May, the legislature specified that qualifying would be held with other state races in July.

The second round of qualifying for the nine new seats was unlike the May qualifying. Then there were 246 seats up and only 26 — mostly seats being vacated by incumbents — drew more than one candidate. In most of the uncontested seats, incumbents filed for re-election.

With the new seats, that means voters will have a total of 34 circuit races on the September 10 primary ballot. Any runoffs will be decided on the November general election ballot.

(There are no contested circuit judgeships in the First, Second, Third, 10th, 14th, 16th, 18th, or 20th circuits. Information on contested county judge races is not collected statewide, but is available from local supervisors of elections offices. A list of the other contested circuit races as well as those elected without opposition was in the June 1 News.)

Filing unopposed for the new 10th Circuit seat is Sen. John Laurent, R-Bartow, a former member of the House Judiciary Committee and a current member of the joint House-Senate panel overseeing the constitutionally mandated increase in Article V funding for the state trial courts.

Contesting the other races are:

• In the Sixth Circuit, Group 41, Linda Allan, Bryon A. Lorrier, Malinda Ottinger, and William L. “Bill” Vinson.

• In the Seventh Circuit, Group 24, David A. Burt, Terry LaRue, Larry Nixon, and Henry T. Swann III.

• In the Eighth Circuit, Group 12, David A. Glant, Terry Kann, and Gil Schaffnit.

• In the Ninth Circuit, Group 37, Mark C. Bender, Jim Henson, and Norberto Katz.

• In the 12th Circuit, Group 19, Preston DeVilbiss, Jr., Cynthia Evers, Diana Moreland, and Ed Nicholas.

• In the 13th Circuit, Group 37, Ray Brooks, Woody Isom, Monica L. Sierra, and Brad Souders. 6 https://www.floridabar.org/DIVCOM/JN/JNNews01.nsf/cb53c80c8fabd49d85256b5900678f6c/1a3f94d96cccce2885256c0e0045a0e3!OpenDocume...

• In the 15th Circuit, Group 34, John P. Marinelli, William J. McAfee, Karen M. Miller, and Darren D. Shull.

• In the 17th Circuit, Group 52, Michael G. Kaplan, Andrew “Andy” Salvage, Perry Eugene Thurston, Jr., and Jack Tuter.

G o l d e n O c a l a . c o m 855.80.OCALA  GOLDEN OCALA HISTORY

A Story of Family, Vision & Excellence

The magic first began with the vision and desire of one remarkable family—the Roberts. After building an internationally acclaimed logistics company business, R+L Carriers, the founders sought to create a utopian wonderland encircling an exquisite, grand home like no other. Those who visit the Roberts’ 1,300-acre equestrian estate are awestruck at its poetic, beguiling beauty that is indeed a fantasy brought to life. One discovers the stunning artistry of fountains, statuary, and gardens at every turn.

Wishing to share this tranquil lifestyle with others, the Roberts established a residential golf and equestrian community echoing the ambiance of their own estate – a private sanctuary where families can enjoy horseback riding, championship golf, luxury homes, and superb amenities.

Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club is proud to be part of the Royal Shell Family of Companies. Royal Shell has served Southwest Florida since 1997, providing excellence in real estate, vacation rentals, property management, and more.

In turn, Golden Ocala and Royal Shell are both part of the R+L Carriers Family of Companies. All companies within the R+L Family serve the same mission to provide superior service at competitive pricing through efficient operations and innovative thinking to the ultimate benefit of our customers and shareholders. Customer satisfaction is mandatory to ensure future success.

Robert W. Batsel, Jr. President Marion County Bar Association

Dear Mr. Batsel:

Your name appears as President of Marion County Bar Association on The Florida Bar’s website, see https://www.floridabar.org/DIVCOM/PI/PIMasDir.nsf/WBARS/BA68E89A94957D2785256B4100764B4B

Contrary to your assertion, Mr. Harrell did not advise anything relative to you. Your misrepresentation stands as evidence why I cannot speak with you by telephone, or meet with you in person. Our communication shall be by email, unless otherwise ordered.

Marion County Bar Association, Inc., is a voluntary professional organization composed of local attorneys and judges in Marion County, FL. Its principal address is the Marion County Judicial Center, 110 NW 1st. Ave., Ocala, FL 34475, and is therefore subject to Florida’s public records law. As you know, the purpose of my inquiry is irrelevant under Florida’s public records law.

Provide the following public records:

1. Rental agreement between the Marion County Judicial Center, 110 NW 1st. Ave., Ocala, FL 34475, and the Marion County Bar Association, Inc., 110 NW 1st. Ave., Ocala, FL 34475. 2. Membership list of attorneys and judges for the Marion County Bar Association, Inc. 3. Membership agreement of the Marion County Bar Association, Inc. with Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Gillespie,

Thank you for your email. As Mr. Harrell advised, I currently serve in a volunteer capacity as the President of the Marion County Bar Association, which is a private, not for profit entity led by a volunteer board and composed of attorneys practicing or residing in Marion County. In this role, I serve the members of the association and do not believe that providing substantive responses to your questions, below, would be in their best interests based upon the lack of information at my disposal. However, I will be happy to assist you and answer any questions you may have after learning more about the purpose of your inquiry. Please provide me with your phone number and a few dates and times when you will be available to schedule a brief phone call or meeting in person and I will be sure to respond in order to schedule same.

Once again, thank you for your inquiry. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Best regards,

Robert W. Batsel, Jr. President Marion County Bar Association [email protected]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Marion County Bar Association, Inc.,

Mr. Harrell contends "Your other questions below are beyond the scope of my work for this office", Therefore I direct my questions to you and each of you:

Regarding the Marion County Bar Association, Inc., located at 110 NW 1st. Ave., Ocala, FL 34475, the same address as the Marion County Judicial Center, is the Marion County Bar Association, Inc. subject to public records law?

Regarding the Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club, does the Marion County Judicial Center/Marion County Circuit Court/Marion County Clerk hold a membership in the Club?

Attached you will find two photos taken May 6, 2016 at the Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club during an event with the Marion County Bar Association. What was the event, and who are the unidentified persons in the photos?

I believe the event was law day, May 6, 2016. Thank you.

We can provide a certified copy of the docket as it currently stands with the party list set to "100" and the image list set to "ALL" so long as we are certifying a complete copy of the entire 15 pages that presently encompasses. In other words, we would be certifying a hard copy of what is attached to this email as a "pdf". That would cost $2.00 for the certification and $2.25 for the 15 pages of the docket at $0.15 each for a total of $4.25.

Mr. Gillespie:

In response to your public records request to Mr. Ellspermann of earlier today, I have attached below a two-page print out of the docket sheet showing the first 10 lines of the parties listed for 2013.CA.115. I also have attached a two-page print out of the docket sheet showing the next 2 lines of parties listed for the case.

Our on-line docket sheets have a "page forward" feature which permits viewers to see party names, if any, beyond the initial 10 lines designated on the home page of any given docket. Note also that lengthy party names like "Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie as Co-Trustees of the Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement Dated February 10, 1997" take up more than one line in the "Party Name" column and portions of such long names end up on other lines; these latter portions of such long party names also end up having "Also Known As" listed as their party type.

We can provide certified hard copies of both of these documents for a total of $4.60 ($2.00 for the certification of each document and $0.15 per page).

Also attached is a copy of the first page of plaintiff's complaint showing every party named therein. We can provide a certified hard copy of the complaint for an additional $42.00 ($2.00 for the certification and $1.00 per page).

Dear Mr. DeLuca,

This concerns the Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club, 8300 NW 31st Lane Rd, Ocala, FL 34482, Tel. (352) 629-6229, and a possible link to the Marion County Bar Association, Inc., Florida Rigged Judicial Elections and Circuit Judge Ann Melinda Craggs, et al.

My letter November 29, 2016 to Kenneth Detzner, Secretary of State, shows certain judicial elections are rigged in Florida. I believe rigging, planning and strategy takes place off the record, by and through entities like the Marion County Bar Association, Inc.. I was amazed to find on Facebook photographic evidence of certain judges frolicking with lawyers at Golden Ocala on May 6, 2016 during the Law Day Luncheon hosted by the Marion County Bar Association, Inc.

Does Golden Ocala provide free or discounted food and entertainment to judges and lawyers? This is a request for information, specifically how judges and lawyers participate in events at Golden Ocala hosted by the Marion County Bar Association, or other organizations.

The immediate past-president, Gregory C. Harrell, refused to comment. The current president, Robert Batsel, has not provided information. I have attached our emails.

You may agree that fair and honest judicial elections are important to our democratic republic style of government. Your response, if any, is purely voluntary at this time. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Neil J. Gillespie 8092 SW 115th Loop Ocala, Florida 34481 Tel. 352-854-7807 Email: [email protected]

By Fred Hiers

@Hiersnews

Larry Roberts' interest in Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club extends beyond its walls now that the trucking company magnate has bought more than 700 nearby acres with plans to build an equestrian residential community.

The businessman made his fortune when he built the Ohio-based R + L Carriers interstate trucking company and later RLR Investments LLC. The locally well-known philanthropist also owns a nearly 1,250-acre quarter horse farm in Reddick and the former Taylor, Bean & Whitaker mortgage building in Ocala.

For this latest enterprise he paid $10.74 million for eight parcels totaling 734 acres. All the sales were completed in August, according to land records on file with the Marion County Clerk of the Circuit Court.

Many of the parcels are contiguous and next to or close to land that Roberts already owns, namely through RLR Investments LLC. In this case, some of the land is near 427 acres that RLR owns right next to Golden Ocala.

All but one of the buyers in the August land deals were newly formed limited liability companies whose names correspond to the purchased property's parcel number. The companies all share the same mailing address, which is the same as RLR Investments in Ohio.

Don DeLuca, vice president and general counsel for all the Roberts' companies, responded to the Star-Banner's questions in writing. "We are in the planning stages for adding an equestrian element to Golden Ocala commensurate with the high quality of Golden Ocala,"

12/7/2016 3:46 PM http://www.ocala.com/news/20160831/equine-development-planned-near-golden-ocala he wrote.

Asked whether the new development would be an expansion of Golden Ocala or a stand-alone community, DeLuca replied, "We are in the planning stages and that is yet to be determined."

Asked about the density of the planned community, DeLuca replied: "We are in the planning stages and that has yet to be determined, but we very rarely go the route of high-density residential."

Asked whether the new community would offer amenities similar to those at Golden Ocala including tennis, fine dining and a golf course, DeLuca said only that the community would be an equestrian one and include residential equestrian. A start date for construction has not been determined yet.

Asked if Roberts was looking to buy more land for the project or looking to work with area landowners so they might be part of the planned development, DeLuca replied, "No, we are not looking for additional land. We have what we need but would be willing to consider additional, contiguous property."

Local developer John Brunetti's Golden Ocala LLC owns several hundred acres between Golden Ocala, RLR Investment land and the parcels that the Roberts-connected properties just purchased last month.

12/7/2016 3:46 PM http://www.ocala.com/news/20160831/equine-development-planned-near-golden-ocala

Much of the recently purchased land is zoned for rural use. Marion County zoning officials say there has not been any request to change it. However, 475 acres of the 734 acres already is zoned for low and medium residential use.

Roberts bought Golden Ocala in 1999 after several failed starts by other developers. He poured millions of dollars into the project and it now includes not only a world-class golf course but also tennis, horseback riding trails, swimming, fine dining and a clubhouse.

To builders who are slowly digging their way out of the recession and a severe home construction downturn, the announcement of a new development is reason to celebrate.

"As a business person that's good news," said John Thorman, executive officer of the Marion County Building Industry Association. "It's a reflection of the economic recovery that's going on in Ocala and Marion County."

And Roberts' willingness to spend money to buy land here and develop it reflects "faith in the local economy," Thorman said.

Thorman said he hoped projects such as this one will add to the improving new home construction industry, which is making a slow but steady improvement since the industry was badly hurt during the recession.

"When people spend money locally it benefits local businesses and everybody benefits and that's good for everybody," he said.

Thorman said Roberts' plan for an equine community in Marion County is a logical step considering the county's existing horse industry which is supported by skilled equine professionals and employs thousands of people locally.

"We have a robust, thriving horse community in Marion County already. So this is just a natural outgrowth of that industry," he said.

And a new equine-oriented community will help attract more jobs to the area, he said.

Building the new homes will also employ many construction laborers, skilled craftsmen and generate business for those who supply building materials, he said.

But not everyone is enthusiastic about the project - at least until all the details are in.

Guy Marwick, executive director of the Felburn Foundation and an environmentalist, said that more should be learned about the future community's water needs and pollution generated from such things as fertilizer and animal waste.

"We never seem to stop construction and development...;even when it's not needed," Marwick said.

12/7/2016 3:46 PM http://www.ocala.com/news/20160831/equine-development-planned-near-golden-ocala

"We're running out of water. We're already over allocated. I guess we'll stop when the wells go dry," he said.

Marwick said he didn't oppose growth, or necessarily this proposed development, but that growth needed to be well planned and resources conserved.

"We're losing our water because we have growth without a plan," he said. "No one ever has enough."

Gentlemen:

Please find attached the MSN-Compliance for Law Enforcement, and the Microsoft Corporation 2018 Foreign Profit Corporation Annual Report (Florida)

"Hotmail was a web-based email service from Microsoft. Launched in 1996 by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith, Hotmail became one of the first free web-based email services, allowing people to access online inboxes from any location. The name "Hotmail" was decided upon because it includes the letters "HTML," a common programming markup language used when creating web pages. To showcase this, the name of the service was originally styled as "HoTMaiL." In 1997, Hotmail was acquired by Microsoft and became part of the Microsoft Service Network portal as MSN Hotmail. In 2006 and 2007, after competitors like Gmail and Yahoo Mail entered the picture, Microsoft released a new and improved Hotmail as part of . Windows Live Hotmail was continually upgraded until Microsoft released the final version in 2011. And in 2013 the service was replaced by Outlook.com, which currently offers email, contact, task, and calendar-managing services available in 106 languages." https://mashable.com/category/hotmail/

Good Evening Gentlemen:

This evening I received the email forwarded below from "Jennifer Banister" , subject "pedofile", message "im like two".

I do not know a person named "Jennifer Banister", or the purpose of this email, other than it appears to be a form of harassment and intimidation.

The email has attached a PDF of my pleading originally filed in Marion County case no. 2013-CA- 000115, REVERSE MORTGAGE SOLUTIONS, INC., vs NEIL J. GILLESPIE et al.

NOTICE OF FILING FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Voting Section

The email has a link to the pleading as it appears on the Florida Supreme Court website in Case No. SC2017-1321.

The Florida Supreme Court numbers on the PDF show what appears on the pleading when cut and pasted: RECEIVED, 07/18/2017 07:28:35 AM, Clerk, Supreme Court

The Marion County filing numbers on the PDF show a different number from what I cut, see below the pasted number. Filing # 549010352526056136 E-Filed 037/12348/2017 01057:024048:014028 PAMM

Florida Supreme Court Case No. SC2017-1321 was my EMERGENCY PETITION TO CANCEL NON-JURY TRIAL 10:00 AM TODAY filed July 18, 2018.

7/3/2018 Page 3 of 3

Earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed Petitions No. 17-8682 and No. 17-8689, and denied my IFP motions. Apparently that was not enough for "Jennifer Banister", who has commenced this harassment and intimidation, subject "pedofile", message "im like two".

If anyone knows "Jennifer Banister", or the purpose of this email, please advise me. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Neil J. Gillespie 8092 SW 115th Loop Ocala, FL 34481 Tel. 352-854-7807 Email: [email protected]

EMERGENCY REQUESTS

MSN Online Services will respond to emergency requests outside of normal business hours if the emergency involves “the immediate danger of death or physical injury to any person…” as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2702(c)(4) and (b)(8). Emergencies are limited to situations like kidnapping, murder threats, bomb threats, terrorist threats, etc.

If you have an emergency request, please call the law enforcement hotline at (425) 722-1299.

Legal Documentation Required for Customer Account Information and Content

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) (18 U.S.C. § 2701 through 2712) governs what legal documentation is required in order for Microsoft’s MSN Hotmail records custodians to disclose customer account information and email content. For most MSN Online Properties:

Basic Subscriber Information may be Disclosed with a Subpoena. Basic Subscriber Information includes name, address, length of service (start date), screen names, other email accounts, IP address/IP logs/Usage logs, billing information, and email content greater than 180 days old as long as the governmental entity follows the customer notification provisions in ECPA (see 18 U.S.C. § 2705.)

Court Orders are Required for the Rest of the Customer’s Profile (18 U.S.C. § 2703(d) court order.) A 2703(d) court order will compel disclosure of all of the Basic Subscriber Information available under a subpoena plus the Address Book, Buddy Lists, the rest of a customer’s profile not already listed above, internet usage logs (WEBTV), email header information (to/from) excluding subject line, and email content greater than 180 days old as long as the governmental entity follows the customer notification provisions in ECPA (see 18 U.S.C. § 2705.)

Search Warrants are Required for All Email Content Under 180 days.** A search warrant will compel disclosure of all information available with a subpoena or 2703(d) court order (as listed above), plus all email content including subject line for emails under 180 days.

**A Note About Opened Email Content Under 180 days: Under ECPA, opened email stored 180 days or less may be disclosed pursuant to a subpoena or 2703(d) order (as long as a governmental entity follows the customer notification provisions in 18 U.S.C. § 2705) while unopened email stored 180 days or less (email in “electronic storage”) may only be disclosed pursuant to a search warrant. A Ninth Circuit decision in Theofel et al v. Farey-Jones and Kawansy, 341 F.3d 978 (9th Cir. 2003) held that opened emails on ISP servers are also in “electronic storage”. 18 U.S.C. § 2703(a) states that email “in electronic storage… for one hundred eighty days or less” may only be disclosed pursuant to a search warrant. Therefore, as Microsoft’s MSN Hotmail servers are located within the Ninth Circuit (CA), Microsoft only discloses opened and unopened email in electronic storage 180 days or less pursuant to a search warrant.

Preservation Requests 18 U.S.C. § 2703(f): Preserve all information, including IP logs and email contents for a period of 90 days from the date of the requests. Preservation extensions may be served up to two (2) times after the initial request. Each request may extend another 90 days from the date of the current extension. There is a maximum of 270 days on a preservation request.
