    I am the co-founder a small business that, among otheractivities, a,nalyzes foreclosure case information"M.7 ccll eague Lisa Epstein brought the above-captioned casetc my attention and asked me to search for others that fitthe same fact pattern: docket entrles that prove non-ccmpliance with court orders that mandate mediation orccnciliation.My research uncovered other incidences of non-compl-iance tcmedj ation and conciliation orders. My engineeri-ng wor"k isonqoing. Earty analysis indicates that the non-complianceerrident in ihis specif ic case is not an isolated inci dent.Wtiile there is no requirement for standing to petition theCourt to issue an order to show cause for indirect criminalcontempt, blatant disregard for the authority of ourjudiciary has a ripple effect that affects the entirecomrnunity. Contempt is a crime andn like any crime wave/erodes the security and well-being of every person in thecrime*infected neighborhood-I am willing to share the findings of my research, eitherin summary form or in as much detail as requestedn with theCourt and/or law enforcement.

    I am committed to the concepts of social, leqal, and economicjusticen particularly with respect to the forecfosure crrsisaffecting America today.

    1 . I value the freedoms and rigrhtsc.i i i zons hrl the U. S. Constitution.

    afforded to Amerrcan

    B. I value the freedoms and rights afforded t-o the citizensFlorida in fhe Constitution of the State of Slorida includingrights of due process delineated in Section II and Section IX.

    9- I value the rig'ht to live in a state where there exists aseparation of powers between the executive, legislative, andjudicial branch.

    10. I belj-eve it' is vltal to our community, our country/ and toevery American to ensure access to a judicia::y free frompolitical pressure, even when driven by perceived pressingeconomic interests. Economically driven political pressure onthe judiciary such as the pressure from the Florida l,egislatu::eurcon the Florida Supreme Court to .set. a goal of a 62% reductionin foreclosure case backlog within a short time frame isreminiscent of the manipulation of the judiciary by the Krng ofEngland against which our founding fathers complained of whent.hey penned the Decfaration of fnciependence. These concerns fedt,c the bedrock const.itutional principle of independent courts, acore balance of power at the federal and state level.

    11 - I value the right to live in a conmunity where there existsan expectation of compliance with orders by the courts of tliestate.

    72. I am the mother of a belo',red American child who will growL.p to inherit the rotten fruits of the current Americanforeclosure crisis.

    13. I am a reqistered nurse who has taken a solemn and sacredoa.th 1-.o devote myself to those committed to my care.

    L4 " I am dedicated to the ethical ideological theory of socialresponsibility which includes helping others meet the most basicneeds of alL living things-food, water, and shelter.

    15. I have personally observed over 1,000 foreclosure hearingsin the 15th Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County,Florida.

    16. I have seen al1 walks of society lose their homes, manywithout- alLernative housing options. f wa tch them all; Lrefamilies with yolrnq children, the disabled, hard-working or newl-yunempJ-oyed, the men/ the women, all et.hnicities, all agles, andtneir affected animal companions. The most horrifying is theelderly, some in their BOs and 90s, whose homes were fully paidoff n yet v/ere fured into over-inflated, teaser rate foans, andn3w are in foreclosure. Some of these older FloriCians have nolivingi children, no lifespan l-eft in which to recover from thr seconomic blor,^r, and no place to gio. I question daily how we as asociety can treat our citizens of all ages, and our befoved petsthis rlay, evictinq them from the only homes they know.

    I1. I offer emotional support to thousands of people impactedby the foreclosure crisis across our nation, vi a phone, emaii,online/ prayer/ and in person.

    2\. f have hosted strategic sessions for: those who are equallyconcerned about America's Foreclosure Crisis. These have been inthe forn of social gatherings" forma] seminars, small groupmeetinqsn etc-

    24. I am aware of the great burden that Wall Street's recklessgamble has placed squarely on the back of Florida's judiciary.

    25 - The 15th Judicial Circuit foreclosure electr:onic docket lagsup to ei-ght weeks behind the filing of a pleading. A pleadingfiled today miEht be added to the computerized docket in six toeight weeks, after which" there is an additional four lo six weeklag before the pleading is fited in the hard copy court file.The foreclosure Plaintiff law firms are notorious for their lackof nolifying defendants or their counsel

    26 - In the spring 201-0 session, Florida' s legislatu,re re j ectedlegislation written by the Florida Bankers Association which, ifpassed, woufd have removed new foreclosure cases from t-he cou::tsystem unless the homeowner was able to pay up to $1,900 infiling fees in addit.ion to palzing for legal fees. By rejectingthis Iegislation, the Florida legislature soundly rejected theFlorida Banker Associations' attempt at jettisoning the dueprocess rigihts of Floridians.

    21 - Fiorida's legislature allocated a one*time statewideallocation of funds to be distributed throughout the Florida'scourt system. The 15th Judicial Circuit received two allotments:$540,C00 earmarked to cover salaries of two senior ludges anC sixc,r.se manaqer,s; $403,000 to fund document management tasks -28 " Il is increasingly apparent that these funds wereexclusively budgeted to fund the newly evolved "rocket-docket"slzstem of for eclosure case dispensation without any consideratior-tgiven to monitori-ng compliance with Florida law, principles of

    equity, or the mandatory Florida Supreme Court Foreclosure TaskForce's orders in AOSC09-54 and SCO9-1460. These two orders werecraftecl after a year of careful consideration and effort by chemembers of the Task Force and Supreme Court Judges who took theLlnusual and signifj-cant action of requiring mediation in specificcases and amending the Rules of Civil Procedure for forecfosure

    Furthermore, it is increasingly apparent that thei:udgei-ary priority is flip-flopped- The dramatic acceleration offoreclosure sunmary judgment hearings is aggravatinq ttrecatastrcphic legal outcomes of the preexisting and growingbacklogi of documents neither docketed nor filed.

    29. Confidence in the docket's deplction of case actirrity hasC,eteriorated to the point that hearings and d-eadlines a::e missed,effectively eliminatinq opportunities to move for a rehearing' tooppose a pleading, to t.imely file responses or obiections, tomove to vacate a sale, and,/or to file for an appeal'30. In this specific case/ Deutsche Bank v- Zapata, Case No502O08CAO173B4XXXMB, the parties were ordered to mediation.

Mr. Stern is a high-volume foreclosure filer who presumablyis aware cf the f act t.hat f oreclosure cases init iated prior t-othe effective date of the Flor:ida Supreme Court Administral-iveOrder AOSC09-54 may be court ordered to mediation and the upfrontpalment of the mediation costs to be borne by the party orparties at the discretion of the presiding judge-

    I am a foreclosure crisis activist, a consumer advocate, andair investor advocate. I spend a great deal of time, attention,and effort focusinq on America's foreclosure crisis.

    $700,000,000-000 in a bailout- benefitting only one party to themortgage contract. This interference effectively guillotined theright of every mo-rtgagee to negotiate with an insoLvent bankreaCy tc cut its losses by reducing individual loan principalbafances. This bailout of one party to the subject- contract wasfollowed by a diametrically opposed governmental response towardsthe other party to the subject contract; lethargic, apathetic,ineffective governmental programs that reek of corrupLion andfavoritism towards the bailed out party.

    3. As part of my activities I founded a popular website,Foreclosu,reHaml-et . org - The site is dedicated to supporting,informing, and connecting people affected by the foreclosurecrisis, creating ongoing roundtab.l-e discussions about the relateds:cial, ethical, moral issues, and empowering all to defend theirfanily hones during these perilous times in our country"
