Please support SCOTUS Petition for Rehearing 13-7280; Stop a wrongful HECM foreclosure of my home

My home wrongly in foreclosure
Petition for rehearing filed February 7, 2014
Hello, I am asking for support to save my home from wrongful foreclosure on a HECM reverse mortgage. I am not a lawyer, just an ordinary person representing myself pro se. Opposing counsel is foreclosure mill McCalla Raymer LLC, representing Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. Defending foreclosure is costly in the Supreme Court, even when appearing in forma pauperis. My UPS invoices total $1,891.22 for the last three months.

Any donation is appreciated; excess donations will go toward ongoing expenses, such as, a case of paper ($29), copy machine toner ($50), a replacement drum ($41), inkjet printer cartridges ($38 a pair), a process server ($25) or $50 expedited, or computer repairs ($60 hr.). Donations can be made on GoFundMe crowd funding. GoFundMe is explained in this YouTube video.



Neil J. Gillespie v. Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. et al
Petition No. 13-7280 for rehearing, U.S. Supreme Court

My petition was denied January 13, 2014. Rule 44 allows a petition for rehearing within 25 days, which I believe is February 7, 2014. If my petition for rehearing is denied, the district court suggested in its remand order that I may sue the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in a separate action. NOTE: Petition for rehearing filed February 7, 2014

"This Order should not be interpreted as a ruling concerning whether, or to what extent, Mr. Gillespie can sue HUD in a separate action. Rather, this Order is limited to whether the Court has subject matter jurisdiction over the specific action that has been removed to this Court". - Senior U.S. Judge Wm. Terrell Hodges, Order Remanding Case, March 7, 2013. [fn1, p.4] 

STATEMENT OF THE CASE, page 6, Petition No. 13-7280

My name is Neil Gillespie, the petitioner reluctantly appearing pro se [fn1], henceforth in the first person, age 57, a law-abiding, indigent, disabled single man, a surviving "reverse" mortgage borrower [fn2], and homeowner in a 55+ community in Ocala Florida. This petition is to save my home from a disputed foreclosure [fn3] of a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage [fn4] or HECM, a FHA [fn5] "reverse" mortgage program administered by the Secretary, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (Secretary or HUD). My home’s value is $74,730 and falling. The mortgage payoff balance is $114,889. The property is "underwater" by $40,159. A HECM cannot be refinanced. A ruling January 4, 2013 in Bennett v. Donovan held in part (PDF):

"HUD itself has the capability to provide complete relief to the lenders and mortgagors alike, which eliminates the uncertainty of third-party action that would otherwise block standing."

I bear witness to the "uncertainty of third-party action", which here includes political persecution by The Florida Bar, U.S. Judge William Terrell Hodges, and Florida attorneys Ryan Christopher Rodems and Eugene P. Castagliuolo, in retaliation for my Petition No. 12-7747 for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court that sought better regulation of the legal profession, and redress of grievances with Mr. Rodems’ law firm. Current political persecution of me includes: 

1.     The Florida Bar for an open investigation of me for Unlicensed Practice of Law (UPL).
2.     Mr. Rodems made the UPL complaint against me for representing myself & my interests. 
3.     Judge Hodges corruptly assisted McCalla Raymer in a wrongfully foreclosure of my home.
4.     Mr. Castagliuolo’ ongoing threats to interfere with my Social Security disability income.

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).

I am one of two surviving HECM mortgagors, and the only surviving homeowner living in the home, alone, in substantial compliance with the HECM Note, making this foreclosure of a HECM premature. My bother Mark Gillespie of Fort Worth Texas is also a surviving borrower, but he does not live in the home. 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). Mortgagor Ms. Gillespie died in 2009.

But I am a surviving borrower or mortgagor living in the home as my principal residence, and retain title to the property. Therefore I dispute the Plaintiff’s allegations in its "Verified Complaint to Foreclose Home Equity Conversion Mortgage". (Doc. 2). That means a substantial disputed issue of federal HECM law is a necessary element of the Plaintiff’s state law foreclosure claim that this HECM is due and payable. The 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...". (Doc. 18, page 2).

Fed. R. Civ. Pro 13(g) permits a crossclaim by one party, me, against a coparty, HUD, "if the claim arises out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the original action or of a counterclaim, or if the claim relates to any property that is the subject matter of the original action." My home is property that is the subject matter of the original action. The Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. 2) is an in rem action against my home (Doc. 1,  par.1, par.15) my primary residence (Doc. 5,  2, 6, 9, 20, 118, ) and homestead. (Doc. 9).

Also see my Motion to Reconsider, Vacate or Modify Order filed July 2, 2013 in the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 13-11585-B. Most of the pleadings are posted on Scribd, including my Notice of Removal, the foreclosure complaint, my motion to dismiss and exhibits, and complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), parts one, two and three.

Treaties of the United States, affidavits and appeal to the United Nations

My affidavit to the United Nations shows I have a well-founded fear of political persecution.

My Urgent Appeal to the United Nations seeks an observer and protection from political persecution in the United States. The Florida Bar is a cross-party for political persecution in Petition No. 13-7280 and is represented by Bridget Smitha of Greenberg & Traurig, P.A. Separately I asked former President Jimmy Carter for an observer under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) which I learned about through his article, U.S. Finally Ratifies Human Rights Covenant, on the Carter Center website.

Ethics Investigation of Attorney General Pam Bondi

Rowland, General Counsel for Respondent Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Florida, and other Respondents and non-respondents, in Petition No. 12-7747. My affidavit to the United Nations shows fraud or impairment of Petition No. 12-7747, a legitimate government activity, 18 U.S.C. § 371, a conspiracy against my rights, 18 U.S.C. § 241, to deprive me of rights under color of law, 18 U.S.C. § 242.

Mr. Handberg was present June 12, 2002 at a mediation in Tampa and knew I was not satisfied with Barker, Rodems & Cook (BRC) who represented me. On or about May 22, 2002 I called...read more

Congressman Elijah Cummings
U.S. Congressman Elijah Cummings, Ranking Member United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

McCalla Raymer LLC, a notorious foreclosure mill cited in a letter by U.S. Congressman Elijah Cummings to Steve Linick, Inspector General of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, asking for an "investigation into widespread allegations of abuse by private attorneys and law firms hired to process foreclosures as part of the "Retained Attorney Network" established by Fannie Mae." Congressman Cummings wrote this about McCalla Raymer, LLC:

"Another firm in the Retained Attorney Network, McCalla Raymer, L.L.C., is a defendant in a federal lawsuit in which the plaintiffs allege that it engaged in fraud, racketeering, and the manufacture of fraudulent foreclosure documents. Reportedly, this firm established operations in Florida under the name Stone, McGehee & Silver and hired ten former Stern law firm employees. The firm Stone, McGehee and Silver, LLC, dba McCalla Raymer currently appears as a "Designated Counsel/Trustee" in Florida for Freddie Mac."

McCalla Raymer, LLC was also sued in the following federal lawsuits of which I am aware:

Muradas et al v. M&T Bank, RMS, 0.13-cv-60178-RSR
U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida
Caceres v. McCalla Raymer, LLC, 1.13-cv-20035
