BAD COP: Lt. Charles Welch, MCSO

Lt. Charles Welch, MCSO
BAD COP: Lt. Charles Welch, MCSO
South-Marion District Commander
Southwest District Office                
9048 SW State Rd. 200                  
Ocala, FL 34481

Mr. Wilson/Judge Craggs Violation of Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a) Criminal use of personal identification information, etc.

Begining on page 11: APPELLANT’S MOTION TO STRIKE APPELLEE’S "REPLY", CASE NO. 5D19-3479, Fifth District Court of Appeal, Gillespie v. RMS

21. On or about June 13, 2019 I personally met with Marion County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Charles Welch, the South-Marion District Commander, at 8:00 AM in his office at 9048 SW State Rd. 200, Ocala, FL 34481 to request criminal charges against Judge Ann Melenda Craggs for violation of Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a) Criminal use of personal identification information; and related crimes together with Curtis Wilson, Esq., in the wrongful foreclosure of my Fla. residential homestead. My written request to the MCSO appears at Exhibit 9. MCSO Deputy Hunter McMurray, badge 6015, attended the meeting.

22. Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson violated Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a) Criminal use of personal identification information, used as trial evidence in the foreclosure. Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a) states:

(8)(a) Any person who willfully and fraudulently uses, or possesses with intent to fraudulently use, personal identification information concerning a deceased individual or dissolved business entity commits the offense of fraudulent use or possession with intent to use personal identification information of a deceased individual or dissolved business entity, a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

23. My mother, Penelope Gillespie, died on September 16, 2009. RMS alleged so in paragraph 5 of its Verified Complaint To Foreclose Home Equity Conversion Mortgage. Penelope Gillespie was dead on July 18, 2017 when Mr. Wilson submitted trial evidence in violation of § 817.568(8)(a),

Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose
Date Admitted As Evidence: 07/18/2017
Evidence ID: PL-4

because the Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose is dated June 8, 2012 to "Penelope Gillespie" and "Dear Penelope Gillespie". The Evidence List appears at Exhibit 1. The Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose appears at Exhibit 2 and is signed by Judge Craggs.

24. The Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose does not inform "Penelope Gillespie" because she died on September 16, 2009. A deceased person cannot own property, or respond to this notice. This notice is defective.

25. A HECM foreclosure must commence within 6 months. 24 C.F.R. § 206.125(d)(1). Borrower Penelope Gillespie died September 16, 2009. The Plaintiff did not commence this foreclosure until January 9, 2013.

26. Because the Plaintiff missed the time to bring a foreclosure, it has relied on false documents showing Penelope Gillespie is still alive, including its notice of foreclosure, and routine correspondence addressed to "Penelope Gillespie".

27. The Plaintiff’s (RMS) envelope to the NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND INTENT TO FORECLOSE (Exhibit 2) shows different names for U.S. Postal Service Certified Mail, and is therefore fraudulent, because the Notice begins, "Dear Penelope Gillespie:" and not,

"Dear Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie as Co-Trustees of the Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement dated February 10, 1997"

In fact the trust is not mentioned at all. Mark Gillespie was not provided a Notice of Default at his home in Fort Worth, Texas.

28. Therefore service on Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie, is fatally flawed. The Trust was not sued. Penelope Gillespie was not sued. The Estate of Penelope Gillespie was not sued.

29. On information and belief, the Plaintiff sued the wrong party in suing "Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie as Co-Trustee of the Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement Dated February 10, 1997", see the Foreclosure Benchbook 2013 "Parties to the Foreclosure Action", "Necessary and Proper Defendants" page 16:

1. The owner of the fee simple title - only indispensable party defendant to
a foreclosure action. English v. Bankers Trust Co. of Calif., N.A., 895 So.
2d 1120, 1121 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005). Foreclosure is void if titleholder omitted...

30. The titleholder on January 9, 2013 when the case was filed was the "Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement Dated February 10, 1997". The Plaintiff failed to sue the only indispensable party. Therefore, the foreclosure is void. See Filing # 83954243 E-Filed 01/27/2019 11:53:01 PM

31. Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson violated related laws, such as, (See Exhibit 9)

  • F.S. § 837.06 False official statements
  • F.S. § 838.022 Official misconduct
  • F.S. § 839.13 Falsifying records
  • Chapter 825, Abuse, Neglect, And Exploitation Of Elderly Persons and Disabled Adults. I am an elderly person [825.101(4)] and a disabled adult as defined by Chapter 825.
  • Judge Craggs is a public officer who corruptly used her official position as judge to secure a special benefit (corrupt foreclosure) for Mr. Wilson. F.S. § 112.313(6) Misuse of Public Position, (6) MISUSE OF PUBLIC POSITION
  • Judge Craggs is a public servant as provided by the Fla. Const., Art. V, who violated her Oath of Office, see Art. II, sec 5(b).

32. Lt. Welch said the MCSO will not investigate or refer for prosecution crimes committed by lawyers and/or judges if committed during the course of their professional practice. I reminded Lt. Welch that 817.568(8)(a) pertains to "Any person" and that includes lawyers and/or judges whether or not in their personal or professional life. Lt. Welch disagreed; he referred me to the FDLE and/or the FBI.

33. "Basic rights.—All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law..." Art I, sec. 2, Fla. Const. Lawyers and judges are "natural persons" and equal before the law, including 817.568(8)(a) that Lt. Welch refused to enforce, and pertains to "Any person" - including lawyers and judges.

The People’s Bar, an unincorporated assn., Art. I, Sec. 2, Fla. Const.

34. Appellant’s Responses to Notice of Appellant Responsibilities appears at paragraph 5, page 2, DOC-205 Case 3:19-bk-00808-JAF, US Bankruptcy Court, and here at Exhibit 10, and states in relevant part:

5. This chapter 13 bankruptcy has been compromised by a number of issues:

a. The unconstitutional HECM reverse mortgage program;

b. The wrongful foreclosure of my home on a HECM reverse mortgage by the foreclosing plaintiff, Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc.;

c. Violation of criminal law by the foreclosing plaintiff, Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc., and its counsel, n.k.a. McCalla Raymer Leibert Pierce, LLC.;

d. The contemporaneous 2019 Chapter 11 Bankruptcy of Ditech Holding Corporation, parent company of the foreclosing plaintiff, Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc.

e. Corruption by The Florida Bar (a private lawyers guild, an unincorporated association, and a unified bar association) of the US legal system, including the US Supreme Court* and all inferior federal and state courts, the US Department of Justice, and US Trustee.

*An exception is Justice Thomas who granted the Appellant’s applications to
extend time on three separate occasions.

Ultimately this is the result of lawyer-judges (the US does not have professional judges) and lawyers who are members of unified bar associations (about 75 percent; undermining the lawyer's independent exercise of professional judgment, from the client and the interest of justice, to serving the bar to keep his/her bar card, the license to practice) as members of the judicial branch of government, who usurp the constitutional separation of powers, and enter the legislative branch (congress) and the executive branch (president, DOJ). In Marion County Florida, the Marion County Bar Association, Inc. undermines the rule of law by, inter alia, rigging cases (or suggesting outcomes) and bribing lawyer-judges with food, entertainment, and promised rigged public elections (by and through the assurance of no opponents), and other bar-bench schemes concocted at the exclusive and private Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club in Ocala, Florida and elsewhere.

35. Therefore, a "People’s Bar", is needed, perhaps modeled after The Florida Bar as an unincorporated association, because under Art. I, Sec. 1, Fla. Const.:

SECTION 1. Political power.—All political power is inherent in the people. The enunciation herein of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or impair others retained by the people.

Reply to Scott McInerney, Director Executive Investigations, FDLE Jun-28-2019

Mr. McInerney:

This is in reply to your letter June 19, 2019, copy enclosed. You wrote in part,
"Your recent correspondence to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) was forwarded to the Office of Executive Investigations (OEI) for review. In your correspondence, you alleged misconduct against several court appointed officials and you expressed concerns regarding a foreclosed home. Upon review, it was determined that your complaint does not warrant an investigation by FDLE."
You also erroneously referred "misconduct" by Judge Ann Melinda Craggs to the Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC); and you erroneously referred misconduct by attorney Curtis Wilson to The Florida Bar. Mr. Mcinerney, please disabuse yourself that I complained about judicial and/or attorney "misconduct". I complained about crimes, not professional misconduct.

On June 13, 2019 I made, inter alia, a referral to the FDLE for formal criminal charges against Judge Ann Melenda Craggs for violation of Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a) Criminal use of personal identification information; and related crimes together with Curtis Wilson, Esq., in the wrongful foreclosure of my Fla. residential homestead. (Copy enclosed)

On June 20, 2019 I made, inter alia, a referral to the FDLE for formal criminal charges against Judge Ann Melenda Craggs for violation of Fla. Stat. § 812.014(1) and § 812.014 (2)(a)1 Grand Theft; and related crimes together with Curtis Wilson, Esq., in the wrongful foreclosure of my Fla. residential homestead. (Copy enclosed)

I am certain you know and understand the difference between crimes such as 817.568(8)(a), 812.014(1), and 812.014 (2)(a)1, and misconduct by judges and lawyers. The FDLE can prosecute those crimes, while the JQC and The Florida Bar cannot prosecute crimes.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) referred me to the FDLE and the FBI for the crimes of 817.568(8)(a), 812.014(1), and 812.014 (2)(a)1 as attached. Timothy T. McCourt, general counsel for the MCSO, also advised me to contact the FDLE and FBI. Furthermore, your referral to private counsel is misplaced. Mr. McCourt is a lawyer and member of The Florida Bar, and he advised me to contact the FDLE and FBI.

I reiterate my request to the FDLE to prosecute 817.568(8)(a), 812.014(1), and 812.014 (2)(a)1 as set forth in the attached/enclosed complaints. Thank you.

Sincerely,

REQUEST for PROSECUTON Judge Ann Melinda Craggs and Mr. Wilson Violated Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a)

RE: REQUEST for PROSECUTION Judge Ann Melinda Craggs and Mr. Wilson Violated Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a)

Gentlemen:

This is a referral for formal criminal charges against Judge Ann Melenda Craggs for violation of Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a) Criminal use of personal identification information; and related crimes together with Curtis Wilson, Esq., in the wrongful foreclosure of my Fla. residential homestead.

Judge Ann Melenda Craggs ("Judge Craggs") has presided over the foreclosure of my home in Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. v. Neil J. Gillespie, et al., Case No.: 2013-CA-00115, Marion County Circuit Court, Florida Fifth Judicial District, since August 18, 2016, after the recusal, sua sponte, of Judge Steven G. Rogers, see Doc-354 Order of Recusal, entered on August 17, 2016. The case commenced on January 9, 2013 in Marion County.

Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. ("RMS") is represented by Curtis Alan Wilson (Bar ID 77669) of McCalla, Raymer, Leibert, Pierce, LLC, 225 E. Robinson St. Suite 115, Orlando, FL 32801.

RMS is an active (as of today) Foreign Profit Corporation registered with the Florida Division of Corporations. The 2019 Foreign Profit Corporation Annual Report for RMS appears online, and shows the address for RMS: 14405 Walters Road, Suite 200, Houston, TX 77014.

RMS and its parent company Ditech Holding Corporation are in chapter 11 bankruptcy, consolidated case number 1:19-bk-10412 in the New York Southern Bankruptcy Court.

This referral is to both the MCSO and the OPD since either agency may have jurisdiction, as I understand, over crimes occurring July 18, 2017, in the Marion County Judicial Center, 110 NW 1st Ave., Ocala, FL 34475 during a non-jury trial where Judge Craggs entered a Final Judgment of Foreclosure that does not mention the arguments I made before becoming sick, or mention the fact that I was transported to the hospital before the trial ended, and left without anyone to represent me. Judge Craggs did not include any of my documents into evidence.

I am age 63. I am disabled with type 2 diabetes since 2006. Social Security determined I was totally disabled since 1992 following a traumatic brain injury as a survivor of a street robbery.

Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson continue to rely upon the fruits of their crime in the wrongful foreclosure of my Florida residential homestead property located at 8092 SW 115th Loop, Ocala, Florida, 34481, Marion County.

The Plaintiff’s (RMS) state court in rem action alleges the 2009 death of Penelope Gillespie is grounds to foreclose a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage on my homestead residence, 8092 SW 115th Loop, Ocala, Marion County, Florida in a 55+ community called Oak Run. The property’s market value is $80,565 according to the MCPA (2018). I am one of three (3) borrowers, with my mother Penelope Gillespie, and brother Mark Gillespie.

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. The record shows substantial violations of the HECM rules by the HUD-approved lender and lender parties.

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".

Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson violated Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a)

Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson violated Fla. Stat. § 817.568(8)(a) Criminal use of personal identification information, used as trial evidence in the foreclosure.

Section 817.568(8)(a) states:
(8)(a) Any person who willfully and fraudulently uses, or possesses with intent to fraudulently use, personal identification information concerning a deceased individual or dissolved business entity commits the offense of fraudulent use or possession with intent to use personal identification information of a deceased individual or dissolved business entity, a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
My mother, Penelope Gillespie, died on September 16, 2009. RMS alleged so in paragraph 5 of its Verified Complaint To Foreclose Home Equity Conversion Mortgage.

Penelope Gillespie was dead on July 18, 2017 when Mr. Wilson submitted trial evidence in violation of § 817.568(8)(a),
Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose
Date Admitted As Evidence: 07/18/2017
Evidence ID: PL-4
because the Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose is dated June 8, 2012 to "Penelope Gillespie" and "Dear Penelope Gillespie". The Evidence List appears at Exhibit 1. The Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose appears at Exhibit 2 and is signed by Judge Craggs.

The Notice of Default and Intent to Foreclose does not inform "Penelope Gillespie" because she died on September 16, 2009. A deceased person cannot own property, or respond to this notice. This notice is defective.

A HECM foreclosure must commence within 6 months. 24 C.F.R. § 206.125(d)(1). Borrower Penelope Gillespie died September 16, 2009. The Plaintiff did not commence this foreclosure until January 9, 2013.

Because the Plaintiff missed the time to bring a foreclosure, it has relied on false documents showing Penelope Gillespie is still alive, including its notice of foreclosure, and routine correspondence addressed to "Penelope Gillespie".

The Plaintiff’s (RMS) envelope to the NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND INTENT TO
FORECLOSE (Exhibit 2) shows different names for U.S. Postal Service Certified Mail,
and is therefore fraudulent, because the Notice begins, "Dear Penelope Gillespie:" and not,
"Dear Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie as Co-Trustees of the Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement dated February 10, 1997"
In fact the trust is not mentioned at all. Mark Gillespie was not provided a Notice of Default at his home in Fort Worth, Texas.

Therefore service on Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie, is fatally flawed. The Trust was not sued. Penelope Gillespie was not sued. The Estate of Penelope Gillespie was not sued.

On information and belief, the Plaintiff sued the wrong party in suing "Neil J.
Gillespie and Mark Gillespie as Co-Trustee of the Gillespie Family Living Trust
Agreement Dated February 10, 1997", see the Foreclosure Benchbook 2013 "Parties

2d 1120, 1121 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005). Foreclosure is void if titleholder
omitted...
The titleholder on January 9, 2013 when the case was filed was the "Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement Dated February 10, 1997". The Plaintiff failed to sue the only indispensable party. Therefore, the foreclosure is void. See Filing # 83954243 E-Filed 01/27/2019 11:53:01 PM
DEFENDANT NEIL J. GILLESPIE’S AMENDED VERIFIED MOTION TO VACATE FINAL JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE AND CANCEL MARCH 11, 2019 FORECLOSURE SALE
I demand Judge Craggs, and Mr. Wilson, be prosecuted for violation of § 817.568(8)(a), a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson also violated related laws, such as,
F.S. § 837.06 False official statements .—Whoever knowingly makes a false statement in writing with the intent to mislead a public servant in the performance of his or her official duty shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. 
Mr. Wilson and Judge Craggs made false statements in writing to mislead the Marion County Clerk in the performance of his duties. Regarding Judge Craggs,
F.S. § 838.022 Official misconduct.—
(1) It is unlawful for a public servant or public contractor, to knowingly and intentionally obtain a benefit for any person or to cause unlawful harm to another, by:
(a) Falsifying, or causing another person to falsify, any official record or official document;
Judge Craggs knowingly and intentionally obtained a benefit (foreclosure) for any person (Mr. Wilson) or to cause unlawful harm to another (Neil J. Gillespie) by falsifying, or causing another person to falsify, any official record or official document;
F.S. § 839.13 Falsifying records.—
(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), if any judge, justice, mayor, alderman, clerk, sheriff, coroner, or other public officer, or employee or agent of or contractor with a public agency, or any person whatsoever, shall steal, embezzle, alter, corruptly withdraw, falsify or avoid any record, process, charter, gift, grant, conveyance, or contract, or any paper filed in any judicial proceeding in any court of this state, or shall knowingly and willfully take off, discharge or conceal any issue, forfeited recognizance, or other forfeiture, or other paper above mentioned, or shall forge, deface, or falsify any document or instrument recorded, or filed in any court, or any registry, acknowledgment, or certificate, or shall fraudulently alter, deface, or falsify any minutes, documents, books, or any proceedings whatever of or belonging to any public office within this state; or if any person shall cause or procure any of the offenses aforesaid to be committed, or be in anywise concerned therein, the person so offending shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
Chapter 825, Abuse, Neglect, And Exploitation Of Elderly Persons and Disabled Adults

I am an elderly person [825.101(4)] and a disabled adult as defined by Chapter 825.

Judge Craggs is a public officer who corruptly used her official position as judge to secure a special benefit (corrupt foreclosure) for Mr. Wilson.
F.S. § 112.313(6) Misuse of Public Position,
(6) MISUSE OF PUBLIC POSITION.—No public officer, employee of an agency, or local government attorney shall corruptly use or attempt to use his or her official position or any property or resource which may be within his or her trust, or perform his or her official duties, to secure a special privilege, benefit, or exemption for himself, herself, or others. This section shall not be construed to conflict with s. 104.31. 
Judge Craggs is a public servant as provided by the Fla. Const., Art. V, who violated her Oath of Office, see Art. II, sec 5(b).
(b) Each state and county officer, before entering upon the duties of the office, shall give bond as required by law, and shall swear or affirm:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States and of the State of Florida; that I am duly qualified to hold office under the Constitution of the state; and that I will well and faithfully perform the duties of   (title of office)   on which I am now about to enter. So help me God.",
and thereafter shall devote personal attention to the duties of the office, and continue in office until a successor qualifies.
Judge Craggs has committed other crimes in this foreclosure. I may submit those separately. But I may not, if the enclosed evidence and accusations are sufficient to arrest and convict Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson. The Bar and the Bench have worked since 2013 to confuse just about every issue in this case. I do not want to confuse this case further and thereby undermine any prosecutable crime(s) against Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson. Thank you.

Sincerely,

HECM’s are non-recourse loans and you, and your heirs, will not be personally liable for the amounts owed. You and your heirs will not be pursued for any deficiency after foreclosure or after any short sale or 95% payoff that is completed in accordance with the rules, regulations and guidelines of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD").

Page 2 is titled,
What Options Are Available When the HECM loan becomes due and payable?

Page 3 states at paragraph (7):
(7) Walk Away. There is always the option of walking away and permitting the lender to foreclose. This is a non-recourse reverse mortgage loan and the borrower, the borrower’s estate and borrower’s heirs will not be pursued for a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.

The Plaintiff’s VERIFIED COMPLAINT TO FORECLOSE HOME EQUITY CONVERSION MORTGAGE, 40 pages filed January 9, 2013, is available online, see the Marion County Clerk’s website at https://www.marioncountyclerk.org/

The "WHEREFORE" part of the verified complaint alleges at paragraph g, "WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court grant judgment in its favor as follows: (pp 4-5)
g. Retain jurisdiction of this cause and the parties hereto to determine Plaintiffs entitlement to a deficiency judgment and the amount thereof; unless any Defendant personally liable shall have been discharged from liability under the subject Note pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code 11. U.S.C. § 101, et. seq,.; and
I believe the "WHEREFORE" part of this verified complaint is meaningless because the Plaintiff failed to plead grounds or entitlement for a deficiency judgment.

Nonetheless, Judge Craggs found RMS entitled to a deficiency judgment as follows:

The Final Judgment of Foreclosure (Exhibit 5) states at paragraph 10,
10. The Court retains jurisdiction of this action to enter further Orders that are proper including, without limitation, writs of possession, deficiency judgments and re-foreclosure of omitted parties and to determine the amount of assessments due pursuant to Florida Statutes 718.116 or 720.3085, if applicable.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy of Neil J. Gillespie Case No 3:19-bk-00808-JAF

Currently I am in Chapter 13 bankruptcy as a direct result of this reverse mortgage, Case No. 3:19-bk-00808-JAF, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division.

Attorney Austin M Noel, Florida Bar No. 106539, McCalla Raymer Leibert Pierce, LLC, represents creditor Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc., and filed two motions for relief from the automatic bankruptcy stays, one for me as Debtor (Doc 45) and one for Mark Gillespie (Doc 46).

Attorney Noel contends in each pleading:

          Paragraph 3, in part: "On July 18, 2017, a Final Judgment of Foreclosure was entered in the amount of $148,363.32." (Doc 45 and Doc 46)

Paragraph 5, in part: "The Debtor has no equity in the Property, as evidenced by the Marion County Property Appraiser’s value, which lists the value of the Property at $80,565.00," (Doc 45 and Doc 46)

Attorney Melbalynn Fisher of McCalla Raymer Leibert Pierce, LLC filed a Proof of Claim for creditor Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. in the amount of $185,966.75. (Exhibit 6).

Therefore, using the amounts provided by Attorney Noel and Attorney Fisher, the amount of a deficiency judgment exceeds $100.000, calculated as follows:

Proof of Claim filed by Attorney Fisher, MRLP: $185,966.75
Value of the property asserted by Attorney Noel, MRLP: $80,565
Current projected deficiency judgment: $105,401.75

Background

Judge Ann Melenda Craggs ("Judge Craggs") has presided over the foreclosure of my home in Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. v. Neil J. Gillespie, et al., Case No.: 2013-CA-00115, Marion County Circuit Court, Florida Fifth Judicial District, since August 18, 2016, after the recusal, sua sponte, of Judge Steven G. Rogers, see Doc-354 Order of Recusal, entered on August 17, 2016. The case commenced on January 9, 2013 in Marion County.

Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. ("RMS") is represented by Curtis Alan Wilson (Bar ID 77669) of McCalla, Raymer, Leibert, Pierce, LLC, 225 E. Robinson St. Suite 115, Orlando, FL 32801.

RMS is an active (as of today) Foreign Profit Corporation registered with the Florida Division of Corporations. The 2019 Foreign Profit Corporation Annual Report for RMS appears online, and shows the address for RMS: 14405 Walters Road, Suite 200, Houston, TX 77014.

RMS and its parent company Ditech Holding Corporation are in chapter 11 bankruptcy, consolidated case number 1:19-bk-10412 in the New York Southern Bankruptcy Court.

I am age 63. I am disabled as determined by Social Security. Judge Craggs presided over a non-jury trial July 18, 2017 in the Marion County Judicial Center, 110 NW 1st Ave., Ocala, FL 34475. Judge Craggs entered a Final Judgment of Foreclosure that does not mention the arguments I made before becoming sick, or mention the fact that I was transported to the hospital before the trial ended, and left without anyone to represent me. Judge Craggs did not include any of my documents into evidence.

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).

Count II - F.S. § 837.06 False official statements

Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson also violated related laws, such as,

F.S. § 837.06 False official statements .—Whoever knowingly makes a false statement in writing with the intent to mislead a public servant in the performance of his or her official duty shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

Mr. Wilson and Judge Craggs made false statements in writing to mislead the Marion County Clerk in the performance of his duties. Regarding Judge Craggs,

Count III - F.S. § 838.022 Official misconduct

F.S. § 838.022 Official misconduct.—
(1) It is unlawful for a public servant or public contractor, to knowingly and intentionally obtain a benefit for any person or to cause unlawful harm to another, by:
(a) Falsifying, or causing another person to falsify, any official record or official document;

Judge Craggs knowingly and intentionally obtained a benefit (deficiency judgment) for any person (Mr. Wilson) or to cause unlawful harm to another (Neil J. Gillespie) by falsifying, or causing another person to falsify, any official record or official document;

Count IV - F.S. § 839.13 Falsifying records
F.S. § 839.13 Falsifying records.—
(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), if any judge, justice, mayor, alderman, clerk, sheriff, coroner, or other public officer, or employee or agent of or contractor with a public agency, or any person whatsoever, shall steal, embezzle, alter, corruptly withdraw, falsify or avoid any record, process, charter, gift, grant, conveyance, or contract, or any paper filed in any judicial proceeding in any court of this state, or shall knowingly and willfully take off, discharge or conceal any issue, forfeited recognizance, or other forfeiture, or other paper above mentioned, or shall forge, deface, or falsify any document or instrument recorded, or filed in any court, or any registry, acknowledgment, or certificate, or shall fraudulently alter, deface, or falsify any minutes, documents, books, or any proceedings whatever of or belonging to any public office within this state; or if any person shall cause or procure any of the offenses aforesaid to be committed, or be in anywise concerned therein, the person so offending shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
Count V - Chapter 825, Abuse, Neglect, And Exploitation
Of Elderly Persons and Disabled Adults 

I am an elderly person [825.101(4)] and a disabled adult as defined by Chapter 825.

Count VI - F.S. § 112.313(6) Misuse of Public Position

Judge Craggs is a public officer who corruptly used her official position as judge to secure a special benefit (corrupt foreclosure) for Mr. Wilson.
F.S. § 112.313(6) Misuse of Public Position,
(6) MISUSE OF PUBLIC POSITION.—No public officer, employee of an agency, or local government attorney shall corruptly use or attempt to use his or her official position or any property or resource which may be within his or her trust, or perform his or her official duties, to secure a special privilege, benefit, or exemption for himself, herself, or others. This section shall not be construed to conflict with s. 104.31. 
Count VII - violated Oath of Office, Art. II, sec 5(b)

Judge Craggs is a public servant as provided by the Fla. Const., Art. V, who violated her Oath of Office, see Art. II, sec 5(b).
(b) Each state and county officer, before entering upon the duties of the office, shall give bond as required by law, and shall swear or affirm:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States and of the State of Florida; that I am duly qualified to hold office under the Constitution of the state; and that I will well and faithfully perform the duties of   (title of office)   on which I am now about to enter. So help me God.",
and thereafter shall devote personal attention to the duties of the office, and continue in office until a successor qualifies.

Count VIII - Art. II, Sec 8. Ethics in government.—A public office is a public trust.
The people shall have the right to secure and sustain that trust against abuse.

Note: The Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) has reviewed my complaints against Judge Craggs (Docket No. 16-561; Docket No. 19-032) and reached the same conclusion:
The Investigative Panel of the Commission has completed its review of your complaint in the above matter and has determined, at its most recent meeting, that the concerns you have expressed are not allegations involving a breach of the Code of Judicial Conduct warranting further action by the Commission but are matters for review through the normal court process. 
The purpose of the Commission is to determine the existence of judicial misconduct and disability as defined by the Constitution and the laws of the State of Florida. If such misconduct or disability is found, the Commission can recommend disciplinary action to the Florida Supreme Court. The Commission has found no basis for further action on your complaint that therefore has been dismissed.
Therefore, jurisdiction shifts to law enforcement for "review [trial] through the normal court process" as stated in the attached JQC close-out letters for Judge Craggs, because,
A public office is a public trust. The people shall have the right to secure and sustain that trust against abuse. - Art. II, Sec 8. Ethics in government.
Judge Craggs has committed other crimes in this foreclosure. I may submit those separately. But I may not, if the enclosed evidence and accusations are sufficient to arrest and convict Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson. The Bar and the Bench have worked since 2013 to confuse just about every issue in this case. I do not want to confuse this case further and thereby undermine any prosecutable crime(s) against Judge Craggs and Mr. Wilson. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Neil J. Gillespie

December 30, 2017

The U.S. Supreme Court has docketed my two petitions for writ of certiorari in the wrongful foreclosure of my home on a reverse mortgage.

Docket for 17-7053 (Supreme Court of Florida Case #SC17-1570)
Title: Neil J. Gillespie, Petitioner v. Reverse Mortgage Solutions
Neil J. Gillespie, Petitioner. Petition for a writ of certiorari and motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis filed. (Response due January 10, 2018) Party name: Neil Gillespie

Docket for 17-7054 (Supreme Court of Florida Case #SC17-1572)
Title: Neil J. Gillespie, Petitioner v. Reverse Mortgage Solutions
Neil J. Gillespie, Petitioner. Petition for a writ of certiorari and motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis filed. (Response due January 10, 2018) Party name: Neil Gillespie

                                        QUESTIONS PRESENTED
                               (same questions presented for each petition)

1.    Does the Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantee the right to a trial by jury in a state court residential home foreclosure of a federal Home Equity Conversion Mortgage [12 USC § 1715z–20; 24 CFR Part 206] also called a HECM reverse mortgage?

2.    Does a disabled homeowner age 61 have a right to assistance of counsel under the federal Older Americans Act, 42 U.S. Code Chapter 35 - PROGRAMS FOR OLDER AMERICANS, for old age, and disability including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

3.    Can the Civil Rights Division, Voting Section, U.S. Department of Justice ignore the enclosed Voting Section complaint against Florida’s rigged judicial elections?

4.     Can the U.S. Department of Justice deny on May 18, 2017 my FOIA into the mental health screening imposed by the Florida Supreme Court on bar applicants, because the records you have requested pertain to an ongoing law enforcement proceeding?

5.    Can the U.S. Supreme Court ignore wrongdoing in Petition 12-7747 for a writ of certiorari as stated in the enclosed letter of Mr. Clayton Higgins on October 19, 2016?

6.    Do time limits on civil litigation have any meaning? Pursuant to Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.250(a)(1)(B), the time standard for a civil trial case is 18 months from filing to final disposition. Non-jury cases — 12 months (filing to final disposition)
