Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. v

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellant, Clare Trevarthen, hereby pleads that the honorable Court

of Appeals reverse the judgment of the Williamson County District Court

#26 and remand for further proceedings, and in support of this motion she

shows the Court:

Statement of the Case

1.01. Appellant is Mrs. Clare Trevarthen (hereinafter “Trevarthen” or

“Appellant”).

1.02. Appellees are Nationstar Mortgage LLC (hereinafter “Nationstar”);

Auction.com; Pamela Cirkiel (hereinafter “Cirkiel”); Helen G. Kinneman

(hereinafter “Kinneman”); Jeremiah McClain ((hereinafter “McClain” and

Shamica Thomas (hereinafter “Thomas.”) These two entities and four

individuals are referred to hereinafter, collectively, as “Appellees”.

1.03. Appellant filed suit March 3, 2015 against Appellee Nationstar

Mortgage LLC seeking a judgment that Appellee had violated the terms of

the deed of trust, and had committed further violations of Civil Practices and

Remedies Code Chapter 12, Texas Property Code 51.0075(e) and

51.0001(3) and 51.0025, Texas Local Government Code 192.007. Appellant

sought a declaration that the substitute trustee’s deed executed June 13, 2011

was void.

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 1 1.04. On April 3, 2014 Appellant amended her petition to add Appellees

Auction.com, Jeremiah McClain, Pamela Cirkiel, Shamica Thomas and

Helen G. Kinneman as defendants. Appellant sought judgment that the

additional defendants had committed similar violations as those committed

by Nationstar and in addition committed business disparagement

(Auction.com), tortuous interference with contract (Cirkiel, Thomas and

McClain) and sought a declaration that the June 13, 2011 substitute trustee’s

deed was void.

1.05. On August 29, 2014, Appellee Nationstar Mortgage filed its

traditional and no-evidence motion for summary judgment, followed by a

response by Appellant and Reply by Appellee.

1.06. On October 7, 2014, the Court heard argument by counsel for

Nationstar and Clare Trevarthen, and invited additional briefing.

1.07. Clare Trevarthen’s counsel filed a sur-reply on October 7. Nationstar

filed no additional briefing.

1.08. On November 10, 2014 the trial court issued its order granting

summary judgment.

1.09. On December 3, 2014 Appellant filed her notice of appeal with the

trial court.

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 2

Statement Regarding Oral Argument

2.01. Appellant believes that this brief and record adequately presents the

facts and legal arguments involved in this appeal and that oral argument

would not aid the decisional process significantly. See TEX. R. APP. P. 39.1.

Should the Court conclude that oral argument would be helpful, however,

Appellant stands ready and requests the opportunity to participate.

Issues Presented

3.01. Did District Court #26 properly grant a no-evidence and traditional

motion for summary judgment on all claims regarding a void foreclosure

when genuine issues of material fact were disputed, including, but not

limited to, the identity of the owner of the Note and Deed of Trust and the

identity of the mortgage servicer?

Facts

4.01. Clare Trevarthen purchased the property from the previous owner on

December 27, 2006. In order to finance the purchase, Clare Trevarthen

executed an interest-only Adjustable Rate Note in the original principal

amount of $136,000.00 (the “Note”). The Lender on the Note was Meridias

Capital, Inc., a Nevada Corporation. See Clerk’s Record at 548-552; 372-

382. See also Appendix 1, Court record, Declaration of Kristen Trompisz in

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 3 support of Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Locke Lord on behalf of

Nationstar (as successor in the entirety to Aurora Loan Services LLC) in 11-

603-C368 in the Williamson County 368th District Court on November 5,

2013.1, 2

4.02. What happened next is unclear. That lack of clarity around material

facts concerning the payments made, and the identity of parties entitled to

enforce the Note and its associated Security Interest Lien makes summary

judgment inappropriate.

4.03. Despite the confusion, Clare Trevarthen worked hard to clarify the

situation repeatedly, by sending letters, including sending qualified written

requests to various attorneys and entities that at different times held

themselves out to be holders of rights in the Note. A modification

agreement was reached, and at least 17 payments were made under that

agreement, though apparently Appellees lost more than a dozen of those

payments – payments for which Clare Trevarthen has receipts, which she

presented to the Court. See Clerk’s Record 661-679, 682.

4.04. These facts are not controverted.

1 The versions vary only in their endorsements or lack of same. 2 The Court is requested, pursuant to T.R.E. 201(d) to take judicial notice of the excerpt from the prior case, not for the truth of the matter asserted, but for the fact that it was asserted. (“A Court shall take judicial notice if requested by a party and supplied with the necessary information.”)

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 4 4.05. The confusion about who owned what when is evidenced in the

attachments to the motion for summary judgment and in the transcript of the

Motion for Summary Judgment hearing. See Reporter’s Record at 18-31.

See also Clerk’s Records at 544-691.

4.06. There appear to be at least three (3) “tracks” purporting to show

transfers of rights in the Note and Deed of Trust, each of which is supported

by different and mutually inconsistent documents in the Williamson County

Records, in claims and admissions by alleged agents of alleged holders of

rights, by the MERS system records, and by the alleged copy of the Note

produced with the Motion for Summary Judgment, which is inconsistent in

turn with the alleged copy of the Note produced by the same parties in

previous litigation in the same courthouse (though a different District

Court.)

4.07. Track #1 - MERS

4.08. According to MERS, as documented in its milestone report, the

changes went as follows:

4.09. On 12-28-2006, Meridias Capital registered the loan.

4.010. On 2-14-2007, Meridias Capital transferred the “beneficial rights” and

designated Aurora Loan Services LLC as the “new investor.”

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 5 4.011. On 6-18-2007, Meridias Capital transferred the “flow servicing

rights” and designated Aurora Loan Services FSB as the “new servicer,” and

Aurora Loan Services LLC as the “new subservicer.”

4.012. On 6-21-2007, Aurora Loan Services LLC transferred the “flow

servicing rights” and designated Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. as the “new

servicer,” effective 6-20-2007.

4.013. On 7-2-2007, Aurora Loan Services LLC transferred the “beneficial

rights” and designated Bank of America, National Association as trustee as

the “new investor.”

4.014. On 10-15-2007 UBS Warburg Real Estate Securities Inc., designated

as “warehouse” “release[d] the interim funder interests.”

4.015. On 12-10-2008, Aurora Loan Services LLC transferred the

“beneficial rights” and designated ALS- Wilmington Trust Co as the “new

investor.”

4.016. On 6-3-2011, Aurora Loan Services LLC transferred the “seasoned

servicing rights” from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. to Aurora Loan

Services LLC.

4.017. On 6-8-2011, Aurora Loan Services LLC reported that the

foreclosure was complete as of 6-6-2011.

4.018. On 2-9-2012, Aurora Loan Services LLC reversed the foreclosure.

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 6 4.019. Also on 2-9-2012, Aurora Loan Services LLC reported that the new

subservicer was Aurora Bank FSB.

4.020. Also on 2-9-2012, Aurora Bank FSB reported that the foreclosure

was complete as of 6-7-2011.

4.021. Even if all these allegations by MERS were consistent with the

available other records (and they aren’t), this trail at the very least raises the

question of who foreclosed and when – and, of course, whether the party that

conducted the foreclosure was empowered to do so.

4.022. Track #2 – Communication from Parties claiming the Note

4.023. This track begins, of course, with the Note itself, which was made

out to Meridias Capital Inc.

4.024. This track quickly diverges from the MERS track, as it introduces

Florez Consulting Company as the party that assigns the Meridias Capital

servicing rights from itself (which it never had) to Aurora Loan Services on

2-16-2007. See Clerk’s Record at 387.

4.025. On 12-15-2008, Michael J. Schroeder, P.C. claims that there are two

Aurora Loan Services entities with interests in the Note – one is the owner

and holder and the other is the servicer.

4.026. On July 26, 2010, Aurora LLC claims to be a debt collector, and states

that Lxs 2007-6 is the mortgagee.

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 7 4.027. By September 13, 2010, Michael J. Schroeder, P.C. claims that

Aurora LLC is a mortgage servicer for MERS, that the other Aurora entity is

the owner and holder, and that Michael J. Schroeder, P.C. is the substitute

trustee.

4.028. Fifteen days later, on September 28, 2010, in a letter responding to a

QWR (Qualified Written Request, an information request letter authorized

under federal lending laws) to Aurora, Kahrl Wutscher LLP identifies the

owner of the Note as LaSalle Bank National Assoc. as Trustee, and states

that Aurora Loan Services FSB is the loan servicer, master servicer and/or

sub-servicer of the loan.

4.029. Then, on 4-18-2011, another QWR response letter tells us that the

owner of the debt is Wilmington Trust Company, in trust for Lehman XS

Trsut Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-6, an entity that is

never mentioned or explained before or after. Moreover, there is no

explanation for how Lehman XS Trsut Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,

Series 2007-6 acquired the Note, or who they acquired the Note from.

4.030. Instead of an explanation, we get an announcement in the form of the

notice of substitute trustee’s sale that Aurora Loan Services, LLC is the

servicer and ALS Inc. in the mortgagee on 5-3-2011. No explanation of how

the Note was transferred to Aurora LLC from Wilmington or Lehman.

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 8 4.031. More confusion follows on the trustee’s deed, which claims that the

Aurora entities have switched positions, and the LLC is now the mortgagee,

and the purchaser at foreclosure.

4.032. On July 6, 2011, a month after the foreclosure, in a letter to Clare

Trevarthen, Aurora Loan Services claims it was transferring the Note to

Aurora Bank FSB effective July 21, 2011. See Clerk’s Record at 389-390.

4.033. Of course, if there is a Note to transfer, that necessarily concedes the

continuing existence of the loan, which requires that the foreclosure not have

taken place, because the price recorded on the foreclosure, $157,110.55, was

equivalent to the whole amount claimed on the Note at the time.

4.034. On June 15, 2012, more than a year after the alleged foreclosure

(which would have fulfilled and cancelled the Note, had it actually

occurred), Aurora Bank FSB notified Clare Trevarthen that it was

transferring the servicing rights on the “satisfied” loan to Nationstar

Mortgage. No mention was made in that letter of the satisfaction of the Note

or of any foreclosure. See Clerk’s Record at 392.

4.035. Of course, if there are servicing rights to transfer, that necessarily

concedes the continuing existence of the loan, which requires that the

foreclosure not have taken place, because the price recorded on the

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 9 foreclosure, $157,110.55, was equivalent to the whole amount claimed on

the Note at the time.

4.036. Track #3 – Williamson County Public Records

4.037. This track begins not with the Note itself, which was made out to

Meridias Capital Inc., but with the Deed of Trust which was recorded shortly

after the contemporaneous execution of the Note, 12-29-2006. See Clerk’s

Record at 437-466.

4.038. The Williamson County records, unlike the MERS and private

correspondence records, show no change until the March 31, 2011

recordation of a MERS assignment of Meridias Capital’s interest to Aurora

Loan Services LLC. See Clerk’s Record at 468-469.

4.039. However, the May 3, 2011 Notice of Trustee’s Sale states that

Aurora Loan Services LLC is merely the mortgage servicer, and that Aurora

Loan Services (presumably the Inc.) is the mortgagee. Since the names are

different, repeatedly on the document, it must be assumed that the entities

are also different. The Notice, then, shows some evidence of transfer of

ownership between the recorded assignment and the date of the Trustee’s

Sale.

4.040. This matters because Texas Property Code §51.007 and 51.0001(3)

require that the mortgage servicer who sells of behalf of the mortgagee have

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 10 a notice sent to the mortgagor by the CURRENT mortgagee before the

mortgage servicer can foreclose. If the identity of the CURRENT

mortgagee changes, the power to foreclose evaporates until the new notice is

sent to the mortgagor.

4.041. The public policy purpose obviously is to prevent the chaos and

confusion that this case showcases.

4.042. On June 7, 2011, according the Substitute Trustee’s Deed, Aurora

LLC foreclosed and bought the property itself at auction. The Trustee’s

Deed is unreliable, however, as it state, among other inaccuracies, that the

original Note was “payable to the order of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC

REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., ACTING SOLELY AS NOMINEE

FOR NEVADA CORPORATION,” a clearly erroneous statement. See

Clerk’s Record at 471-474. Compare Clerk’s Record at 548-552; 372-382.

See also Appendix 1, Court record, Declaration of Kristen Trompisz in

support of Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Locke Lord on behalf of

Nationstar (as successor in the entirety to Aurora Loan Services LLC) in 11-

603-C368 in the Williamson County 368th District Court on November 5,

2013. All three versions of the Note3 state that the Note is payable to the

order of Meridias Capital, Inc. MERS is not mentioned at all in any version

3 The versions vary only in their endorsements or lack of same.

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 11 of the Note, and there is no record anywhere of any payment due to, or made

to, MERS in the entire history of the payments and demands on this Note.

4.043. Track #4 – The Note

4.044. This track begins, of course, with the Note itself, which was made

out to Meridias Capital Inc.

4.045. The original note was of course unendorsed.

4.046. The version of the note produced in 2013 in conjunction with the

MSJ was also unendorsed, though it had an unsigned stamp suggesting that

it might be endorsed by Meridias Capital Inc. at some future time.

4.047. The version of the Note attached to this MSJ is endorsed in blank on

the Meridias Capital stamp by a person previously undisclosed, who is

identified as “AVP.”

4.048. Interestingly, Notes produced previously in response to QWRs in

prior litigation are different from any of these three. The Note produced by

by defendants in the prior litigation includes an allonge claiming that

Calleane Wakefield of Meridias Capital specifically endorsed to Lehman

Bros FSB. See Exhibit 1 attached. This is referred to on the Response to the

MSJ, p. 11. See Clerk’s Record at 492. This is deliberately omitted because

it conflicts with the forged and later-added endorsement by the same

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 12

Calleane Wakefield of Meridias Capital, which was absent from the 2013

Motion for Summary Judgment.

4.049. The allonge is not attached to the version presented with this MSJ.

Trevarthen’s counsel objected to the admission of the incomplete Note at the

Summary Judgment hearing. The Court admitted the document over that

objection, without explanation or testimony explaining the incomplete

document. See Reporter’s Record at 10-12.

ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

District Court #26 granted a summary judgment motion improperly in

the face of disputed material questions of fact, including the identity of

the owner and holder of the Note and Deed of Trust and the identity of

the “mortgage servicer” entitled to enforce under Texas Property Code

Chapter 51.

5.01. A recent Texas Supreme Court case laid out the standard for review of

grants of summary judgment motions.

We review a grant of summary judgment de novo. Exxon Corp. v. Emerald Oil & Gas Co., L.C., 331 S.W.3d 419, 422 (Tex. 2010). When the trial court does not specify the grounds for its ruling, a summary judgment will be affirmed if any of the grounds advanced by the motion are meritorious. FM Props. Operating Co. v. City of Austin, 22 S.W.3d 868, 872-73 (Tex. 2000). A party moving for traditional summary judgment has the burden to prove that there is no genuine issue of material fact and it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. TEX. R.

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 13

CIV. P. 166a(c); Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp Advisors, Inc. v. Fielding, 289 S.W.3d 844, 848 (Tex. 2009). The non-movant has no burden to respond to or present evidence regarding the motion until the movant has carried its burden to conclusively establish the cause of action or defense on which its motion is based. M.D. Anderson Hosp. & Tumor Inst. v. Willrich, 28 S.W.3d 22, 23 (Tex. 2000) (per curiam).

State v. Ninety Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Five Dollars & No Cents in U.S. Currency ($90,235), 2013 Tex. LEXIS 67, 8-9 (Tex. 2013) 5.02. The no-evidence standard is slightly different.

Because King Ranch's summary judgment motion was, in part, a no-evidence motion, we consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-movant. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Rodriguez, 92 S.W.3d 502, 506, 46 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 21 (Tex. 2002); Johnson v. Brewer & Pritchard, P.C., 73 S.W.3d 193, 208, 45 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 470 (Tex. 2002). A no-evidence summary judgment is essentially a pretrial directed verdict, and we apply the same legal sufficiency standard in reviewing a no- evidence summary judgment as we apply in reviewing a directed verdict. See, e.g., Valero Mktg. & Supply Co. v. Kalama Int'l, 51 S.W.3d 345, 350 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.); Blackburn v. Columbia Med. Ctr. Of Arlington Subsidiary, 58 S.W.3d 263, 270 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth 2001, pet. denied); Mansfield v. C.V. Bent Tree Apartment, L.P., 37 S.W.3d 145, 149 (Tex. App.-Austin 2001, no pet.); Espalin v. Children's Med. Ctr., 27 S.W.3d 675, 683 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2000, no pet.); Barraza v. Eureka Co., 25 S.W.3d 225, 231 (Tex. App.-El Paso 2000, pet. denied); Moore v. K Mart Corp., 981 S.W.2d 266, 269 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1998, pet. denied). Accordingly, we review the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-movant, disregarding all contrary evidence and inferences. Merrell Dow Pharms., Inc. v. Havner, 953 S.W.2d 706, 711, 40 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 846 (Tex. 1997). "A no evidence point will be sustained when (a) there is a complete absence of evidence of a vital fact, (b) the court is barred by rules of law or of evidence from giving weight to the only

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 14

evidence offered to prove a vital fact, (c) the evidence offered to prove a vital fact is no more than a mere scintilla, or (d) the evidence conclusively establishes the opposite of the vital fact." Id. (citing Robert W. Calvert, "No Evidence" and "Insufficient Evidence" Points of Error, 38 TEX. L. REV. 361, 362-63 (1960)). Thus, a no-evidence summary judgment is improperly granted if the respondent brings forth more than a scintilla of probative evidence to raise a genuine issue of material fact. TEX. R. CIV. P. 166a(i); Wal-Mart, 92 S.W.3d at 506. Less than a scintilla of evidence exists when the evidence is "so weak as to do no more than create a mere surmise or suspicion" of a fact. Kindred v. Con/Chem, Inc., 650 S.W.2d 61, 63, 26 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 383 (Tex. 1983). More than a scintilla of evidence exists when the evidence "rises to a level that would enable reasonable and fair-minded people to differ in their conclusions." Merrell Dow Pharms., 953 S.W.2d at 711.

King Ranch, Inc. v. Chapman, 118 S.W.3d 742, 750-751 (Tex. 2003)

5.03. Additionally, a no-evidence challenge must be specific about what

areas there is no evidence for.

"A no-evidence challenge that only generally challenges the sufficiency of the non-movant's case and fails to state specific elements is fundamentally defective and insufficient to support summary judgment as a matter of law." Mott v. Red's Safe & Lock Servs., Inc., 249 S.W.3d 90, 98 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2007, no pet.). However, the homeowners did not bring any defect in the motion to the attention of the trial court and, more importantly, do not claim on appeal that the motion failed to comply with the specificity requirement. Roehrs v. FSI Holdings, Inc., 246 S.W.3d 796, 805 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2008, pet. denied) (noting that defect in no evidence motion for summary judgment may be raised for first time on appeal, but declining to consider issue where parties did not raise defect before appellate court); cf. Kahng v. Verity, No. 01-07-00695- CV, 2008 Tex. App. LEXIS 5775, 2008 WL 2930195 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] July 31, 2008, no pet.) (assuming without deciding that complaint that no-evidence summary

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 15 judgment was facially defective was preserved for review).

Martin v. New Century Mortg. Co., 377 S.W.3d 79, 85 (Tex. App. Houston 1st Dist. 2012)

5.04. In this grant of summary judgment, the primary question is “did

Aurora Loan Services, LLC have the power to foreclose on July 7, 2011?”

A second, important question, on which the sole witness for Nationstar

Mortgage, Kristen Trompisz apparently perjured herself,4 is what is the

relationship between Aurora and Nationstar, and does Nationstar actually

have any rights in this property at all.

5.05. In order to answer that question, the Court must discern who owned

the Note on that date, who held the Note on that date, to whom the Deed of

Trust was assigned, and, if Aurora claimed to foreclose through a “mortgage

servicer” power under Texas Property Code § 51.007, was Aurora a party

properly endowed with that power on that date by the owner and holder of

the Note?

5.06. The answer to all those questions is no, and there is “more than a

scintilla of probative evidence to raise a genuine issue of material fact.”

4 The most generous explanation for her conflicting testimony is that she is horribly confused about the most basic facts about her employer. In any event, the testimony in her two affidavits about this property and these companies, given less than a year apart, and presented by the same lawyers and the same law firm absolutely conflicts. Given the unreliability of the conflicting statements, and the lack of explanation for those conflicts, the testimony of this witness of this vital point must be disregarded.

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 16 5.07. There is, admittedly, some evidence in each direction, and it is

possible that at a bench trial or a jury trial, a fact-finder might conceivably

weigh the evidence and decide as the trial court did. But that is not the

function of a motion for summary judgment. A motion for summary

judgment is for deciding cases where there are no disputed material facts. It

is impossible to review the evidence before the trial court, including the

many various and contradictory admissions by parties other than the Plaintiff

claiming to have rights and interests and the power to transfer rights and

interests, and find that there is no question of the material facts.

5.08. Even the attorney for Nationstar Mortgage could not be certain at the

hearing which entity was which – in no small part because three entities are

named Aurora – Aurora Loan Services Inc, Aurora Loan Services LLC, and

Aurora Bank FSB. See Reporter’s Record at 13, line 23 to 14, line 6.

5.09. In summary, there is more than sufficient evidence attached to the

response to the motion for summary judgment to raise a scintilla of

evidence, and that evidence in the form of an affidavit from Defendant’s

primary witness is utterly unreliable and must be discarded. In fact, the

evidence produced by Defendants alone creates salient fact issues, as the two

notices of transfer of the rights in the Note after the alleged foreclosure date

indicate that neither Aurora FSB or LLC nor Nationstar believed that there

Trevarthen Brief of Appellant p. 17 had been a foreclosure, as such a foreclosure would have extinguished the

Note, and there would have been no servicing rights in the Note to transfer.

In view of these facts, it was clear error for the trial court to grant summary

judgment.

PRAYER

Appellant Trevarthen respectfully requests that, as disputed issues of material fact remain to be resolved, this Court reverse the no-evidence and traditional summary judgment of the District Court in all things and remand for further action consistent with its opinion.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,

MIN: 100256014000672964 Loan Number: REDACTED 7296 ADJUSTABLE RATE NOTE (LIBOR Six-Month Index (As Published In The Wall Street Journal)-Rate Caps)

THIS NOTE CONTAINS PROVISIONS ALLOWING FOR CHANGES IN MY INTEREST RATE AND MY MONTHLY PAYMENT. THIS NOTE LIMITS THE AMOUNT MY INTEREST RATE CAN CHANGE AT ANY ONE TIME AND THE MAXIMUM RATE I MUST PAY.

DECEMBER 27, 2006 SALT LAKE CITY UTAH [Date] [City] [State]

1202 MAHOGANY LANE, CEDAR PARK, TEXAS 78613 [Property Address]

1. BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay U.S. $ 136,000.00 (this amount is called "Principal"), plus interest, to the order of Lender. Lender is MER I D IAS CAPITAL , INC . , A NEVADA CORPORATION I will make all payments under this Note in the form of cash, check or money order.

I understand that Lender may transfer this Note. Lender or anyone who takes this Note by transfer and who is entitled to receive payments under this Note is called the "Note Holder."

2. INTEREST Interest will be charged on unpaid principal until the full amount of Principal has been paid. I will pay interest at a yearly rate of 7.250 %. The interest rate I will pay may change in accordance with Section 4 of this Note.

The interest rate required by this Section 2 and Section 4 of this Note is the rate I will pay both before and after any default described in Section 7(B) of this Note.

3. PAYMENTS (A) Time and Place of Payments I will pay principal and interest by making a payment every month. I will make my monthly payments on the 1st day of each month beginning on FEBRUARY 1 , 2007 . I will make these payments every month until I have paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges described below that I may owe under this Note. Each monthly payment will be applied as of its scheduled due date and will be applied to interest before Principal. If, on JANUARY 1, 2037 , I still owe amounts under this Note, I will pay those amounts in full on that date, which is called the "Maturity Date."

I will make my monthly payments at DEPT . 9664 , LOS ANGELES , CALIFORNIA 90084-9664 or at a different place if required by the Note Holder.

(B) Amount of My Initial Monthly Payments Each of my initial monthly payments will be in the amount of U.S. $ 927.76 . This amount may change. ** See attached Interest Only Note Addendum.

(C) Monthly Payment Changes Changes in my monthly payment will reflect changes in the unpaid principal of my loan and in the interest rate that I must pay. The Note Holder will determine my new interest rate and the changed amount of my monthly payment in accordance with Section 4 of this Note.

373

4. INTEREST RATE AND MONTHLY PAYMENT CHANGES (A) Change Dates The interest rate I will pay may change on the 1st day of JANUARY , 2012 , and on that day every 6th month thereafter. Each date on which my interest rate could change is called a "Change Date."

(B) The Index Beginning with the first Change Date, my interest rate will be based on an Index. The "Index" is the average of interbank offered rates for six month U.S. dollar-denominated deposits in the London market ("LIBOR"), as published in The Wall Street Journal. The most recent Index figure available as of the first business day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Change Date occurs is called the "Current Index."

If the Index is no longer available, the Note Holder will choose a new index that is based upon comparable information. The Note Holder will give me notice of this choice.

(C) Calculation of Changes Before each Change Date, the Note Holder will calculate my new interest rate by adding TWO AND 750/1000 percentage points ( 2 . 750 %) to the Current Index. The Note Holder will then round the result of this addition to the nearest one-eighth of one percentage point (0.125%). Subject to the limits stated in Section 4(D) below, this rounded amount will be my new interest rate until the next Change Date.

The Note Holder will then determine the amount of the monthly payment that would be sufficient to repay the unpaid principal that I am expected to owe at the Change Date in full on the Maturity Date at my new interest rate in substantially equal payments. The result of this calculation will be the new amount of my monthly payment.

(D) Limits on Interest Rate Changes The interest rate I am required to pay at the first Change Date will not be greater than 13 . 250 % or less than 7 . 250 %. Thereafter, my interest rate will never be increased or decreased on any single Change Date by more than TWO AND 000/1000 percentage point(s) ( 2 . 000 %) from the rate of interest I have been paying for the preceding 6 months. My interest rate will never be greater than 13.250 %.

(E) Effective Date of Changes My new interest rate will become effective on each Change Date. I will pay the amount of my new monthly payment beginning on the first monthly payment date after the Change Date until the amount of my monthly payment changes again.

(F) Notice of Changes The Note Holder will deliver or mail to me a notice of any changes in my interest rate and the amount of my monthly payment before the effective date of any change. The notice will include information required by law to be given to me and also the title and telephone number of a person who will answer any question I may have regarding the notice.

5. BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY ** See attached Prepayment Note Addendum.

I have the right to make payments of Principal at any time before they are due. A payment of Principal only is known as a "Prepayment." When I make a Prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so. I may not designate a payment as a Prepayment if I have not made all the monthly payments due under this Note.

I may make a full Prepayment or partial Prepayments without paying any Prepayment charge. The Note Holder will use my Prepayments to reduce the amount of Principal that I owe under this Note. However, the Note Holder may apply my Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepayment amount before applying my Prepayment to reduce the Principal amount of this Note. If I make a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in the due dates of my monthly payments unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes. My partial Prepayment may reduce the amount of my monthly payments after the first Change Date following my partial Prepayment. However, any reduction due to my partial Prepayment may be offset by an interest rate increase.

6. LOAN CHARGES If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already collected from me that exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the Principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. If a refund reduces Principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial Prepayment.

7. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED (A) Late Charges for Overdue Payments If the Note Holder has not received the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of 15 calendar days after the date it is due, I will pay a late charge to the Note Holder. The amount of the charge will be 5 . 0 0 0 % of my overdue payment of principal and interest. I will pay this late charge promptly but only once on each late payment.

(B) Default If I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is due, I will be in default. (C) Notice of Default If I am in default, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me that if I do not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, the Note Holder may require me to pay immediately the full amount of Principal that has not been paid and all the interest that I owe on that amount. That date must be at least 30 days after the date on which the notice is mailed to me or delivered by other means.

(D) No Waiver By Note Holder Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Note Holder does not require me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will still have the right to do so if I am in default at a later time.

(E) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will have the right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable attorneys' fees.

8. GIVING OF NOTICES Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to me under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to me at the Property Address above or at a different address if I give the Note Holder a notice of my different address.

Unless the Note Holder requires a different method, any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be given by mailing it by first class mail to the Note Holder at the address stated in Section 3(A) above or at a different address if I am given a notice of that different address.

9. OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE If more than one person signs this Note, each person is fully and personally obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note, including the promise to pay the full amount owed. Any person who is a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note is also obligated to do these things. Any person who takes over these obligations, including the obligations of a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note, is also obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each person individually or against all of us together. This means that any one of us may be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this Note.

10. WAIVERS I and any other person who has obligations under this Note waive the rights of Presentment and Notice of Dishonor. "Presentment" means the right to require the Note Holder to demand payment of amounts due. "Notice of Dishonor" means the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid.

11. UNIFORM SECURED NOTE This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions. In addition to the protections given to the Note Holder under this Note, a Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Security Deed (the "Security Instrument"), dated the same date as this Note, protects the Note Holder from possible losses that might result if I do not keep the promises that I make in this Note. That Security Instrument describes how and under what conditions I may be required to make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe under this Note. Some of those conditions read as follows:

Transfer of the Property or a Beneficial Interest in Borrower. As used in this Section 18, "Interest in the Property" means any legal or beneficial interest in the Property, including, but not limited to, those beneficial interests transferred in a bond for deed, contract for deed, installment sales contract or escrow agreement, the intent of which is the transfer of title by Borrower at a future date to a purchaser.

If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in the Property is sold or transferred (or if Borrower is not a natural person and a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred) without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by Applicable Law. Lender also shall not exercise this option if: (a) Borrower causes to be submitted to Lender information required by Lender to evaluate the intended transferee as if a new loan were being made to the transferee; and (b) Lender reasonably determines that Lender's security will not be impaired by the loan assumption and that the risk of a breach of any covenant or agreement in this Security Instrument is acceptable to Lender.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lender may charge a reasonable fee as a condition to Lender's consent to the loan assumption. Lender also may require the transferee to sign an assumption agreement that is acceptable to Lender and that obligates the transferee to keep all the promises and agreements made in the Note and in this Security Instrument. Borrower will continue to be obligated under the Note and this Security Instrument unless Lender releases Borrower in writing.

If Lender exercises the option to require immediate payment in full, Lender shall give Borrower notice of acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not less than 30 days from the date the notice is given in accordance with Section 15 within which Borrower must pay all sums secured by this Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay these sums prior to the expiration of this period, Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security Instrument without further notice or demand on Borrower.

PREPAYMENT ADDENDUM TO NOTE REDACTED Loan Number: 72 9 6

Date: DECEMBER 2 7, 2 0 0 6

Borrower(s): CLARE TREVARTHEN

THIS PREPAYMENT ADDENDUM TO NOTE (the "Addendum") is made this 2 7th day of DECEMBER, 2006 , and is incorporated into and shall be deemed to amend and supplement that certain promissory note (the "Note") made by the undersigned ("Borrower") in favor of MERIDIAS CAPITAL, INC . , A NEVADA CORPORATION

("Lender") and dated the same date as this Addendum. Repayment of the Note is secured by a Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Security Deed (the "Security Instrument") given by Borrower in favor of Lender and dated the same date as this Addendum. To the extent that the provisions of this Addendum are inconsistent with the provisions of the Note, the provisions of this Addendum shall supersede the inconsistent provisions of the Note.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. In addition to the covenants and agreements made in the Note, Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows:

Section 5 of the Note is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

5 . BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY; PREPAYMENT CHARGE I have the right to make payments of Principal at any time before they are due. A payment of Principal only is known as a "Prepayment." When I make a Prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so. I may not designate a payment as a Prepayment if I have not made all the monthly payments due under the Note.

The Note Holder will use my Prepayments to reduce the amount of Principal that I owe under the Note. However, the Note Holder may apply my Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepayment amount, before applying my Prepayment to reduce the Principal amount of the Note. If I make a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in the due dates of my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes.

If the Note contains provisions for a variable interest rate, my partial Prepayment may reduce the amount of my monthly payments after the first Change Date following my partial Prepayment. However, any reduction due to my partial Prepayment may be offset by an interest rate increase. If this Note provides for a variable interest rate or finance charge, and the interest rate or finance charge at any time exceeds the legal limit under which a Prepayment penalty is allowed, then the Note Holder's right to assess a Prepayment penalty will be determined under applicable law.

If within THIRTY - SIX ( 3 6 ) months from the date the Security Instrument is executed I make a full Prepayment or one or more partial Prepayments, and the total of all such Prepayments in any 12-month period exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the original Principal amount of the loan, I will pay a Prepayment charge in an amount equal to SIX ( 6 months' advance interest on the amount by which the total of my Prepayments within any 12-month period exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the original Principal amount of the loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, I may make a full Prepayment without paying a Prepayment charge in connection with a bona fide and arms-length sale of all or any part of, or any legal or beneficial interest in, the Property after the first 0 months of the term of the Note. The phrase "bona fide and arms-length sale" means a sale in which all of the parties involved in the transaction, including without limitation, the buyer, seller, lender, real estate agent or broker, are independent of one another and unrelated by familial or financial interests. I agree to provide the Note Holder with any and all evidence reasonably requested by the Note Holder to substantiate that the sale of the Property is bona fide and arms-length.

BY SIGNING BELOW, Borrower accepts and agrees to the terms and provisions contained in this Addendum.

UNIFORM SECURED NOTE This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions. In addition to the protections given to the Note Holder under this Note, a Mortgage, Deed of Trust or Security Deed (the "Security Instrument"), dated the same date as this Note, protects the Note Holder from possible losses that might result if I do not keep the promises that I make in this Note. That Security Instrument describes how and under what conditions I may be required to make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe under this Note. Some of those conditions read as follows:

Transfer of the Property or a Beneficial Interest in Borrower. As used in this Section 18, "Interest in the Property" means any legal or beneficial interest in the Property, including, but not limited to, those beneficial interests transferred in a bond for deed, contract for deed, installment sales contract or escrow agreement, the intent of which is the transfer of title by Borrower at a future date to a purchaser.

INTEREST-ONLY ADDENDUM TO ADJUSTABLE RATE PROMISSORY NOTE

REDACTED Loan Numbe 67296

Property Address: 1202 MAHOGANY LANE, CEDAR PARK, TEXAS 78613

THIS ADDENDUM is made this 27th day of DECEMBER 2006 , and is incorporated into and intended to form a part of the Adjustable Rate Note (the "Note") dated the same date as this Addendum executed by the undersigned and payable to MERIDIAS CAPITAL, INC . , A NEVADA CORPORATION (the Lender).

THIS ADDENDUM supersedes Sections 3(A), 3(B), 4(C) and 7(A) of the Note. None of the other provisions of the Note are changed by this Addendum.

3. PAYMENTS (A) Time and Place of Payments I will pay interest by making payments every month for the first 120 payments (the "Interest-Only Period")

in the amount sufficient to pay interest as it accrues. I will pay principal and interest by making payments every month thereafter for the next 240 payments in an amount sufficient to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance of the Note at the end of the Interest-Only Period over the remaining term of the Note in equal monthly payments.

I will make my monthly payments on the first day of each month beginning on FEBRUARY 1, 2007 .

I will make these payments every month until I have paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges described below that I may owe under this Note. Each monthly payment will be applied as of its scheduled due date and will be applied to interest before principal. If, on JANUARY 1, 2037 , I still owe amounts under this Note, I will pay those amounts in full on that date, which is called the "Maturity Date."

I will make my payments at DEPT . 9664 , LOS ANGELES , CALIFORNIA 90084 -9664 , or at a different place if required by the Note Holder.

(B) Amount of My Initial Monthly Payments Each of my initial monthly payments will be in the amount of U.S. $ 821. 67 . This payment amount is based on the original principal balance of the Note. This payment amount may change.

4. INTEREST RATE AND MONTHLY PAYMENT CHANGES (C) Calculation of Changes Before each Change Date, the Note Holder will calculate my new interest rate by adding TWO AND 750/1000 percentage point(s) ( 2 . 750 %) to the Current Index for such Change Date. The Note Holder will then round the result of this addition to the nearest one-eighth of one percentage point (0.125%). Subject to the limits stated in Section 4(D), this rounded amount will be my new interest rate until the next Change Date.

During the Interest-Only Period, the Note Holder will then determine the amount of the monthly payment that would be sufficient to repay accrued interest. This will be the amount of my monthly payment until the earlier of the next Change Date or the end of the Interest-Only Period unless I make a voluntary prepayment of principal during such period. If I make a voluntary prepayment of principal during the Interest-Only Period, my payment amount for subsequent payments will be reduced to the amount necessary to pay interest at the then current interest rate on the lower principal balance. At the end of the Interest-Only Period and on each Change Date thereafter, the

382

Note Holder will determine the amount of the monthly payment that would be sufficient to repay in full the unpaid principal that I am expected to owe at the end of the Interest-Only Period or Change Date, as applicable, in equal monthly payments over the remaining term of the Note. The result of this calculation will be the new amount of my monthly payment. After the end of the Interest-Only Period, my payment amount will not be reduced due to voluntary prepayments.

7. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED (A) Late Charge for Overdue Payments If the Note Holder has not received the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of 15 calendar days after the date it is due, I will pay a late charge to the Note Holder. The amount of the charge will be 5 . 0 0 0 % of my overdue payment of interest during the Interest-Only Period, 5 . 0 0 0 % of my overdue payment of principal and interest thereafter. I will pay this late charge promptly but only once on each late payment.

1 And, finally, we do have objections that we

2 filed, your Honor, in response -- regarding plaintiff’s

3 response. Plaintiff attached 20 some-odd exhibits to their

4 response as well as three verifications by the plaintiff. But

5 the exhibits attached are not referenced in any of the

6 verifications, and there is no authentication to prove these

7 exhibits up. So, our objection, your Honor, is that the Court

8 strike all the exhibits which have not been properly

9 authenticated that were attached to plaintiff’s response.

10 That was in Tab 4, the last Tab 4, in our motion in the

11 notebook today. There’s a copy of those objections.

12 Thank you, your Honor.

13 THE COURT: Thank you.

14 Mr. Rogers.

15 MR. ROGERS: Your Honor, is there some evidence?

16 The demonstrative exhibits that the Court has here in front of

17 it show that there is some evidence. These are arranged

18 chronologically. There’s a key here at the top to tell you

19 who is who because, frankly, you can’t tell the players in

20 this case without a scorecard.

21 The first thing that Mr. Ennis (sic) said was

22 that the borrower sued the lender, while later he said the

23 lender was Meridias Capital. Meridias Capital is not a party

24 to this lawsuit, your Honor. And keeping track of who is who

25 is the fundamental problem that my client has had all along

19

1 because in her effort to get a modification where she sent

2 many, many payments, evidence of which is included in the

3 records specifically testified to in her verification -- her

4 declaration, unlike what you might gather from reading the

5 response -- "Trevarthen only made three payments." Well,

6 we’ve got evidence there that during the modification period

7 she made at least 17 payments.

8 Was she in default? I would say that there is a

9 fact question there. Certainly there is far more evidence of

10 payment introduced than has been acknowledged by Nationstar

11 which brings me to another question. Who is Nationstar? And

12 what is their interest in the property? I thought I knew the

13 answer to that question, your Honor. The reason that I

14 thought I knew the answer to that question was that in a prior

15 case we had a declaration by the same woman who has made a

16 declaration in this case. And that declaration was very

17 definitive.

18 MR. ELLIS: Your Honor, just to be clear, the

19 documents he’s referring to in the response are -- this

20 document is one of the many that is not properly

21 authenticated. That’s part of our objection.

22 MR. ROGERS: Your Honor, if for some reason the

23 Court doesn’t want to take notice of what we’ve got attached

24 to our response, we would ask that the Court take judicial

25 notice of the declaration attached to their prior motion for

20

1 summary judgment in the 368th District Court last October,

2 your Honor. We are just bringing that declaration to the

3 Court’s attention. We’ve got that attached to our response as

4 Exhibit X. That declaration of Kristen Trompisz,

5 T-r-o-m-p-i-s-z, and it’s Kristen, K-r-i-s-t-e-n, says in

6 Paragraph 3, "On June 29, 2012, Aurora Loan Services, LLC, was

7 acquired by Nationstar Mortgage, LLC." It seems very clear.

8 All of the rights and liabilities of Aurora,

9 LLC, were acquired by Nationstar on June 29, 2012. Based on

10 that in large part, we dismissed our prior lawsuit because

11 Nationstar wasn’t a defendant in the prior lawsuit, and we

12 thought, okay, we’ve got to figure out what these

13 relationships are, you know, who, you know -- we’ve got to

14 name Nationstar, all of our claims now that we had against

15 Aurora would be good against Nationstar because Nationstar

16 acquired all the rights and responsibilities.

17 MR. ELLIS: Objection, your Honor. I’m just --

18 make sure I’m reading from the same document. It says -- are

19 we reading at Paragraph 8?

20 MR. ROGERS: Exhibit X, Paragraph 3.

21 MR. ELLIS: Paragraph 3. Just for rules of

22 optional completeness, that paragraph states on June 29, 2012,

23 Aurora Loan Services, LLC, was acquired by Nationstar

24 Mortgage, LLC, end paragraph.

25 MR. ROGERS: That’s -- that’s exactly what I

21

1 said.

2 MR. ELLIS: The rest is attorney argument.

3 MR. ROGERS: And then we get our motion for

4 summary judgment this year in this case. And the exact same

5 person swears to something materially different. Again, it’s

6 Paragraph 3, and it’s -- and it’s the first exhibit attached

7 to their motion for summary judgment. "On June 29, 2012,

8 Nationstar Mortgage, LLC, acquired a substantial amount of

9 Aurora Loan Services, LLC’s, assets, including the servicing

10 rights to the loan." Your Honor, that’s the difference

11 between saying, "I bought the restaurant" and "I bought a

12 hamburger."

13 We don’t know suddenly, because this woman

14 changed her testimony a year later, what the relationship

15 between Aurora and Nationstar is. We would like to be granted

16 an opportunity to engage in discovery to find out which

17 statement, if either, is true. But it’s clear they can’t both

18 be true. Either Nationstar bought all of Aurora or Nationstar

19 bought part of Aurora. But they can’t buy all of it and just

20 buy part of it. It’s a hamburger, or it’s the whole

21 restaurant. So, essentially, your Honor, one or the other of

22 those declarations is perjured. And we would ask that the

23 entire declaration be thrown out. And once that declaration

24 is thrown out, then they’ve got no evidence.

25 At the beginning of this process in 2006, Ms.

1 Trevarthen -- Mrs. Trevarthen took out an interest-only note

2 for $136,000.00 from Meridias Capital. And one of the things

3 that we got from the other side in the prior litigation was a

4 MERS Milestone Report. MERS was a defendant in the prior

5 litigation. We asked them to produce that. "What is it that

6 you show happened to the note and the debt and the debt and

7 the deed of trust over time?"

8 And it turns out that what MERS believes

9 happened and what is reflected by the letters to my client and

10 by the public record are not the same. Everyone agrees that

11 there was a note and deed of trust that was signed on or about

12 December 28, 2006. Now, the MERS system shows that there was

13 a registration there, Meridias Capital, same day. Seems fine

14 so far. And then there’s a transfer of beneficial rights from

15 MERS to what we’ve designated as ALS Number 1 which is Aurora

16 Loan Services, LLC. At that point Aurora Loan Services, LLC,

17 is designated as the investor or common parlance, the owner of

18 the note and deed of trust. So far, so good.

19 Our client gets a notice of an assignment of

20 sale and servicing rights, and this is included as our Exhibit

21 P, but it’s also included in their exhibits, that says that

22 Florez Consulting Company has transferred the servicing rights

23 to Aurora Loan Services. Whether it’s Aurora Loan Services,

24 Inc., or Aurora Loan Services, LLC, or Aurora Loan Services

25 FSB, we don’t know. It’s not clearing in the document.

1 But what is mystifying is: Who is Florez

2 Consulting Company? And where did they get any rights to

3 transfer anything to ALS? There’s no evidence anywhere in the

4 record that these people even had any rights to transfer to

5 ALS. Florez Consulting Company is not Meridias Capital. So

6 this first transfer here of servicing rights may be a bogus

7 transfer, and it doesn’t involve MERS at all.

8 Then MERS says there’s a transfer of the flow

9 servicing rights, whatever those are, from Meridias Capital to

10 Aurora Bank, FSB. Okay. So the beneficial rights and the

11 flow servicing rights are transferred to two different

12 entities according to MERS.

13 But, also, it says in the MERS document that

14 Aurora Bank, FSB, is the servicer and that Aurora Loan

15 Services, LLC, is the subservicer. And then, according to

16 MERS, the next document, -- and we’ve got this bracketed

17 because they’re connected. It’s a transfer of the same item.

18 -- there’s a transfer of flow servicing rights from Aurora

19 Loan Services, LLC. Well, wait a minute. Aurora, FSB, is the

20 party that has those rights according to the prior MERS

21 document. But now somebody who doesn’t have the rights is

22 transferring them to Lehman Brothers Holding. And Lehman

23 Brothers Holding is the servicer.

24 Okay. Then there’s a transfer of beneficial

25 rights. Now, last time we checked, the beneficial rights were

24

1 in Aurora Loan Servicing, LLC. They’re transferred by them to

2 Bank of America as trustee. Bank of America, as trustee, is

3 designated as the investor, again, according to the MERS

4 document.

5 Then there is a release of interim funder

6 interest by UBS Warburg, the New York Investment Bank. Not

7 clear where they came in, but they’ve released whatever they

8 had. And then this beneficial rights which was in the hands

9 of B of A here is transferred by ALS again. Wait a minute.

10 They already gave away all their rights, but now they’re

11 transferring rights they don’t have to Wilmington Trust

12 Company. Again, these are all admitted by MERS in their

13 Milestone report.

14 All this green stuff is invisible to my client

15 and invisible to the outside world. This is MERS. This is

16 the black box. Nobody in the outside world knows about that.

17 What we know about is the letters and the things that are in

18 the public record.

19 So my client gets a letter December 15, 2008,

20 from Michael J. Schroeder, P.C. He claims in that letter that

21 Aurora Loan Services is the servicer, and Aurora Loan

22 Services, LLC, is the owner and the holder, identifies one as

23 the LLC, one as Aurora Loan Services, obviously some different

24 company, probably Aurora Loan Services, Inc., but maybe he

25 means Aurora, FSB. We don’t know. And that confusion

25

1 continues throughout the whole train of this -- of this loan.

2 Okay. And then a few months later my client

3 gets a letter, notice of default, from Aurora Loan Services.

4 Doesn’t say if it’s LLC or INC or FSB. And this claims now

5 that Aurora Loan Services which was the servicer previously is

6 now the debt collector and that LXS 20007-6 is the mortgagee.

7 No indication of a transfer to LXS 2007-6.

8 We get a letter notice of trustee sale, again,

9 from Mr. Schroeder. He identifies the same to ALS entities as

10 servicer and owner and holder that he identified before which

11 is different than who ALS described as the mortgagee in the

12 letter two months prior.

13 Two weeks later in response to a qualified

14 written request which is a letter that’s authorized under

15 Federal statutes to enable borrowers to find out from lenders

16 and servicers, "What’s going on with my loan? Who owns it?

17 Who do I have to pay? What’s going on?" because, obviously,

18 my client having received these letters, doesn’t know who’s

19 who. She knows that’s inconsistent, so she gets a response to

20 the QWR from Carl Washer, LLP. And they identify LXS 2007 as

21 the owner of the note, ALS as the servicer, master and

22 subservicer. So this is a different company than that. And

23 the owner of the note is not the one that was identified two

24 weeks prior by MJS. My client gets this QWR response, and all

25 it does is compound the confusion. At this point, I dare

26

1 anybody to tell me who the owner of the note is. Certainly

2 Aurora is making contradictory claims.

3 January of 2011, my client gets a notice of

4 default from Aurora Loan Services, LLC. In that notice of

5 default, they identify the LXS, this LXS 2007-6, as the

6 mortgagee. Okay. So now we’ve got the mortgagees going

7 Ping-Pong back and forth between ALS Number 1 and LXS and Bank

8 of America. Maybe there is a relationship between Bank of

9 America and this trust. We don’t know.

10 My client gets a notice of substitute trustee

11 sale. This is now the third notice of substitute trustee sale

12 she’s gotten from Naomi Feistel. And that says LXS isn’t the

13 mortgagee anymore. It’s Aurora Loan Services, not the LLC.

14 The LLC is the servicer. Then we get some action in the

15 public records. MERS transfers to ALS Number 1 making ALS

16 Number 1 the mortgagee. That’s the LLC.

17 Then there is an appointment of the substitute

18 trustee. For the first time, there’s an appointment of

19 substitute trustee. So all of these prior notices of trustee

20 sale were all done completely without authorization. They’re

21 completely Illegal. And these, there’s never even any attempt

22 to ratify the Schroeder letters.

23 Now, if Schroeder is Aurora’s agent, then Aurora

24 is liable for this. If Nationstar bought Aurora lock, stock,

25 and barrel, Nationstar is liable. If Nationstar bought part

27

1 of Aurora but didn’t assume their liabilities, then maybe

2 we’ve got the wrong defendant, and Nationstar is in here

3 defending somebody else. And, as your Honor is well aware, I

4 can’t defend a third party without being engaged on behalf of

5 that third party.

6 And Aurora Loan Services is not even named in

7 this suit, again, because of the prior affidavit, the prior

8 declaration from October of last year, "Aurora Loan Services

9 has been taken over in its entirety by Nationstar," which now

10 apparently isn’t true.

11 So we’ve got musical mortgagees. Finally a

12 substitute trustee is named. We get a notice of trustee sale.

13 And again the mortgagee changes. So Aurora Loan Services --

14 Aurora Loan Services, LLC, is just the servicer. So here in

15 the space of five months we get five different parties

16 claiming to be the mortgagee.

17 My client sends another QWR letter because she’s

18 confused. We get a response in May from another law firm on

19 behalf of Aurora Loan Services, LLC. Now we’ve got a trustee,

20 and the LXS Trust is the owner of the debt. The owner of the

21 debt, or, in other words, the mortgagee has now changed again.

22 This comes from the MERS report. Frankly, I

23 don’t know what "transfer of seasoned rights means," but

24 that’s what happens there. And ALS transfers the rights that

25 had previously been assigned to Lehman Brothers Holding to

28

1 itself. Lehman Brothers doesn’t transfer those rights. ALS

2 transfers it on their own. Three days later ALS, LLC,

3 forecloses on my client.

4 Now, opposing counsel says, "Well, all of this

5 is about MERS, the challenge to the MERS system." And I will

6 admit I think the MERS system doesn’t comply with Texas law.

7 We have some argument about that. The Texas Supreme Court has

8 never affirmed that it does. We have some extensive briefing

9 about choces in action and how all of that relates. We look

10 at the 2007 Daughters of Charity Case where the Supreme Court

11 says you can’t separate liens and debts. They travel

12 together.

13 But leaving that aside for the moment, let’s say

14 all of this MERS stuff is just hunky-dory. Here’s the

15 problem. We have a foreclosure on June 6th. Somebody else is

16 the mortgagee on May 10th. Someone else is the owner of the

17 debt on May 10th. Let’s assume that there is a transfer from

18 LXS on the very same day, even though it’s not reported in the

19 property records anywhere. There’s no evidence that it

20 happens, but let’s say that the owner of the debt changes

21 later on the 10th from the LXS Trust to Aurora Loan Services.

22 In order to foreclose, both the deed of trust

23 and the statute require that the foreclosing party send out

24 two notices. The minimum time required for the two notices is

25 50 days under the statute, 60 days under the deed of trust.

1 There are not 50 days or 60 days between these two dates.

2 This admission by Aurora Loan Services that

3 someone else is the owner of the debt on this date, someone

4 else who has never instructed my client to pay them, by the

5 way, and we’ve got a declaration on that -- LXS 2007-6 never

6 sent a "Pay Aurora" notice to my client. And, obviously, at

7 this point they were the current mortgagee, according to

8 Aurora Loan Services.

9 In order for Aurora to qualify under the statute

10 as a statutory mortgage servicer who is allowed to administer

11 a foreclosure on behalf of another party, the current

12 mortgagee must send a notice to the mortgagor instructing them

13 to pay the mortgage servicer. Without that, the mortgage

14 servicer cannot administer the foreclosure. Why? Because

15 with confusion like this, unless you get a notice from the

16 owner of the note, the person entitled to collect the debt,

17 you don’t know who these people are and what their

18 relationship to what’s going on is. Is Aurora, LLC, pulling a

19 fast one? Or is Aurora, FSB, pulling a fast one? Or is

20 Aurora, Inc., pulling a fast one? I think they’re all at the

21 very least -- a charitable characterization of this is they

22 are confused about who owns what and who has what rights.

23 And they admitted inside the window that Aurora

24 Loan Services, LLC, was not a party entitled to collect or the

25 party entitled to foreclose. So even if all of the MERS stuff

30

1 is perfectly fine and even if there’s an invisible MERS

2 assignment right here, they fail the test under Property Code

3 51, and the foreclosure is void.

4 There’s a substitute trustee’s deed, foreclosure

5 by Aurora Loan Services. But Aurora Loan Services now is

6 claiming to be the mortgagee. On the notice, though, it was

7 Aurora Loan Services, not Aurora Loan Services, LLC, that was

8 claiming to be the mortgagee. They can’t keep their story

9 straight. Well, your Honor, I submit that if you tell the

10 truth, you have less to remember.

11 Now, if the foreclosure actually happened, the

12 debt ceases to exist because it’s been satisfied by the

13 foreclosure. The amount on the foreclosure that was bid in

14 was $157,000.00 on a $136,000.00 note. So why does my client

15 get a welcome notice that says, "We’ve transferred your loan

16 servicing rights. Pay Aurora Loan Services, FSB. They’ll be

17 accepting payments"? On what debt exactly?

18 This is an admission by a party opponent, your

19 Honor, that this foreclosure is no good. Now, the MERS

20 internal documentation tries to catch up in February of the

21 next year. They say they completely reversed the foreclosure.

22 They updated the mortgage information, and then they completed

23 the foreclosure all in the same day. And the effect of that

24 is somehow to make Aurora, FSB, the new subservicer. But they

25 undid the foreclosure seven months later on one day. No

31

1 notice was ever sent to anybody. And then they redid the

2 foreclosure. I’m pretty sure if you’re going to do a

3 foreclosure in Texas you have to send some notices and send

4 somebody down to the courthouse and file something in the

5 public records. None of that happened.

6 Then four months later my client gets a letter

7 transferring the servicing rights, the servicing rights on the

8 note that doesn’t exist. Or maybe the note does exist because

9 the foreclosure didn’t happen. Again, your Honor, this is an

10 admission by a party opponent that the foreclosure didn’t

11 happen because if the foreclosure happened there would be no

12 loan servicing rights to transfer to Aurora, FSB.

13 And then we get this declaration from Ms.

14 Trompisz the day before Halloween last year. She says Aurora

15 Loan Servicing -- Aurora Loan Services, LLC, is Aurora Loan

16 Services and that Aurora Loan Services, LLC, was acquired in

17 its entirety by Nationstar. Ten months later she says that’s

18 not true.

19 I submit, your Honor, there is a fact issue in

20 here somewhere. And summary judgment is inappropriate. And

21 it would be inappropriate for the Court to accept the

22 declaration of someone who has shown herself to have perjured

23 herself in her declarations in this courthouse.

24 THE COURT: All right. I have a dental

25 appointment in 15 minutes, and I have to leave. If you want
