07-11-20 Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) at the Superior Court of California, County of Los
Angeles: “Volume IV Continued”

The record herein is a copy of the Court file in the caption referenced above, as received from the Office of
the Clerk on November 20, 2007. Page numbers and a footer were added to the record for ease of reference.

In October 2007, after almost two years of the pretense litigation, during which Defendant and his counsel
were denied notice and service of court minutes, orders, and judgments, and also denied access to the paper
Court file, Defendant filed and appeared in Ex Parte Application before Supervising Judge GERALD
ROSENBERG for access to the paper and electronic court files – to inspect and to copy. Judge
ROSENBERG conducted the proceeding in a dark courtroom, behind closed doors. During the proceeding he
informed Defendant that the court file included at that time six volumes, and he eventually agreed to permit
Defendant access to three of the volumes. Access to the electronic court file in SUSTAIN – the court’s case
management system - was denied under the false claim:
“Sustain is privileged – for the Court only”.
However, at the end of the proceeding, Supervising Judge Rosenberg demanded that Defendant withdraw the
Ex Parte Application, which had already been filed with the Clerk of the Court. When Defendant refused, two
armed Sheriff Deputies engaged in physical harassment of Defendant, in attempt to plant the paper on his
body, in what Defendant at the time perceived as a life-threatening incident.
The proceeding and its aftermath were also noted for the following:
1) Judge ROSENBERG failed to create any record of the proceeding.
2) Judge ROSENBERG deceived Defendant regarding the number of court file volumes held by the Court at
the time. The court file in fact held at the time seven volumes. One of them, “Volume IV Continued”
was discovered only later. It was created out of any chronological order, and included various particularly
incriminating records, including, but not limited to:
a. Large volume of records filed by Countrywide Financial Corporation, which appeared in the case
under the fraudulent party designation of “”Non Party”, while the Court interchangeably
designated it in its records “Plaintiff”, “Defendant”, “Cross –Defendant”, “Intervenor”, “Real
Parties in Interest”, and more, all with no legal foundation at all.
b. Records pertaining to a pretense Summary Judgment proceeding conducted by Judge
JACQUELINE CONNOR on August 9, 2007.
3) Defendant consequently filed a complaint with Presiding Judge J STEPHEN CZULEGER regarding
conduct of Supervising Judge ROSENBERG. Presiding Judge CZULEGER referred the complaint to
Assistant Presiding Judge CHARLES MCCOY, who in turn referred it to Supervising Judge Rosenberg
for review. Supervising Judge ROSENBERG found no basis for the complaint.
Samaan v Zernik as a whole was alleged as pretense litigation, and part of a pattern of racketeering activity at
the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
;\lEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
') I. INTRODUCTION
3 This case il1\ohes plaintiffs fraudulent attempt to purchase defendant"s home and

-l her subsequent non-performance and breach of the standard residential purchase and sale

5 agreement. The facts recently uncovered in this case reveal that plaintiff fraudulently

6 induced defendant to enter into the purchase agreement. she then fraudulently induced him

7 not to cancel th~ agr~ement atkr she failed to remove her loan and appraisal contingency in a

8 timely manner and finally she failed to remove the appraisal contingency leaving defendant

9 \\ ith no choice but to cancel the agreement. Despite plaintiff s repeated acts of fraud. she

10 now seeks to shift the blame for her non-performance to defendant. Plaintiff claims that

11 defendant \\as somehow required to sign her initial offer and that his alleged failure to do so

12 in a timely manner. unbelievably caused her to be unable to obtain a purchase money loan

13 for the property. In reality, Plaintiffs arguments fail for numerous reasons: (J) plaintiffwas

l-l not ready \\illing and able to perform her obligations under the contract: (2) plaintiff

15 fhilldulently induced defendant to enter into the contract- thereby prohibiting her from

16 prevailing on her specific performance claim and (3) the timing, authenticity, and

17 requirement of ddcndant" s initials on pages 1 though 8 of the purchase agreement created

18 material issues of disputed fact.

19 Beyond the legal arguments, this Court should not grant specific performance because

20 of the following three categories of material issues of disputed fact:

21 I. Whether ready willing and able to perform under the contract


II Whether Samaan fraudulently induced Zernik to enter into the contract

23 Whether Zernik had a right to cancel escrow on October 21. 2004.

The three categories of disputed facts listed above. are just an oveniew of the material

disputed facts. Each contains a subset of disputed facts. like whether Samaan would ever be

26 appron:d for a loan for the Property. which are set forth in more d~tail in the statement of

27 facts and the accompanying separate statement of disputed facts. This case has so many

28 dispukd facts and inconsistencies presented by Samaan that it is difficult to establish any

internal Iv consistent \ersion of the facts.

) This Court has already ackno\\ledged the difficulty in dealing \\ ith the factual issues

3 in this case in ib ruling on Defendant's motion to expunge lis pendens, \\ here it reasoned

-l­ and held. alter conducting an initial re\ ie\\ of the facts in this case that ·'there are too mam'

5 {actual issues that cannot be decided here, including whether SA JIAA X was 'reatlv,
6 willing and able' to proceed with the purchase of the propertv. " (Emphasis added). C\cal).
7 this prior ruling. indicates that the Court has already determined that. at the \ery least. there

8 arc material issues of disputed fact relating to whether Samaan \\as ready. willing and able to

9 proceed with the purchase of the Property. Samaan's moving papers present no additional

10 evidence to suggest that any of those factual disputes have been resolved in such a way to

11 allO\\ this Court. just over t\\O weeks later. to make findings contrary to its July 23.2007

12 ruling that material disputed facts exist concerning Samaan's ability to rerCorm.

J3 In addition to the disputed t~lcts that the Court has already identified regarding

14 Samaan's ability to proceed with the purchase of the Property. material disputed facts exist

15 concerning Zernik's cancellation of escrow for the property. Samaan has repeatedly asserted

J 6 that Zernik cancelled escrow on October 25. 2004. However. in her deposition she admitted

17 she received Zernik' s cancellation on October 21. 2004. 7emik cancelled escrow on

18 Octobcr.21. 2004 (not October 25. 2004) because Samaan refused to remove her

19 conting~ncies in a timely manner. Nevertheless, the parties dispute \\hether escrow was

20 cancelled on October 21. 2004 or October 25. 2004. which is a material fact in this case.

21 Before addressing the other facts in this case. it is important to understand the various

')'") documents making up the form sale agreement for the property provided by the California

23 Association of Realtors. As \\ ith any contract. the form used by the California Association

24 of Realtors is designed to create a binding contract based on mutual assent through an offer

25 and an acceptance. Indeed. the initial offer is presented by \\(lY of the form called the

26 "California Association of Realtor's Residential Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint

27 Escm\\ Instruction'· (the ··Initial Offer"). If accepted. the Initial Offer becomes the cQ.!lli~ct

/1
counter-otTer is accepted. a binding agreement is also created. There is no limit on the

") number of counta-offers. but each counter-offer presents the counter-offeree \\lth the

3 opportunity to accept. As \\ ith all other contracts, as soon as a counter offer is presented the

4 prior offer becomes null and void. or can be incorporated by reference. In any event. like

5 other contracts. there is never any obligation to sign the Initial Offer after a countcr-offer is

6 made.

7 Nevertheless. the terms statcd in the Initial Offer arc generally incorporated by

g reference through subsequent counter-offers. so they do play (] role in the transaction. The

9 terms of the initial offer are designed to spread the risks associated \\ith the purchase and

10 sale of real property amongst the varIOUS parties. Indeed. the seller is responsible for

11 delivering various disclosures and making the subject property available for inspection,

12 \\hile the buyer is responsible for removing all applicable contingencies. which often

13 includes a loan contingencv. In other \vords. the closing of escrmv is often contingent on the
...... .I ...... '"­

14 buyer being able to obtain a purchase money loan forthe property. The buyer has the option

15 to obtain a loan from the lender of her choice. Because of the loan contingency. the seller

16 bears the risk that the buyer may not be able to obtain the loan and may cancel the sale.

\7 Therefore. the contract requires the buyer to provide a pre-qualification letter within seven

1R days of acceptance of the buyer's offer and to remove the loan contingency \vithin seventeen

19 days of acceptance of the offer. During these initial \7 days. the seller is not privy to the

20 buyer's efforts to obtain a loan for the purchase of the property. Thus. even though the

2\ ability to close the entire transaction may be contingent on the buyer's ability to obtain a
T) loan. seller is kept completely in the dark on buyer's efforts and abilit J to obtain the loan.

The only reassurance the seller has is the pre-qualification letter. \\hich is required to be

24 presented to the seller in good faith.

lkn:. as is typical in such a transaction, defendant \\as \\holly un(mare of plaintiffs

26 etTorts. or lack thereoL to obtain a loan and the false nature of the pre-qualification 1ettcr she

27 presented to defendant. During escrow Plainti tT repeatedly represented that she \vas able to

8 obtain a purchase money loan for the Property. However. through recent discovery obtained

3 efforts to obtain a loan. she \\as ne\t:r approved for a loan. and had an inability to obtain a
..+ loan for the property. Plaintiff continued her fraud when she induced defendant not to cancel
5 cscnm at an earlier date by repeatedly misrepresenting that she \\ould he approved for a

7 appraisal contingency had passed. defendant iss lied a notice to rerform and ultimately

12 somehO\\ required to sign and initial the plaintiffs initial olTer which \\as incorporated by

20 1. Samaan Submitted an Initial Offer Based on :vIisrepresentations

In or ahout .July 2004. defendant Joseph Zernik C"Defendant") enten:d into a listing

plaintiff ).ii\ ie Samaan ("'Plaintiff') submitted an otTer to purchase the Property for
26 Sl.670.000. From the outset of this transaction (the presentation of this initial offer) PlaintitT
27 fraudulentl) induced Defendant to enter into an agreement to sell his house. Indeed. at the

7 Defendant did not accept Plaintiffs initial offer for many n:asons. Dd'endant was
8 primaril~ concerned about the validity of an offer from a real estate agent representing
9 hersel f. Indeed. Defendant preferred to entertain 0 tTers from potential buyers who were
10 represented by independent agents or brokers. lHnlf Oed il G t.)(hll:7lt r An offer
11 presented by an independent real estate agent or broker has the advantage of being evaluated
12 and veri lied hy a third party before being presented to Defendant. In addition. several of the
13 terms of the olTer were not at the level Defendant desired. For l'xample. PlaintitTs otTer had
1-+ a very low initial deposit of $10.000 for a purchase of 51.670.000. which represents .59
15 percent of the total purchase price, which is far below the standard 3% initial deposit. This
16 10\, initial deposit indicated that Plaintiff knew that she did not have the tinancial capability
17 to proceed with the purchase and wanted to leave herself the abilitv to back out of the
18 purchase agreement at a minimal cost.
19 2. Plaintiff Obtained a Fraudulent Pre-Qualification Letter From Her
Fiance's Cousin
20
21 Defendant expressed his concerns about Plaintiffs initial offer to Libow \,ho
!") suggestl'd that Defendant obtain a pre-qualification letter from Plaintiff. Libow maintained
23 that a prequali lication letter \Yould provide extra assurances that Plaintiff would have the
24 financial ability to purchase the Property. Therefore. on September 7. 200-+. Plaintiff
informed Libcm that "My lender should be faxing a letter about my qualification'"

Lernik belkved that Samaan had been pre-approved by an independent broker. In reality.
3 I Samaan never disclosed to lernik that Parks \vas her then tiance"s cousin. Zanik \vould also
~ discover. through Libo\\. that certain facsimile transmissions that \\ere believed to be sent to
5 Parks \\ere actually forwarded to Samaan's facsimile machine. t;~~\-:::o_~rr\t-Dt.~~~.<i:'1

6 LibO\\ even asked Parks about the t~lCsimiks that were being fraudulent diverted to
7 Samaan's personal t~lcsimile machine. only to have Parks refuse to ans\ver any questions
8 regarding those facsimiles. Additionally. throughout this entire case. there has been no
9 documentary evidence to support any claim by Parks that he reviewed Plainti ffs "\vrittcn
I0 application and credit rcport"" as he was required to do by section 2( (J) of the Purchase
II Agreement. Therefore. there is significant doubt as to \\hether Parks actually performed an
12 independent investigation as to the validity and authenticity of his prequalitication letter.
13 Surely. had Parks actually performed a valid prequalitication. he would have discovered that
14 Samaan \vould not be able to obtain a purchase money loan for lht: Propt:rty.
15 3. The Parties Exchanged Counter-Offers Nos. 1 and 2

:20 Offer No. 1 subject to the terms of Counter-Offer No.2. which she purportedly attached to
:21 her acceptance. The materially different terms of Counter
II Otfer No.2. prO\ided for an initial deposit of 515.000 with an increased deposit of an
additional $15.000 to be deposited within 14 days. However. paragraph I of Counter-Offer

Throughout the entire loan application process. Plaintiff never disclosed the problems she
)
\\ as huving obtaining a loan. Instead. she consistently represented that the Inan \vould be
6 funded. However. nothing could be further from the truth.
7 The most tLlling misrepresentations regarding the status of Samaan's loan application
8 can be set:n through a simple comparison betvvcen statements Parks made in emails to Libovv
9 versus the actual status ofSamaan's loan. as sho\\n by documents produced by Countrywide.
10 Consider the following:
I1
12
• September 28, 2004: ··the loan for Ms. Samaan begun today!! We've ordered
IJ escrow. title & appraisal and estimate tinal loan approval \\ ithin 10 days'"
14
• October 5, 2004: "We will be ready to submit for loan approval tomolTo\v"

16 • October 7, 2004: "Plcast: allow J business days for loan approval"

17 • October 8, 2004: ·· ..to notify you that Samaan loan has het:n submittt:d to the lender
today. Please allow J business days for Loan Approval.
18

19 • October IS, 2004: ..... received your message yesterday afternoon and checked
with the lender. The Samaan loan is still in underv,riting and should be approved
20
by Monday [October 18]. l"1I contact you if\ve get approval any sooner'"
2\
• October 18, 2004: "We have conditional loan approval for the Nivie Samaan loan.
We are in contact with Ms. Samaan for the borrower conditions and escrow for
some items needed from them. We should be in a position to order loan documents

so I can inform Ms. Samaan that iI's alright to release the appraisal contingency'"

3
4 The true facts regarding Samaan's loan application are vastly difkrent. Indeed, in
5 Parks' O\\n declaration he contradicts his earlier emails when he declan:d that he did not
6 submit Samaan's loan application until October 12, 200-J.. Thus, the tirst four statements
7 above were absolutely false. And, the documents produced by Countrywide contradict

8 Parks' statement that he did not submit Samaan's loan application until October 12, 2004,

9 because on October 6, 2004. Countrywide

10 Samaan based on her suspect loan application. By October 14. 2004. Samaan' sloan
11 application had been suspended until she submitted a valid loan application (for the correct
12 loan program) and she satistied approximately 14 other conditions. Thus, Parks had no
13 reason to represent to Zernik that Samaan' sloan \vas anywhere ncar approval. Indeed, in
14 Parks' declaration he states that "on Friday. October 15. I lcarned that the lender,
15 Countrywide, \vas suspending a decision on the loan..... In other words. Parks now states
]6 that he learned that the lender had suspended a decision on the loan, yet at that time he is
17 misleading 7ernik into believing the loan would be approved on October] 8. 2004. Missing
18 from these emails.prior to October 22, 2004, is any mention by Parks of the need for 7ernik
19 to sign or initial Samaan's initial offer. Further, even if Parks' statements an: taken to be true
20 for sake of argument (they are not true), on their face they show a pattern of
21 misrepresentations and delay by Parks and Samaan designed to induce Zernik not to cancel
I) the contract at an earlier date.
23 Most telling, is the fact that on October 25, 20G..+' \!1cLaurin issLled a referral of
24 Plaintiffs loan application to the Division Undervvriting Support - Demetrio Gadi -- for an
25 exception request after Samaan' s loan had still not been approved despite Parks'
26 representations otherwise. There is no indication from thc documents produced by
27 Countryvvide that Samaan's loan was ever approved. Nevertheless. Plaintiff continued to

! approved in the near future.

3 3. Samaan Failed to Remove the Appraisal Contingency in a Timely


-\. Manner
5 Paragraph 2(J) of the Purchase Agreement required the buyer (Plaintiff) to remove the
6 loan and approval contingency vvithin 17 days of acceptance. PlaintitT chose to ignore this
7 deadline.
8 On October 18. 200..1-. after Defendant had been more than patient 111 waiting for
9 Plaintiff to remove her contingencies. Defendant gave the plaintiff 24 Hours Notice to
10 Perform provided for in paragraph 14 C(l) and (4-). Two days Iater. on October 20. 2004.
11 Plaintiff absolutely refused to remove the Appraisal Contingency by stating that she "will not
12 remove the appraisal contingency unti I I have received lhe lenders (sic) noti lication that the
13 value or the home is justified." rfN ~\ ,:3;c-31 I H. IS_c_·_~. Consequently, on October 21,
I-\. 2004 at I 1:30 a.Ill .. Defendant cancelled the Purchase Agreement and escrow. (Exhibit ).
15 In Plainti 1'1' deposition. she even admitted she received Defendant's cancellation on October
16 21.2004. (Zernik Decl. deposition of Samaan. 68:20-21).
17 Despite the fact that Defendant had already cancelled escrow, PlaintilTchose to ignore
18 .
the cancellation and continued to trv to negotiate
'-­
with Defendant's broker to have Defendant
19 reinstate escrow. Eventually. on October 25. after escrow had already been cancelled by
20 Defendant. Plaintiff removed the appraisal contingency. Her removal camc 23 days alter she
21 was required to do so per the terms of the purchase agrcement. 6 days aftcr her time to

III. DISCCSSION: SAMAAN IS NOT ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT

5 institution or from a third party. but if he relies upon the negotiation of a loan from a third
() party. the buyer must prove .... That the third party \vas legally bound by contract to advance
7 the funds ... ". In other words. for Samaan to prevail on her specitic performance claim she
8 must prmc that she was ready. \villing and able to proceed with the purchase of h:rnik's
9 home and that her lender was bound to advance the funds to her.
10 L Samaan Was Not Ready and Able to Proceed with the Purchase of
the Property.
I1
12 Throughout all of the pleadings and discovery. as set forth in great detail in the
13 statt:ment of l'acts above. Samaan has been unable to present an internally consistent version
l-l- of the lending process \vhere she actually is qualified for a loan. In other ·words. she cannot
15 show that she \\as ready and able to proceed with the' purchase because she cannot sho\v that
16 a third party \\as legally bound by contract to advance the funds necessary (approve her
17 loan) at the time lernik cancelled the contract. Note. Samaan did not have to obtain a loan
18 from Country\\ide. she was free to choose any lender. Nevertheless. the documents
19 produced by Countrywide indicate that she \vas not approved for a loan.

20 2. Samaan Was Never Willing or Able to Proceed with the Purchase

21 of the Property
22 At each step in this transaction. the facts indicate that Samaan \\as not \\illing to
23 proceed \\ith the purchase of the Propert). There are numerous examples of her

24 I UI1\\i II ing~ess to proceed \\ ith the purcha.s~ of the pr~pert:. Consider. the fOll,m\in g : !'

25 ( I ) Samaan ReqUlred a LO\\ 1I1ltIal DepOSIt r 0 AJlO\\ Her to l ancel \\- Ithout
Substantial Penalty: The initial deposit was just .59% of the purchase price, the
26 standard amount is 3% of the purchase price.
27
(2) Samaan Attempted to Unilaterallv Change Zernik's Acceptance Date: After Zernik
28 accepted Counter-Offer No.2. the next day Samaan contacted escro\\ to try to

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court Case 'Jo. SC087-WO
change Zernik' s acceptance date for one \veek. despite a provision in the contract
requiring the parties to agree to any material changes in writing.

3 (3) Failure to Provide Initial Deposit in a Timelv Manner: Samaan was required to
deposit her initial check for $15.000 \vithin three business days of acceptance. by
4 September 20. 2004. Samaan' s initial deposit check \\as returned for insufficient
5 funds on t\\o separate occasions. Samaan did not actuall~ provide a valid check
until October 4.2004. 14 days late.
6
(4) Samaan Failed to Provide the Second Deposit in a Timel" Manner: Samaan's
7
second deposit of $15.000 was due on September 12. 2004. Samaan did not
8 attempt to provide that deposit until October 12. 2004. 13 days later.
9
These are just a few of the numerous instances indicating that Samaan either vvas unable to
10 proceed with the purchase of the Property per the terms of the contract. or she simply was
1I
unwilling to do so. Either way. these facts prevent Samaan from obtaining summary
12 judgment as a matter of htvv. because she cannot establish. by undisputed fact that she \vas
13 ready willing and able to proceed with the purchase of the Property.
14
B. Plaintiff Fraudulently Induced Zernil5.'s Assent to the Contract
15
In Defendant's Ansvver he pleads unclean hands and fraud as aftinnative defenses to
16
17
Plaintiffs breach of contract and specific performance claims. "Specific performance cannot

IX be enforced against a party to a contract. ... if his assent was obtained by the

19 misrepresentation. concealment. circumvention. or unfair practices of any party to whom


performance would be due under the contract. or by any promise of such party which has not
20
been substantially fulfilled." Civil Code § 3391 (3). It is axiomatic that a party who seeks
21
to invoke a court's eyuitable power must come to court with clean hands. See. e.g., Gavina v
22
Smirh ( 1(44) 25 C2d 50 I. 154 P2d 681. The concept of unclean hands. however. is broader
23
24 I than the statutory language of ~3391 (3) and includes any unconscionable conduct that
;­ prejudices the other party. Soon v Beckman (1965) 234 CA2d 33. 44 CR 190.

"'Where a party calls for specitic performance. he must. as to every part of the
26
transaction. be free from every imputation of fraud or deceit.' and 'must shO\v that his

conduct has been clear. honorable. and fair. ... Kelly v. Central Pacijic Railroad Co. (1888)

7~ Clli. 557. 563. In Kelly. the Court \vent on to explain the concept of fraudulent

inducement in the context of a specific performance action as fo\lc)\\s:


3
I t' the misrepresentation \\as intentional. and made for the
purpose of deceiving the vendor [sdlerJ. and the vendor rdies
5 upon it. and was deceived by it. and would not have entered into
the contract but for the fact that he was so decei\ed. then \\e

6 think a court of equity will not enforce the contract. \\hether it be

accompanied by damage or not. So far as this kind of suit is

7
concerned. such a misrepresentation is material although not

8 accompanied by damage.

9 /£1. at 561. In other \\ords. specific performance cannot be granted \\here the buyer
10 fraudulently induced the seller to enter into the contract.
11 I len~. as set forth in great detail in the statement of facts. Samaan committed countless
12 acts of fraud to fraudulently induce Zernik to enter into the contract. The most salient
13 example of Samaan"s fraudulent inducement of Zernik rclates to the prequalification letter
I~ submitted on behalf of Samaan. On September 7. 2004. Samaan submitted a pre­
IS qualification letter to lernik (via Michael Libmv) because Zernik had expressed concern to
16 his agent regarding Samaan' s ability to obtain a purchase money loan for the Property given
17 that she has represented herself as a real estate agent representing herself. Therefore. on
18 September 7. 200~. Libow received a facsimile purporting to be from Pacific Mortgage
19 Consultants.
20 Samaan submitted the pre-qualitication letter to Zernik \\ith the intent to induce him
21 to enter into contract. To induce Zernik's assent to the contract. Samaan made numerous
22 misrepresentations to Zernik. First. paragraph 2(g) of Samaan's Initial OtTer required
?'
-.) Samaan to submit a letter from a lender or mortgage broker stating that "hosed on a revievv
2~ oj Buyer's H'J"itfen application and credit report. BU,ver is preqzwlij7ed or preapproved for

-) the .\EvV loan speci/ied in 2C ahove." (Emphasis Added). 1I0\\\.:\er. during her deposition
26 Samaan testified that she had never spoken \\ith Parks (who signed the letter) or
27 communicated \\ ith him - making it near impossible for him to have reviewed her written

28 application. Further. neither Parks nor Samaan have produced a copy of Samaan's pre-

18 / 745 Opposirion to \lotion for Summary Judgment


Court File: "Volume IV Continued"
-15­
Case :\0. SC08NOO
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
qualification letter throughout discovery and the lengthy litigation.

Second. the content of the letter turned out to be untrue and deliberately misleading.

Samaan \\as never actually approved for a purchast; money loan causing Zernik to cancel

esCfO\\. Third. the letter. \\hich \\as represented to be given by an independent hroker.

5 purportedly came from Parks. \vho was Samaan's then fiancc's cousin. Making an

6 indepclH_lent revie\\ very unlikely.

7 Finally. the signature on the prc-qualification letter docs not match the signature of

8 Parks on his Court filings in this case. While it is impossible to determine \\hich version of

9 Parks' signature is accurate. even an untrained lay person' s eye can recognize the significant

10 differences in the signatures. Further- facsimile cannot be authenticatcd because neither

II Parks nor Samaan has produced their version of the facsimile in discO\ery.

12 In short. Samaan's misrepresentation of her abi lity to obtain a purchase money loan

13 \vas intended to deceive Zernik. Zernik relied on that letter in giving his assent the contract

14 and \vas deceived into thinking that the letter was based on an independent analysis of

IS Samaan's financial status. Had Zernik known the true facts. he would not have entered into

16 the Contract.

17 C. Zernik's Signature Was Not the Cause of Samaan's Failed Loan


Application
18
1. Samaan's Tall Tales That Her Loan Application was suspended on
19 October 14, 2004, due to a Missing Zernik Initial on Her Initial Offer
20 (the purported purchase and sale agreement) are Outright Fraud.

21 To substantiate her tall tales. Samaan fraudulently introduced a document that is an

22 inval id underwriting letter dated October 26. 2004. that did not exist on October 14. 2004.

23 Nevertheless. Parks claims that he \\as aware of this undenvriting letter on or about October

:2.+ 15. 200.+ and that this letter indicated a missing Zernik signature or initial causing the

25 suspcnsitm on or about Octobcr 15. 2004. In reality, the unden\Titing lettcr of October 1'+,

:26 200.+ signed by Diane Frazier, lists approximately 14 requiremcnts that Samaan had to

27 satisfy for loan approval. Chief among those conditions. \\as the requirement that Samaan

28 submit a \alid Uniform Residential Loan Application (Farm 1003) for the correct loan

program because Samaan had applied for a reduced documentation loan program that had a

S I million dollar cap. e\en though she \\as applying for a loan for S1.374.400. In addition.
3 in the tirst apprO\al condition in that letter. Frazier caught Samaan's fraud by discovering

Samaan had misrepresented the address of her sole place of employment. This caused her
5 loan application to be suspended.

6 The Countrywide Unden\Titing letter of October 26. 2004 is a yery sophisticated

7 instrument of deception. It is fraudulent on multiple leyels. While the ldter does appear to

8 be a print-out from one of Countrywide's underwriting computer sothvare programs. the


9 letter does not renect the true facts at the time of its p·rinting. It was also never authenticated
]() by the hand signature of an undenvriter. unlike the other underwriting letters produced

1] through discovery. Consider the following:

12 a) This Underwriting Letter is Unsigned.

All other valid underwriting letters were signed by either Diane Frazier. the
13
duly assigned under\\Titer. or by Maria Mclaurin. the Branch manager. who on
14 or around October 25. 2004. usurped Underwriting authority for Samaan's
loans.
15

16 b) This underwriting letter never appeared in four (4) subpoenas for documents
produced bv Countrywide to Zernik. In numerous meet and confer letters.
17 attorneys for Countrywide repeatedly promised Defendant that he received all
undenHiting letters applicable to this tile. When Defendant then showed them
18
the Underwriting Letter produced by Maria McLaurin on October 26, 2004,
19 the\'. concluded that it did not belong in the loan tile. When Defendant
~

demanded (Exhibit) in meet and confer letters that they proyide an explanation
20 for this letter. he receiyed (Exhibit) documents that appeared like
21 communications between Plaintiffs husband. Plaintiffs Counsel. and
McLaurin. in preparation for planting an invalid, unauthenticated document in
22 court filings.
23
e) Diane Frazier is J isted here as the underwriter. But her hand signature is
24 missin2.. in contrast to the other. valid undef\Hiting ktters. Moreover. bv
~ ~ .

.
October 26.2004. Diane Frazier was d'fectivelv removed from her authoritv as .
undenHiter for Samaan' s loans and that authority \\ as usurped by McLaurin.
26 Therefore. the missing signature here is that of McLaurin. not Samaan.

27 d) The loans were never suspended on October 26, 2004. By October 25. 2004.
28 McLaurin took control of the loans and started t\\O definitive actions to

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
expedite their approval - albeit \vithout ever obtaining e\en valid loan
applications from PlaintitT. McLaurin with help from Ortin acted as follows:

3 I. She ordered Appraisal Review. regardless of the fact that the


Undcf\\Titer stipulated that such Appraisal be carried out only after
Corporate Approval of the loan guidelines violations.
5
11. She initiated Referral to Division Underwriting Support by submitting
6 an Exception Request. Branch Input. in \vhich. in error. Samaan's
income was hiked to $4.000.000 a year.
7

8 e) Even had this Undenvriting Letter been valid. it is irrelevant. since Escrow was
canceled on October 21. 2004, and this Letter is dated October 26, 2004.
9
10 Likev,ise. the loan was suspended. per the terms of the underwriting letter, because

II due to the deliberate submission of dishonest loan applications. fees assigned to the loan

12 \vere erroneously lovvered and so were closing costs. Subsequently. if disclosure papers

13 were prepared based on this invalid application the disclosures would also be inaccurate.

14 Therefore. Samaan left the underwriter no other choice than to suspend the loan in less than

15 three days to protect Countrywide. because had she allowed the loan application to remain

16 \\ ithout valid loan disclosures (\vhich were not present) she would expose Countrywide to

17 Fraud. Business and Professions Code ~ 10240(c).

18 2. Zernik Was Not Required to Sign Samaan's Original Offer


19 Zernik was never required to sign Samaan's initial offer. \vhich was the California
20 Residential Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions. Indeed. the terms

21 of Counter Offer No. 2 expressly stated that "The terms and conditions of the above

22 referenced document [the California Residential Purchase Agreement (Samaan's initial

23 offer) I an: accepted subject to the following:" Applying very basic contract principles

24 ren:als that a counter-offeree need not initial or sign an original offer after being presented

\vith a counter-offer. In other words. Zernik \\as never obligated to sign the original ofter

(even if he did or did not. \vhich Samaan cannot conclusively prove).

27 ~evcrtheless. Zernik did initial and sign pages I through 8 of the purchase agreement.

28 No\v. through the declaration of Victor Parks and without any documentary evidence.

Court File: "Volume IV Continued" Case '\0. 5C087400
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
Samaan claims that Zernik signed Samaan's original offer (the California Residential

Purchase and Sak Agreement and Joint Escrmv Instructions) atter 3:-1-2 p.m. on October 22.

3 200-1-. In fact. Gail HershO\\itz. in her declaration submitted in opposition to this motion.

4 ' could not contirm that lernik signed the contract at that time. (HershO\vitz Dec!.. ., 3.)

5 3. Plaintiff Submitted a Fraudulent Version of the Purchase


6 Agreement

7 One of the main arguments that Samaan relics on in her motion for summary

8 judgment is a version of her initial offer that she claims Zernik did not sign. which prevented

9 her performance. The document she presented was a document misrepresented as a version

to of the purchase agreement that had been faxed by Mara Escrmv to Parks on October 22.

I1 2004 at 3 :42 p.m. without Defendant's signature.

12 In order to understand Samaan's ever changing story regarding Zernik's allegedly

13 missing initials and signature it is important to understand Parks' declaration. Parks stated:

14 This document is not initialed on every page by Zernik showing


that as of 3:42 p.m. on October 22. 2004. Zernik had not yet
15 delivered to Mara Escrow a fully executed copy of the Purchase
16 Agreement. Subsequently. later that day. Mara EscrO\v sent me a
fully executed copy of the Purchase Agreement. Apparently. at
17 some point after 3:42 p.m.. on Friday. October 22. Zernik went to
18 Mara Escrow and initialed every page of the Purchase
Agreement. I immediately forward the fully executed Purchase
19 Agreement to CountrV\vide.
'-­ "'
20
There are numerous problems with this story. Consider the follmving:

(I ) Parks has no personal knowledge of if or when Zernik signed the agreement as


is apparent from his statement --Apparently. at some point. ....·
23
(2 ) In his emails of October 22. 2004 Parks stated that he \\as having problems
24 \vilh his telephone and fax machine and thcrcforc it is questionable whether he
\\as actually involved \\ith this purported facsimile transmission

26 (3 ) There is absolutely no documentary evidence to SUpp0l1 his statement. Parks


27 attached. as Exhibit 24 to his declaration. a copy of what he falsely declares is
the unsigned and uninitialed purchase and sale agreement. IIO\vever. Parks
28 does not provide a copy ofthe second document that he contends he received

Court File: "Volume IV Continued" Case :'\io. SC087400
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
from JJara Escrow 011 that same day and thell later sent to Countrywide.
Likc\vise. both Mara Escrow and Country\vide havc failed to produce such a
document. Country\vide' s production. in rcsponse to Zernik' s subpoena shows
that Parks did not actually send either of the facsimiles he contends he sent to
Country"ide on October 25. 2004. Instead. the ol1(r document produced by
Coulltrywide (even after Zernik met and conferred \\ ith Country\\ ide) is the
5 document attached as Exhibit R to Zernik's declaration. Zernik Dec!.. ~ 34.
Exhibit R. That document does contain Zernik's initials and signature. If Parks
6 .
truh had sent either facsimile on October 21. 2004. sureh Countrvwide .
. or
Mara Escrow would have produced such a document. Alternatively. if Parks
7
. .
had actuallv sent the second facsimile. surelv he could have attachcd it to his
8 declaration.

9 (4 ) Third. the version produced by Countrywide bears the 3 :42 p.m. facsimile
10 header and no intervening facsimile headers from October 11. 2004. In other
\\ords. the document produced by Countrywide contains three fax headers: (l)
II A September 22.2004 transmission from Coldv.ell Banker. (2) an October 22,
12 1004 transmission from Mara Escrmv at 3:42 p.m. and (3) an October 25.1004
facsimile from an unidentified source at 5:09 p.m. Based on Parks' version of
13 events. he claims he received facsimile (2) from Mara EscrO\v. and then
suhsequently received another version of the facsimile on that same day from
14
Mara Escrmv. "hich was "apparently" signed by Zern ik and then sent back to
15 Parks. who then forwarded it to Countrywide. apparently creating facsimile
(3). llmvever. in order for Mara Escrow to be on the facsimile header for
16 facsimile (3). Mara Escrow would have had to had Parks hand deliver that
17 document to them and then they would have had to hand deliver it to Parks,
\vho \vould have then had to have sent it to Countrywide.
18

19 O. Seller Had the Right to Cancel the Agreement on October 21, 2004.

20 Generally. the terms of the Purchase Agreement control the parties' duties and

21 responsibilities during the escrow period. Indeed. Paragraph 14 (c) of the Purchase
II
Agreement clearly sds forth the Seller's right to cancel the agreement where buyer does not
23 remove thc applicahle contingency or fulfill buyer's contractual obligations.

24 I lere, as set forth in the statement of facts (above) Samaan (buyer) breached both

-+ Evidence: Page 1. Paragraph 2. Lines 10 ­ Page 2. Lines 1-2.
5 In March 2004. I became engaged to my husband Jae Arre Lloyd and we began

6 searching for a home to purchase in Beverly Hills in anticipation of our wedding on

7 September 18. 2004. in Hmvaii. At the time Jae Arre Lloyd and his three daughters lived

8 together in L1oyd's two-bedroom apartment on Peck Drive in Beverly Hills but I did not live

9 them. Our search for a home \vas limited and driven by two man factors: ( 1) our budget was

10 approximately $1.7 million, and (2) because our children were enrolled in high school and

II middle school in Beverly Hills. our new home had to be located in the Beverly Hills area so

12 that our children could remain in the same schools. Even within Be\l~rly I Iills, our search as

13 limited to a ten block radius from L1oyd's apartment. There are three middle schools in

14 Bt:verly Hills and two of our three daughters were enrolled in one of them. tht: EI Rodeo

15 Middle School on Whittier Drive (currently one of our daughters is still enrolled at EI

16 Rodeo). In order for our daughters to continue to attend EI Rodeo we have to live in the

17 school" s coverage area which includes an approximately ten block radius around Lloyd' s

18 apartment on Peck Drive. Keeping our daughters in the same school \vas very important to

19 us. Lloyd's daughters had lived with their mother (Lloyd's former \vire) until February

20 2004. Bet\\een 199 and 2004 Lloyd's daughter had moved five dilTerent times and had

changt:s schools a few times. It was very important to us to provide them \vith stability.
11 Eventually. in August 2004. I moved into Lloyd's two bedroom apartment hoping that soon

23 our entire family would move to a nc\v house.

24 Currently me. LJO) d and our three children all live in the same t\\ o-bedroom apartment on

Peck Drive

26 Grounds for Objections:


27 Irrelevant. Evid. Code ~ 350. Samaan's family history is not relevant to this specific

I han: mer 30 yeLlrS of experience in real estate lending and sales. I have been a

5 Consultant I act as a broker bet\veen lenders and borrowers. My duties include gathering

6 information needed b) lenders from horrmvers and facilitating the procurement of loans. I

7 have been a broker since 1986. Prior to that from 1982 to 1986 I was a Vice President and

8 Corporate loan officer for Bank of California (nO\v LJnion Bank). Before that from 1971 to

9 1982 I was Assistant Vice President/Corporate Loan Officer at Bank of Southern California.

10 As a loan ofticer at both Bank of California and Bank of Southern California I was

II responsible, among other things, for revievving loan applications. packaging loans and

25 borrO\\er's willingness to repay the loan and (3) the Iender's ahility to recover the loan

26 should the borrO\ver fail to repay. With respect to the tirst category. the lender will look to

27 the bOITO\\cr's income and debt structure. The second category is analyzed based on the

\\ ho prm ides the lender \\ith the requisite information. such as a cn:dit report. bank account
statements. de. The third category - \\hat happens if the bornmer defaults - is based on the
value of the property. The information needed for the lender's analysis of this category
comes mostly from the sel ler. When a borrower has the property appraised. he'she will
5 submit that appraisal to the lender. The lender will then revie\\ the appraisal. to determine
6 \vhether the value is justified. The lender will not approve the loan until it has reviewed and
7 approved the appraisal. In reviewing the appraisal the lender needs several key documents.
8 two of which are the preliminary title report and the fully executed purchase agreement. A
9 purchase agreement consists of a Residential Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow
10 Instructions. The preliminary title report must be provided by the seller and the purchase
11 agreement must be executed by both parties. The preliminary title report may contain a host
12 of items that effect the value of the property. These items include encumhranct.:s. t.:asements.
13 encroachments. mineral rights. conditions. covenants and restrictions or Home Owners
1.+ Association restrictions. The lender also needs the fully executed purchase agreement before
15 it can revic\v and approve the appraisal of a property. because the terms of the purchase
16 agreement may effect value. For example. if a seller has agreed to return $100.000 of the
17 portion price back to the buyer. then the value of the property should be reduced by
18 $Ioo.ono. 1\ It.:ndt.:r cannot approve the appraisal and loan for a propt.:rty without first

19 reviewing the preliminary title report and the executed purchast.: agreement. Borrowers
20 typically \\ill not remove their appraisal contingency until the lender has approved the
21 appraisal of the property. [n a residential purchase transaction. such as the one involved
:22 here. contingencies are in place to protect the purchaser. r or example. an appraisal
23 contingenc) means that the buyer's purchase of the property is contingent on the property
2.+ appraising at the purchase price thi.: parties have .agreed upon. An appraisal has two
25 components. The tirst is an appraisal done by an independent appraisal agency. here
26 Property Sciences Group. Inc. Once the independent agency appraises the property and
27 prepares a report. as Property Sciences Group. Inc. did here. that report is sent to the lender.
28 The second component of the appraisal is the lender's approval of the appraisal done by the

Court File: "Volume IV Continued" Case No, SC087400
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
2. I submit this d~c1aration in connection \vith my Opposition to plaintiff Nivie

2 Samaan's ("'Plaintiff") Motion for Summary Judgment.

3 3. In or about July 2004. I entered into a listing agreement with Michael Libow

4 ("'Libow") of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage to list my real property located at 320

5 South Peck Avenue, Beverly Hills. California 90212 (the "Property") for sale. Shortly after

6 listing the Property for sale. Plaintiff submitted an offer to purchase the Property for

7 $ 1.670.000.

8 .f. From the outset of this transaction (the presentation of this initial offer)

9 Plaintiff fraudulentlv induced me to enter into an agreement to sdl mv house. Indeed, at the
~ ~ -

10 time Plaintiff submitted her offer. on her fax coversheet she affirmatively represented that

1I she was representing herself in this transaction. A true copy of the fax covershcet enclosing

12 Samaan's initial offer is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Later. Plaintiff stated "My apologies

13 if I miss spoke on my voicemail message to you earlier. I'm a health & Beauty Consultant

14 by profession. but have a Real Estate license and sell a few properties a year." A true copy of

15 Plaintiffs fax covershect to Libow is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Then. during her

16 deposition. she further recanted her representation by explaining that she had never sold any

17 property at all. Sec. Samaan Deposition Exhibit . 14: 6-16.

18 5. did not accept PlaintitTs initial otTer for many reasons. I was primarily

19 concerned about the validity of an offer from a real estate agent representing herself. Indeed.

20 I preferred to entertain otfers from potential buyers who were represented by independent

21 agents or brokers. I firmly believe that an offer presented by an independent real estate agent

22 or broker has the advantage of being evaluated and verified by a third party before being

23 presented to me. In addition. several of the terms of the offer \\ ere not at the level I sought.

24 For example. Plaintiffs offer had a very low initial deposit of 510.000 for a purchase of

25 51.670.000. which represents .59 percent of the total purchase price. \vhich is far below the
26 standard set forth in the contract of 3%. This was concerning to me because I kne\\­ if

27 Plaintiff later \\as unable to qualify for a loan or \vas umvilling to proceed \vith the purchase

28 of the Property. she \\ould have a relatively small amount of liquidated damages in

-2­ Declaration of Joseph lernik


66 / 745
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" Case \io. SC087-100
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
cnmparison to th~ ov~rall purchase price and the risk I \\ould undertake in accepting an offer

'1 from a real estate agent representing herself.

3 6. I expressed my concerns about Plaintiff s initial offer to L ibcm \\ ho suggested

.:+ that \\e obtain a pre-qualification letter from Plaintiff. LibO\v maintained that a

5 prequalilication lett~r \\ould provide ~xtra assurances that Plaintiff would have the linancial

6 ability to purchase the Property. Therefore, on September 7, 2004, Plaintiff informed Libmv

7 that "My lender should be faxing a letter about my qualification:'

8 7. In reality, Libow received a facsimile on September 7, 2004 purportedly from

9 Plaintiffs mortgage loan broker (not Iter lender) \\herein he claimed that Plaintiff had been

10 "pre-qualified to purchase a $1. 700.00 home with 8011 Oil 0 financing." True copies of the

II document purporting to be Parks' fax cover sheet and pre-qualification letter are collectively

12 attached hereto as Exhibit C. At that time, I believed that Plaintiff had been pre-approved

13 by an independent broker. In reality, Plaintiff never disclosed to me that Parks was her then

14 liance'scousin.

15 8. I \\ould later discover that Parks' signature on the pre-qualification letter was

16 vastly different than the signature I reviewed on Parks' declarations Fl1ed in this case. In

17 order to make a valid comparison. I compared Parks' signature on his October 29, 2006

18 declaration submitted in opposition to my motion to expunge lis pendens to his signature on

19 the pre-lJualilication letter and on Samaan's original Uniform Residential Loan Application.

20 Based on my revie\\ of those three documents, I cannot be sure as to \vhich is the correct

21 version of Parks' signature. For ease of reference, r prepared a chart to compare those

22 signatures side by side. Even a cursory review of those signatures reveals that they arc not

23 similar. and therefore, I do not know which is the correct version. Therefore. I cannot

24 ascertain with any certainty \vhether Parks actually signed the pre-qualilication letter. A true

25 copy of the side by side comparison signature chart along with a copy of the supporting

26 documents is collectivdy attached hereto as Exhibit D.

27 9. My suspicion regarding the validity of the pre-qualitication \vas further


2R heightened \vhen I discovered through emails sent by Libo\V that certain that certain

67 / 745 -3­ Dt.?claration of Joseph Zernik


Court File: "Volume IV Continued" CaSe ~o. 5C087400
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
facsimile transmissions that Libow intended to send to Parks were actlla/(r forwarded to
') Samaan's facsimile mac/line. When LibO\v discovered these facts he sent an email to Parks
3 \vherein he inquired as to why facsimiles he sent to Victor \vcre re-routed to Plaintiffs fax
-+ machine. Parks. hO\\t~vcr. never provided an explanation. To this day. it is unclear \vhether
5 .
Libow' s facsimiles \vere received bv Plaintiff or Parks. given that Parks \\as
~
1'0[\\ arding~
his
6 facsimiles to Plaintiff. True copies of 1\\0 of Libow's emails \\here he asked Parks to
7 explain the diverted facsimiles are collectively attached hereto as Exhibit F.

8 10. I have conducted discovery in this matter. including subpoenas to Mara Escrow
9 Company. document requests to Plaintiff. subpoenas to Countrywide and subpoenas to
10 Victor Parks. However. to my knowledge, no document has ever been produced through
1I discovery that indicates that Victor Parks actually reviewed Plainti tTs written application
12 and credit report as he \vas required to do by section 2( G) of the Purchase Agreement. In
13 fact. in Samaan' s deposition she even stated that she had never spoken to Parks regarding
14 this loan transaction. See. ~ 37. Exhibit T 41: 18-19.
15 The Counter Offers
16 11. On or about September 10. 2004. I submitted a counter-offer to Plaintiff
17 (Counter-OITer No.1). A copy of Counter-Offer No.1 produced by Plaintiff in this action is
18 attached hereto as Exhibit F. The tenns of the offer. among others. increased the purchase
19 price to $1. 718.00 and provided for an initial deposit of 3% of the purchase price or $51.540.
20 12. On or about September 11. 2004. PlaintifT accepted Counter-Offer No. 1
21 subject to the terms of Counter-afTer No.2. which she purportedly attached to her
acceptance. Counter-Offer No.2 incorporates by reference. in paragraph 1 the terms and
23 conditions of Samaan's Initial Offer. The materially different terms of Counter Offer No.2.

24 provided for an initial deposit of $15.000 to be deposited \vithin three business days of
acceptance and an increased deposit of an additional S 15.000 to be deposited \vithin 14 days
26 of acceptance.
27 13. On September 15. 2004. I accepted Counter OtTer No.2 by signing Paragraph

~8 6. Dct\:ndant then facsimiled a copy of my acceptance to Plaintiff On September 16. 2004.

Plaintiff initialed the "Continnation of Acceptance" and facsimiled a copy of her

2 acknowledgment of acceptance to Defendant. A true copy of Plaintiffs September 16. 200-l

3 acceptance of Counter-Offer No. 2 is attached hereto as Exhibit G. Indeed. Plaintiff

-l contirmed"A copy of Signed Acceptance was personally recein:d by the maker of the

5 Counter Offer. or that person's authorized agent.·· In other \\ords. Plaintiff conlirmed that

6 she had received aful(l' executed acceptance from me.

7 l-l. Through recent discovery in this matter. on or about June 8. 2007. I obtained

8 from Mara EscrO\v a document production in response to my duly served subpoena.

9 received sen:ral documents that indicate that from the very beginning of escrow. Plaintiff

10 refused to abide by the terms and dates provided in the Contract. Indeed. I learned that

II Plaintiff did not attempt to make her initial deposit of $15.000 to Mara Escrow until

[2 September 27. 200-l (7 days after she was required to do so). I also learned that when she

13 presented a check to escrow. pre-dated to September 24. 2004. the check failed to clear due

l-l to insufticient. Unbeknovvnst to me at that time. Plaintiffs check l~lilcd to clear. due to

15 insufticient funds. on two separate occasions. True copies of the documents indicating the

16 many attempted deposits attempted by Samaan as well as the declaration of the custodian of

17 records of Mara Escrmv Co. arc collectively attached hereto as Exhibit H.

18 IS. On October -l. 2004. after Mara Escrow contacted Plainti 1'1' regarding the fact

[9 that checks failed to clear due to insufficient funds. Plaintiff presented a cashier's check for

20 the initial deposit. However. by October 4. 2004. Plaintiffs initial check was already /4

21 days late. And. Plaintiffs second deposit of $15.000. per the terms of Counter Offer No.2.

22 was also overdue. f ler second deposit vvas due within 14 days of acceptance or on

23 September 29. 200-l. Plaintiff did not actually present ha second deposit until October 12.

2-l 200-l. 27 days after acceptance and /3 days late.

16. Throughout the escrow period I was unaware of the problems Samaan was

26 experiencing in obtaining a purchase money loan for the Property. Alter Plaintiff tiled the

27 instant action against me. I sent several subpoenas to different Country\\ ide entities. In

28 response. I received several key documents that indicated that Plaintiff \\as never approved

Court File: "Volume IV Continued" Case '\0. SC087400
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
for a loan for the Property.
1 17. One document produced by Country\\ide in response to my duly served

3 subpoena of February 8. 2007. \\as Country\vide's Clues Analysis Report (the "Clues

4 ReporC). I am informed and believe that this document \\as generated by Country\\ide's

5 internal loan anahsis sothvare. The Clues Report of October 14. 200,+' indicated that

6 Plaintiffs loan application had drawn several read !lags. In particular. the Clues Report

7 indicated that "Reduced documentation is not allowed on a Non-Conforming Mega

8 Loan The max loan amount is $1.000.00 on Non-Conf ARM Fixed Period · In other

9 words. Plaintiff had applied for the wrong type of loan. She applied for a reduced

10 documentation loan program. but she exceeded the maximum loan amount. Therefore.

II Plaintiffs Uniform Residential Loan Application was completely invalid. The Clues Report

12 also indicated that because Plaintiff was a real estate agent rcpresenting herselt: she was not

13 allowed to usc any commission earned from the sale of the property towards any down

14 payment. closing costs or reserves for this transaction. True copies of the October 14. 2004

15 Clues Report produced by Countrywide. along with the declaration of their custodian of

16 records are collectively attached hereto as Exhibit I.

17 18. Through all of the discovery conducted In this case. Countrywide and

18 Plaintiff have never produced a loan application from Plaintiff with a date after the October

19 14. 2004 Clues Report. Plaintiff has presented no evidence to suggest that she ever

20 resubmitted a valid Unifonn Residential Loan Application (Form 1(3). Therefore. she was

21 incapable of being approved for a loan by Countrywide. on that reason alone.


1; 19. The Clues Report also indicated that Plaintiff did not have the 6 months of

23 resef\ es required for the loan she applied for. As a result of Plaintiffs invalid loan

24 application and her lack of adequate reserves. the Clues Report made a REFER

25 determination. rather than approving the loan for Plaintiff.

26 20. Country\\ide also produced an Undenvriting Decision Letter dated October 14,

27 2004. In letter. the duly assigned underwriter. Diane Frazier. indicated that Plaintiff needed

28 to resubmit valid Uniform Loan Applications. Form 1003. with the correct interest rate

70 / 745 -6­ Declaration of Joseph Zanik

applied to the request loan and fol1owing true and correct loan program guidelines. In other

! \\ords. Plaintifhvas required to suhmit a ne\\ valid loan application based on a different loan

3 program and different applicahle interest rates. A true copy of Country\\ide's Octoher 14.

4 2004 Underwriting Decision Letter is attached hereto. as produced bv Plainti ff at her

5 deposition. as Exhihit 1.

6 21. The October 14.2004 UndenHiting Decision Letter bears a facsimile header in

7 the upper left corner \\ hich indicates that the document was received hy someone (it is not

8 clear who received this document) on October 14. 2004. It is not clear who sent the

9 document either. This version matches the version produced by C ountry\\ ide. see paragraph

10 22. This UndenHiting Decision Letter indicates that Plaintiffs loan application \vas

11 suspended on Octoher 14.2004 and that it would be "closed for incompleteness" if Samaan

12 did not satisfy the conditions set forth therein. One of those conditions. clearly stated that

13 Samaan must submit a valid Uniform Residential Loan Application (Form 1(03). Samaan

14 never did. Nevertheless. this document sds forth no less than 16 conditions Samaan was

IS required to fullill.

16 22. Through recent discovery. I also discovered that Plaintiff had made several

17 material misrepresentations in connection with her loan application. \vhich also caused her to

18 meet resistance when she was purportedly trying to obtain a purchase money loan for the

19 Property. Indeed. on Plaintiffs loan application she indicated that she \vas unmarried, even

20 though she was actual1y married in September 2004. Plaintiff had also indicated on her loan

21 application that she was self-employed and received no other income. despite the fact that

77 she also claims to be a cosmetic saleswoman at Barney's Department Store. Plaintiff

23 indicated that she had been at her job (presumably the self·employed one) for the past four

24 years even though her corporation was fonm:d only a year earlier. Plaintiff also. among

other things. misrepresented that her main asset was Spellbound Corporation. \vhich she
26 valued at ~500.000. The documents produced by Countrywide indicate that they asked her

27 for a copy of Spel1bound Corporation's Financial Statement. but those same documents also

28 indicate that she never produced such a statement. True copies of Plainti ff s loan application

I hereto as Ex.hibit K.

3 23. Parks signed Plaintiffs Original Uniform Loan Application at the bottom of

4 page 3 in the space provided for the int~rviewer's signature. He indicated that he

5 intenie\ved PlaintitT by telephone. Yet during Plaintiffs deposition she testified that she

6 m:ver spoke to Parks about her loan application. See, Paragraph 37, Ex.hibit T, Samaan Decl.

7 41: 18-20.

8 24. During escrow, PlaintitT never disclosed the very significant problems she \vas

9 having obtaining a purchase money loan for the Property. Instead, she consistently

10 represented that the loan would be funded.

11 25. Plaintif[ through Victor Parks, made the follmving representations to Libow,

12 which I relied on in not canceling escrow at an earlier date:

13 • September 28, 2004: "th~ loan for Ms. Samaan begun today!! We've ordered
escrow, title & appraisal and estimate final loan approval within I() days'"
14

15 • October 5, 2004: "We \vill be ready to submit for loan approval tomorrow"

16
• October 7, 2004: "Please allow 3 business days for loan approval"
17
• October 8, 2004: ··.. to notify you that Samaan loan has been submitted to the lender
18 today. Please allow 3 business days for Loan Approval.
19
• October 15, 2004: ..... received your message yesterday afternoon and checked
20 with the lender. The Samaan loan is still in underwriting and should be approved
21 by Monday [October 181. 1"11 contact you if we get approval any sooner'"
• October 18, 2004: "We have conditional loan approval for the Nivie Samaan loan.
22 We are in contact with Ms. Samaan for the borrower conditions and escrow for
some items needed from them. We should be in a position to order loan documents
23
when the appraisal comes back from review by the end of the \\ eek lOctober 22.

• October 19, 2004: Parks Statement: " ... the loan is approved ....' "r should have
26 the [appraisall review due Friday [October 22,2004] ... ··

27
• October 22, 2004: "We're experiencing phone problems, so \ve haven't been able

state the appraisal is still in re\'iew, but they're going to try to get a verbal ok for me
so I can inform Ms. Samaan that it's alright to release the appraisal contingency'"

True copies of these emails produced arc collcctin:ly attached hcn:to as Exhibit L.
26. fhe true facts regarding Samaan's loan application are vastly different then the
5
factually incorrect information Parks provided in his emails. Indeed. in Parks' own
6
declaration he contradicts his earlier cmails \vhen he declared that he did not submit
7
Samaan's loan application until October 12. 2004. Thus. the first four statements above
8
were absolutely false. And. the documents produced by Countrywide contradict Parks'
9
statement that he did not submit Samaan's loan application until October 12. 2004. because
10
on October 6. 2004. Countrywide \vas already conducting an investigation of Samaan based
II
on her suspect loan application. Indeed. in response to a subpoena [ served on Countrywide
12
Home Loans. Inc. (and its artiliates). Countrywide produced various documents. One of
13
those documents \vas a print out from smartpages.com. which indicated a reverse number
14
look-up from October 6, 2004. A true copy of the print-out Irom smartpages.com. produced
15
by Country\vide. is attached hereto as Exhibit M. Again. this document was created by
16
Countrywide prior to the date that Samaan claims she first submitted the loan. Logically.
17
this October 6. 2004 smartpages.com print-out \yould not be in existence if Samaan had not
18
already submitted her loan to Countrywide by October 6. 2004. In other \vords. there \vould
19
be no reason for Countrywide to be investigating the facts underlying Samaan's loan
20 application on October 6. 2004. if she truly (as Plaintiff falsely contends) did not submit the
21 loan application until October 12. 2004.
22
27. By October 14. 2004. Samaan' sloan appl ication was suspended because she
23
did not submit a valid loan application (for the correct loan program) and she did not satisfy
approximately 14 other conditions. Thus, Parks had no reason to represent that to me that
Samaan's loan \vas an~ \\here near approval. Indeed. in Parks' declaration he states that ··on
26
Friday. October 15, I learned that tht: lender. Countrywide. \vas suspending a decision on the
27 loan ... " In other words, Parks stated that he learned that the lender had suspended a decision
28
in the loan. yet at that time he was misleading me into believing the loan \\Ould be approved

6 28. [n reality. Plaintiffs loan had not been approved on that dat\:. \\hich is sho\vn

7 from that fact that on Octoba 25. 2004. McLaurin issued a referral of Plaintiffs loan

8 application to the Division Underwriting Support - Demetrio Gadi - for an exception

9 request. In the exception request Plaintiffs income is handwritten as $33.333 per month or

10 $400.000 per year. However. in the Exception Request report prepared by Gadi. there is a

I1 notation \vTitten by Kristin Ortin that "'Borrower's Income Should Be $33.333 Not $333.333,

12 which suggest that when McLaurin submitted the exception request she did so on the false

13 basis that Plaintiff had an income of $4.000,000 per year as opposed to $400.000 (a large

14 amount under either scenario for a cosmetics saleswoman). (Jadi placed various conditions

15 on Samaan's loan approval. none of which were disclosed to Zernik until the instant

16 litigation. Gadi added. among others. the following conditions to Samaan' sloan:

17 • The adding. 75% interest to the loan. as had been previously been determined by the
undervvriter who wrote the October 14,2004 Undervvriting Decision Letter.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
Samaan Failed to Remove the Appraisal Contingencv in a Timely Manner

29. Paragraph 2(1) of the Purchase Agreement required the buyer (Plaintiff) to
remove the loan and approval contingency \vithin 17 days of acceptance. Plaintiff chose to
ignore this deadline.
5 30. On October 18. 2004. after I had been more than patient in waiting for Plaintiff
6
to remove her contingencies. I gave the plaintiff 24 Hours Notice to Perform provided for in
7
paragraph 14 C(1) and (4). A true copy of Notice to Perform No.1 is attached hereto as
8
Exhibit O.

31. Tvvo days after I issued the Notice to Perform. in Plainti rf s letter of October
10
20. 2004. she absolutely refused to remove the Appraisal Contingency by stating that she
1I "\\ iII not remove the appraisal contingency until I have received the lenders (sic) noti fication
12
that the value of the home is justitied.·· A true copy of Plaintiffs October 20. 2004 letter is
13
attached hereto as Exhibit P.
14
32. Consequently. on October 21. 2004 at 11 :30 a.m .. I cancelled the Purchase
15
Agreement and escro\\-. I cancelled by sending a letter to Plaintiff: Mara Escrow and Libow
16
wherein I indicated that because Plaintiff had failed to remove all contingencies in a timely
17
manner. I \vas electing to cancel escrow. A true copy of my letter of October 21. 2004 is
18
attached hereto as Exhibit Q. In Plaintiff deposition. she admitted that she received
19
Defendant" s cancellation on October 2 L 2004. Sec. Paragraph 37. Exhibit T. Samaan
20 Di:claration: 68:20-21).
21 ., .,
..u . Despiti: the fact that I had already cancelled escrO\v. Plaintiff chose to ignore
22 the cancellation and continued to try to negotiate \\ith my hroker to hm e me reinstate
23
escrow. Howe\er. made it clear to Parks and Plaintiff in an email of Octobi:r 22.2004. that
24
the Zernik had already cancelled the contract. A true copy of LibO\\'s October 22. 2004
email. obtained through discovery in this action. is attached hereto as Lxhibit R.
26
34. Nevertheless. Plaintiff unilaterally chose to ignore my October 21. 2004
27
cancellation. Indeed. on October 25. 2004. long after I had cancelled escrow. Plainti 1'1'
28
remo\'t~d the appraisal contingency. Her removal came 23 days after she \\as required to do

so pcr the terms of the purchase agreement. 6 days after her time to perform pursuant to the

") notice to perform had expired and 4 days after I had already cancelled escro\\.

3 35. Nearly three years later. Plaintiff is still actively trying to crcate a nc\\ \ersion

4 of events whereby she now claims that there \vere facsimiles exchanged on October 25,

5 2004, relating to my initials and signatures on Plaintiffs Initial Offer.

'n.f::Jrrred rer that although the loan is approved, :t's not ovEr until the :3Ppralsal review ,5 b3C~, A.s you know, If
fer some rea50n the appraisal IS cut, we don't,)dve a deal. That being Sclld, [Ou1trywlde is ve:y :]oad with

Good Morning Michael. Regarding the loan contingency, you'll need to speak to 1'-1s. Samaan about it. I've
Informed her that although the loan is approved, it's not over until the appraisal review is back. As you know, If
for some reason the appraisal IS cut, we don't have a deal. That being said, Countrywide is very good wrth
appraisals and It's been a long-time since ['ve had an appraisal cut. I've reviewed the camps and the value is well
supported, but there's always the poSSibility.

I should have the review by Fnday which still gives everyone ten days until the close of escrow. Plea~ feel free
to call me should you have any further questions.

Respectfu Ily,

Hello Michael. ['m not sure if you've been trying to reach us today, We're experiencing phone problems, so we
haven't been able to receive calls or faxes, I spoke to Countrywide a few minutes ago and they state the
appraisal is still in reView, but they're going to try to get a verbal ok for me so I can inform Ms, Samaan that it's
alright to release the appraisal contingency,

VICTOR,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE... IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO TAKE THIS DEAtf_F:tH'E
'C~CEL~O'.fJlE","AMALL FOR IT. .. THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD SEE HAPPENING vvotttt:H3E TO
OFFER'MR ZERNIK AN EXTENSION OF ESCROW BY AT LEAST nNO WEEKS AND GIVE HIM TH E RIGHT
TO REQUEST AN EARLIER CLOSE SHOULD HE LOCATE AN ALTERNATE RESIDENCE SOONER. .. IF I
COULD UTILIZE THAT AS A NEGOTIATING STANCE, PERHAPS HE WOULD CONSENT TO RESCINDING
HIS CANCELLATION ... I'M JUST NOT SURE OF ANYTHING HERE... MR. ZERNIK FEELS THA'r HE HAS
HAD NO CONSIDERATION OF HIS TIME FROM NIVIE SAMMN AS THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY
GESTURES FROM HER SIDE TO COMPLY WITH THE ALLOCATED TIME FRAMES (INCLUDING
'BOUNCING' HER INITIAL DEPOSIT CHECK) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CLOSING DATE SINCE IT
APPEARS TO SUIT HER MOVING REQUIREMENTS ... AS YOU KNOW, A ONE-SIDED DEAL 15 NOT A
GOOD DEAL FOR ANYONE... IT WOULD BE NICE TO COME TO A SATISFACTORY AGREEMENT FOR
BOTH SIDES IN THIS TRANSACTION ...1HOPE THAT I AM ABLE TO CONVINCE MR. ZERNIK OF THE
SAME.

SINCERELY,

17 A I don't know.
18 Q Do you ever recall asking Mr. Zernik to go to
19 escrow to sign a document?
20 A No, no, no. If it were to initial the original
21 RPA, which is strictly -- how can you explain it? You
22 know, the contract is what it lS. It's been countered,
23 accepted. Each counter accepts the previous counter or
24 RPA. So to have a seller initial every page typically
25 is done for the benefit of a lender who wants to see it.

9 So I always said why do we need to initial

11 would normally take it to the seller and have them

12 initial.

13 Q Some lenders would requlre to see every

14 page initialed by both buyer and seller as a condition


15 of approving the loan. Right?

16 A Could be a pre funding condition. Could be


17 anything. To get a loan approval and submit a loan
18 package you don't need that.
19 Q But some lenders require

20 A Prior to funding it may be a condition.

MOLD DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

For the property located at _2?~~dO,-==-~-=S=_~-.ll..~=~


__,",--~-Jo:::~ dated ~ - __

1. MOLD DISCLOSURE. There has been a great deal of publicity regarding the existence of mold (fungus) in homes. apart-
ments and commercial buildings. Current information indicates that some types of mold may causeihealth problems for cer-
tain individuals. :--lot all molds are detectable by a visual inspection by a Broker or even a profession4} whole house inspector.
It is also possible that the property could have a hidden mold problem (hat the Sel.ler/Lessor is nor a"ljtare of. The only way to
provide a reasonable assurance that the property does not have a mold or other health hazard problem is to retain the services
of an environmental expert who will conduct tesrs. Normally, these rests will consist of an interior kJd exterior examination
tor airborne spores and a carpet (cst but other procedures may be necessary. Any mold should be 'professionally evaluated.
Broker advises that every Buyer/Lessee should have a mold test performed by an environmental professional as either a sepa-
rate test or an add-on to their whole house inspection. This is especiaHy necessary jf any of the inspection reports or disclo-
sure documents indicate that there is evidence of past or present moisture, standing warer or water \ntrusion at the property
since most mold thrives on moisture. All inspections, including those [0 detect mold, should be completed within the inspec-
tion period established in the purchase contract. Any waiver or failure on the part of a Buyer/Lessee to complete and obtain
all appropriate tests, including those for mold, is against the advice of Broker. Broker has not and 'cannor verify whether Of
not there is any health haurd at the property.

Some insurance companies have stopped writing homeowner's insutance policies in California as well as in other states as a
result of the increase in mold claims. Many insurance companies will not write a homeowners' polidy on a home that has had
any m~ld or water .intrusion claims within the last five years. Obtaining homeowner's insurance m~ be difficult, if not more
expensIve, where either the seller or the buyer has made mold andlor water intrusion claim with the last five years. Sellers
should disclose to buyers all prior claims made to their insurance carrier regarding the property within the last five years and
need to detail all past or present water intrusion problems, even those that have been fixed. Buyer~ should assure themselves
that homeowner's insurance can be obtained on the property prior to removing their inspection andlor insurance contingency.

By signing this Disclosure Agreement. you agree that Broker shall have no further responsibility ror protecting you against
the possibility of mold contamination of the property or any resulting injury. Nothing any sales agent may say to you can
change this Agreement or the advice comained above.

Accepted and Agreed:

5 IO)Thercforc, the most dfecti\e way to handle it is to eradicate it from its root· this
(1 bbrication is all based on the misrepresentation of this single document as coming to
7 Parks atkntion all or about October 15, 200,f. This letter is an Lndemriting Status Jettee

10 II 1):\ lorcO\er. it is difficult to belie\c that this was naive error. The date of October 14.

10 21) Samaan under the guidance of Keshavarzi, skillfully shifted the focus of Samaan "

II Zcmik to the undcn\rltlng process of Samaan Loan )\pplicat;ons. The case initially was

about Samaan's bilure to perfonn on a real estate contract. But the Llcts and the law
there nas simple and clear. and Samaan had not case at (Ill based ('11 such.
22) Z;:rnik had no idea regarding events related to Samaan's loan apprO\aL and Salllaan had

a staunch ally in Countrywide San Rafael -. \lcLaurin .. Therdore. shifting the case to

13 a captive in the hands of Sarnaan in this case. Samaan's loan file included blatant and

Attached:

July 23. 2007

AtL Amberg. AU Moldawski

I write to follow up on the notice that at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday. July 24. 2007. J will appear E", Parte in
Department I of the West District of the Los Angeles County Superior Court located 21t 1725 Main Street.
Santa Monica, Califomia 90401 for:

Ex Parte application for a hearing for Order to Show Cause:


a) to Depose Mr Samuels
b) to Compel Production
c) to Set Sanctions

Please let me know if you are planning to attend on Tuesday morning.

I was hoping to meet you in court this morning to try to resolve this issue through a jOint
stipulation. in the hope that we avoid burdening the court with another appearance. Until today, I
assumed that the court would not allow any motions on discovery at this time. The ruling today
in fact allowed motions on discovery to proceed Therefore, the following issues could be
resolved:
a) THE DEPOSITION OF MR SAMUELS -- can be resolved with one sentence verified
statement:
The unsigned 1st Lien Underwriting Letter (there is only one such Underwriting Letter in
this case) was issued on October 26, 2004, as indicated in the date-time stamp in the
body of the Letter, and it was faxed out to the applicant and/or her Loan Broker on
October 26, 2004, as well, as indicated in the fax date-time stamp in the fax header
imprint, but some of the data in the body of the letter was entered manually into the
system by Diane Frazier, Underwriter, on October 14, 2004.
I truly believe that Mr Samuels owes it to himself as the President of Bet Tzedek' it is a worthy
institution, and I would not like its name associated with any controversy.

b) COMPEL PRODUCTION:
i) Only af!er I sent the em all to Mr Sam uels With a copy to a couple of R 3ubis and a Retl(ed
Judge. for the first time Countrywide adm itted that they had conducted an internal investigation
and concluded that Zernik's allegations were "without me rit." Prior to troar the standard
response to my reqL.;cst for Internal investigations or internal audit reports as reqL.;I«,?d In such
situation, was that! was "asking for documents that did not exist".
ii) Similarly. I was only very recently informed about the investigation by the Cff;ce of Thrift
Supervision That report should be produced as well.
iii) Ever Since December 2006. / protested that incorporation of blank "Conversaticn Legs, San

Rafael" in the Subpoena. According to Undervvriter DIane Frazier, such forms had never been
lIsed in San Rafael since 1989, the year that she joined CountrY\Nide. Instead. I repeatedly
requested copies of electronic notes, but was denied such, With the claim s that they did not
exist Mafia McLaurin, in a phone callm December 2006, explained to me that she and the Legal
Department determined that such were not covered by subpoenas for documents. That view of
course lS absurd. All email notes from September 1, 2004 to the present should be produced,
that include the word Samaan or Zernlk in any field, with a declaration of an authorized person
who describes that quiery method utilized,

c) SET SANCTIONS
In the context of a motion, I would ask for sanctions for the failure to comply with subpoenas for
documents (I) In total) If we resolve this with a joint stipulation, I would leave It out altogether.

Please let me know if there is a way we could avoid another court appearance, My cell is

EX PARTE APPLICATION
2 Pursuant to Rule 379 of the California Rules of Court, plaintiff Nivie
3 Samaan (hereinafter "plaintiff' or "Samaan") hereby applies Ex Parte for an order
4 appointing a discovery referee to preside over defendant Joseph Zernik's
5 ("defendant's") deposition.
6

7 Good cause exists to grant this Application because of the following


8 reasons: defendant appeared for his deposition on July 20, but was completely

9 uncooperative in providing responses. For example, at the outset of the deposition


10 Zernik asserted a standing objection that all his answers were "hypothetical" and
11 could not be presumed to be valid. On several occasions, when no questions were
12 pending, Zernik gave long speeches about irrelevant issues. Zemik also insulted
13 plaintiffs counsel when, in response to a question, instead of answering the
14 question, Zernik said "It's like is your sister is a prostitute? Did you ever say
15 that your sister was a prostitute?" (Keshavarzi Decl., Exh.,4).
16

17 The Court should grant Samaan the relief she seeks on ex parte basis
18 because Samaan's reply brief in support of her motion for summary judgment is due
19 on August 2. Samaan needs Zernik's testimony for her brief. By playing games and
20 providing evasive answers Zernik is preventing Samaan from obtaining crucial
21 evidence for her motion.

3

4 Pursuant to this Court's order, Zemik appeared for his deposition on


5 July 20. The deposition, however, lasted only two hours because of Zemik's wild

6 and outrageous antics and because Zemik provided evasive answers. The last straw
7 came in the form of an insult when Zemik, instead of answering plaintiffs counsel's
8 question, responded "It's like is your sister is a prostitute? Did you ever say that
9 your sister was a prostitute?" (Keshavarzi Decl., Exh.A).
10

11 The Court should grant Samaan the relief she seeks on ex parte basis
12 because Samaan's reply brief in support of her motion for summary judgment is due
13 on August 2. Samaan needs Zemik's testimony for her brief. By playing games and
14 providing evasive answers Zemik is preventing Samaan from obtaining crucial
15 evidence for her motion.
16

17 The court has the power to appoint a referee to supervise the


18 deposition, if necessary. The referee may be ordered to hear and determine any and
19 all discovery motions. Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 639(a)(5); Jogani v. Jogani, 141 Cal.
20 App. 4th 158, 176 (2006). "Where either party anticipates that the other will try to
21 frustrate legitimate discovery at a deposition (e.g., numerous, frivolous objections,
22 or evasive answers), the referee's presence can curtail such conduct. The Court can
23 appointment a referee on application of either party or on the court's own motion."
24 Weil & Brown, et al., California Practice Guide: Civil Procedure Before Trial,
25 § 8:743 (2007). A formal noticed motion is not required by the statute. Cal. Code
26 Civ. Proc. § 639(a).

PLAf.\ITIFF'S EX PARTE APPLICATION TOP
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" APPOf.\T DISCOVERY REFEREE
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
Here a discovery referee is necessary because Zemik is frustrating
2 legitimate discovery at his deposition by refusing to answer questions, repeatedly
3 making frivolous objections and giving evasive answers. Without a referee Zemik
4 will not provide substantive answers and will instead continue to subvert plaintiffs
5 ability to conduct discovery. The following are examples of Zemik's gamesmanship

6 and repeated refusals to answer questions during his deposition on July 20:
7

8 • At the outset of the deposition Zemik asserted a standing


9 objection that his entire testimony during his deposition and all his answers were
10 only "hypothetical" answers and that his answers could not be assumed to be valid.
11 (Keshavarzi Decl., Exh. A).
12

13 • He objected to the question "do you agree that Samaan's deadline


14 to remove the appraisal contingency was October 11, 2004" on the ground that it
15 calls for a legal conclusion, refused to answer the question and instead responded
16 with a long diatribe about possible forgery of documents in the case. (Id.)
17

18 • He refused to answer the question "when was your deadline to


19 provide a fully executed copy of the purchase agreement to escrow" on the ground
20 that he is not a lawyer and the answer calls for a legal conclusion. (Id.)
21

22 • In response to the question "did you ever tell Samaan that you
23 broker did not have any authority to enter into any agreements with her on your
24 behalf" Zemik responded: "It's like is your sister is a prostitute. Did you ever say
25 that your sister was a prostitute?" (Id.)

• He refused to answer questions about a declaration he filed with
2 the Court in November 2006, on the ground that he was not shown the original, even

3 though he H'GS the one who filed the document with the Court. (Id.)
4

5 • When shown his November 2006, declaration and asked whether


6 his statement that he did not initial every page of the Purchase Agreement and did

7 not sign page 8 of 8 until October 2004 were accurate, he objected that the Purchase

8 Agreement is ambiguous. (Id.)


9

10 • When asked whether during his tenure as a professor at USC


11 anyone ever alleged that he violated the USC employee handbook, he objected to
12 the term "alleged" and refused to answer. Od.)
13

14 The foregoing are just some examples of Zemik's conduct at his


15 deposition. Zemik's conduct is precisely the type that requires to be monitored by a
16 referee. Without a referee, Zemik will continue his abusive tactics and will continue
17 to raise baseless objections and give evasive answers. Therefore, Samaan requests
18 that the Court appoint a discovery referee and order that Zemik pay for the referee.

19 can answer afterwards on the /TKPWROULGSDZ that calls for
20 a legal conclusion as to the term of the contract. To

22 conclusion he's can answer.

DEFENDANT (JOSEPH ZERNIK) MOTION TO EXPUNGE LIS


PENDENS;
MOVING PARTY (COUNTRYWIDE) MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE
ORDER;

Matter is called for hearing.


All parties acknowledge receipt of the Court's
tentative ruling and submit on the tentative ruling.
The motion of defendant Joseph Zernik to expunge lis
pendens is DENIED. Defendant has failed to
establish that the Court's previous ruling on
November 9, 2006 was based on fraudulent or false
evidence presented by plaintiff. Defendant has also
failed to show that the lis pendens was not properly
served. Counsel for plaintiff is ordered to give
notice of this ruling.
The motion of non-party Countrywide Home Loans for a
protective order is GRANTED. Defendant Joseph
Zernik is directed to communicate solely with
Countrywide's designated counsel, Todd A. Boock, and
no other officers or employees regarding the present
action. The proposed order is signed and effective
as of this date. Counsel for Countrywide is ordered
to give notice of this ruling.

CCP 170.6 - JUDGE NEIDORF
~ATURE OF PROCEEDI~GS:

In this case, defendant moves to expunge the lis


pendens arguing that plaintiff cannot establish the
probable validity of her claims. ZERNIK asserts
that plaintiff failed to timely remove the appraisal
contingency which gave him the right to cancel the
escrow. He further argues that plaintiff's
opposition to the prior motion to expunge was based
on fraudulent arguments and documents. However, the
declarations and evidence provided by plaintiff
continue to raise a question as to whether ZERNIK
had submitted a fully executed copy of the Purchase
Agreement to ~ara Escrow as of October 22, 2004.
The documents submitted by defendant simply do not
establish that plaintiff has engaged in any fraud or
failed to properly serve the lis pendens on him.
Again, there are too many factual issues that cannot
be decided here, including whether SAMAAN was
oready, willing and ableo to proceed with the
purchase of the property. Therefore, the motion to
expunge lis pendens is DENIED.
COUNTRYWIDE seeks a narrowly tailored protective
order requiring that ZERNIK direct all future
communications to COUNTRYWIDE's designated counsel
and precluding him from directly phoning, e-mailing
or otherwise contacting its represented officers and
employees. First, the motion is properly supported
by the declarations of in-house counsel Todd A.
Boock and attorney of record John W. Amberg, which
set forth first-hand experiences with and actions
taken In response to ZERNIK's conduct towards

CCP 170.6 - JUDGE NEIDORF
NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

COUNTRYWIDE. Second, the Court finds that


COUNTRYWIDE has shown "good cause" for the
protective order sought. ZERNIK has failed to
establish the validity of his communications with
COUNTRYWIDE's officers and employees. If
COUNTRYWIDE has failed to comply with a discovery
obligation, ZERNIK's recourse is to file a discovery
motion with the Court. Any assertion that
COUNTRYWIDE is somehow involved in wrongdoing is not
supported by anything other than hearsay and
conjecture. Moreover, since ZERNIK is representing
himself in this action, his assertion that
COUNTRYWIDE is improperly applying attorney
standards to him is not well taken. A litigant
appearing in propria persona is generally held to
the same restrictive rules and procedures as an
attorney. the rules of civil procedure must apply
equally to parties represented by counsel and those
who forgo attorney representation; such a party is
to be treated like any other party and is entitled
to the same, but no greater consideration than other
litigants and attorneys. (Rappleyea v. Campbell
(1994) 8 Cal. 4th 975, 984-985; see Barton v. New
United Mocor Mfg. (1996) 43 Cal.App.4th 1200, 1210.)
COUNTRYWIDE has a right to be protected from
unwarranted annoyance, embarrassment or oppression.
Since the protective order sought simply directs
ZERNIK to communicate with COUNTRYWIDE's designated
counsel, there is nothing to show any infringement
on ZERNIK's free speech or other rights.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
I. INTRODUCTION
')
{T p until the tiling of the instant motion to expunge the lis pendens plaintiff Nivie
3 II Samaan has been largely successful in her bid to focus the attention in the case on irrelevant
-+ II issues. \\hilt: continuing to conceal her fraud. Defendant Joseph Zernik has now set forth
5 II numerous instances of fraud committed by plaintiff in her failed attempt to purchase Zernik· s
6 II home. Her li'aud includes (I) fraud in inducing Zernik to enter into a purported agreement to
7 II sell his home. (2) fraud in convincing him not to cancel the escrmv at an earlier date. and (3)
8 II continuing fraud in misrepresenting the true facts underlying the transaction in order to
9 II prcvail in this lawsuit. Plaintiff Nivie Samaan has not offered any admissible evidence to
10 II attempt to contradict the true facts presented by Zernik because she cannot do so. Instead.
11 II Plainti ff presents a slanted and incomplete picture of the facts of this case. hoping that the
12 II truth in the detai Is will be overlooked. Indeed. rather than meet her burden of proof by
13 II setting forth any admissible evidence in support of her version of the facts. Samaan has
14 II resorted to petty attacks by calling lernik a liar and claiming that his theories are ··absurd.··
15 II The burden of proof is in this motion is on Samaan to establish by a preponderance of the
16 II evidence that she has a probable validity of prevailing on her claim. Samaan has failed to
17 II meet this burden. and therefore. the motion to expunge the Iis pendens on lernik·s property
18 II must be expunged.
191111. STATEMENT OF FACTS

20 II Rather than reiterate Zernik·s statement of facts (most of \\hich was completely
21 II ignored hy Samaan and uncontroverted by her opposition papers), 7ernik will highlight of a
'), II few salient discrepancies in Samaan's opposition papers.

23 II While Samaan is \\ell \ ersed at shining the attention from the salient facts and focusing
24 lion irrelevant issues the following facts are the relevant facts in this case:
,-
-) A. Samaan Fraudulently Induced Zernik to Enter Into an Alleged Agreement
to Sell his home
26
27 II Samaan has offered no evidence to refute the facts of Samaan's fraudulent
28 II inducement in lernik' s initial moving papers. Instead. Samaan summarily dismisses this

-\-
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" Case No. SC087..\00
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
argument as being "absurd". HO\\TYCr. lernik has set forth numerous instances \\here
! II Samaan fraudulently induced him to enter into the contract. including through the
3 [I presentation of a fraudulent pre-qualitication letter and continued misrepresentations by
-+ II Samaan regarding her occupation. tinancial condition and ability to obtain a loan for the
5 II Property. lernik Declaration ("Zernik Dec!."). H3-let.. Samaan. \\ho bears the burden of
6 II proof in this Illotion. never addn:sses or denies any of her fraudulent dforts to induce Zernik

7 [I to enter into the Contract.


8 B. Samaan Fraudulently Misrepresented Her Ability to Obtain a Purchase
Money Loan for the Property During the Escrow Period
9
10 The purported purchase agreement states -'Buyer shall act diligently and in good faith

I1 to obtain the designated loans." Samaan did none of that. instead she submitted fraudulent

12 loan applications and when they failed she blamed Zernik. The facts are clear. Samaan never

13 got approYed for a loan for the purchase of the Property. Under the purported purchase

14 agreement she \vas obligated to obtain a loan or cancel the contract within the tirst 17 days

15 after acceptance. The contract does not require Samaan to get a loan from Countrywide. it

16 merely requires her to get a loan or cancel the contract. Therefore, Samaan' s argument that

17 Zernik somehO\\ prevented her from getting a loan for the Property fails for two reasons: ( 1)

18 Samaan had the option to get a loan from any lender she chose and (2) Samaan could not get

19 a loan from Countrywide because of her O\vn actions. not through any hlUlt of Zernik.

20 The terms of the purported purchase and sale agreement make the sale of Zernik"s

21 Property contingent upon Samaan's ability to get a loan for the Property. not contingent on

22 her ability to get a loan from Countrywide, as Samaan \\ould ha\e this Court believe.

23 Therefore. \\ hen Samaan discovered that she could not get a loan from ('ountry\\ide she

24 should ha\c sought out other lenders. rather than blame Zernik.

25 Instead. Samaan argues that Zernik somehow pre\ented her from obtaining a loan

26 from Countrywide. HO\vevcr. in her opposition papers she fails to present any evidence to

27 contradict Icrnik's detailed analysis of Samaan's failed loan application with Countrywide.

CCP 170.6 - JUDGE NEIDORF


NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

The original trial date in this case was July 13,


2007 and was continued twice to August 10, 2007 and
then to September 7, 2007. The Court orders did not
include a continuance of the discovery and motion
cut-off dates. However, in light of Dr. Zernik's own
conduct resulting in delays of his deposition, the
Court finds that he is estopped from relying on the
cut-off dates to oppose these motions. (Sears,
Roebuck & Co. v. National Union Fire Ins. Co. of
Pittsburgh (2005) 131 Cal.App.4th 1342, 1351;
Cuadros v. Superior Court (1992) 6 Cal.App.4th 671,
675.) An abuse of discretion standard applies to
this issue and, under the substantial evidence
rules, the Court resolves all evidentiary conflicts
in plaintiff's favor. (Id.) Therefore, the argument
that these motions were filed in violation of the
discovery and motion cut-off dates is rejected.
Starting with a date on February 14, 2007, Dr.
Zernik's deposition was canceled and rescheduled
several times for several reasons, including giving
Dr. Zernik additional time to retain new counsel, a
schedule conflict for Mr. Keshavarzi, Mr.
Keshavarzi's illness, etc. At no time was a
deposition set to go forward on a particular date
with Dr. Zernik simply failing to appear. The
parties are simply at an impasse in selecting a
mutually agreeable date for the deposition. The
Court orders that the parties meet and confer to

NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

select a mutually agreeable date before July 20,


2007. The date selected can only be changed or
altered by Court order and the motion to compel the
deposition of Joseph Zernik will be taken off
calendar as MOOT. Any request for monetary sanctions
is denied in any event due to the circumstances on
both sides that delayed or altered the previously
selected deposition dates.
Regarding the motion to Deem Requests for Admission
Admitted, Dr. Zernik's argument that he was not
properly served with the RFAs fails in light of the
fact that he did, in fact, receive the documents and
failed to seek a Court order quashing service of the
requests. By failing to timely respond to the
requests, Dr. Zernik has waived all objections to
the requests. (Code of Civil Procedures
§2033.280(a).) Two proofs of service were attached
to the RFAs, showing that they were served
personally and by mail on May 14, 2007. The last
proof of service showed service by mail. Dr. Zernik
states that he mistakenly relied on the mailed
service in determining the deadline for the
responses, which would have been June 18, 2007, the
date the first responses were served. Under the
circumstances, the Court finds that this constitutes
a "mistake" for purposes of granting relief from
waiver.

NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

a response in substantial compliance with Code of


Civil Procedures §2033.240, pursuant to Code of
Civil Procedures §2033.240, responses shall be as
complete and straightforward as possible as the
information reasonably available to the responding
party permits and must contain an admission, denial
or statement claiming an inability to admit or deny.
The Court finds that Zernik's amended responses,
while not ideal, are in substantial compliance with
these requirements. If plaintiff believes that the
responses are deficient, she may move for an order
compelling a further response.
The motion to deem the RFAs admitted is DENIED.
Requests for monetary sanctions are denied because
if a request for sanctions is included in a
discovery motion, the notice of motion must contain
a request for sanctions and must name all parties
and attorneys against whom sanctions are being
sought, specify the type of sanction sought, and
cite the authority for such sanctions. (Code of
civil Procedures §2023.040.) The notice of motion
here does not mention monetary sanctions.
Counsel for Defendant is ordered to given notice of
the Court's ruling.

NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

OFF THE RECORD IN CHAMBERS:


The Court reads and considers the affidavit filed
this date.
ON THE RECORD:
The Court finds the Affidavit pursuant to 170.3 of
the Code of Civil Procedures filed this date, is
incorrect and announces it will be ruled upon as an
Affidavit pursuant to 170.6 of the Code of Civil
Procedures and is DENIED as untimely.
The Court's order is as follows:
Defendant Joseph Zernik has filed a pleading as
opposition to a motion with purports to include a
statement of disqualification for cause pursuant to
Code of Civil Procedure section 170.3, contending
that the assigned judge is biased. The pleading
may also be intended as a peremptory challenge
pursuant to Code of civil Procedure section 170.6.
To the extent that the pleading is intended as a
peremptory challenge pursuant to Code of civil
Procedure section 170.6, it is untimely as this
matter is assigned to the undersigned for all
purposes, and the motion was not filed within
fifteen days of the defendant's appearance as
mandated by that section and Local Rule 7.5(a) The

NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

motion is also not in a sufficient or proper form.


To the extent the pleading is intended as a
statement of disqualification for cause, it is
difficult to discern what the contentions are that
form the basis for disqualification for cause. The
rambling pleading complains primarily of acts of
others than the judge. As best as can be discerned,
disqualification is sought on the basis of
defendant's opinion and disagreement with the
court's rulings. The pleading is also in improper
form, as such a statement should be separate and not
included within another pleading. McCaratney v.
Superior Court (1990) 223 Cal.app.3d 1334, 1340.
In any event, the pleading demonstrates on its face
no legal grounds for disqualification. It is
stricken pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section
170.4, subdivision (b).
Code of Civil Procedure section 170.3(c) (1) requires
that the disqualification statement set forth "the
facts constituting the grounds" for disqualification
of the judge. Mere conclusions of the pleader are
insufficient. In re Morelli (1970) 11 Cal.App.3d
819, 843; Urias v. Harris Farms, Inc. (1991) 234
Cal.App.3d 415, 426.
The statement of disqualification cannot be based
upon information and belief, hearsay, or other

NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

The original trial date in this case was July 13,


2007 and was continued twice to August 10, 2007 and
then to September 7, 2007. The Court orders did not
include a continuance of the discovery and motion
cut-off dates. However, in light of Dr. Zernik's own
conduct resulting in delays of his deposition, the
Court finds that he is estopped from relying on the
cut-off dates to oppose these motions. (Sears,
Roebuck & Co. v. National Union Fire Ins. Co. of
Pittsburgh (2005) 131 Cal.App.4th 1342, 1351;
Cuadros v. Superior Court (1992) 6 Cal.App.4th 671,
675.) An abuse of discretion standard applies to
this issue and, under the substantial evidence
rules, the Court resolves all evidentiary conflicts
in plaintiff's favor. (Id.) Therefore, the argument
that these motions were filed in violation of the
discovery and motion cut-off dates is rejected.
Starting with a date on February 14, 2007, Dr.
Zernik's deposition was canceled and rescheduled
several times for several reasons, including giving
Dr. Zernik additional time to retain new counsel, a
schedule conflict for Mr. Keshavarzi, Mr.
Keshavarzi's illness, etc. At no time was a
deposition set to go forward on a particular date
with Dr. Zernik simply failing to appear. The
parties are simply at an impasse in selecting a
mutually agreeable date for the deposition. The
Court orders that the parties meet and confer to

NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

select a mutually agreeable date before July 20,


2007. The date selected can only be changed or
altered by Court order and the motion to compel the
deposition of Joseph Zernik will be taken off
calendar as MOOT. Any request for monetary sanctions
is denied in any event due to the circumstances on
both sides that delayed or altered the previously
selected deposition dates.
Regarding the motion to Deem Requests for Admission
Admitted, Dr. Zernik's argument that he was not
properly served with the RFAs fails in light of the
fact that he did, in fact, receive the documents and
failed to seek a Court order quashing service of the
requests. By failing to timely respond to the
requests, Dr. Zernik has waived all objections to
the requests. (Code of civil Procedures
§2033. 280 (a) .) Two proofs of service were attached
to the RFAs, showing that they were served
personally and by mail on May 14, 2007. The last
proof of service showed service by mail. Dr. Zernik
states that he mistakenly relied on the mailed
service in determining the deadline for the
responses, which would have been June 18, 2007, the
date the first responses were served. Under the
circumstances, the Court finds that this constitutes
a "mistake" for purposes of granting relief from
waiver.

NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

Civil Procedures §2033.240, responses shall be as
complete and straightforward as possible as the
information reasonably available to the responding
party permits and must contain an admission, denial
or statement claiming an inability to admit or deny_
The Court finds that Zernik's amended responses,
while not ideal, are in substantial compliance with
these requirements. If plaintiff believes that the
responses are deficient, she may move for an order
compelling a further response.
The motion to deem the RFAs admitted is DENIED.
Requests for monetary sanctions are denied because
if a request for sanctions is included in a
discovery motion, the notice of motion must contain
a request for sanctions and must name all parties
and attorneys against whom sanctions are being
sought, specify the type of sanction sought, and
cite the authority for such sanctions. (Code of
Civil Procedures §2023.040.) The notice of motion
here does not mention monetary sanctions.

NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

OFF THE RECORD IN CHAMBERS:


The Court reads and considers the affidavit filed
this date.
ON THE RECORD:
The Court finds the Affidavit pursuant to 170.3 of
the Code of Civil Procedures filed this date, is
incorrect and announces it will be ruled upon as an
Affidavit pursuant to 170.6 of the Code of Civil
Procedures and is DENIED as untimely.
The Court's order is as follows:
Defendant Joseph Zernik has filed a pleading as
opposition to a motion with purports to include a
statement of disqualification for cause pursuant to
Code of Civil Procedure section 170.3, contending
that the assigned judge is biased. The pleading
may also be intended as a peremptory challenge
pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 170.6.
To the extent that the pleading is intended as a
peremptory challenge pursuant to Code of Civil
Procedure section 170.6, it is untimely as this
matter is assigned to the undersigned for all
purposes, and the motion was not filed within
fifteen days of the defendant's appearance as
mandated by that section and Local Rule 7.S(a) The

\CCP 170.6 - JUDGE NEIDORF

To the extent the pleading is intended as a


statement of disqualification for cause, it is
difficult to discern what the contentions are that
form the basis for disqualification for cause. The
rambling pleading complains primarily of acts of
others than the judge. As best as can be discerned,
disqualification is sought on the basis of
defendant's opinion and disagreement with the
court's rulings. The pleading is also in improper
form, as such a statement should be separate and not
included within another pleading. McCaratney v.
Superior Court (1990) 223 Cal.app.3d 1334, 1340.
In any event, the pleading demonstrates on its face
no legal grounds for disqualification. It is
stricken pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section
170.4, subdivision (b).
Code of civil Procedure section 170.3(c) (1) requires
that the disqualification statement set forth "the
facts constituting the grounds" for disqualification
of the judge. Mere conclusions of the pleader are
insufficient. In re Morelli (1970) 11 Cal.App.3d
819, 843; Urias v. Harris Farms, Inc. (1991) 234
Cal.App.3d 415, 426.

21 Defendant Joseph Zernik has filed a pleading as opposition to a motion \\ ith purports to

22 include a statement ofdisqualitication for cause pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section

23 II 170.3, contending that the assigned judge is biased. The pleading may also be intended as a

2~ peremptory challenge pursuant to Code ofCivi! Procedure section 170.6.

25 To the extent that the pleading is intended as a peremptory challenge pursuant to Code of

26 II Civil Procedure section] 70.6, it is untimely as this matter is assigned to the undersigned for all

27 II puqloses. and the motion was not filed \vithin fifteen days of the defendant's appearance as

28 II mandated hy that section and Local Rule 7.5(a). The motion is also not in a surticient or proper

I

form.
! To the extent the pleading is intended as a statement of disqualification for cause, It is

3 difficult to discem what the contentions are that form the basis for disqualification for cause.

4 rhe rambling pleading complains primarily of acts of others than the judge. As best as can be

5 discerned, disqualification is sought on the basis of defendant's opinion and disagreement with

6 the court's rulings. The pleading is also in improper form, as such a statement should be separate

7 and not included within another pleading. j\;!cCaratnev v. Superior Court ( 1(90) 223 Ca1.app.3d

8 1334, 1340.

9 In any event, the pleading demonstrates on its face no legal grounds for disqual i fication.

10 It is stricken pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 170.4, subdivision (b).

II Code of Civil Procedure § 170.3(c)( I) requires that the disqualification statement set forth

12 "the facts constituting the grounds" for disqualification of tile judge. Mere conclusions of the

I '"
-) pleader are insufficient. In re l\;forelli (1970) II Cal.App.3d 819, 843; Urias 1'. Harris Farms,

14 file (1991) 234 Cal.App.3d 415, 426.

15 The statcment of di squa Ii tication cannot be based upon in formation and be IieC hearsay,

16 or other inadmissible evidence. See United Farm Workers o./America, A.FL-CIO v. Superior

17 Court (] 985) 170 Cal.App.3d 97, note 6 at 106 (disqualification cannot be based upon hearsay or

18 other inadmissible evidence). Cr, Anastos v. Lee (2004) I J8 CaI.App.4th 1314, 1319

19 (declarations in support ofa (ode of Civil Procedure section 473 motion must include proper

20 foundation, i.e., personal knowledge.)

21 A par1y's belief as to a Judge's bias and prejudice is irrelevant and not controlling in a

22 motion to disqualify for cause, as the test applied is an objective one. United Farm iVorkers oj
,"I
",j America v. Superior Court (1985) 170 Cal.App.3d 97, 104; Stanford ['Ilin,>rlitl' v. Superior

24 Court (1985) 173 Cal.App.3d 403,408 ("thc litigants' necessarily partisan views do not provide

25 the applicable frame of reference."

26 Rulings and tindings do not constitute a valid basis for disqualitication. As stated by the

27 Califclrnia Supreme Court in People r. Guerra (2006) 37 Cal. 4th 1067, 1112, "a trial court's

2R numerous rulings against a party--even \vhen erroneous--do not establish a charge ofjudieial

bias. especially when they are subject to revie\v,"

} /I Conclusion
3 II To the extent the pleading is intended as a motion pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure

4 II section 170.6, it is denied as untimely and not in proper form. To the extent the pleading is

5 II intended as a verified statement of disqualification pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section

6 II 170.3, it is stricken pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 170A, subdivision (b) on the grounds

7 II that it demonstrates on its face no legal grounds for disqualification. The parties are reminded
8 II that this determination of the question of the disqualification is not an appealable order and may

9 " be reviewed only by a writ of mandate from the Court of Appeal sought within 10 days of notice

10 II to the parties of the decision. In the event that a timely writ is sought and an appellate court

II II determines that an answer should have been timely filed, such an answer is tiled herewith. See

9 given 1hat it was kd by the manager. amounted to a material dejidency.
10 10) Therefore. since my lirst communications \\ ilh the legal depat1ment in December :2006.
\\ it \\as ckar to me that they are basically t0cuscd on coYeTing up,
1.2 :21) I als,) bclie"e. in paI1 based on the '.\nrds of \laria \kLaurin. that she and the Legal
13 Department tt'1gether prepared the first production in response TO my subpoena through .\.tt
14 Cummings in ,\ug 2006.
1.5 22) From October 2005 to December 2006 I \vas entirely unil1\ohed in this IitigatlOn. and

16 allov"ed \lr Cummings to manage my interests. That was a grave mistake.


17 23) I hold and believe that around August 2006. and the production of that suhpoena. critical

IS events took place. that now show in full volume. Both the Legal Depat1ment and Att

- L Introduction

3 Countrywide Home] JXlnS, Inc. ("CountrY\vide") is not a party to this L1\\'suit, but

~ (:ountr} wide and its officers and emplm"ees arc the targets of a campaign of harassment by

5 Defendant Joseph !'ernik ("!'ernik"). Countrywide respectfully requests that the Court issue

6 the carefulh"-tailorcd and limited protcctiYC order lodged here\vith, which directs Zernik to

7 communicate solely with Count0\vide's designated legal counsel regarding this litigation, and

8 not with the company's represented officers and employees.

9 Through its in-house counsel, Todd .\. Boock, Count~\vide repeatedly requested

10 !'ernik to communicate solely with its designated legal counsel. It has been forced to write

17 dispute, Count~"wide had no alternative but to file this i\lotion for Protective Order.
<
III
18 !'ernik attempts to justify his harassing emails by making several contradictory and

19 unsupported claims. First, he claims that Countr}'\vidc did not comply \vith his discovery

20 requests. Hmveycr, if !'ernik believed that Count0"\vide had not fully complied, he could

21 haH filed a motion to compel, but neHr did so. Second, he claims he is not seeking

22 discm"ery, but is conducting an imTstigation. Howenr, this is contradicted by his so-called

23 disc()\Trv cost-benefit analysis; moreonr, the argument is frin)lous since ,\ngelo \Iozilo,

24 CC)1.lI1try\\"ide's Chairman and Chief !':xecutin: Officer, and Sandor Samuels, Count0'wide's

25 Chief J.egal Officer, the officers whom !'crnik has bombarded with threatening emails,

26 letters and phone caUs, ha\"c had no contact \\"hatsoenr with this casc and no personal

27 knowledge or information. Zernik is also t~·ing to compel Countywide to sign a declaration

28 attesting to "facts" that the compan}- disputes, but Count0\vide has no obligation to proyide

Mr. Zemik,

I am in receipt of your letter dated March 26, 2007, but sent to me via e-mail on March 27,2007.

Your letter has raised numerous issues that we are looking into at this time. Please be advised that we
are diligently researching the issues raised by your letter and will comply with our legal obligations as to
your subpoenas.

In my March 23rd e-mail to your former attorney Zachary Schorr, I requested that we set up a
meet-and-confer telephone call. Since he is no longer representing you, I am making the same request to
you. Please provide me with a few convenient times to call you on Monday or Tuesday, April 2nd or 3rd.
This should give me sufficient time to fully review and research the issues raised by your and Mr. Schorr's
letters, and to determine whether additional responsive documents exist

In the interim, we kindly ask that, since you are aware that Countrywide is represented by counsel, you
direct all communications regarding this matter solely to me.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation, and I look forward to speaking with you.

DEMANDED BY 5:00PM ON THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2007

t-lar"h 28, 2007

Dear Mr boock and Ms Garcia:

You had more than enough time to consider this subpoena, first served
in August 2006' You had sufficient time to prepare the repeat
subpoena in January 2007, but chose not to address the concerns you
were informed of in December 2006.

Please respond to demands in my letter by Thursday, March 29, 2007, 5:00pm.

Depending on your response by that deadline I may be interested in


meeting you next week, on Tuesday. You need to show some intention to
comply, not lust obfuscate.

Messages in this regard are also copied to Mariela Garcia, since as


the person who signed on the declaration of Custodian of Records, she
may suffer consequences in person, e.g, against her paralegal
license, and she may be interested in hiring her own legal
representation, given the conflict of interest that would not allow
you to represent her.

If Ms Garcia provides her attorney's email address, I would be glad


to forward messages to him.

Sincerely,

Joseph Zernik

Mr. Zernik.

I am writing to respond to your most recent e-mail, sent earlier today.

In your e-mail. you raised a concern that we have had since August 2006 to respond to the issues
discussed in your recent correspondence. We respectfully disagree. The subpoena you served in
August 2006 was entirely different than the subpoena you served in January 2007. The August 2006
subpoena was a generalized request for documents relating to a loan application. The January 2007
subpoenas sought nineteen separate categories of documents, many of which included subcategories.
We timely responded to both subpoenas and produced documents.

Most of the issues that your attorney raised in his March 19, 2007 letter and the new issues you raised in
your March 27, 2007 letter were not raised by any of the subpoenas. They were brought to my attention
for the first time in these recent letters. Please note that we are not a party to the lawsuit, were never
served with the complaint and are not as familiar with the issues in the case as you appear to be. As I
explained in my prior e-mail. we are attempting to diligently respond to your letter and research the issues
you have raised. Unfortunately, this takes some time to accomplish, and we intend to take the necessary
amount of time to comply with our legal obligations.

Your attempts to "meet and confer" by sending us lengthy letters and lists of demands are not in good
faith. Giving us less than 48 hours to respond to these letters is also not in good faith, nor does it follow
the spirit of meet and confer contemplated by the Los Angeles County Superior Court local rules. Each
and every time we have attempted to engage in a reasonable meet and confer with you or your attorney,
we have been rebuffed or ignored. We will take the appropriate time to research the issues raised in your
letters and, once we have done that, we will engage in a substantive discussion with you about the issues
you have raised. We would like to work with you to resolve each of these issues and are more than
willing to take the time to go over each of them with you. In that vein, I again ask you when you are
available to meet and confer over the telephone on Monday or Tuesday, April 2nd or 3rd? Please provide
me with a few times that you are available, I will let you know what works with my schedule and I will call
you at that time.

Incidentally. while your March 27, 2007 letter makes reference to certain exhibits, those exhibits are not
attached to your letter (only descriptions of the exhibits are induded). So that we are certain we know to
whot you refer in your letter, please provide the exllibits as SUUlI CIS pussible.

Finally, your threats against Ms. Garcia are wholly inappropriate and not well taken. Please immediately
cease making idle threats against Countrywide employees in general and Ms. Garcia in particular. I
represent Ms. Garcia, and I again reiterate that any communications to Countrywide or its employees
should be directed solely to me.

Mr. Zemik, I assure you that we are working diligently to respond to your subpoenas and letters. We hope
to work with you to resolve your issues and move forward.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation, and I look forward to speaking with you next week.

URGENT- LETTER TO ATT BOOCK. TIME RESPONSE DEMANDED BY 5:00PM ON


THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2007

Dear Att. Boock:

I am available to meet and confer by phone today, Thursday, from 7:00am to 9:00am, and from
2:00-3:00pm in the afternoon. This is a last minute notice, but events in this case and your
obfuscation over a year and a half do not leave me much choice. 1 am offering you these times
for phone conversations in addition to the many opportunities you had over the last year and a
half to submit additional information in writing. I am sending this notice by email to you and
Mariela Garcia and r am also leaving you phone messages in this regard.

I am doing so in order to offer you an opportunity to clarify before 5:00pm today, Thursday,
your reasons for refusing to comply with a legal subpoena for the documents related to loan
applications by Nivie Samaan.

" As I explained in my prior e-mail, we are attempting to diligent[y respond to your letter
and research
the issues you have raised. Unfortunately, this takes some time to accomplish, and we
intend to take the necessary amount of time to comply with our Iega[ obligations." Your
excuses for failing and refusing to comply with a legal subpoena since August 2006 can
no longer be accepted as written in good faith.

There is no legitimate and/or reasonable excuse for refusing for over a year and a half to print
out the full and complete CommentslDocuments/Conversation Log for Samaan's loans from your
computerized system. Parts of that log, related to Exception Approval by the Corporate
Underwriting Support Office were already provided. There is no reason not to provide a full and
complete copy afthat log.

Is a year and a half not sufficient "amount of time to accomplish" a printout of such log?

402 / 745 /) , .)

Court File: "Volume IV Continued"


Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
"we will engage in a substantive discussion" - what kind of discussion is there to engage in
regarding your obligation to print out and provide me with that log?

At some point your arguments start sounding exactly like what they are - a farce and a
perversion of the law by the Legal Department of a major corporation. You must also be aware
that my concerns are aggravated by recent reports that equated Countrywide with Enron.

Let me be clear. The subpoena of August 2006 was prepared by Att Cummings. The Subpoena
of Jan 2007, and all following Meet and Confer letters (copy ofa recent one is attached below),
whether on attorney's letterhead or not, were drafted by me, so that I am very familiar with each
and every item discussed in them.

The materials sought in all of these communications with Countrywide are the same as those
requested in the very first subpoena by Att Cummings - any and all documents pertaining to
Loan Applications by Borrower Nivie Samaan for the Property at 320 South Peck Drive, Beverly
Hi lis. Your attempts to claim otherwise are additional excuses for your obfuscation and refusal
to comply with a Court ordered subpoena.

You mention that you are not a party to this litigation. These communications are also meant to
serve you due notice and offer you the opportunity to make amends. Actions and omissions by
Maria McLaurin and others in Countrywide in October- 2004 to January 2005, and in addition
by sending a letter signed by Maria McLaurin on behalf of Countrywide for use by Plaintiff in
this litigation. and in addition by failure by Countrywide to completely respond to subpoena in
August 2006, and in addition by failure and refusal by Countrywide, Todd Boock, Mariela
Garcia, and others to comply with a legal subpoena since January 2007, it becomes apparent that
Countrywide (referring here to CFC and all its affiliates), individuals named above, and others
are in fact accomplices in this blatant fraud and deceit.

You requested that I provide the exhibits, and I do so in a fax/email following, although all of
them, with one exception, are materials produced by Countrywide. I am also producing two
additional exhibits for your review, which have been discussed many times in previous
communications:
a) Loan Appl ications (I 003) by Nivie Samaan, as produced by Countrywide, demonstrating
blatant adulterations, produced by Countrywide in response to subpoena without any
accompanying Internal or External Audit documents to justify this aberration.
b) A deliberately misleading paper document titled Conversation Log, San Rafael Branch,
produced by Countrywide. Maria McLaurin, Branch Manager, San Rafael Branch, indicated in a
phone conversation with me that it was her decision to insert this document instead of the true
and correct, full and complete printout of the computer-based
Comments/Documents/Conversation Log of Samaan's loan applications. In contrast, Diane
Frazier, the duly authorized Underwriter for Samaan loans, whose authority was usurped by
Maria McLaurin, indicated in a phone call with me that such paper Conversation Logs have
never been used in the San Rafael Branch at least since 1989, the year she joined Countrywide!
Countrywide, Todd Boock, and Mariela Garcia were warned in person, by phone and by written
communications by this writer, prior to the January 2007 subpoena, that such documents were

,
I) l
403 / 745
I

Court File: "Volume IV Continued"


Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
produced in the August 2006 subpoena. Vet the same documents without any justification were
produced again in response to the subpoean of January 2007!

"I represent Ms. Garcia, and I again reiterate that any communications to Countrywide or its
employees should be directed solely to me." I find it hard to believe that this statement is true.
Mariela Garcia, a paralegal in your office, signed as an individual on behalf of Countrywide, as
the duly appointed Custodian of Records. If I receive a direct communication from Mariela
Garcia that states that you indeed represent her as an individual, while at the same time
representing Countrywide and that she is aware of the conflict of interests inherent in such
representation, I would cease to copy her on such communications.

Att Boock, your obfuscation is no longer tolerable. Time is of the essence - your actions
and omissions, as an individual and as a representative of Countrywide have caused me
substantial financial damages through the denial of a motion to expunge lis pendens in
November 2006, opposed with critical support with Countrywide and Maria McLaurin,
and are causing critical damage to my defense in Samaan vs. Zernik, soon to be heard in
Court.

Sincerely,

Mr. Zernik,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Unfortunately, I am unavailable to have a meet and confer discussion with you today. However, I am
available on Monday, April 2nd or Tuesday. April3rd. Please let me know some convenient times to call
you during either of those days. I will let you know what works with my schedule and I will call you then.

I again repeat my request that you refrain from contacting Countrywide employees directly, including
Mariela Garcia. It is my understanding that you have left several voicemails for Ms. Garcia today. As an
employee of Countrywide, Ms. Garcia is represented by counsel, and she will not communicate with you
directly. Please direct all communications to the company solely to me.

Incidentally, I did not receive any faxes from you today, and I note that the fax number you have indicated
for me on your e-mail is actually my telephone number. My fax number is (818) 871-4669. While I
understand that the exhibits were mostly culled from documents Countrywide produced to you, we did
produce several hundred pages of documents, and it would be helpful for us to know exactly to which
documents you refer. I look forward to receiving your fax and the eXhibits.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation. and I look forward to speaking with you early next week.

Or. Zernik,

Thank you for speaking with Sandy Shatz and me earlier today.

First, I want to reiterate to you that, as you know, Passover begins at sundown this evening, and I plan to
celebrate it with my family. You have proposed making an ex parte application tomorrow morning, and I
requested that, in light of the jewish holiday and the preparation that goes into it, you wait until Thursday
or Friday for your ex parte application. You have not confirmed whether or not you will move the hearing
to Thursday or Friday, but told us that you would send an e-mail with a proposed stipulation. I received
your proposed stipulation and am happy to agree to having your motion heard on no less than 16 court
days' notice (plus 5 days if you send it by mail). I will not agree to the excess wording, though, and there
is no time for me to prepare the stipulation and file it today. But you now have it in writing that we will
agree to have your motion heard on at least 16 court days' notice, which should be sufficient to take off
the ex parte. I will again tell you that we will move for sanctions against you if you force me to interrupt my
observance of the Jewish holidays and appear at your ex parte application tomorrow. As I said in my
previous e-mail, courts expect counsel to change hearing dates when it inconveniences other counsel,
and this court will not be pleased if you refuse to do so. I also again point out the numerous defects in
your notice, including the lack of a time and location.

We understand that the ex parte application relates to a motion to compel production of other documents
pursuant to a subpoena served on Countrywide. Today, we met and conferred concerning that
subpoena, and we are in the process of looking for other documents. Accordingly, because we are still
meeting and conferring on these issues, any motion to compel is premature.

Second, I repeat what I have explained several times to you, that I represent the company in this matter.
Consequently, we demand that you solely communicate to me as to your subpoenas and the related
issues. To be clear, do not contact other Countrywide employees in general and Mariela Garcia in
particular. If I learn that you have continued to contact Ms. Garcia or other Countrywide employees, we
will move for a protective order and seek sanctions against you.

Finally, this is to confirm that we have produced all documents within our possession, custody and control,
which are responsive to your subpoena. However, we are presently looking for two documents: (1) Maria
McLaurin's November 6, 2006 letter to Victor Parlks - you already have this letter, but we will send it to
you again if we locate an intemal copy; and (2) the Underwriting Decision/Condition Letter that was
printed on October 26, 2004, which we discussed during our conversation. If we are able to locate these
documents, we will send them to you.

Please let me know as soon as possible whether you will persist in making your ex parte application
tomorrow. I am leaving my office at 3:45 pm, so I expect to hear from you by then. Thank you, and have
a Happy Passover.

Dr. Zernik,

Your e-mail mischaracterizes my conversation with you.

You called me this morning after you sent your ex parte notice and told me that you wanted the words "all
of the records" included in the custodian of records declaration. You said that this would be sufficient for
you to withdraw the ex parte application. I said that I would take a look at the declaration and get back to
you luter today, but you demanded that I get back to you within an hour.

I called you a short time later and said that I thought that we would be able to resolve the issue and you
would be satisfied, but I needed a little more time than an hour. I told you that I should know by the end of
the day. When you asked me to send you an e-mail, I did not say that I would nOl I said that I would
rather not until I actually have some confirmation or something concrete to say. Nonetheless, I had
planned to convey the status to you via e-mail, but was out eating lunch and just returned to my office.

In any event, I now have concrete information. We have revised the declaration, and I believe that this
resolves the issue. The new declaration is attached, and a hard copy will follow in the mail. Please
confirm that your ex parte application is off calendar.

On a related topic, we are ready to schedule a time for you to review the original loan documents. Please
provide me with several dates and times that you are available to come in and review the documents.
Obviously, next Friday, April 20th will not work, since we will be at Maria McLaurin's deposition (which you
confirmed would be going forward). I am also unavailable on Monday, April 16th.

Finally, I remind you to please direct your communications regarding the subpoenas and related topics
solely to me. Your prior threats to Ms. Garcia were completely inappropriate, and we ask that you not
communicate with her. As I have explained on numerous prior occasions, I represent Countrywide and all
of its employees in this matter.

Thank you.

Dr. Zernik,

I am in receipt of the 3 e-mails you sent to me over the weekend (one on April 14th and two on April 15th),
and I am aware of the voicemail you left for Mariela Garcia (on April 14th).

Your e-mails mischaracterize the history of this matter as it relates to Countrywide. We received and
properly responded to the subpoenas. Where you had additional questions, we have been more than
cooperative with you and took the appropriate time to accurately and completely address each of the
issues you have raised. The arbitrary deadlines you have set are unreasonable, especially since you are
aware that I was supposed to be out of the office at a deposition today. My deposition was cancelled, but
you did not know that until just now. The following responds to issues raised in your communications this
weekend:

Inspection of Original Documents

I asked you to provide me with several dates and times that you are available to come in and review the
documents. The single time you provided does not work for us. Please provide me with several dates
and times, so that we may coordinate with all parties.

Request to Meet With Mariera Garcia

You have requested to meet with Mariela Garcia in person. We do not see any reason for this meeting,
especially in light of your recent threats against Ms. Garcia. We have provided you copies of the
responsive documents and will make the originals available for your review.

Your Continued Direct Communication With Ms . Garcia

This is the last time I am going to tell you that, as an employee of Countrywide, Mariela Garcia is
represented by counsel and is not to be contacted directly by you. As a represented party, she is not
going to contact you directly and tell you that. I have repeatedly explained to you that I represent
Countrywide and all of its employees in this matter, and any and all communication regarding this matter
is to be directed solely to me.

Your Continued Harassment of Ms. Garcia and Countrywide in General

I must demand that your harassment of Ms. Garcia and Countrywide in general stop immediately. You
have called, e-mailed and written us innumerable times, often with unsubstantiated accusations of fraud,
threats of legal action against Countrywide employees, arbitrary ·urgent" deadlines and last-minute
notices of baseless hearings. You have now demanded to meet with Ms. Garcia personally, or you will
subpoena her to testify. You have also called her directly again, despite my repeated demands that you
stop doing so. If you continue to harass us, induding serving a subpoena on Ms. Garcia, we will have no
choice but to move for a protective order and seek sanctions against you.

Your Recent Requests for Ms. McLaurin's Records

You did not provide proper notice to Ms. McLaurin and/or Nivie Samaan in your subpoenas. and we
objected to your subpoenas on that basis.

As our custodian of records declaration states, we have produced' all documents responsive to your
subpoenas within our possession, custody and control, subject to the objections previously served, We
have complied with our legal obligations as to the subpoenas. However, as a gesture of good faith, we
offered to allow you to review the original documents, which we will still allow you to do.

Litigation Conduct

Please immediately cease your repeated accusations of fraud, conspiracy and other nefarious deeds
against me and my colleagues. These accusations are baseless, inappropriate, offensive and in violation
of Los Angeles County Superior Court Local Rule No. 7.12(d), which requires that counsel "should at all
times be civil and courteous in communicating with adversaries." As someone representing himself In
propria persona, you are bound by these rules.

Finally, please provide us with the $95.95 set forth in our April 12, 2007 invoice.

Thank you.

2) UNSIGNED, UNAUTHENTICATED UNDERWRITING LETTER OF OCTOBER 26,
2004
3) APPARENT VIOLATIONS OF REGULATION B MENTIONED IN SAMAAN V
ZERNIK

Mr Book:

Starting in December 2006, I communicated with you and others in the Legal Department of
Countrywide various aspects of the conduct of Maria McLaurin, Branch Manager at
Countrywide Ilome Loans, San Rafael Wholesale Branch. Studying subpoena documents in
Samaan v Zernik, and data provided by branch Underwriter indicated that McLaurin had an
ongoing relationships with some loan broker(s) with the goal of perpetrating fraud against
Countrywide (heretofore indicating CFC, Inc, and/or any of its affiliates and subdivisions), a
Federally backed mortgage lender. By estimate of the Branch Senior Underwriter, the fraud rate
in that branch reached around 2004 90%, where estimates by the FBI put fraud levels at 30-40%
in California in general. The pattern as a whole fitted perfectly with what FBI reports describe
as a loosely organized white collar crime networks harvesting stunning sums (all estimates are
believed to be guesswork at best) in an epidemic of real estate and mortgage fraud, centered in
Southern California. Needless to say, Countrywide is the SUb-prime market leader, centered in
Southern California as well. FBl considers the fight against this epidemic a national priority!

The overall picture emerging from the fi Ie is of total collapse of checks and balances in
Countrywide. Gross violations escape all controls, since the fraud is perpetrated from above led
by the Branch Manager - and the dissenting Underwriter was quashed:
• Managerial Controls - the Senior Underwriter, who did not cooperate in the fraud, lost
her job instead
• Internal Audit - adulterated 1003 with not valid Receipt Date, adulterated fraudulent
Exception Requests by Branch Manager
• External Audit - same
• Legal Oversight - the Legal Department appears more as an accomplice with white collar
criminals than part of any compliance monitoring

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
• Federal Regulators - complaints to regulators are easily deflected, through cover up by
the Legal Department

Over half a year since my first report to the Legal Department, it appears that Countrywide never
took any action in this regard. If anything, the Legal Department was busy stonewalling,
ohfuscating, and defending McLaurin, who is still holding the same position as before. I am not
aware of any reporting you made to supervisors, as required by Sarbane-Oxley, or to SEC, Thrift
Regulators, Trade Commission, or the Federal Reserve. You refused to answer any questions in
this regard. Instead, you informed me that my attempts to directly inform Mr Mozillo, Chairman
of the Internal Audit Committee, were intercepted, and any attempt to communicate with
anybody at Countrywide, but you, would be considered "harassment" of Countrywide, and
would result in legal action.

A March 2007 column by Pulitzer Prize winner, Gretchen Morgenson.in the NYT, predicted the
ominous collapse of Countrywide, which she compared to Enron - an inherently corrupt
organization. She differentiated that the collapse of Countrywide would be much slower - a train
crash in slow motion, and also, that the damage inflicted on the American economy and many
many families would be much bigger.

In Meet and Confer discussions, you denied that McLaurin was involved in fraud, since her
scheme related to mortgage approval and funding of a loan for the buyer, Samaan, in the aborted
purchase agreement of my residencc, never materialized.
Similarly, I was informed by Thrift Supervisors, that Countrywide used the same argument to
deflect my complaint.

Needless to say, I am no bank regulator, but data indicating that a WHOLESALE BRANCH
MANAGER, who may approve up to $50,000,000 A DAY in mortgage investments, is involved
in an ATTEMPTED FRAUD, was worthy of reporting and investigation as a MATERIAL
DEFICIENCY. Moreover, as detailed below, THIS CASE PROVIDES THE TEMPLATE
FOR ROUTINE SCAM TO OVERCOME COUNTRYWIDE'S APPEARANCE OF
SAFEGUARDS AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS (E.G,
REGULATION B), and surely the scam described here was not used here for the first time.

As fully clarified to you over the months since then in many communications, Samaan's loan
application (1003) was replete with false and fraudulent data:
• its Date Received stamp was adulterated, but you could not or would not explain by
whom, when, where, why, and under what authority
• Many documents indicate that the loan was allowed to be continuously reviewed longer
than permitted by Regulation B, through manipulation of the Date Received data.
• You could not produce or would not produce any documentation of the correct Date
Received for the loan application
• the signature on the 1003 was not that of the Loan Broker, Victor Parks
• Samaan stated in deposition that the loan broker never even talked with her
• on the 1003 Parks is listed as the telephone interviewer
• Samaan stated in deposition that her husband, who does not hold any relevant licence,
and probably is prevented from ever holding any such license, was the one who prepared

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court


the applications
• Samaan, who at the time made her living on the Payroll of a department store as
cosmetics saleswoman claimed in loan applications that she was the president and sole
owner of a corporation Spellbound Enterprise, Inc, for at least 4 year, with no other
employment, and with income of $400,000 per year
• That corporation was established less than a year earlier, and according to its web page,
engaged in web retail sales for consumers of the psychic and the occult - "The
Supernatural Superstore" - providing Tarot cards, divining objects, anointment oils, and
crystal balls.
• That Loan Application, prepared by the newly wed husband listed his wife as an
Unmarried Woman, in violation of laws and regulations for a Community Property State.
• As clearly indicated in Clues report and conditions set by the duly assigned Underwriter,
this application had some of the cardinal signs of fraud - discrepancies in employment, in
residence, in source of income, in source of funds,
• Regardless of conditions set by Underwriter, the applicant would not divulge "Type of
Business"
• The business license provided by applicant contradicted the statements she made in the
application, and was not accepted by the Underwriter
• The explanation applicant provided for discrepancies in residence statement was deemed
unacceptable by Underwriter
• Telephone numbers provided by the applicant did not match up with other business and
residence information provided
• When the loan was not approved by the Underwriter, McLaurin filed an Exception
Request where the income was increased through a "typo" to $4,000,000 a year
• In same Exception Request credit determinations made by your expert system - Clues,
and the duly assigned Underwriter were turned upside down by McLaurin
• The loan application was missing the Broker's signature on the Broker's certification in
all Underwriting Letters you produced
I probably forgot some of the fraudulent data, the list is too long. But one of the most notable
features was that McLaurin, through her conduct, seemed to endorse the invalid 1003, which was
for the wrong loan program (no documentation, >$1.3m, on a program that allows no
documentation for only up to $150,000), at a 0.75% lowered interest rate. In fact, it allowed the
Borrower to misrepresent lack of funds to close, and lack of reserves. And if closed, it would
have provided the Borrower over $\ 0,000 discount for no obvious reason (except for the obvious
relationship bctween applicant, her husband, and his cousin - all involved in the mortgage
industry, and the Bank manager), and probably justified the personal time and efforts of the
Branch Manager...

Frazier, the duly authorized Underwriter refused to issue any credit decision prior to receipt of
valid, correct 1003 loan application. But the handling of this loan demonstrated a simple route
around sound Underwriting principles required by Federal regulations. The applicant waited,
and seemed strangely uninterested in addressing the deficiencies in her application. Instead, she
probably was waiting, as part of a routine scam, for the loan application to be suspended
(10125104) for incompleteness 10 days after receipt (10/14/04). In fact, according to the duly
assigncd Underwriter, the application was uniquely incomplete at submission, probably by
design ...

,T'
412 / 745
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" ,1-- , ~i

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court


Fallowing that suspension, the Bank Manager had no problem usurping the Underwriting
authority of the duly assigned Underwriter, bypassing all security and Underwriting safeguards,
and overturning all Underwriting Decisions/Conditions.

For example, she filed both her Exception Report (10/25/04) and her Appraisal Request
(10/25/04) without obtaining new, valid loan application 1003 from the applicant. Therefore, she
had no way to adjudicate the application, since all calculations listed by the applicant on the
1003 used fraudulently lowered interest rate.

Gadi, in Division Underwriting Support, conditioned his approval (10/29/04) on the following
stipu lations:
a) that all information provided to him was true - but the annual income, fictional to start out,
was IO-fold increased, AND the credit detenninations presented to him were opposite those of
CLUES and the Underwriter, without any discernable foundation
b) that all conditions stipulated by the Branch Underwriter be enforced - these conditions were
already ignored by the time the Exception Request was filed, and seemed to be ignored in all
later Underwriting Letters.

On 10/26/04 McLaurin, for no obvious reason, issued a false, invalid, unsigned, and
unauthenticated Underwriting Letter that appearcd to be issued by Frazier, the duly assigned
Underwriter, as ifshe was still in charge of the application (where in fact McLaurin had by then
usurped Underwriting authorities). The Underwriting Letter stated that the application had been
suspended (where in fact by then McLaurin had moved the application to the fast track - by
applying for Review Appraisal and Exception Request).

In court filings in November 2006, McLaurin provided a statement on Countrywide letterhead,


accompanied by a copy of the invalid Underwriting Letter of 10/26/04, in support of claims by
Samaan that:
- such Underwriting Letter was issued on or around October 14, 2004
- such Underwriting Letter showed that the Loan was suspended on or around October 14, 2004
- such adverse actions were initiated ONLY because of missing initials of seller on Purchase
Agreement, that according to legal authorities is fully executed absent such initials, given the
language of the fully executed Counter Offers.

THESE CLAIMS, FULLY SUPPORTED BY MCLAURIN, WITH APPARENT


ENDORSEMENT OF COUNTRYWIDE - GlVEN THE CONDUCT OF THE LEGAL
DEPARTMENT - ARE ON THEIR FACE AN ATIEMPT TO DECEIVE THE COURT AND
DEFRAUD ZERNIK, TO THE TUNE OF $1,000,000 - $1,500,000:

A) IN FACT, SAMAAN NEVER SUBMITIED A PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND JOINT


ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS WITH HER LOAN APPLlCAnON IN THE FIRST PLACE, AS
EVIDENT FROM THE LOAN FILE, AND ALSO AS CONFIRMED BY THE DULY
ASSIGNED UNDERWRITER - FRAZIER.

B) THEREFORE, THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ANYBODY AT COUNTRYWIDE TO

413 / 745
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" >"/
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
ASSESS THE AGREEMENT UNTIL OCTOBER 22,2004, THAT IS- AFTER ESCROW WAS
ALREADY CANCELLED.

C) THE FIRST EVER COPY OF THE AGREEMENT FOUND IN COUNTRYWIDE'S LOAN


rILE, WAS FAXED ON OCTOBER 22, 2004, BY SAMAAN HERSELF, AND WAS
STRANGELY MISSING TWO ELEMENTS THAT WERE CRITICAL FOR FULL
EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT, BUT WERE BOTH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
BUYER SAMAAN:

i) SAMAAN'S SIGNATURE WAS MISSING ON PAGE 8 OF THE AGREEMENT,


WHICH IS CRITICAL TO PRODUCE A VALID OFFER, WHICH WOULD THEN BE
SUBJECT TO THE COUNTER OFFERS.
ii) SAMAAN'S INITIALS WERE MISSING ON PARAGRAPH 8 OF COUNTER
OFFER NO 2, MEANT TO INDICATE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ACCEPTANCE
BY THE BUYER - SAMAAN, AND WITH THAT - FINAL EXECUTION OF THE
AGREEMENT

D) THE SECOND, AND ONLY OTHER COpy OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, WAS
RECEIVED ON OCTOBER 25,2004, AND WAS COMPLETE, WITH ALL INITIALS AND
SIGNATURES

i) IT IS NOT CLEAR WHO SENT IT. EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT ALL ALONG
SAMAAN IMPERSONATED HER LOAN BROKER, AND ALL FAXES APPEARING
AS HIS, ARE IN FACT FROM HER OWN FAX MACHINE.
ii) FOR EXAMPLE - COMPARJNG THE LOAN BROKER SIGNATURE
APPEARING IN COURT FILINGS, WE COULD NOT IDENTIFY ONE SINGLE
AUTHENTIC SIGNATURE IN THE WHOLE LOAN FILE, OR FOR THAT MATIER
ON THE ORIGINAL FRAUDULENT PRE-QUALIFICATION LETTER.
iii) ALTHOUGH THE FAX PRODUCED BY COUNTRYWIDE APPEARS AS
ARRIVING FROM PARKS ON OCTOBER 25,2004, PARKS PROVlDED A
DECLARATION UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, THAT IT WAS FAXED
"IMMEDIATEL Y" AFTER IT WAS RECEIVED FROM ESCROW ON OCTOBER 22,
2004.
iv) THE DOCUMENT PRODUCED BY PARKS IN COURT, WHICH HE STATED
UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY WAS THE ONE HE HAD FAXED TO
COUNTRYWIDE, WAS MISSING ZERNIK'S INITIALS AND SIGNATURES, IN
CONTRAST WITH THE DOCUMENT PRODUCED BY COUNTRYWIDE, REPLETE
WITH ZERNIK'S INITIALS AND SIGNATURES.
v) THIS WRITER HAS PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DOCUMENT - THE
DOCUMENT IN COUNTRYWIDE'S CUSTODY IS A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY
OF THE DOCUMENT, WHILE THE DOCUMENT PRODUCED BY LOAN BROKER
PARKS IS THE PRODUCT OF ADULTERATION, RATHER THAN THE OPPOSITE.

E) MARIA MCLAURIN, REPRESENTED AS SPEAKING FOR COUNTRYWIDE,


THROUGH HER DECLARATION AND LETTER TO COURT, AND THROUGH SUPPORT
OF THE FRAUDULENT PRESENTAnON OF THE 10126/04 UNDERWRITING LETTER

414 / 745 oF":

• \

Court File: "Volume IV Continued"
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
AND THE 10/25/04 ADULTERATED PURCHASE AGREEMENT, FULLY SUPPORTED
SUCH FRAUD AND DECEIT.

F) COUNTRYWIDE, THROUGH ATI BOOCK, WAS MADE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES


AT LEAST SINCE DECEMBER 2006. IT APPEARS THAT COUNTRYWIDE DID
NOTHING TO STOP MCLAURIN FROM CONTINUING AND ELEVATING THE LEVEL
OF HER PARTICIPATION IN THIS FRAUD THROUGH MISLEADfNG THE COURTS.

WITH THAT - COUNTRYWIDE AS A CORPORATION, AND THE LEGAL


DEPARTMENT IN PARTICULAR, APPEAR AS A FULL ACCOMPLICES IN
PERJURY, PROCURING OF PERJURY, FRAUD, DECEIT, AND CONSPIRACY.

The transaction was tenninated by Zemik following a Notice to Buyer to Perfonn, and a Notice
to Cancel, when Samaan failed to remove both her Loan Contingency and her Appraisal
Contingency long after the time set in her Purchase Agreement. Therefore, you claimed, there
was no loss to Countrywide or the Federal Government, no fraud perpetrated, and no need for
the Legal Department to take any action.

Similar claims were raised by Countrywide in response to complaint I filed with Thrift
Regulators. Countrywide Bank argued that Samaan's loan would never have been funded had
the transaction not been canceled.

However, McLaurin, in court declarations, supported applicant Samaan's claims that are
diametrically the opposite - that the loan would have definitely been approved and funded had it
not for Zemik's initials of seller on the bottom of Califomia Purchase Agreement and Joint
Escrow Instructions. That - regardless of the true facts in this matter:
a) The document presented by Parks as the one sent to Countrywide was a fraudulent forgery.
The document faxed to Countrywide on October 25, 2004, and still in Countrywide's custody,
included all seller's initials and signatures.
b) The only other Purchase Agreement appearing in the Loan File was received by Countrywide
on October 22, 2004, and was missing critical Buyer's initials and signature.
c) Prior to October 22,2004, this loan application claimed to be received October 12,2004, and
probably received much earlier (the stamps were adulterated), never included any copy of the
Purchase Agreement. Therefore, McLaurin or others at Countrywide could never adjudicate any
initials or signatures prior to October 22, 2004. Definitely, the file did not include any copy of
the Purchase Agreement from October 14,2004 to October 22, 2004, as confinned by both the
Loan File and the duly assigned Underwriter.
d) Any Broker or Realtor questioned about this case expressed amazement at the outlandish
claims brought in the name of Countrywide. In this day and age, even loan applications are often
unsigned prior to closing (and Samaan's Loan Applications, fraudulent from A to Z, showed
signatures that surely did not belong to her Loan Broker).
e) Legal consultants appear positive that the agreement as such is executed without the initials,
given that the Counter Offer, fully executed, stipulate that all provisions of the Agreement are
fully agreed upon by both parties.

But the Legal Department of Countrywide does nothing to stop this ongoing attempt at fraud.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
This time - not undercover fraud, but fraud in broad daylight, in full view of all internal and
extcrnal audit, regulatory and supervision safeguards.

This notice is to demand that you provide, on behalf of the Lcgal Department of Countrywide,
answers for the following questions related to the First Lien Loan Appl ication of Samaan,
claimed to bc received on 10/14/04, and as represented in:
a) Countrywide's production of business rccords of Samaan's Loan files in Samaan v Zernik
b) Countrywide's responses to complaint file with Thrift Regulators in early 2007
c) Countrywide's responses to a complaint file with Federal Trade Commission from 2007
d) Countrywide's customary business practices
e) Countrywide's reports to regulatory agencies

I) Are you aware of the declaration of Maria McLaurin, signed on May 23, 2007, and filed in
court on May 25, 2007, as part of litigation in Samaan v Zemik?
2) Did you approve this declaration in advance of its filing?
3) If you are not familiar with this declaration, I demand that you immediately obtain a copy
from Maria McLaurin, and inform me - does Countrywide approve of this declaration at present?
4) Did you approve McLaurin's letter of November 6, 2006 ahead of its filing?
5) Does Countrywide approve of the content of the November 6, 2006, letter at present?
6) In Meet and Confer you indicated that the unsigned, unauthenticated, Underwriting
ConditionlDecision Letter of October 26, 2004, produced by McLaurin in her court filing, was
not part of Samaan's Loan Application File, and indeed it was not part of any of the subpoena
production in August 06 and in January-February 2007:
Does Countrywide consider at present that unsigned, unauthenticated Underwriting Letter of
October 26, 2004, as a valid part ofSamaan Loan Application Underwriting process in 2004?
7) Who was the duly assigned Underwriter of Samaan's Loan on October 24, 2004? October 25,
2004? October 26, 2004, October 27,2004, October 28, 2004, October 29, 2004?
8) Under which circumstances is anybody other than the duly assigned Underwriter allowed to
issue an Underwriting Letter?
9) Under which circumstances is anybody, including the duly assigned Underwriter, allowed to
issue an unsigned Underwriting Letter?
10) Does Countrywide agree with the various statements made by Maria McLaurin in her
declarations of November 2006 and May 2007 regarding the October 26, 2004 Underwriting
Letter?
II) Are you familiar with various statements in declarations, emails, and filings of Keshavarzi,
Parks, and McLaurin, which on their face appear as gross violations of Regulation B by
Countrywide?
12) For example, does Countrywide allow a "source" in San Rafael Wholesale Branch to
verbally notify a loan broker of the disposition of loan applications, including conditions for
approval and action taken, without any written notice, and at times in contradiction of written
notices?
13) Are you familiar with the fact that Samaan, the Borrower, directly managed her Loan
Application Underwriting, at times by direct communication with the Underwriter and others,
and at other times by misrepresenting fax communications as coming from her Loan Broker?
14) Does Countrywide approve of Borrowers managing their own Underwriting Brokerage and
communicating with the Wholesale Branch?

15) Are you fami liar with the fact that Samaan stated in her deposition that she did not even talk
with her Loan Broker, let alone present him in person with any documents that were presumably
the basis for the loan application 1003?
16) Are you familiar with the fact that Samaan stated in her deposition that her husband, who is

18) Are you aware of the multitude of fraudulent data incorporated in Samaan's Loan
Application 1003?
19) Does Countrywide approve of such fraudulent loan applications?
20) Was Gadi ever made aware that the income presented to him, of $4,000,000 had no basis in
reality?
21) Was Gadi ever made aware that the credit determinations appearing on Exception Request,
Branch Input, had no base in reality, and were produced without any supporting Underwriting
Notes?
22) Did McLaurin ever run CLUES report on Samaan's application as demanded by Gadi, after
10/25/04?
23) If so, why was it never presented in subpoenas?
24) If not, how was she allowed to proceed with loan approval without any alann raised by any
of the internal audit, external audit, legal, managerial, and regulatory oversight mechanisms?
25) Did Samaan ever satisfy the condition originally set by Frazier on October 14,2004, then
repeated by Gadi on October 29,2004, that Samaan must submit valid loan application (1003)
showing the correct interest rate and the correct calculations based on such interest rate in her
loan application 1003?
26) If so, why were no such loan applications (l003) produced in subpoenas?
27) Did Countrywide ever provide approval Samaan's First Lien Loan Application without ever
receiving a valid loan application 1003 as described in 14) above?
28) Was Samaan;s First Lien Loan ever unconditionally approved for funding?
29) Would Samaan's Loan Application 1003 be approved if presented today for Underwriting?
For ending - some simple ones:
30) What was the true receipt date of Samaan's Loan Application?
31) Who, when. why, and under what guise adulterated the Date Received stamp?
32) Did Countywide really never conducted any investigation of this gross violation of
Regulation B?
33) You are fully aware, after it was pointed out to you numerous times, that Samaan's income as
Iisted in the pri ntouts of Exception Request, Branch Input, is a rough adulteration. The printout
was covered with whiteout - and a new figure handwritten in. Detailed reading of the documents
explained why:
McLaurin increased Samaan's income, fictional to start out, ten-fold, to $4,000,000 per year, for
the Exception Request. But the file copy was made to appear in synch with the loan application
at $400,000 per year.
Did you ever investigate who made this adulteration?
Was there any report issued?
Were there any violations of Countrywide's practices in these actions?

RESPONSE DEMANDED BY WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20,2007, 5:00PM.

Joseph Zemik

ps:
It is Friday afternoon, and I must end on a personal note. I was born in Jerusalem, on my
Mother's sidc- of a Hebronite Jewish family descended from Rabbi Schneerson and Sephardic
roots combined, and on my Father's side, descendent from the German Rabbi Akiva of Eger. I
marricd a dcscendent of the Luzzatto family. Combined, my children, who grew lip in this
residence, and my tcen age son, still living here, hold a vast treasure of Jewish family memories
over the generations.

I was disgusted and appalled by your hypocrisy, representing yourselfas an observant Orthodox
Jew, in order to avoid ex parte appearance in court to represent your positions - supporting fraud
and deceit.

I was similarly disgusted when I recognized that Sandor Samuels, the head of your department,
and an orthodox Jew, serves as the 2006-7 President of the Board of Beth Tzedek, a Jewish
charitable organization for legal aid. Fraud prevention, and in particular real estate fraud
prevention are advertised as a high priority. And the Orthodox Jewish lawyers who refused to
represent me in this case because of the Orthodox Jews in your department only made it more
abhorrent. Your department, as managed by Samuels, based on your conduct to date, appears
dedicated to aiding and abating real estate and mortgage fraud committed by a Countrywide's
Branch Manager.

Combined, the conduct of your department over the last half year bcars testimony to a Legal
Department that disregards the rule of the law, and supports abuse ofjustice. In printing Bcth
Tzeuek's logo "Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof" ("Justice,justiceyou shall pursue" ) in Beth Tzcdck's
brochures, bearing his portrait photo, Samuels and you jointly make ridicule of that
commandment, whose words have been admired over the millennia by Jews and non-Jews alike.

I find this particularly poignant since in 2006 I published by commission a French translation of
Hebron Stories by Shami (1888-1949) for the Calvinist Church of Switzerland, after publishing
it in English in 2000 to rave review by the Los Angeles Times. The themes of these stories, I told
the French non-Jewish readers in an epilogue, were those of the Hebrew Prophets - Micah and
Amos who lived walking distance from Hebron: social justice, and protest of hypocrisy through
overzealous devout reI igiosity.
"Will the LORD he pleased with thousands oframs, or with ten thousands ofrivers ofoil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit ofmy body for the sin ofmy soul?

He hath shewed thee, 0 man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require ofthee,
But to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"

Mr Angelo Mozilo, Chainnan


Internal Audit Committee
Countrywide*

RE: Samaan v Zernik, Samaan's 1" Lien Loan Application #8137375

Dear Mr Mozilo:

I am approaching you as Chainnan of Countrywide's Internal Audit Committee,


demanding actions to mitigate harm and damages to Zemik by Countrywide, and to
prevent further fraud perpetrated by San Rafael Branch Manager Maria McLaurin and
her associates.

In 2004 Zemik listed his residence in Beverly Hills for sale. Nivie Samaan made an
offer, which was eventually accepted by Zemik. As later uncovered, Samaan was never
qualified to purchase the Property. She was a cosmetics saleswoman who fraudulently
represented herself to Zemik as a realtor who closed several deals a year, and who
fraudulently represented herself in her 1003 (Attachment #1) as solely deriving her
incomc as President of a Corporation. Her Prequal ification Letter was a product of fraud
and an instrument of Fraudulent Inducement to obtain Zemik's consent to the Purchase
Agreement.

Maria McLaurin, Branch Manager, buyer Nivie Samaan, buyer's husband and McLaurin'
s friend lae Arre Lloyd (fonnedy Timothy Lloyd Morrow), and his cousin and business
associate Victor Park, all operating in the field of real estate and mortgages, initiated in
2004, several types of fraud, all related one way or another to the pending sale of my
residence. McLaurin and Lloyd were most likely well versed in mortgage fraud, but this
st
fraud scheme did not work on schedule - approval of the 1 Lien Loan #8137375 was
considcrably delayed, possibly because Lloyd and McLaurin were trying to outdo
themselves this time and issue a fraudulent jumbo mortgage, with no documentation, and
at reduced interest rate. The lattcr provcd more difficult than anticipated (Attachment

419 / 745
J -,//
Court File: "Volume IV Continued"
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
ft,2,#3, #4).

Following Samaan's failure to perform, and the realization. on several accounts, that she
was not dealing honestly, Zemik issued Notice to Perform, and later, after Samaan
refused to perform, he issued Instructions to Cancel Escrow.

A year later, in 2005, once the price of the Property considerably appreciated, Samaan
filed claims for Specific Perfonnance, and placed lis pendens on the Property. Samaan's
claims initially appeared unsustainable and absurd, but false and fraudulent statements
and documents (Attachment #5) brought or supported by McLaurin kept the case in
court for the second year now.

I demand your help in mitigating the damages resulting from unlawful, fraudulent
conduct of Maria McLaurin. To mitigate damages, and to help in stemming the
ongoing fraud and deceit perpetrated against Zernik, please personally ensure that I
am provided by Fridav, June 29, 2007, 5:00pm, a declaration by an authorized
officer of Countrywide, outlining relevant details shown below (Attachment #6).

URGENT: Timed response required - demand for a declaration by a Countrywide Officer.

Dear Mr Samuels:

Below is a copy of a letter I emailed to Mr Mozilo in his capacity as the Chairman of


Countrywide's Internal Audit Committee. In this letter I demand some immediate that he
immediately takc action to mitigatc damages to me resulting from the conduct of Maria
McLaurin, San Rafael Countrywide Home Loans Wholesalc Branch Manager. I also left a
similar lctter for you on Friday in the offices of Bet Tzedek, where you are President of the
Board of Directors.

Phase I - 2004: Typical "Straw Buyer" mortgage fraud compounded with rate/fee discount
As we have uncovered through subpoenas, in 2004 McLaurin was an accomplice to an attempted
mortgage fraud against Countrywide - a government backed mortgage lender. Her main
collaborator was Jae Arre Lloyd (formerly Timothy Lloyd Morrow), veteran mortgage processor
(but not a license holder). In 2004 I had no knowledge of this, although the fraudulent mortgage
application was against my Beverly Hills residence, at that time listed for sale. Initially, no harm
was done to me either.

It appears that neither McLaurin nor Lloyd were new at it. But as seen through documents
obtained from Countrywide, McLaurin and Lloyd were trying to outdo themselves in this case.
They were not satisfied with a typical "Straw Buyer" mortgage fraud - issuing loans for about

421 / 745 j l ,
.. ,i -
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" l-'

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
$1.5m for an entirely unqualified borrower. The borrower, Nivie Samaan, a department store
cosmetics saleswoman was represented in 2004 as Lloyd's newly-wed wife, although in 1003
and in Escrow documents she was listed as an Unmarried Woman, and future Sole Owner of the
property. Lloyd, the husband himself, was the one who introduced this fraudulent marital status
listing. As turned out much later, the person represented as the loan broker (Victor Parks, Lloyd's
1st cousin and business associate) was out of the loop.

This particular mortgage fraud was to be a family affair for the new-wed wife. And the "Straw
Buyer" mortgage fraud was to be compounded by fraud against Countrywide per se - by
obtaining the 1st lien mortgage at 0.75% discount relative to prevailing rates and/or fees.

Unfortunately, as it turned out, the compound fraud was not as easy to pull off as these two
professionals, McLaurin and Lloyd, must have assumed. The local branch senior underwriter -
Diane Frazier - repeatedly refused to issue credit determinations for 1003 mortgage applications
with major violations of loan program rules. And the Clues Expert System similarly issued a
"REFER" determination.

McLaurin indeed tried to bypass the local underwriter and she issued a referral to Division
Underwriting Support - Demetrio Gadi - for an Exception Request. But Gadi would not go along
with that fraud either. Careful reading of his "approval" communication shows that he in effect
did not approve any exception at all. The borrower was to add the 0.75%, as previously
detemlined by Frazier, and the borrower was required to produce new, valid 1003s. Moreover,
Gadi reenforced the authority of the local branch underwriter and determined that the branch
manager must abide by atl conditions and decisions previously stipulated by Diane Frazier.
Moreover, he added new conditions that would make it even more difficult, or practically
impossible for McLaurin to get that fraudulent application funded. A new Clues Report was to
be issued prior to funding, and all documents had to be reviewed by a branch underwriter prior to
funding. In addition, Gadi introduced an unusual condition, to ensure that if the loan was ever
funded, damage to Countrywide was contained. McLaurin was instructed to issue a
non-delegated Mortgage Insurance at cost to branch, and demonstrate a certificate in the tile
prior to funding.

In fact this "Exception Request Approval" by Gadi, was a sounding vote of no confidence in the
integrity and professional judgement of McLaurin. I had no knowledge of any of that in 2004, as
the seller in the underlying real estate transaction. But both I and my realtor were getting
increasingly alanned by what appeared as repeated instances of dishonest dealing or worse, and
by failure of the buyer to perfonn. I was also waiting for buyer to remove her contingencies
prior to making a large deposit on my next dwelling. But buyer failed to remove the
contingencies, and I subsequently lost the dwelling that [ had chosen as next for me and my
family. By that time, the typical California real estate transaction, with its measured dynamic
method of contingencies, intended to equitably distribute the risks and liabilities, was turned
upside down. It was clear that the buyer would not be able to close on schedUle, but if I waited
any longer, she could force me to close at any time in the future, regardless of whether or not I
had secured an alternative dwelling. And she could also cancel without a major liability to
herself, since she still had not removed her last two contingencies (Loan and Appraisal).

,.

Court File: "Volume IV Continued"
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
Therefore, I issued a Notice to Buyer to Perform. In response, I received a lettcr from buyer in
which she explicitly refused to remove the last contingency (Appraisal), without any
justification. Indeed, she already had in her hand an appraisal that came in at sales price, and her
actions in this regard appeared as yet another dishonest dealing, which in retrospect is surely
was. I then acted within my absolute right and issued Instruction to Cancel Escrow.

Events in 2004, in and of themselves, caused relatively little harm to seller compared to
subscyuent events. These events in 2004 may appear to some as solely an attempt at fraud
against Countrywide, facilitated by a Countrywide Branch Manager. But in effect, the Purchase
Agreement stipulated that buyer "shall act diligently and ill good faith to obtain designated
loans ". Therefore, the fraud was also against the seller. Seller had no consumer standing, and
for that matter no direct relationship whatsoever with Countrywide. But a Countrywide Branch
Manager with no disccrnable reason, was trying to harm seller by enabling and facilitating fraud
by buyer against seller.

Events in 2004 could not have taken place were it not for the willingness of McLaurin to
perpetrate mortgage fraud in collaboration with Lloyd and Samaan. It is also difftcult to assume
that what the underwriter, Frazier, herself described to me was entirely secret - a wholesale
branch where fraud was pervasive and underway on a daily basis, intense pressure was applied
on the legitimate underwriters to collude, total disregard for laws and regulations was abundant,
and the organizational structures and procedures that were put in place in Countrywide to
implement mandatory safeguards and comply with the law, appeared all gone. In fact, careful
analysis of Qadi's actions suggests that he was aware at least of some of it.

Phase II, 2005 - present: Fraudulent "Lis Pendens Sgueeze"


By late 2005 it was clear that real estate values in Beverly Hills had appreciated substantially
from 2004, against all experts' predictions. The fraud then entered Phase II. Samaan filed claims
for specific performance, based on the failed transaction in Phase I of this fraud, and she placed
lis pendens against the title of the property.

This type of fraud is also well known. The owner is left instantly without any control of his own
property, or his own finances for that matter, or his own time of day. Owner is not able to sell,
not even to enter a long term lease, and surely not even to refinance at a time of concerns over
swinging interest rates. Moreover, the litigation, beyond the aggravation, has become
exceedingly costly. At present, this case appears as one that can bring this owner to bankruptcy
and ruin, in a case that is what Bet Tzedek's mission to prevent.

Strange Bedfellows
The current situation put the owner, buyer, and Countrywide in unanticipated positions: One
would have thought that Countrywide, as targeted victim of the Phase [compound fraud would
take action against a runaway Branch Manager and take a firm position against the
borrowerlbuyer.

In fact the opposite is the truth. Attorneys for the Legal Department clearly show no interest in
the fact that a Branch Manager attempted fraud against the bank. In fact attorneys for the Legal
Department have been trying to cover it up by producing partial responses to subpoenas, and at

423 / 745 ( .:/'1


. !
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" ,
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
times making deliberately false representations.

The buyer, who in 2004 had a check for $15,000 deposit bounce twice for NS F, has now spent
by some estimates close to $200,000 on legal fees. And strangely enough, attorneys for thc buyer
scem particularly interested in protecting the Branch Manager, who is not even their client. In
return, the Branch Manager supplied buyer with fraudulent claims, fraudulent bank documents,
and make statements and declarations in court that fotm the foundation of this malicious
prosecution.

Being a relatively senior manager, identifying herself as a Branch Manager, and submitting
papers on Countrywide letterhead, Maria McLaurin is clearly perceived in court as representing
Countrywide as a whole.

The damage caused to seller by this malicious and illegal conduct of McLaurin is enormous, and
is compounded by the day.

Demand for Immediate Action:


I sent an email to Mr Mozilo earlier, in his capacity as Chairman of the Internal Audit
Committee, and I also left you a similar letter last week at Bet Tzedek, marked "Urgent", and
"Personal". In the letter to you I indicated that I had approached Rabbi Shusterman, Av Bet Din
of Los Angeles, and he agreed in principle to host an informal meeting.

Given your position in Bet Tzedek, in Adat Ariel, in the Ziegler School of Rabbinical Studies,
and statements you make on behalf of Bet Tzedek, and the little that I know about your
education, I cannot believe that had you known any of this, you would have let it stand one more
minute.

In the letter to Mozilo, as an immediate relief, I requested that an authorized Officer of the
Corporation make two statements in a declaration that would be submitted in court. These
statement,>, which I am confident are true, contradict fraudulent statement,> and assertions
repeatedly made by Maria McLaurin and her associates in court since November 2006. These
assertion form the core of the litigation. If the true facts in this matter arc clearly articulated by
Countrywide, and if Maria McLaurin is barred from any further misrepresentation and fraud in
court, where she appears as representing Countrywide, this litigation would be over.

I look forward to hearing from you. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

Sandor Samuels is also addressed as the President of Bet Tzedek (House of Justice), and in his
capacity in other prominent Jewisll organizations in Los Angeles, such as Adat Ariel, and the
Ziegler School of Rabbinical Studies. Bet Tzedek is a not for profit Jewish organization
dcd icatcd to the cause of furthering justice through free legal services to the needy, and to stern
fraud - with real estate fraud prevention listed at a high priority. Bet Tzedek is a worthy
institution, and one that can proudly be held as a symbol of the Jewish community's contribution
to the reople of Los Angeles in particular, and the historic contribution of the Jewish
Community to American life in general. The work of Bet Tzedek was revicwed or mentioned for
their positive contribution to justice in the Los Angeles Times, NPR 's Market Place, the Los
Angeles Daily Journal , the Jewish Journal, and other publications.

In web pages of Bet Tzedek Mr Samuels states: "Whom do you call ifyou are elderly and
someone is trying to evict you from your apartment or your house?".. The answer to these ....
is a reJOunding Bet Tzedek! " (Attachment A ). J am not elderly, but a real estate fraud
perpetrated against me in the LA Superior Court by a Countrywide Branch Manager and her
associates, may leave me elderly and poor. In those web pages Mr Samuels expressed his
commitment to justice. and in this letter I call upon him to act based upon these commitments.

The biblical commandment "Justice, Justice You Shall Pursue" from the Five Books of Moses,
is featured prominently as the guiding words for Bet Tzedek . Indeed, that commandment, and
even more so the words of the Hebrew Prophets have becn admired over the millennia by Jews
and non-Jews alike "... To turn aside the needy /romjudgment, and to take away the right/rom
the poor ofmy people, that widows may be their prey, alld that they may rob thefatherless! "
Isaiah is probably the best known, in part through his reflection as a major influence on the
writings of the New Testament. Indeed. some of the figures that are held as beacons in the
contribution of the Jewish community to American law, followed the same path, and may be
eerily relevant to our matter:
Justice LOllis Brandeis - one of his best known contributions was the Brandeis Brief - claimed to be
the first brief in the United States that relied on analysis of factual data rather than pure legal theory to argue a case,
documented the negative health effects of employees long working hours.
Benjamin Cardozo - known bcst for opinions such as:
• Hynes v New York Central Railroad Company - about the Duty of Care of a large corporation in
relationship to individuals who were trespassers!
• MacPherson v Buick Motor Co. - which expanded Duty in Negligence Actions and redefined the scope of
Corporate Liability
• Berkey v. Third Avenue Railway - which removed the veil of complex corporate structures with
subsidiaries
Indeed, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, seeing in Brandeis a model Justice, affectionately
nicknamed him "Isaiah ", and the metaphor of "City upon a Hill " for a just society, featured in
President Reagan's FarewelI Address, goes back through the puritan Winthrop and the Sermon
on the Mount to Isaiah as well.

I therefore also approach Sandor Samuels in the Spirit of the upcoming Justice Ball, on July
28th, 2007, the annual fund-raiser for Bet Tzedek , a model Jewish institution in Los Angels. I
wish Mr Samuels and Bet Tzedek a successful Justice Ball, and I was happy to see the list of
illustrious sponsors. No doubt Mr Samuels' tenure as President had a lot to do with that. Will
you gather to celebrate the protection ofJustice in LA, while under your watch I am being

robbed ill broad daylight oj my /tome and my saving because of illactioll by Countrywide?

I am the victim of Wire Fraud and Real Estate Fraud perpetrated by Maria McLaurin, Branch
Manager, Countrywide San Rafael, and her associates: Nivie Samaan and Victor Parks (none is a
Countrywide employee). Since November 2006 it appears that Att Mohammad Keshavarzi, of
Sheppard Mullin, is also a major figure in fabrication and coordination offraud in this case
(presumably all protected under litigation privileges). Samaan's fraud attempts that I am
personally aware of now were initiated in September-October 2004, but I was not aware of
these, and had no understanding of any of the related complex areas of the law, banking, and real
estate until December 2006!

Attempted Mortgage Fraud against Countrywide - government hacked mortgage lender, and
Attempted Fraud against Countrywide per se
These fraud attempts were initiated in relationship with the attempt by Nivie Samaan to obtain
mortgage loans from Countrywide, for the purchase of my residence, then listed for sale.
Countrywide is a government backed mortgage lender, and such mortgage applications were
based on the federally mandated and prescribed Uniform Loan Application (1003) (Attachment
fl. ). Samaan's 1003's were fraudulent in almost any conceivable way (Attachment B ). To top it
off, that loan application involved also an attempt at fraud against Countrywide per se - by
allowing Samaan discounted fee of 0,75% for no reason at all. That application, and its
underwriting process involved a multiplicity of Violations ofRegulation B of the Federal
Reserve (Fair Credit) and California Fair Credit and Fair /lousing laws and regulations,
primarily by Maria McLaurin (Attachment C ). Not to outdo McLaurin, the scheme also involved
Wire Fraud by Nivie Samaan and Victor Parks. Fraud and Deceit against Zernik were a minor
part of the original scheme, but moved to center field when the original scheme failed.

Wire Fraud bv Samaan and Parks against a f]nancial institution - Countrywide


Wire Fraud bv Sanman and Parks against Zernik
Not to outdo McLaurin, the scheme also involved Wire Fraud by Nivie Samaan and Victor
Parks (both Califomia Department ofReal Estate License holders) (AttQchment D). Parks was
represented to me as the Loan Broker, without disclosing any relationship to the Buyer, Samaan.
Much later, in July 2006, he turned out to be the first cousin ofSamaan's purported husband, Jac
Arre Lloyd (prior to 2003 - Timothy Lloyd Morrow). And Lloyd, in tum, appears to have been a
long term McLaurin friend/acquaintance. Lloyd was also a mortgage professional for many
years, but not a license holder for unknown reason.

As much later tumed out, Samaan and Parks had an arrangement, whereby Parks, who at the
time apparently resided and operated from offices in the State of Washington, with corporate
ot1ices (Pacific Mortgage Consultants) in northern California, not far from San Rafael. Parks
allowed Samaan and Lloyd to broker Samaan's loan with the San Rafael Wholesale Bmnch. To
facilitate this scheme, fax transmissions sent to the fax number that was provided to us for Parks,
with an area code in Washington State (across State lines) were automatically forwarded to
Samaan's fax machine in the Los Angeles, California, area. It also appears that fax transmissions
that we believed had come from Parks, in reality originated from Samaan's fax machine in the
Los Angeles area. Please note that the elements of Wire Fraud, a Federal violation, include the

428 / 745

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
attempt at fraud, but do not require the actual success of the fraud attempt. And Wire Fraud
attempt against a financial institution may result in a prison sentence of up to 30 years (
AUac!zment D )!

Some of the early evidence of this scheme was presented in email notes from Michael Libow,
my realtor, on October \ 8 and \ 9,2004 (Attachment E). In these email notes, Libow repeatedly
demanded that Parks explain Libow's observations regarding phone number switch during fax
communications, that Libow first observed on October 18,2004. Parks refused to respond. To
facilitate the deception, Samaan operated her fax machine(s) without phone line and sender
identifications, in violation of Federal law and FCC regulations. Samaan also communicated
through such lines on behalf of Victor Parks her loan documents to Countrywide, for the
purchase of my home. Such an arrangement could not work with out implicit, if not explicit
approval from the Wholesale Branch. The use of unidentified fax machine for loan origination
and support documentation is not only in violation of the law, but also contradicts Countrywide's
own regulations and policies regarding the use of fax machine. Countrywide, a giant
corporation, has been involved over the years in a number of litigations over the correct use of
fax machines, and certain FCC regulations were written explicitly in relationship to the use of
fax machines by Countrywide. As such, Countrywide has developed specific corporate policies
and instructions regarding the use of fax machines. Given all that, it appears incredible, that
review of Samaan's loan file, obtained through legal subpoena from Countrywide, shows that
almost all the documents supporting the qualification of the Borrower, Samaan, and her
responses to Underwriting Decision/Condition Letters set by the duly assigned Underwriter -
Diane Frazier, originated from an anonymous fax machine, with no phone line number, and no
Fax cover sheet. It appears incredible that this worked, if we are to believe the loan file (
Attachment F] listed such anonymous fax communications found in Countrywide's loan file.

A few transmissions, also listed in Attachment F came from a machine explicitly identified as
Samaan's (Spellbound ). Our hypothesis, based on evidence not shown here, is that these
transmissions were all from an HP Laserjet fax/copier/printer, and Samaan routinely toggled the
settings on the machine between two identities:
a) Anonymous - when communicating on behalf of Parks, as a Loan Broker, and
b) Spellbound - when communicating as herself
But she forgot at times to toggle the identities, and therefore, we find several transmissions that
were intended to be from Parks, but carry the fax imprint Spellbound, and a number of
transmissions by Samaan as Samaan, with fax imprint Anonymous .

Of particular interest is the fact that one of the documents faxed with the imprint Spellbound I
dated October 22, 2004, was a corrupt, invalid Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow
lm'tructions , the key document governing the whole transaction. Also of interest regarding that
transmission is the fact that it apparently did include a page I, that is missing from the document
as presented in the Loan File in response to subpoena. We believe that in this case there was
indeed a fax cover sheet possibly including incriminating infonnation. Therefore, this page was
eliminated from Countrywide's subpoena production in violation of the law. Countrywide's
sophisticated fax systems allow recovery of this missing document even whem the paper copy
was destroyed, and I expect Countrywide to do just that.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court


Of particular interest is also the fact that in anonymous transmission dated October 4.2004. the
document titled Broker and Borrower Document Certification bears the signature of Samaan,
but is missing the signature of both Parks, as Broker, and signature for Acknowledgement by
Authorized Employee (Attachment F). In contrast. the next page, Mortgage Loan Origination
Agreement, bears both Samaan's and Parks' signatures. But the Parks' signature here, and
elsewhere in the loan file bears no resemblance to his signature on court declarations, and is
likely not to be by his own hand (Attachment F )

Broker Document Certification is a key document in the loan file. The lender has no control of
the documents prior to arrival, and a valid Broker Document Certification provides at least
some limited guarantee for the integrity of the documents presented to the Underwriter. Diane
Frazier surely noticed such deficiencies and others that raised concerns for mortgage fraud.
Therefore, she included in the Underwriting Decision/Condition Letter of October 14, 2004, as
a condition, to be satisfied prior to loan approval - the receipt of signed Broker Document
Certification . But such signed Broker Document Certification was never received, and is still
missing in the Loan File. Maria McLaurin, after assuming underwriter authority on October 25.
2004, deferred this condition in violation of Countrywide's own regulations (below).

The facts regarding wire fraud can be corroborated by Michael Libow, my realtor. and by Joshua
Allcn Mailman, designated as my Expert Witness in this case (Attachment G ).

Ongoing Real Estate Fraud by Samaan, Parks. and McLuarin against Zernik
I. Fraudulent Inducement
I was not likely to accept Samaan's offer to purchase my residence in 2004. In fact, I first
responded to another offer. I considered a realtor representing herself as a higher risk offer, it
lacked qualification of the buyer by an arm's length neutral party. I also communicated that to
my realtor, and within a fcw days I was presented with an excellent Prequalification Letter on
Pacific Mortgage Consultants letter head, transmitted by fax, and signed by Victor Parks. Such
a Prequalification Letter is also required by the standard Purchase Agreement that was used in
this transaction. Two and a half years later, when I compared the signature on that Ictter with
signatures of Parks on his court declarations, I realized that there was no thread of semblance
bctween them.

The content of that Prequalification Letter had no 'base in reality, and the letter was not based
on a written loan application as required in the standard California Residential Purchase
Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions, which Samaan signed to produce a valid offer to
purchase the house.
Who wrote and signed that letter? On what basis? I don't know.

Additional evidence for Fraudulent Inducement included the fact that Samaan listed in one fax
communication a stock account that she would liquidated to make the initial payment. No such
account ever existed, as she admitted in deposition. In another fax she related that she was a real
estate salesperson who closes a few deals a year. We later learnt that she had never participated
in any real estate transaction whatsoever.

II. Fraud against 7--ernik

430 / 745 j
\
Court File: "Volume IV Continued"
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
Samaan was at that time a cosmetics saleswoman in a department store, represented to us as a
unmarried woman. After I accepted the offer on September 15, 2004, the story was changed, and
she was engaged, to be married within a few days in Hawaii. But later - in her loan applications,
she was listed (apparently by the purported newlywed husband who prepared the applications) as
an Unmarried Jf'omall purchasing the property as Sole Owner. Similarly, in escrow documents
completed in October, she signed on declaration that she was an Unmarried Woman. That
change after my Acceptance, effectively gave the newlywed husband the veto power at close of
Escrow. lfhe wished - he could provide a Quit Claim, otherwise, he could demand to be listed
as co-owner.
Are they married? Are they not? Why they entered this part ofthe fraud? I don't know.

In addition, Samaan was listed in loan applications as a President and Sale Owner of a
corporation - Spellbound Enterprise, Inc, for at least 4 year, with no other employment, and
with income of $400,000 per year from that corporation. Such claims are far fetched. The
corporation was established less than a year earlier, and according to its web page, engaged in
web retail sales of psychic and occult consumer products - "The Supernatural Superstore" -
provided Tarot cards, divining objects, anointment oils, and crystal balls.

The Underwriting process at Countrywide starts/with Phase 1. There is one document that is
clearly, unmistakenly absolutely necessary at this point - a valid, complete Uniform Residential
Loan Application (1003). There is no way that any underwriter could credit detenninations of
any applicant without a 1003, moreover, it is required by Regulatioll B . The 1003, combined
with: Countrywide's proprietary Landsafe Report, and an additional Credit Report issued by the
Loan Broker (in Samaan's case it was Coast Credit) ,are then processed via the proprietary
Clues Expert System to generate the Clues Report.

As it turned out, the compound fraud (funding of an unworthy applicant, and issuing same a
substantially discounted mortgage loan) was not as easy to pull off as the perpetrators assumed.
The local branch Senior Underwriter - Diane Frazier - repeatedly refused to issue credit
detenninations based on invalid Uniform Residelltial Loan Application 1003 showing major
violations of loan program rules. And the Clues Expert System was similarly uncooperative - it
issued a "REFER" detennination (Attachment H). Frazier later lost her job, in part as a result of
her conflict with McLaurin relative to Samaan's loans.

Not being able to issue a credti determination, Frazier, then issued an Underwriting
Decision/Condition Letter, dated October 14, 2004, and bearing her hand signature (Attachment
I). In it she made it clear that Samaan' Loan Application was temporarily suspended, and
Samaan had 10 days to provide new Loan Applications (1003) and other documents. The
conditions as listed by Frazier on 10/14/04 for initial approval are listed below, followed by
Samaan response, in Italics :
I) Acceptable explanation for discrepancies in employment address and phone information -
Samaan never complied with this condition, since her selfemployment was in fact a
fabrication
2) Approval by Corporate Underwriting Office, once a new set of triplicate copies of 1003 with
the 0.75% fees are provided by Samaan
The handling ofthis through Exception Request to Demetrio Gadi is described below

. 1

3) Pricing to be corrected to show the additional 0.75% fee -
Samaan /lever complied with this condition - she refused to pay the applicable fce
4) Samaan to show that she had already deposited $30,000 in Escrow
Samaan had not even paid that deposit yet. She wouldfulfill this condition after Escruw
was canceled.
5) Prov ide copy of the Purchase Agreement
10/22/04 - Samaan faxed a corrupt document ofunknown urigin, 10/25/04 - Samoan
(axed a valid copy
6) Provide 2003 business license showing self employment at same location for 2 years, or
equivalent from CPA
Samaan never complied with this condition - she eventually faxed a business tax
certificate, but it contradicted her employment data
7) Provide Bank Statements for Well Fargo Account to demonstrate availability offunds to
close.
Samaan never complied this condition - she eventually faxed the bank statements - but
then it turned out that the funds were in a joint account with her mother, who would not provide
her with a leiter stating availability ofthe funds.

The list above shows that out of 7 conditions for Initial Approval defined by Frazier on 10/14/04,
and which Gadi instructed McLaurin to uphold, Samaan would never comply with 4 until the
day the applications died through Denial by Countrywide and Withdrawal by Samaan - January
27,2005!

In discussing the Underwriting Letter of October 14,2004, one must realize that it is
misrepresented by both Samaan and Countrywide's Legal Department as the first underwriting
review of this application after its only submission. In fact, the adulterated Date Received
stamps show that there was another submission, and the duly assigned underwriter - Diane
Frazier indeed confirmed that fact. The Loan Applications were first received in San Rafael
around October 1-2, 2004. There was an earlier underwriting review of the application, and a
requirement was set forth for resubmission of valid 1003's. But in mockery of both
Underwriting and Regulation B , the response was to produce an instant resubmission within
San Rafael - take the old 1003's, cross out the Date Received stamps, imprint new Date .
Received without correcting any of the data, and re-scan them as a new application on October
12,2004!
Why is the Legal Department trying to cover this up, when the Loan File clearly shows the
opposite despite their sincere efforts? J can guess.

McLaurin then tried to bypass the local underwriter. She waited until October 25, 2004. Once
the loan was technically closed, she usurped Underwriter's authority, revived the application, and
in violation of Underwriting Conditions issued a referral to Division Underwriting Support -
Demetrio Gadi - for an Exception Request (~ttachmentJ) . That request was an additional
violation of Regulation B:
- it was presented with neither valid 1003 's nor valid Clues Report
- the annual income figure included in it was 10-fold inflated -- from the fictional $400,000 in
the 1003's to $4,000,000!
- credit determinations included in the request were simply made up, with no basis in sound

underwriting principles.

Gadi was most likely infom1cd by Frazier of McLaurin's chicanery well in advance. Careful
reading of his "Approval" communication shows that he really did not a~e anuxception at
ill. The borrower was to add the 0.75%, as previously determined by Frazier, and the borrower
was required to produce new, valid 1003s. Moreover, Gadi reenforced the authority of the local
branch underwriter and determined that the Branch Manager must abide by all conditions and
decisions previously stipulated by Diane Frazier. Moreover, he added new conditions that would
make it practically impossible for McLaurin to get that fraudulent application funded:
• A new Clues Report was to be issued prior to funding
• All documents had to be reviewed by a branch underwriter prior to funding following
Countrywide document quality assurance procedure.
• McLaurin to issue a non-delegated Mortgage Insurance at cost to branch, and
demonstrate a certificate in the file prior to funding.
In fact this Approval by Gadi, reads as a resounding vote of no confidence in the personal
integrity and professional judgement of McLaurin.

I had no knowledge of any of that in 2004, as the seller in the underlying real estate transaction.
But both I and my realtor were getting increasingly alarmed by what appeared as repeated
instances of dishonest dealing or worse and by Samaan's failure to perform. I was also waiting
for Samaan to remove her contingencies prior to making a large deposit on my next dwelling.
But Samaan failed to remove the contingencies, and I subsequently lost the dwelling that I had
chosen as next for me and my family.

By that time, the typical California real estate transaction, with its measured dynamic method of
contingencies, intended to equitably distribute the risks and liabilities as the transaction moves
along from Acceptance to Closing, was turned upside down. It was clear that the buyer would
not be able to close on schedule, but if I waited any longer, she could force me to close at any
time in the future, at will, regardless of whether or not I had secured an alternative dwelling.
And she could also cancel without an significant liability to herself, since she still had not
removed her last two contingencies (Loan and Appraisal).

Therefore, I issued a Notice to Buyer to Perform . In response, I received a letter from buyer in
which she explicitly refused to remove the last contingency (Appraisal), without any
justification. And Parks, the purported Loan Broker, was feeding false information to my realtor
at the same time. From October 14 to October 18, 2004, he never informed Libow, my realtor,
even once of any problem related to the Purchase Agreement. On the contrary, on October 18,
2004 he was communicating that Samaan's Loan was approved, the only remaining condition
being Appraisal Review. Neither couldn't be further than the truth - Samaan's loan was
temporarily suspended pending receipt of valid 1003's. But Samaan would never submit valid
1003's! And on October 19,2004, Parks informed Libow that Review Appraisal would be "in by
Friday", (that was Oct 22, 2004), when in effect, it would be almost a week before Maria
McLaurin would first take over underwriting and order Appraisal Review - in violation of
Underwriting Conditions.

Indeed, Samaan already had in her hand an appraisal that came in at sales price, and lacked any

433 / 745 f \ , J
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" , '
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
loan approval. But in response to the Notice to Perform, she removed the Loan Contingency,
and refused to remove the Appraisal Contingency. Her actions in this regard, and even more so
- the justification she provided in a letter, appeared as yet another dishonest dealing, which in
retrospect they surely were. I then acted within my absolute right and issued Instructioll to
Cancel Escrow.

In short - the loan file indicates the following double history by the time it was produced in
response to a legal subpoena. Needless to say, creating false loan history is another violation of
Regulation B :
Date True History Revised History
I) October 1-2 ? - First submission - October 1-2, 2004? Records eliminated, stamps crossed
out
2) Early October - Underwriting communication requires resubmission of valid 1003's
Records mostly eliminated
3) October 12 - Mock resubmission Now presented as the only Date
Received
4) October 14- 1st Underwriting Letter Prior Underwriting documents mostly
eliminated
5) October 14-25 Ten days allowed to correct 1003's etc Samaan again refused to resubmit
valid 1003's
5) October 25-29 McLaurin attempted Exception Request
6) October 29 2nd Underwriting Letter - Conditional Approval
Original Approval Conditions still not
complied with
6) November 3 lrd Underwriting Letter - Conditional Approval
Original Approval Conditions still not
complied with
7) Jan 27, 200S! Denial of the 2nd lien loan by Countrywide Samaan tried last minute
Withdrawal to avoid Denial
These events in 2004 may appear to some as solely an attempt at fraud against Countrywide,
facilitated by a Countrywide Branch Manager. But in effect, the Purchase Agreement stipulated
that buyer "shall act diligently and in good faith to obtain designated loans ". Therefore, the
fraud was also against the me, as seller. I wanted to sell my house and move in 2004, my life has
been since disrupted, and I am under constant extortion by Samaan as a direct result of that fraud
attempt against Countrywide.

From October 2004 to October 2005, Samaan issued various threats, but waited a year, and when
real estate continued to appreciate, she filed suit for Specific Performance in October 2005, and
immediately placed an abusive Lis Pendens on the property as well. I was instantly left without
any control of my own property, my own finances, no access to my own equity even to finance
my own legal defense against a malicious prosecution, and with no control of my own time of
day for that matter, with frequent court appearances and rolling Ex Parte threats that are
deliberately aimed to harass. I am not able to sell, not even to enter a long term lease, and surely
not to refinance at a time of concerns over swinging interest rates. By now, the property has
appreciated over 30%, but Samaan is demanding to obtain it in a 2004 price! And in between, I
had to defend myself against a malicious prosecution that has completely disrupted my life.

434 / 745
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" i\
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
In November of 2006 I filed a Motion for Expu/lge of Lis Pendens. But in what was probably
the most stunning episode in this whole tale of fraud, Samaan's husband and her counsel,
Mohammad Keshavarzi. companions in fraud under Sheppard alld Mullill name, were allowed
to produce, in what was at best an abuse of discretion, a new set of documents, never produced in
a prior subpoena in an Ex Parte Sur Reply. These documents included:
I) a new Ullderwriting Letter, dated October 26, 2004, never produced by either Countrywide or
Samaan
2) a new letter from McLaurin, endorsing the new Underwriting Letter, and misinterpreting it for
the judge.
3) a new copy of the Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions, never seen before,
never earlier produced by either Countrywide or Samaan
4) a new declaration by Parks
5) a new declaration by Keshavarzi

And a whole new history was made up for the loan approval process:
I) October 14, 2004 - Samaan's loan application was suspended because of missing initial(s) or
signature of seller on the Purchase Agreement
Which one? it was never specified
2) October 22, 2004 - Samaan asked Mara Escrow for a copy of the Purchase Agreement, but
received by fax a copy missing my signature and initials
That was a fabrication. Mara Escrow faxed Samaan (they thought they were
(axing Parks) a copy bearing my signature and initials.
3) After October 22, 2004 - Zernik signed the Purchase Agreement only after October 22, 2004 -
That was anotherfabrication. The copy ofthe Purchase Agreement, forwarded
by Samaan on October 25, 2004 (it came with afax cover sheet identified as Parks) shows my
signature and initials, a fax header imprints show that it is the copy fhat was faxed from Mara
Escrow on October 22. 2004.
3) It was Zcmik who prevented Samaan's loan from being funded by denying her that
initial/signature.
That was of course another fabrication. If one is to name three reasons Samaan's
loan were suspended [ would lists: a) missing valid 1003's, b) missing documentation of funds
and bank accounts, and c) conflicting Residence and Employment data the flagged Samaan as a
potential fraud case by both the Clues Report and the manual Uniform Underwriting
Transmittal form.

It is sufficient to read the correspondence betwecn Libow, my realtor, and Parks, Samaan's Loan
Broker on October 18-19,2004 (Attachment E ) to see that this fabrication had no base in reality.
Parks, in all communications with Libow, never asked for such initials or signature. And Mara
Escrow did fax Parks a valid copy upon his request on October 22,2004, but Parks failed to
provide it to Countrywide until October 25,2004, all well after I canceled escrow.

I first came to realize that something awfully wrong was going on in November 2006. After a
few months of intcnsive learning and investigation, [ finally rcalized that all five documents
listed above, introduced by Keshavarzi and Sheppard Mullin in November 2006, and some
others fi led in that hearing as well, were all products of fraud, a full collaboration between

435 / 745
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" i i,
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
Samaan, Parks, McLaurin, and Keshavarzi. Keshavarzi, Samaan's attorney, described such
allegations as "compiracy t!teory ".

But I repeatedly demanded that Countywide explain how suddenly, in November 2006, a new
Underwriting Letter appeared for a real estate transaction in 2004, after it had been consistently
missing from the Loan File in four (4) repeated subpoenas! And Countrywide eventually
produced in mid April 2007 a series of documents recording Procuremellt of Perjury including
the newly emerged Underwriting Letter and McLaurin's letter that introduced it to court (
Attachment K). With that production, the Legal Department repeatedly claimed, and stated in
writing as well, that all documents related to Samaan v Zemik were produced. Now we arc 2-3
months later, and it was obviously a deceptive claim,

But the Underwriting Letter of October 26, 2004, newly emerged, was not a valid Underwriting
Letter at all. It did not reflect the true loan underwriting process as of October 26, 2004, and it
did not say anything about suspension on October 14, 2004, as a result of missing Zernik's
initials or signatures as claimed by Samaan in court. Yet the Legal Department has consistently
refused to provide any statement to counteract the harm done by McLaurin's fraud, while
McLuarin appears in court as a spokesperson for Countrywide. Instead, the Legal Department
has repeatedly hid behind the irrelevant and false claim that it had complied with its response to
a legal subpoena, and with it appeared that it had considered it fulfilled its obligations.

And then by June 2007, I discovered that already in early April 2007, in response to
investigation by a Federal agency, Countrywide had engage in correspondence that contradicted
McLaurin's claims in court. Countrywide claimed that Samaan's loan would never would have
been funded, regardless of seller's cancellation! Those documents were omitted from production
in violation of the law.

And in correspondence last week, witnessed by Rabbi Bernhard, Countrywide's Legal


Department all of a sudden claimed that an internal investigation had concluded that my
allegations were "without merit But that report was also omitted from subpoena productions!
ft.

At present, it appears that if allowed to continue, this case will surely bring me to bankruptcy -- a
case that represents everything what Bet Tzedek 's mission is to prevent - real estate fraud
perpetrated against a lawful owner by professional crooks. A Countrywide Branch Manager,
which I have never met in my life, and with no discernable reason, has been trying to harm me
by enabling and facilitating fraud by Samaan and Parks against seller, which by now totals
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Together they have scuttled my life plans, and are threatening
to drive me to bankruptcy. I have already been forced to open retirement plans to finance my
defence in a malicious litigation where McLaurin is obviously an accomplice, and Countrywide'S
Legal Department's role is still to be determined.

Attorneys for the Legal Department clearly show no interest in the fact that a Branch Manager
attempted fraud against the bank. In fact attorneys for the Legal Department have been trying to
cover it up by producing partial responses to subpoenas, and at times making deliberately false
representations to the fraud victim. In their most recent email (below), all that was denied. But
in the very same email note was the statement that first made me aware that Countrywide

436 / 745 .,
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" /
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
I I\
engaged in an internal investigation that found my allegations "WithOllt merit ", which had never
been produced in four (4) subpoena productions!

That fact alone shows that my allegations were not "without merit ". for one, I have deciphered
most of the documents in the loan file, and otherwise, months ago I managed to get hold of the
local branch underwriter, Diane Frazier. She confirmed my concerns, and provided me with
invaluable data in understanding some of the missing links. She also provided me with general
information regarding loan underwriting in the San Rafael Wholesale Branch around 2004, that
allowed me (combined with some estimates from elsewhere) to make some estimates of the
scope of fraud conducted in that branch.

My estimate is that Maria McLaurin was single-hand ely involved in facilitating about
$500,000,000 per year in fraud against a government-backed mortgage lender, by effecting
the approval of outlandishly fraudulent mortgage applications that the senior underwriters
refused to approve, even under constant pressure.

Of interest, when I last tried to call Frazier, a man answered the phone, who warned me that I
must never call her again, since she promised Countrywide never to talk about these issues. If
ever called her again, he promised to "come down to LA and gun you down". We
subsequently tried to serve Frazier with subpoena for deposition, but it vanished, had abandoned
her residence within days after my last phone call with her, nowhere to be found. In our last
phone call she doubted that anybody "could bring Maria McLaurin down. "

In SUbpoenas and Meet and Confer I have repeatedly asked for any Internal Audit, Extemal
Audit, Security or Imaging Reports, or data independently gathered from Pipeline Reports for
the relevant months, to corroborate the data in the Loan File. The Loan File, as produced by the
Legal Department, was obviously intended to deceive. There was no way to construct a
coherent, internally consistent underwriting process out of the material in the Loan File as
produced. And despite the intense effort to eradicate conflicting evidence, it still shows that
Samaan's loans were submitted and reviewed prior to October 12, 2004. But attorneys for the
Legal Department repeatedly engaged in deceit, claiming that I was asking for records that were
"non-existent". That claim was repeated even in the recent note .... last week (see below).

None of the extensive email correspondence related to this loan file was ever produced. Such
email correspondence would surely provide much of the missing information. McLaurin herself
explained to me by phone on December 2006, that she had been personally involved in preparing
the original subpoena response, and that she had concluded that Countrywide was not obliged to
produce such digital records in response to legal subpoenas. Instead, Countrywide repeatedly
produced an invalid empty paper form titled "Conversation Logs, San Rafael Branch If. Already
months ago, Diane Frazier informed me that such paper forms have never been used in San
Rafael at least as far back as 1989, the year she started working there.

It is also obvious that critical fax cover sheets or transmittal letters were consistently eliminated
from the loan file. The reason, most likely is that they would have shown that which is obvious -
that Samaan brokered her own loan with the Wholesale Branch, in defiance of the law and
Countrywide regulations. I know enough about Countrywide's systems and practices by now,

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court


and some of the history of Countrywidc's litigation history in relationship to the use of fax
machines. There are even specific federal regulations authored in response to problems arising
from Countrywide's fax machine practicers. Therefore, it is obvious that by 2004 Countrywide
was using sophisticated fax machines that would allow retrieval of any lost paper copies from
transmissions. And Countrywide staff was supposedly trained in FCC regulations, and security
regulations as well, not to accept loan documents arriving from an anonymous machine, with no
phone line listed, and with no fax cover sheet. And if that was indeed the case - then there
should have been an Internal Audit report reviewing these instances.

The buyer, who in 2004 had a check for a $15,000 deposit bounce twice for NSF, has now spent
by some estimates around $200,000 on legal fees. And strangely enough, attorney Keshavarzi
seems particularly interested in protecting McLaurin, the Branch Manager, who is not even their
client. [£1 return, the Branch Manager supplied buyer with fraudulent claims, fraudulent bank
documents, and made statements and declarations in court that form the foundation of this
malicious prosecution.

The damage caused to me by this malicious and illegal conduct of McLaurin is enormous, and is
compounded by the day.

I sent last week a couple of email requests to Mr Mozilo and Mr Samuels marked "Urgent", and
"Personal". I have nevcr heard back from either of you. Instead, I am got a recycled obfuscating
response from the same Legal Department attorney who has been deceiving me for almost a year
now, claiming that Countrywide complied in full with Legal Subpoenas, etc. It is the same
attorney who used a claim of pious observance of the Jewish holiday of Passover to avoid
showing up in Court to defend his position. As a father who raised his children in the Jewish
faith, I found that particularly offensive and despicable.

In a previous letter I have reduced my request to a declaration of nine words by an officer of the
corporation, a repeat of the statement that I was informed by Thrift Supervisors (Federal
Banking Regulators) was used by Countrywide to fend off investigation into this issue:
Samaan's first lien loan would never have been funded . In response I got a refusal by the same
attorney.

I would still like to believe that I would get a positive response if you knew the facts in this
matter, which were therefore provided here for your review in rather great detail. I still believe
that those who would be hosting the Justice Ball later this month, celebrating with many in the
law community, would not allow this to stand.

In A.ttachment I is a copy of the legitimate Underwriting Letter of October 14, 2004. [n


Attachment K (and Exhibits 24 and 28 in the text below) is the newly found Underwriting
Letter, that first appeared in Countrywide's productions in April 2007, but appeared in court,
through McLaurin, in November 2006. This newly found Underwriting Letter has been the
center-point of fraudulent statements. These fraudulent statements can be summarized as
follows:

I
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
COUNTRYWIDE SUSPENDED DECISION ON PLAINTIFF'S LOAN APPLICATION
BECAUSE ZERNIK HAD NOT SENT THE FULLY EXECUTED PURCHASE
AGREEMENT. SUCH SUSPENSION TOOK EFFECT ON OR AROUND OCTOBER 14,
2004. SUCH SUSPENSION WAS EVIDENCED BY A DOCUMENT PRESENTED IN
EXHIBIT #24 IN OPPOSITION, AND AGAIN AS PART OF EXHIBIT #28 IN THE
SUR-REPLY.

Following arc some examples of statements (in quotes) from offending filings that resulted
from this fraudulent Countrywide document, followed by my statements describing the
true facts in this matter:

a) Plaintiff, through her Attorney of Record, in the Sur-Reply Brief p7, referring to Opposition
Exhibit #24, stated:
"The following week, on Friday, October 15, Parks learned that the lender was suspending a
decision on the loan because defendant had not yet provided Parks with a signed Purchase
Agreement (Parks Dec I ~ 11, Exh 24)"
This statement is repeated numerous times, but it is false and deliberately misleading. Exhibit
#24 is an invalid, false and misleading document.

b) Victor Parks in his declaration in the Opposition to the Motion (Exhibit #100), p5 states:
" II. The following week, on Friday, October 15, I learned that the lender, Countrywide was
suspending a decision on the loan because Zemik had not yet sent me the fully executed
Purchase Agreement. Attached hereto as Exhibit 24 is a true and correct copy of Countrywide's
notice which states the reason for the suspension."
The document presented in Exhibit #24 is an invalid and inadmissible document. Att
Keshavarzi tried to get it authenticated by Maria McLaurin, Bank Manager in Countrywide (
Exhibit #105). She refused to do so (Exhibit #105), yet he included this document once in the
Opposition, Exhibit #24, and again in the Sur-Reply, Exhibit #28.
This document was never included by Countrywide in subpoenas as part of the Underwriting
Decision/Condition Letters. It was not part of Countrywide's Loan File.
This document was created on October 26, 2004, and not on October 15 or earlier, as implied
here.
This document never stated the reason for the suspension as claimed in the previous sentence of
Parks' declaration.
The claim in Paragraph II, af\d Exhibit #24 are false and deliberately misleading.

c) Again, on p6 of Victor Parks' declaration in the Opposition to the Motion, he stated:


" 16. The only reason Countrywide did not approve the appraisal of the property was that we did
not timely receive the Preliminary Title Report and the executed Purchase Agreement."
This statement is lacking any valid evidence. This claim is false and misleading.

d) Plaintiff, through her Attorney of Record, in the Sur-Reply Brief p3, and Exhibit #28,
stated:
"Second, to remove any doubt that Countrywide suspended Samaan's loan because it had not
yet received a signed Purchase Agreement, attached hereto is Exhibit 28 to the Supplemental
Declaration of Victor Parks. Exhibit 28 is a letter from Countryside to Victor Park, dated

439 / 745
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" , ,'" .. -
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
i. __ 'I-.
il t ~¥
November 6, 2006, confinning that Countrywide did, in fact, cancel Ms Samaan's loan because
defendant had not yet provided her with a fully executed Purchase Agreement."
This statement is lacking any valid evidence. This statement is false and misleading.

e) Victor Parks, in his Supplemental Declaration in the Sur-Reply stated:


"Attached hereto as Exhibit 28, is a true and correct copy of a letter I received from Countrywide
Home Loans, Inc., dated November 6,2006, confirming that on or around October 14,2004,
Countrywide suspended the processing ofMs Samaan's loan because they had not yet received a
copy of the fully executed Purchase Agreement. This letter is accompanied by the actual Notice
of Suspension that Countrywide sent me in October 2004."
This statement is lacking any valid evidence. This statement is false and deliberately misleading.

This fraudulent Underwriting document, together with Maria McLaurin's contributions have
since become the corner stone of this malicious fraudulent prosecution. They are now featured
prominently in an incredible Motion for Summary Judgement, pending hearing in a few weeks.

Mr Samuels and Mr Mozilo, you have been provided by now with sufficient materials to
figure out the situation. Uyou need any additional documents, please let me know
immediately. Lack of action by you would surely permit further fraud. This perversion
and subversion of justice has proceeded uninterrupted for months in the Courthouse in
Santa Monica! It is time to bring it to an end.

Mr Samuels and Mr Mozilo, I call upon you to uphold your personal duties to safeguard
the integrity of operations of Countrywide, and immediately stop this illegal conduct by
McLaurin and do all that is necessary to ensure that I am protected from any continuation
of this malicious, harassing prosecution, to the degree that it is reliant on Countrywide
employee, Maria McLaurin.

Left uninterrupted, this malicious prosecution, based on fraud, will surely rob me of my
savings, and ruin my life. It has already caused my to neglect my business, my children,
and social obligations. It has caused me enormous financial losses, relative to my means,
and it promises to leave me bankrupt.

Given Mr Samuels position in Bet Tzedek , I call upon you to respond to the simple
questions below, so that I may remove this abomination from the LA Superior Courthouse
prior to the Justice Ball !

Please respond to the following guesitons by Tuesday, July 2, 2007, 5:00pm

Regarding the document purported to be an authentic and valid Countrywide Underwriting


Decision/Condition Letter (,4ttachment K).

I) Was this document a valid true and correct Countrywide Underwriting Letter?

2) Was this lctter dated October 14, 2004, as was represented in Court?

Sullject: PLEASE ASK SANDOR SAMUELS TO STOP REAL ESTATE FRAUD

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COUNTRYWIDE* (NYSE:CFC) SUB-PRIME LEADER SEEKS PROTECTIVE ORDER


AGAINST DR JOSEPH ZERNIK
Countrywide's Mozilo and Samuels Complicit in Real Estate Fraud
Beverly iii lis, July 4 In Samaan v Zernik , heading for trial, an invalid Countrywide document,
dated October 26, 2004, was declared as dated October 14, 2004 -- deceiving the court and
committing fraud against Dr Zernik. The fraud was committed by collusion ofNivie Samaan
and Maria McLaurin, Countrywide Branch Manager. rn 2004 McLaurin and Samaan also
colluded in Mortgage fraud attempt and in Wire Fraud. Based on data for 2004, as estimated by
Diane Frazier, fanner Senior Underwriter, McLaurin also probably personally approved about
$0.5 billion per year (!) in grossly fraudulent government-backed loans. '
Angelo Mozilo is Internal Audit Committee Chair, and Sandor Samuels is Chief Legal
Officer at Countrywide. Samuels also served in public positions in Ziegler School for
Rabbinical Studies, and in Adat Ari EI, and is now President at Bet Tzedek (frce legal services),
where he prominently called for Justice and real estate fraud prevention. Upcoming Beth
Tzedek Justice Ball, July 28, 2007 raises funds to provide "equaljuslicefor all ".
In recent days, Dr Zemik approached three community dignitaries - R Jonathan Bernhard of
Adat Ari EI, Hon RW Schoettler, and R Joseph Shusterman ofChabad in appealing to Mr
Samuels and Mr Mozilo to stop real estate fraud in Samaan v Zernik. Both Countrywide officers
declined to take action, and Countrywide announced it will seek protective order against Dr
Zernik in Santa Monica Court, Friday, July 6, 2007, 9:00am. Unusually broad protective order
for a public figure like Samuels violates the Freedom of Speech.
*Countrywide here denotes CountryWIde Financial Institution and all its subsidiaries and affiliates

Subject: PLEASE ASK SANDOR SAMUELS TO STOP REAL ESTATE rRAUD

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COUNTRYWIDE* (NYSE:CFC) SUB-PRIME LEADER SEEKS PROTECTIVE ORDER


AGAINST DR JOSEPH ZERNIK
Countrywide's Mozilo and Samuels Complicit in Real Estate Fraud
Beverly lIills, July 4 In Samaan v Zernik , heading for trial, an invalid Countrywide document,
dated October 26, 2004, was declared as dated October 14,2004 -- deceiving the court and
committing fraud against Dr Zernik. The fraud was committed by collusion ofNivie Samaan
and Maria McLaurin, Countrywide Branch Manager. In 2004 McLaurin and Samaan also
colluded in Mortgage Fraud attempt and in Wire Fraud. Based on data for 2004, as estimated by
Diane Frazier, former Senior Underwriter, McLaurin also probably personally approved about
$0.5 billion per year (!) in grossly fraudulent government-backed loans.
Angelo Mozilo is Internal Audit Committee Chair, and Sandor Samuels is Chief Legal
Officer at Countrywide. Samuels also served in public positions in Ziegler School for
Rabbinical Studies, and in Adat Ari EI, and is now President at Bet Tzedck (free legal services),
where he prominently called for Justice and real estate fraud prevention. Upcoming Beth
Tzedek Justice Ball, July 28,2007 raises funds to provide "equaljuslicefor all It.

In recent days, Dr Zemik approached three community dignitaries - R Jonathan Bernhard of


Adat Ari EI, Hon RW Schoettler, and R Joseph Shusterman of Chabad in appealing to Mr
Samuels and Mr Mozilo to stop real estate fraud in Samaan v Zernik. Both Countrywide officers
declined to take action, and Countrywide announced it will seek protective order against Dr
Zernik in Santa Monica Court, Friday, July 6, 2007, 9:00am. Unusually broad protective order
for a public figure like Samuels violates the Freedom of Speech.

hinges on an invalid Country\',ride* document(I, 11)**, dated October 26,2004,

and committing fraud against Dr Zernik. Nivie Samaan and Maria Mclaurin ­

estate transaction to purchase Zernik's residence. At present ~ it is running as


malicious prosecution that is threatening to rob Dr Zernik of everything he
O\\TIS in broad daylight!
The safeguards for the integrity of operations at Countrywide can be viewed as
largely vested in Angelo Mozilo - Chair of the Internal Audit Committee and
Sandor Samuels - Chief Legal Officer. Samuels is also a very public figure in
Los Angeles, serving as President of the Board at Bet Tzedek (House of
Justice)(A,AI). It is a worthy provider offree legal services for the needy,
which deserves public support and funding. On Bet Tzedek's web pages(A, AI)
Samuels publicly and prominently called for Justice and for real-estate fraud
prevention. Moreover, he invited any who needed such help to approach Bet
Tzedek... The upcoming Beth Tzedek Justice Ball, July 28,2007 a large scale
charity event, raises funds to provide "equal justice for all".
Samuels andlor Mozilo could eliminate this case of real estate fraud in
minutes. It would be sufficient to clarify for the court the date that the
Underwriting Letter of October 26, 2004h, I was issued 0, It). Both
Country'vvide officers declined to take any action and refuse to answer any
questions in this regard. Instead, Countrywide sought a Protective Order(N),
and Bet Tzedek's web pages that mentioned Samuels and his calls for justice
were hastily removed CA, AI).
Most notable instances of "harassment ", described in court filing(P) on Friday
were that Zernik left an envelope for an Officer (unnamed) of Countrywide at
the offices of Bet Tzedek(A,AI), and that Zernik discussed Samaan v Zernik,
and Samuels' role in it, in a private meeting, with a rabbi in that rabbi's
chambers. While the court did not grant Samuels and Mozilo their wish on
Friday, it left open for them a regular hearing, already scheduled for July 23,
2007, in the Santa Monica Courthouse, Dept 1.
Samuels declared himself on Bet Tzedek's web pages as "overseeing litigation
affairs" at Countrywide(A,AI). Combined, Samuels' conduct in Samaan v
Zernik, where he continues to assume the right not to respond to an ongoing
real-estate fraud committed under Countryvvide's name, and his attempt to
abuse justice and quash First Amendment rights of a victim of abuse by
Countrywide, is inconsistent "vith the goals of Bet Tzedek(Q). He is already a
Liability rather than an Asset.
Samuels must immediately resign from any association with Bet Tzedek. His
conduct relative to real estate fraud and First Amendment rights of a real-estate
fraud victim, is contrary to the goals of Bet Tzedek.

Dear Mr. Green: St LoUIS

Washington, DC

As you know, we are attorneys for Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. and related
companies ("Countrywide"), and its officers and employees, who are the targets of a And Bryan Cave,
A Multinational Parrnersh,p.
campaign of harassment by Joseph Zemik directed at them and at their personal
London
associates. Please provide this letter to your client.

During the past several months, Dr. Zemik has repeatedly contacted Countrywide
officers and employees concerning this lawsuit, despite express notice to Dr. Zernik
that these individuals are represented by counsel and despite numerous requests that
Dr. Zernik direct all communications concerning the case to Todd A. Boock of the
Countrywide legal department or other designated counsel. Dr. Zemik has blatantly
ignored thesc requcsts and his continued practice of directly contacting represented
persons is improper and harassing.

Furthennore, Dr. Zernik has contacted personal associates of the employees


regarding his claJms, including the charity Bet Tzedek where one of Countrywide's
officers is President, a rabbi at the synagogue attended by the same officer, other
religious leaders, a retired Superior Court judge, and "others in the legal and Jc"'W-ish
conununity in ws Angeles," according to Dr. Zernik. Recently, we learned that Dr.
Zemik has also contacted individual members of the Bet Tzcdek board of directors.
None of these third parties has anything to do with this lawsuit, and the only

conceivable purpose for your client's contacts was to embarrass Countrywide's officer in an attempt to
pressure Countrywide.

Dr. Zcrnik has published scurnlous attacks on Countrywide and its officers to third parties, bringing
their business practices into disrepute by falsely accusing them of real estate fraud, mortgage fraud,
and wire fraud, and of colluding with the plaintiff. These conununications are defamatory,
outrageous, and malicious.

On behalf of Countrywide and its officers and employees, we hereby demand as follows:

1. That Joseph Zernik immediately cease and desist from contacting represented Countrywide

officers and employees, and shall communicate solely with Countrywide'S designated legal counsel

regarding this case in the future;

2. "That Joseph Zemik immediately cease and desist from contacting any personal associates of
Countrywide's officers and employees about this case or the business practices of Countrywide and its
officers and employees;

3. That Joseph Zemik retract the false and malicious statements that he has published to third
parties, including but not limited to his defamatory statements that Countrywide and its officers and
employees have committed fraud and colluded with plaintiff. Retraction should be made in the same
form and to the same persons to whom the defamatory statements were made, and proof of the
retractions shall be provided to the undersigned; and

4. That Joseph Zernik refrain from publishing any new defamatory statements about

Countrywide and its officers and employees.

Countrywide and its officers and employees reserve all of their rights against Joseph Zemik.

Dear Mr. Green: Shangha,

St louis
We write again to demand that your client Joseph Zemik cease and desist from Washington. DC
harassing Countrywide and its officers and employees.
And Bryan CEve,
A Multin6tion61 Partnership.
As you know, we represent Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. and related companies
("Countrywide"), and its officers and employees, who continue to be the targets of a london

campaign of harassment by Joseph Zemik directed at them and through their


personal and business associates. Please give this second cease and desist letter to
your client.

On July 6, 2007, we sent you a cease and desist letter ill response to Dr. Zernik's
unrelenting harassment of Countrywide officers and employees, his defamatory
statements about them, and his repeated efforts to contact personal and business
associates of Countrywide officers, including religious leaders, a retired judge, and
members of charity boards - despite the fact that none of these third parties have
anything to do with this lawsuit. Dr. Zernik's contacts with them were scurrilous and
malicious, and were intended solely to injure the reputation of Countrywide's officers
and employees in the community, and to attempt to pressure Countrywide.

The July 6 cease and desist letter demanded the following:

1. That Joseph Zemik immediately cease and desist from contacting represented Countrywide
officers and employees, and shall communicate solely with Countrywide's designated legal counsel
regarding this case in the future;

2. That Joseph Zemik immediately cease and desist from contacting any personal associates of
Countrywide's officers and employees about this case or the business practices of Countrywide and its
officers and employees;

3. That Joseph Zernik retract the false and malicious statements that he has published to third
parties, including but not limited to his defamatory statements that Countrywide and its officers and
employees have committed fraud and colluded with plaintiff. Retraction should be made in the same
form and to the same persons to whom the defamatory statements were made, and proof of the
retractions shall be provided to the undersigned; and

4. That Joseph Zernik refrain from publishing any new defamatory statements about
Countrywide and its officers and employees.

We have learned that Dr. Zemik flagrantly ignored these demands, and published new defamatory
statements to personal and business associates of Countrywide's officers and employees. On Monday
morning, July 9, 2007, at 3:36 a.m. and 5:33 a.m., Dr. Zernik sent outrageous emails to various
recipients regarding Countrywide and its officers, calling for the resignation of Countrywide's Chief
I~gal Officer as President of the charity Bet Tzedek's Board of Directors, and maliciously mocking his
involvement with the organization. As with the previous emails about which we complained, Dr.
Zernik's latest emws continue to falsely accuse Countrywide of committing mortgage fraud and wire
fraud, which is outrageous. The recipients of Dr. Zernik's latest scurrilous etnails included not only
members of the Bet Tzedek Board of Directors, but also others in the local business community.

These false and offensive communications must stop. Dr. Zernik has abandoned all professional
decency, and continues to mount an unprovoked assault on Countrywide and its officers and
employees. He has spread his defamatory statements across the community to persons with no
connection with his lawsuit. We reiterate our demand that Dr. Zernik must cease and desist.

Countrywide and its officers and employees reserve their rights to take any and all available legal

action against Dr. Zernik, and to seek all available remedies against him.

ME'IORA:\DU"t OF POINTS A~D AUTHORITIES

3 I. INTRODUCTION
4

5 II This case is about Nivie Samaan's ("Samaan" or "plaintiff') request for specific

6 II performance of an agreement to purchase a home for Samaan, her husband and their three

7 II daughters. In September 2004, Samaan and defendant Joseph Zcrnik ("defendant") entered

8 II into an agreement for defendant to sell to Samaan the property located at 320 S. Peck Drive,

9 II Beverly Hills, California 90212 (the "Property"). Escrow was set to close on November 1,

10 II 2004. The undisputed facts show that from the start de fendant consistently delayed

11 II performing every single one of his obligations.

12 II Defendant sought to expunge the lis pendens in November 2006, arguing, as he does

13 II again in his new motion, that Samaan was required to remove the appraisal contingency by

14 II October 11,2004, but did not do so. This Court denied defendant's motion. Defendant's

15 II renewed motion should also fail because it adds nothing of substance to the first; it is little

16 II more than an amalgam of untenable conspiracy theories, unsupported accusations, half­

1711 truths, and outright lies. For example, defendant now claims that plaintiff participated in a
18 II conspiracy with Countrywide to misrepresent her financial ability to purchase the property

19 II from him. However, he offers no evidence, other than his own self-serving, hearsay-riddled

20 II declaration, in support of this claim. Moreover, it is entirely unclear how this alleged

21 II conspiracy was to have played out. Defendant also claims that plaintiff submitted an

22 II "adulterated" version of the purchase agreement in connection with her opposition to his

23 II first motion to expunge. However, he offers no evidence that this is so, but offer only his

24110vm testimony on "information and belief' that the document is a forgery. This claim

25 borders on the absurd. Gail Hersho\vitz, the parties' escrow agent and a disinterested

26 \vitncss has recently signed a declaration confirming that the purchase agreement Samaan

27 II provided to the Court with her opposition to defendant's first motion to expunge is authentic.

28 II Declaration of Gail Hershowitz, Exhibit A. In fact, while defendant's motion is only

I

supported by his declarations, plaintiff has provided the Court with declarations from every

2 II disinterested party who \vas involved with the transaction. including Ms. Hershmvitz and
3 II \;laria \kLaurin of Countrj\vide.

.f II Defendant also argues that plaintiff could not have obtained a loan to purchase the

511 property. Yet, a disinterested witness, Countrywide, has testified that plaintift~ in fact,

6 II would have qualified for a loan had defendant followed through on the transaction. Plaintiff

7 II has also provided evidence that at all relevant times she has been ready, willing and able to
8 II purchase the Property. Finally, defendant claims that the notice of lis pendens was not

9 /I served on him by certified mail. This is an outright lie. With this opposition plaintiff has
10 II provided evidence that her fonner counsel Mr. Jay Stein served the Notice of Lis Pendens

11 lion four different addresses he had for defendant before recording it. In short, defendant's

12 II second motion to expunge adds nothing to the first. Accordingly, the Court should deny this

13 II motion for the all same reasons it denied that one.

14 II Samaan will likely prevail in this action because the following facts are undisputed:

15 • Defendant was required to provide plaintiff with a fully executed Purchase

16 II Agreement on September 27, 2004. Request for Judicial Notice at Exh. 1, Declaration of

17 II Joseph Zemik, dated September 19, 2006, at, Exh. 5.

18 • Defendant did not provide plaintiff with a fully executed Purchase Agreement

19 II until after 3:24 p.m. on October 22, 2004, one business day before he attempted to cancel

20 II escrow. Declaration of Gail Hershowitz, ,.;~ 2-3, Exh. A; Declaration of Victor Parks, ~ 14,

21 II Exh. 24.

22 II • The only reason Countrywide would not approve the appraisal of the Property

23 II (which would have enabled Samaan to remove the appraisal contingency) was because it

24 II had not been provided with a fully executed Purchase Agreement. McLaurin decl., Exh. A.

II. STATEMENT OF RELEVANT FACTS

3 A. Plaintiff. Her Husband-to-Be and Their Three Children Search for a Suitable

4 Home

5 In March 2004. plaintiff and her then tiance became engaged and began searching for

6 II a home to purchase in Beverly Hills in anticipation of their \vedding on September 18, 2004,

711 in Hawaii, (Declaration of Nivie Samaan ("Samaan Decl."), ~i 2). At the time, plaintiffs

8 II fiance and his three daughters lived together in his tv.'o-bedroom apartment in Beverly Hills;

9 II plaintiff did not live with them. (ld.). Their search for a new home was limited by two key

10 II factors: (1) Their budget was approximately $1.7 million, and (2) because their children
II II were enrolled in high school and middle school in Beverly Hills, their new home had to be

12 II located in the Beverly Hills area so that their children could remain in the same schools.

13 II (Id.).

14 II In the hot real estate market of 2004, plaintiff and her fiance found it nearly

15 II impossible to find a house in Beverly Hills within their budget. (Id. at ~ 3). Between March

16 II and September 2004, they placed several offers on various homes, but none were accepted.

17 II (Id.). Eventually, in early September 2004, approximately two weeks before their wedding

18 II date. plaintiff and her fiance found the property at the heart of this dispute, located at 320

19 II South Peck Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90212, less then two blocks from their

20/1 apartment.] (Id.).

21

2211 B. After Much Delav, Defendant Accepts Plaintiffs Second Counter-Offer and

23 Promises Her Anv Additional Time She May Need

24 The property was, and is, owned by defendant. His agent in the transaction was

25 II :Vlichael Libow of Coldwell Banker ("Libow"). On September 4, 2004, plaintiff presented

2611 1
In August 2004, plaintiff moved into her fiance's two bedroom apartment hoping that
27 soon the entire family would move to a new house. (Samaan Decl., .. 2). Plaintiff,
her fiance. and their three children all currently live in the same two-bedroom
28 apartment. (Id.).

an offer to purchase the property via facsimile to Libmv. (Samaan Decl., ~ 4; Exh. I). Six

2 II days later, on September 10, 2004, defendant, through his agent, presented plaintiff with a

3 II counteroffer. (Exh. 2). At the same timc, Libow infomlcd plaintiff that defendant had

411 received multiple offcrs on the property. (Samaan Decl., ~ 4). The next day, on

5 II September 11, 2004, plaintiff accepted all of the terms of defendant's counter-offer with the

6 II exception of one item and faxed her second counter-offer to defendant. (ld. at ~ 4; Exh. 3).

7 II In the t~lcsimile cover sheet accompanying her second counter-offer, plaintiff informed

8 II Libow that she was leaving town on Thursday, September 16, 2004, for her wedding in

9 II Hawaii and was going to be out of town for one week. (Exh. 3). Plaintiff informed

10 II defendant, however, that she was prepared to act expeditiously: "[M]y lender has my loan

11 II application, financials and is ready to start on my verbal. Please let me know as soon as you

12 II hear from the seller." Od.). Plaintiff informed defendant that she was going to "Iiquidate[]

13 II stock for the down payment, but will not be back until" September 23. ([d.).

14 II Defendant did not immediately respond to plaintiffs second counter-offer. (lQ. at

IS II ~ 5). Plaintiff waited until September 13,2004, and not having heard from defendant, wrote

16 II again to Libow urging a response to her second counter-offer: "I truly want the house and

1711 would love to make it a home for my family and me." (Id. at ~ 5; Exh. 4). In the same

18 II letter, plaintiff informed defendant that because she had to leave town for her wedding, she

19 II would formally withdraw her offer if she did not hear back from defendant soon. (Exh.4).

20 II She urged defendant to respond promptly because she would "find it impractical to continue

21 II negotiations and/or meet the terms set forth in the C.A.R. Purchase Agreement, dated

22 II September 4,2004, beyond this date" if defendant delayed any longer. Od.).

23 II Again, defendant did not immediately respond but waited until September 15, at

2411//:34 p.m. to accept plaintiffs second counter-offer. (Id. at -: 5; Exh. 5). Because defendant

25 II faxed his acceptance late in the evening, plaintiff did not actually receive it until the next

26 morning, as she \vas preparing to leave for her wedding. (Id. at ~ 6). That morning, before

27 leaving for the airport, plaintiff faxed defendant an addendum to the Purchase Agreement

28 II changing the acceptance date to September 23. (Id. at -: 6; Exh. 6). Plaintiff informed

17 II her return, on Friday, September 24, plaintiff immediately began working on the transaction.

18110d.). She ordered a home inspection and submitted the necessary financial documents to

19 II her loan broker, Victor Parks ("Parks") at Pacific Mortgage Consultants for approval. (ld.;

21 I[ escrow company, which defendant had selected, Mara Escrow Company ("Mara Escrow")

22 II and requested the Escro\v Package. (Samaan Decl., ~l 7). Mara Escrow responded that it

23 II could not deliver the Escrow Package because defendant had not yet provided Mara Escrow

24 [I with the signed Purchase Agreement. (ld.).

25 II After the weekend, on Monday September 27, plaintiffs loan broker, Parks, began

26 II processing her loan and ordered an appraisal of the Property. (Parks Dec!.. t; 6). The next

5 II herself contacted Mara Escrow and pleaded that they send her the Escrow Package.

7 II from Libow. (Id.).


8 II Meanwhile, plaintiff proceeded on schedule \vith her obligations under the parties'

9 II agreement and completed her home inspection on September 30. (Id. at ~ 10). The next day

10 II Parks again contacted Mara Escrow and asked that they rush the Escrow Package to him.
11 II (Parks Decl., ~ 8). Parks did not receive a response to his request and notified plaintiff that

12 II he still had not received the Escrow Package. (ld.). Again, plaintiff continued on schedule

13 II and completed her appraisal of the Property on Saturday, October 2. (Samaan DecL ~ 10 ).

14 II The following Monday, October 4, Libow and plaintiff met at the property to review the

20 II for the Escrow Package. (Parks Decl., ~ 9). Parks told Mara Escrow that he was ready to

21 II submit the loan for approval but needed the Preliminary Title Report and the fully signed

22 II Purchase Agreement before he could do so. (Id.). Later that day, Mara Escrow left a

711 D. Defendant Finallv Sends Some, But Not All, of the Necessarv Documents to
8 Plaintiff and Parks
l) On Wednesday, October 6, plaintiff, at Parks' urging, contacted Mara Escrow and

10 II Libow and again asked them to send the Escrow Package. (Samaan Decl., ~ll). Finally, on

11 II Wednesday, October 6, after the close of business, at 5:38 p.m., Mara Escrow sent some, but

12 II not all, of the necessary documents to plaintiff and her loan broker, Parks. (ld.; Parks Decl.,

13 II ~\ 10). Specifically, Mara Escrow delivered the Escrow Instructions and the Preliminary

1411 Title Report to plaintiff and Parks. (Samaan Dec!., ~11; Parks Decl.. '110). Mara Escrow

15 II did not, however, deliver the fully-signed Purchase Agreement. (Samaan Dec!.. ~ I L Parks

16 II Decl., ~! 10). Because Mara Escrow sent the document after the close of business, plaintiffs

17 broker did not receive the documents until the next day, Thursday, October 7. (Samaan

18 Decl., '111; Parks Decl., ~ 10). One day later, Parks notified Libow that he was submitting

19 II the loan to the lender for approval but that the lender would not receive it until October 12,

20 II because Monday October 11 was a holiday. (Parks Dec!., ~ 10). The following week, on

21 II Friday, October 15, Parks learned that the lender was suspending a decision on the loan

22 because defendant had not yet provided Parks with a signed Purchase Agreement. (Parks

23 Dec!.. 'j 11). Parks immediately contacted Mara Escrow and urged them to send him the

24 II signed Purchase Agreement. (ld.). Mara Escrow told Parks that they had not yet received

25 the signed Purchase Agreement from defendant. Od.). The following Monday, October 18,

26 Mara Escrow sent Parks some additional documents, but still not the fully-signed Purchase

27 Agreement. ([d.). Not having received the signed Purchase Agreement, Parks pleaded with

8 II the lender Countrywide to conditionally approve the loan. (lct.).

E. The Lender Approves the Loan and Plaintiff Removes the Contingencies Before

2 Defendant Cancels Escrow

3 On \;10nday October 18, at Parks' urging, Countrywide conditionally approved the

41110an. (Parks Decl .. ~ 12). Parks informed Libow of this fact and told him that the loan is

5 II conditioned on the appraisal review due by the end of the week, October 22, and the lender

() II receiving the signed Purchase Agreement. (ld.). On the same day, Libow faxed plaintiff a
7 II Notice to Perform and remove Loan & Appraisal Contingencies. (Samaan Dec! .. ~ 12). On

8 II Wednesday, October 20, plaintiff removed the Loan and Preliminary Title Contingencies

9 II and wrote a letter to Libow explaining that as the loan's approval was conditioned on the

10 II appraisal review, she could not remove the appraisal contingency yet. (Samaan Deel., ~ 12;

11 II Exhs. 11, 12).

12 II On Thursday, October 21, Parks contacted Mara Escrow and informed them that he

13 II was ready to order all the loan documents, but could not do so until he received the signed

1411 Purchase Agreement. (Parks DecL ~ 13). On the same day defendant himsclfwrote a letter

15 II to plaintiff telling her that if she did not remove the Appraisal Contingency he would cancel

16 II escrow. (Samaan Decl., ~ 13). Later that day, Libow wrote to plaintiff confirming that

17 II defendant had agreed to extend the deadlines in the parties' agreement and asked for a

1811 closing to be extended from 'Jovember 1 to November 12 to enable defendant to find an

19 II apartment. (Id.; Exh. 13). The next day, Samaan informed Libow that an extension of

20 II closing would be acceptable to her. (Samaan Decl., ~ 13). On Friday, October 22, Mara

21 II Escrow sent Parks a Purchase Agreement and Parks immediately sent it to the lender

22 II Countryv, ide. (Parks Decl., ~! 14, Exh. 24; Hershowitz Dec!.. ~ 3; Exh. A). Parks also

23 II called Libow to provide him with an update. (ld.). Later that day, Libow e-mailed Parks

2411 (copying plaintiff), raising the possibility of a two-week extension of close of escrow to

25 II enable defendant to find an apartment. (ld. at ~ 14). The following Monday, October 25,

Parks received the lender appraisal approval and immediately e-mailed Libow informing

him of the same. (Id. at ~ 15; Exh. 25). Upon learning of this fact, plaintiff immediately

called Libow and told him she was removing the Appraisal Contingency. (Samaan Decl.,

211 Mara EsoO\\. (Samaan Decl .. ~ 14; Exh. 14). At 5:24 p.m., after receiving plaintiffs

3 II removal of all contingencies, Mara Escrow faxed plaintiff the defendant's Cance1Jation of

5 II \vould keep plaintiffs 530,000 deposit as liquidated damages. (Samaan Dccl., ,; 14; Exh.

8 III. ARGUlVIENT

10 II A. Defendant's Motion Consists of Untenable Conspiracy Theories, Unsupported


11 Accusations, Half-Truths, and Outright Lies
12

13 1. Defendant's claim that plaintiff conspired to defraud him is absurd


1411 Defendant claims that plaintiff participated in some sort of broad conspiracy to

15 II misrepresent her financial ability to purchase the property from him. However, he offers no

16 II evidence, other than his own self-serving speCUlation, in support of this claim. Moreover, it
17 II is entirely unclear how this alleged conspiracy was to have played out - had defendant

18 II followed through on the transaction, plainti ff would have had to come up with the purchase

19 II price at some point.

20

21 2. Defendant's "adulteration" claim lacks any basis.

22 Defendant claims that plaintiff submitted an "adulterated" version of the purchase

23 agreement in connection with her opposition to his first motion to expunge. (Plaintiffs

24 II :Vlotion, pp. 9:22-1 I :9). However, he offers no credible evidence indicating that this is so,
25 II such as an "unadulterated" version of the purchase agreement. Moreover, a disinterested
26 witness has testified that the purchase agreement plaintiff submitted is authentic and valid.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
Defendant also claims that plaintiff could not have obtained a loan to purchase the

2 II property. In support of his claim, he cites an incredibly dense document produced by

3 II Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. ("Countrywide") in discovery. (Plaintiffs \Iotion, Exh. 1).

4 II However, the document does not actually say that plaintiff did not qualify for a loan (ld.).

5 II Moreover, a disinterested witness (a branch manager at Country\vide) has testified that

6 II plaintiff would have qualified for a loan had defendant followed through on the transaction.

711 (Declaration afMaria McLaurin ("McLaurin DecL")' 2-5, Exh. A).

9 3. The Notice of Lis Pendens was served on defendant by certified mail.


10 II Defendant claims that the notice of lis pendens was not served on him by certified

11 II mail. This claim is simply untrue. Plaintiff served her notice of lis pendens on defendant by

1211 certified mail. (Declaration of Jay Stein, ~'l2-3, Exhs. A-B).

13

14 B. Defendant Prevented Plaintiff from Performing Her Obligations.

15 Defendant claims again that plaintiff was required to remove the Appraisal

16 II Contingency by October 11, 2004, but did not do so, entitling defendant to cancel escrow.

17 II Defendant is wrong. Plaintiffs inability to remove the Appraisal Contingency by

18 II October 11, 2004, was caused by defendant's own delay and failure to provide plaintiff and

19/1 her lender with documents plaintiff needed to remove the Appraisal Contingency.

20

21 1. Defendant's repeated delays were the Dilly cause of plaintiffs inability to

22 II remove the Appraisal Contingency by October 11,2004.

23 II Civil Code § 1511 provides that prevention by one party will excuse want of

24 II performance or delay on the part of the other. This provision has been applied to real

25 /I property transactions: "The party responsible for the delayed performance cannot cancel the

26 II escrow because of the tardy performance." Miller & Starr, California Real Estate, Escrows

3 II page, to the parties' escrow agent on or before September 27, 2004. (Request for Judicial

4 II Notice, Exh. I, Exh. 5). On September 22, 2004, Libow provided the escrow company with

5 II a copy of the Purchase Agreement, but this copy was not initialed on every page by

6 II defendant and was not signed on page 8 of 8. (Hershowitz Decl .. ~i 2). Defendant himself

7 II has admitted that he did not sign and initial every page of the Purchase Agreement until

8 II "sometime in October 2004". (Request for Judicial Notice, at Exh. 2, p. 10, ~ 4). In late

9 " September and October Samaan, her broker Parks and Mara Escrow repeatedly asked Libow

10 II to ask defendant to go to Mara and sign and initial every page of the Purchase Agreement.

11 II (Samaan Decl., ~~ 5-11);(Parks Decl., 4-13). Libow and defendant ignored these requests.

12 II For example, at Libow's deposition he was asked, "Do you ... recall asking Mr. Zemik to

13 II go to escrow to sign a document?" Libow answered "No, no, no." (Keshavarzi Decl.,

1411 Exh. C. p. 131).

15 II The undisputed facts show that defendant did not go to Mara Eserow to fully execute

16 II the Purchase Agreement until either after 3:42 p.m. on October 22, 2004, one Court day

17 II before he attempted to cancel escrow. (Hershowitz Decl., ~~ 2-5, Exh. A);(Parks Decl.,

18 II Exh. A). On October 22, Victor Parks contacted the parties' escrow officer, Gail

19 II Hershowitz and asked her to send him a copy of the Purchase Agreement signed and

20 II initialed by defendant, so he could forward it to Samaan's lender, Countrywide. (Parks

21 II Dec!., «: 14)(Hershowitz Decl., '13). At 3:42 p.m. on October 22, Hershowitz sent to Parks

22 by bcsimile a copy of the Purchase Agreement in escrow. (Parks Decl., ~ 14,

23 Exh. 24 )(Hershmvitz Decl .. -: 3, Exh. A). This document is not initialed on every page by

24 dcfendant and is not signed on page 8 of 8 by him and shmvs that as of 3:42 p.m.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
The recent case of Ninety Nine Investments, Ltd. v. Overseas Courier Service.

2 11113 Cal. App. ·Hh 1118 (2003) is on point. There, the parties entered into a written

3 II agreement for the buyer to purchase the seller's undivided one-half interest in two
4 II properties. Id. at 1118-20. Escrow instmctions specified a closing date and that time was of
5 II the essence. ld. The seller did not deposit the escrow documents into escrow until three
6 II days before the closing date. [d. He also did not submit other documents required to be

7 II provided to escrow until the date of closing. Id. Meanwhile, the buyer had submitted a loan

8 II application to a bank in order to obtain financing for the purchase of the buildings and had

9 II done nothing to prevent the loan from funding on the closing date. Id. Because the seller
10 II had not provided the necessary documents, the loans did not fund and the escrows did not

11 II close. Id. Subsequently, the seller gave written notice of cancellation of the escrows. The

12 II trial court denied specific performance and the court of appeal reversed. On appeal seller

13 II argued, as defendant does here, that it had the right to cancel escrow because under the

1411 escrow instmctions the buyer was supposed to procure funding by the close of escrow but

15 II did not. The court of appeal rejected this argument: "Overseas' [the seller] failure to timely

16 II comply with its escrow obligations prevented the escrows from closing and the loans from

17 II funding by the closing date when they otherwise would have. Overseas' conduct therefore

18 II operated to excuse appellant's [the buyer] performance by the closing date." 1d. at 1135-36.

19 II Here, just as in Ninety Nine Investment, defendant's delivery of the Preliminary Title

20 II Report and signed Purchase Agreement were necessary to enable plaintiff to procure a loan

21 II and remove the Appraisal Contingency. (Parks, Decl. -;fJ 3, 16). Plaintiff was ready, willing

2. Defendant waived the time provisions in the contract because he delayed in

2 performing his obligations.

3 II California law provides that "even though the [escrow] instructions reqUIre

4 II pcrformance by a specific date, delay in performance may constitute a waiver of such a

5 II provision." Miller & Starr, California Real Estate, Escrows ~ 6:21 (3rd Ed. 20(0). "A party
6 II \vaivcs performance within the time specified in the [escrow] instructions ... if it permits
7 II the time to elapse without objection and without insisting on timely performance." ld. at
8 II ~ 6:22. Here, as an initial matter, time was not of the essence in the Purchase Agreement.

9 II To the contrary, during the life of the transaction, defendant delayed, asked for extensions

I I) II and failed to rigidly enforce any deadlines. For example, defendant's delays prevented

11 II plaintiff from removing the Loan Contingency until October 18, after the deadline for her to

12 II do so, but defendant never complained. Defendant also agreed to numerous extensions of

13 II deadlines. Defendant's pattern of delay, requests for extensions and failures to insist on

14 II strict compliance with time prOVIStonS, constitute a waiver of the proVISion requmng

15 II plaintiff to remove the Appraisal Contingency by October 11. Tancredi v. Garrett,

16 11210 Cal. App. 2d 818, 823 (1962) (holding that defendant waived the time provision in the

17 II escrow agreement because "he collaborated in the continuance of plaintiffs efforts to meet

18 It the contingencies, but had frequently waived time rigidity in the culmination of the sale).

19 II Amazingly, even with all of defendant's delays, because of the diligence of plaintiff

20 II and her broker, escrow would still have closed on November 1, the date the parties had
21 II initially set for close of escrow. (Samaan Decl., ~ 14). Defendant cancelled escrow on

22 II Octobcr 25, one jid! l-veek before the date for close of escrow. When defendant cancelled,

411 1. I am a licensed real estate agent and the plaintiff in this action entitled

5 II Samaan v. Zemik, Case No. SC 087400. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth

6 II herein, which are kno\vn by me to be true and correct, and if called as a witncss, I could

711 and would competently testify thereto.


8
9 II 2. In March 2004, I became engaged to my husband lae Arre Lloyd and

10 II we began searching for a home to purchase in Beverly Hills in anticipation of our wedding
11 lion September 18, 2004, in Hawaii. At the time lae Arre Lloyd and his three daughters
12 II lived together in Lloyd's two-bedroom apartment on Peck Drive in Beverly Hills but I did
13 II not live with them. Our search for a home was limited and driven by two main factors: (1)
14 [lour budget was approximately $1.7 million, and (2) because our children were enrolled in
15 II high school and middle school in Beverly Hills, our new home had to be located in the
16 II Beverly Hills area so that our children could remain in the same schools. Even within
17 II Beverly Hills, our search was limited to a ten block radius from Lloyd's apartment. There
18 II are three middle schools in Beverly Hills and two of our three daughters were enrolled in
1911 one of them, the EI Rodeo Middle School on Whittier Drive (currently one of our
20 II daughters is still enrolled at EI Rodeo). In order for our daughters to continue to attend EI

21 II Rodeo we have to live in the school's coverage area w'hich includes an approximately ten
22 II block radius around Lloyd's apartment on Peck Drive. Keeping our daughters in the same

23 II school was very important to us. Lloyd's daughters had lived with their mother (Lloyd's
24 II formcr \vi fe) until February 2004. Between 1999 and 2004 Lloyd's daughter had moved

25 II five differcnt times and had changes schools a [cv,: timcs. It was very important to us to

26 II provide them with stability. Eventually, in August 2004, I moved into Lloyd's t\\/O

2711 bedroom apartment hoping that soon our entire family would move to a new house.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
1 II Currently me, Lloyd and our three children all live in the same two-bedroom apartment on

2 II Peck Drive.

3
411 3. In the hot real estate market of2004, we found it ncar to impossible to

5 1/ find a house in Beverly Hills within our budget. Between March and September 2004, we

6 II placed several otTers on various homes, but none were accepted. Eventually, in early
7 II September 2004, approximately two weeks before our wedding date, we found the
8 II property that is the subject the present dispute, located at 320 South Peck Drive, Beverly

9 II Hills, California 90212 (the "Property"), just up the street from our house. I am informed

10 II and believe that the Property was, and is, owned by defendant Joseph Zernik. His agent in

11 II the transaction was Michael Libow of Coldwell Banker.

12

1311 4. On September 4,2006, I presented an offer to Purchase the Property

1411 via facsimile to Libow. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of this

15 II offer. Six days later. on September 10,2004, defendant, through his agent presented me
16 II with a counteroffer. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy of defendant's

17 1/ counter-offer. At the same time, Libow informed me that defendant had received multiple

18 II offers on the Property. The next day, on September 11, 2004, I accepted all of the terms of

19 II defendant's counter-offer with the exception of one item and faxed my second counter

20 [I offer to defendant. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a true and correct copy of my second

21 II counter-offer to defendant.

22

23/1 5. r did not immediately hear back from Libow or defendant. I waited

24 II until September 13, 2004, and not having heard from defendant wrote again to Libow

25 II urging a response to my second counter-offer. Attached hereto as Exhibit 4 is a true and


2611 correct copy of my memo to Libow, dated September 13,2004. Neither Libow nor

27 II defendant immediately responded. Eventually, on September 15, at 11 :34 p.m. r received


28 II defendant's acceptance of my second counter-offer. Attached hereto as Exhibit 5 is a true

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
and COlTCCt copy of the facsimile I received from Libow accepting my second countcr­

2 II offer.

3
411 6. Because Libow faxed his acceptance late in the evening, I did not

5 II aChml1y receive it until the next morning, as I was preparing to leave for my wedding.
6 II That morning, September 16,2004, before leaving for the airport, I faxed Libow an
7 II addendum to the Purchase Agreement changing the acceptance date to September 23.

8 II was concerned, and had previously communicated this concern to Libow, that if we did not

9 II move the acceptance date to September 23, I may not be able to comply with the deadlines

10 II in the Purchase Agreement, including the deadlines to remove contingencies. In my fax to

11 II Libow I expressly told him that if the date was not changed "I will not be able to meet the
12 " terms of the Purchase Agreement." Attached hereto as Exhibit 6 is a true and correct copy

13 II of my facsimile to Libow. I also asked Libow to have the Escrow Instructions, the

14 II executed Purchase Agreement and the Preliminary Title Report (the "Escrow Package") to

15 II my house during my absence so that I could begin working on the transaction immediately

16 II upon my return. While driving to the airport to leave for my wedding, I called Libow at
17 118: 18 a.m. to follow-up on my fax asking for the date of acceptance to be changed to

18 II September 23. Attached hereto as Exhibit 7 is a true and correct copy of my phone records
19 II evidencing some of my telephone calls related to this case, including my telephone call to

20 II Libow on September 16. Libow told me that there was no need to sign the Addendum and

21 II assured me that defendant would give me additional time to meet the deadlines in the

22 II Purchase Agreement if needed. On September 16, upon arriving in Hawaii, I initialed the
23 II second counter-offer and faxed it back to Libow Attached hereto as Exhibit 8 is a true and

2411 correct copy of fax to Libow from Hawaii. According to our agreement the deadline for
25/1 close of escrow was November 1, 2004.

26
2711 7. Lloyd and I returned from Hawaii on September 23. Even though I

28 1/ had asked Libow to deliver the Escrow Package to my house during my absence, he had

not done so. \Vhen we rehimed we had a voicemail from libow informing'­ me that he

2 II needed the deposit check of S15,000 delivered to escrow the next day. The next morning,

3 lion Friday, September 24, I immediately began working on the transaction. I delivered a

4 II check for S15,000 to Michael Libow's assistant for dehvery to escrow as requested by

5 II Libov,:. On the same day I ordered a home inspection and submitted the necessary

6 II financial documents to my loan broker, Victor Parks at Pacific ~ortgage Consultants for

7 II approval. The same day, I contacted the escrow company, which defendant had selected,

8 II Mara Escrow Company ("Mara Escrow") and requested the Escrow Package. Mara

9 II Escrow responded that it could not deliver the Escrow Package because defendant had not

10 II yet provided Mara Escrow with the executed Purchase Agreement.

11
12 8. On October 4, I delivered a cashier's check to the escrow company.

13
14 9. On Tuesday September 29, I learned from my broker Parks that he

15 II still had not received the Escrow Package from defendant or Libow. I contacted Mara

16 II Escrow and pleaded that they send me the Escrow Package. Mara Escrow responded that

17 II they were waiting for some documents from Libow.

18
19 10. Meanwhile, I proceeded on schedule with my obligations under the

20 II parties' agreement and completed my home inspection on Wednesday, September 30.


21 II also completed my appraisal of the Property on Saturday, October 2. The following

22 Monday, October 4, I met Libow at the Property to review the Home Inspection Report

23 and sign the Transfer Disclosure Documents. Later that day, libow faxed me the Buyer's

24 Reports, Disclosure and Buyer's Investigation Contingency Removal. I signed and faxed

25 /I the document back to Libow within minutes of receiving it. Attached hereto as Exhibit 9

26 II is a tme and correct copy of my fax to Libow removing these contingencies.

11. On \Vednesday, October 6, Parks contacted me and told me that he

2 II still had not received the EscrO\v Package from the defendant. At his urging, I called Mara
3 II Escrow and Libow and again asked them to send the Escrow Package. Finally, on
411 Wednesday, October 6, after the close of business, at 5:38 p.m., Mara Escrmv sent to me

5 II and Parks some, but not all, of the necessary documents. Specifically, Mara Escrow
6 II delivered the Escrow Instructions and the Preliminary Title Report but not the fully
7 II executed Purchase Agreement because Mara Escrow sent the document after the close of
8 II business, Parks did not receive the documents until the next day, Thursday, October 7. On
9 II Friday, October 8, I delivered a cashier's check in the amount of $15,000 for the deposit to
10 II Mara Escrow. Attached hereto as Exhibit lOis a true and correct copy of my second
II II deposit check. Monday, October 11 was a holiday.

12
1311 12. On Monday, October 18, Libow faxed me a Notice to Perform and

14 II remove Loan & Appraisal Contingencies. On Wednesday, October 20, I removed the
15 II Loan and Preliminary Title Contingencies. Attached hereto as Exhibit 11 is a true and
16 II correct copy of my fax to Libow removing the Loan and Title Contingencies. I also wrote
17 II a letter to Libow explaining that as the loan's approval was conditioned on the appraisal
18 II review, I could not remove the appraisal contingency. Attached hereto as Exhibit 12 is a
19 II true and correct copy of my letter to Libow. Zemik's failure to provide the fully executed
20 II Purchase Agreement was the only reason I could not remove my appraisal contingency,
21 II because I could not remove that contingency until Countrywide had approved the appraisal
2211 of the Property.
23
24/1 13. On Thursday, October 21, I received a letter from defendant himself

25 II telling me that if I did not remove the Appraisal Contingency he would cancel escrow.

26 II Later that day. Libow wrote to me confirming that defendant had agreed to extend the
27 II deadlines in the parties' agreement and asked for a closing to be extended from ~ovember

28 III to November 12 to enable defendant to find an apartment. Attached hereto as Exhibit 13

is a tnte and conTet copy of Libow's email. The next day, I informed Libow that an

211 extension of closing \vould be acceptable to me. Exhibit 7.

411 14. On Monday, October 25, I learned from Parks that the lender had

5 II approved the loan and the appraisal. Upon learning of this fact, I immediately called

6 II Libmv at 3:02 p.m. and told him that I was removing the Appraisal Contingency. Exhibit
7 117. At 5:22 p.m. on the same day, I faxed the final contingency removal to Mara Escrow,

8 II removing the appraisal contingency. Attached hereto as Exhibit 14 is a true and correct

9 II copy of my facsimile to Mara Escrow removing all contingencies. At 5:24 p.m., Mara

10 II Escrow faxed me the Seller's Cancellation of Escrow. When defendant attempted to


11 II cancel, Parks had already ordered loan documents and we would have received them in
12 II time to close on November 1, the scheduled date for closing. If defendant had not reneged,
13 II we could and would have closed on November 1. Attached hereto as Exhibit 15, is
1411 Zemik's Notice of Cancellation wherein he attempted to cancel escrow.
15
1611 15. Since making the initial offer to purchase the Property, I have been

17 II ready, willing and able to perform. I have had and continue to have the financial ability to
18 II procure a loan and close escrow. Attached hereto as Exhibit 19 is a true and correct copy

19 II of my bank records showing that I have more that necessary to pay my down-payment for

20 II the purchase of the Property. I have also been pre-approved for purchase money loan by
21 II Metrocities Mortgage for the purchase of the Property.
22
23/1 16. After defendant attempted to cancel escrow we continued looking for

24 II homes but could not find any within our price range in Beverly Hills. Our budget is still
25 II around ~ 1.7 million. Property values have substantialIy increased since 2004, to the point
26 that we are currently priced out of the market in Beverly Hills. Attached hereto as Exhibit

27 16 are true and correct copies of real estate records indicating the homes in our

28 II neighborhood now sell at the 52.2 to 52.5 million range. {fthe Court, grants my Motion

From: Nivle Samaan
CC:
Date: 9/1312004
Re: 320 S. Peck Dr. Counter Offer #2 Dated september 11, 2004

Please be advised regarding the above mentioned coonter-offer negotiation, I will be formally
withdrawlng my offer as of 12:00pm september 14,2004. I am leaving the country for the next week
and will find it Impractical to continue negotiations andJor meet the terms set-forth in the CAR.
Purchase Agreement dated september 4,2004, beyond this date

That being said, I truly do want the house and would love to make it a home for my family and me. But
should we come to an unsuccessful negotiation, I would like to thank you and your seller In advance to.
your time and efforts in trying to facilitate this purchase. I WISh you the best In your endeavors

WITHOUT THE REMOVAL OF ALL CONTINGENCIES AND THE UNCERTAINTY OF YOUR


LOAN APPRO VAL BASED UPON WHAT USED TO BE A CURSORY "REVIEW APPRAIS ..
S R OF PECK HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SECURE ALTERNATIVE HOU ...AS
HE HAD RELUCTANTL Y AGREED ND YOUR INITIAL C ENCY PERIOD OF
INSPECTIONS, HE WILL NOW REQUEST ADDITIONAL TIME fN THE PROPERTY OR A
DELAYED CLOSE OF ESCROW)sHOULD HE DECIDE TO WITHDRAW HIS REOUEST E
CT EVIDENCED BY TAE LETTER THAT I FORWARDED TO
YOU TODA Y SPECIFYING HIS DESIRE TO CANCEL. ..HE IS AWARE THAT YOU HA VE
AL WA YS HAD ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY FOR INSPECTIONS/APPRAISALS, ETC AND
THAT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING WlTHHELD THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED YOUR
LOAN AGENT FROM SUBMITTING YOUR LOAN PACKAGE SOONER TIlAT LATER...MY
SELLER ASSUMES THAT YOU WERE WAITING FOR A BETTER RATE...AGAIN...THESE
ARE ONLY ASSUMPTIONS BASED UPON A LACK OF ALL FACTS...MY MANAGER, BETH
STYNE, HAD QUESTIONED WHY THE LOAN BROKER WOULD HAVE HELD BACK
SUBMITTING YOUR LOAN WHEN HE HAD THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND JOINT
ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS IN HIS HANDS...AS YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE. OUR
NEW PURCHASE AGREEMENT AS OF SEVERAL YEARS AGO ACTS AS THE ESCROW
INSTRUCTIONS THESE ARE THE TYPES OF QUESTIONS THAT HA VE GONE
UNANSWERED .

I WILL MAKE EVERY AITEMPT TO CALM MR. ZERNIK AND HOPEFULL Y WILL BE ABLE
TO TELL HIM TOMORROW THAT YOU ARE READY TO RELEASE ALL CONTINGENCIES.. .I
DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WILL BE EFFECTIVE...BUT ITS THE BEST THAT I CAN DO..
.SHOULD HE ELECT NOT TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT. I BELIEVE THAT HE WlLL NEED
ADDITIONAL TIME IN THE PROPERTY.. .INCLUSIVE OF THE NEED FOR FUMIGATION...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING..

DECLARA TIO~ OF VICTOR PARKS

211 l, Victor Parks, state and declare as follows:

3
411 1. I am a Senior Loan Consultant \vith Pacific Mortgage Loan

5 II Consultants. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein, v;hich are known by
6 II me to be true and correct, and if called as a witness, I could and \vould competently testify

7 II thereto.

8
911 2. I have over 30 years of experience in real estate lending and sales. I

tOil have been a Senior Loan Consultant with Pacific Mortgage for approximately 4 years. As
11 II a Senior Loan Consultant I act as a broker between lenders and borrowers. My duties

t 2 II include gathering information needed by lenders from borrowers and facilitating the
13 II procurement of loans. I have been a loan broker since 1986. Prior to that from 1982 to

14111986 1 was a Vice President and Corporate Loan Officer for Bank of California (now

15 II Union Bank). Before that from 1971 to 1982 I was Assistant Vice President/Corporate
16 Loan Officer at Bank of Southern California. As a loan officer at both Bank of California
17 and Bank of Southern California I was responsible, among other things, for reviewing loan
18 II applications, packaging loans and determining whether borrowers applying for loans met

19 II the bank's criterion. In addition to the above, since 1999 I have been a licensed real estate

20 II broker. Attached hereto as Exhibit 20 is a true and correct copy of my most recent resume
21 II outlining my experience and qualifications.
22
2311 3. When deciding whether to lend money to a buyer of residential real

24 II estate, like ~1s. Samaan, a lender examines three factors: (1) the borrower's ability to

25 II repay the loan, (2) the borrower's willingness to repay the loan and (3) the lender's ability

2611 to recover the loan should the borrower fail to repay. With respect to the first category, the

27 II lender will look to the borrower's income and debt structure. The second category is
28 II analyzed based on the borrower's credit history and score. For the first two categories the

\\'02-\\LST 1\l\lK I -1i)0322S07 1
Court File: "Volume IV Continued" DECLARATIO:"J OF VICTOR PARKS
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
Ii

borrower is the pal1y \vho provides the lender \vith the requisite infonnation, such as a

2 II credit rep0l1, bank account statcments, etc. The third category - \vhat happens if the

3 II borrower defaults - is based on the value of the propeliy. The information needed for the
4 II lender's analysis of this category comes mostly from the seller. When a borrower has thc

5 II propcl1y appraised, hc/she will submit that appraisal to the lender. The lcnder will then

611 review the appraisal, to determine whether the value is justified. The lender will not
7 II approve the loan until it has reviewed and approved the appraisal. In revicwing the

8 II appraisal the lender needs several key documents, two of which are the prcliminary title

9 II report and the fully executed purchase agreement. A purchase agreement consists of a

10 II Residential Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instmctions. The preliminary title
11 II report must be provided by the seller and the purchase agreement must be executed by
12 II both parties. The preliminary title report may contain a host of items that effect the value
13 II of the property. These items include encumbrances, easements, encroachments, mineral
14 II rights, conditions, covenants and restrictions or Home Owners Association restrictions.
15 II The lender also needs the fully executed purchase agreement before it can review and
16 II approve the appraisal of a property, because the terms of the purchase agreement may
17 II effect value. For example, if a seller has agreed to return $100,000 of the portion price
18 II back to the buyer, then the value of the property should be reduced by 5100,000. A lender
19 II cannot approve the appraisal and loan for a property without first reviewing the
20 II preliminary title report and the executed purchase agreement. Borrowers typically will not

21 II remove their appraisal contingency until the lender has approved the appraisal of the
22 II property. In a residential purchase transactions, such as the one involved here,

23 II contingencies are in place to protect the purchaser. For example, an appraisal contingency
24 II means that the buyer's purchase of the property is contingent on the property appraising at

25 II the purchase price the parties have agreed upon. An appraisal has two components. The

26 first is an appraisal done by an independent appraisal agency, here Property Sciences

27 Group, Inc. Once the independent agency appraises the property and prepares a report, as

28 Property Sciences Group, Inc. did here, that report is sent to the lender. The second

Court File: "Volume IV Continued" DECLARA. TlO0i OF VICTOR PARKS
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
II

component of an appraisal is the lender's approval of the appraisal done by the independent

2 II agency. Since the lender is lending money secured by real estate, the lender wants to

3 II ensure that in case of default, the security will sell for an amount that will cover the

4 II obligation under the loan. This is the point where the lender needs the fully executed

511 purchase agreement and preliminary title report to conduct its revie\v.
6
711 4. In or around September 2004, I was retained by Nivie Samaan to

8 II procure a loan for her to purchase the property located at 320 South Peck Drive, Beverly

911 Hills, California 90212 (the "Property").


10
11 II 5. On or about September 15, I learned from Samaan that Zernik had

12 II accepted her counter-offer (second counter-offer total) and she instmcted me to begin the

13 II process of procuring a loan for her purchase of the Property. She informed me that escrow

1411 was to close on November 1,2004. Samaan also told me that since she was going to be in

15 II Hawaii for one week for her wedding, Zernik had agreed to move the acceptance date to
16 II September 23, to allow Samaan enough time to meet her obligations under the parties'

17 II purchase agreement. On or about September 24, Samaan submitted the necessary financial

18 II documents to me to begin processing her loan. I asked Samaan for the fully executed

19 1/ Purchase Agreement (consisting of 1) Residential Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow

20 II Instmctions, Buyer's Inspection Advisory and Wood Destroying Pest Inspection and

21 II Allocation Cost Addendum, 2) Defendant's counter-offer, and 3) and Samaan's counter­


22 II offer to defendant's counter-offer) (collectively the "Purchase Agreement") and the
23 II Preliminary Title Report (the "Escrow Package"). For a document to be fully executed,

24 1/ both parties must sign every page where applicable and also initial the bottom right comer

25 1/ of the Residential Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions. Samaan told me

26 1/ that she \vould contact the escrow company selected by Zernik Mara Escrow' Company

27 ("Mara EscrO\v"), and request the Escrow Package. The escrow agent at Mara Escrow

28 working on this transaction was Gail Hershowitz.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
6. On Monday September 27, I began processing Samaan's loan and

211 ordered an appraisal of the Propcr1y. The next day, on Tuesday September 28, I emailed
3 II Zemik's agent Michael Libow and informed him that I had begun processing Samaan's
4 II loan. However, I could not submit the loan to the lender, Country\'.:ide, until I had the

5 /I Preliminary Title Report and the fully executed Purchase Agreement. I told Libow that we

6 /I expected final loan approval in 10 days. Libow \vrote back telling me 10 days is a lengthy

711 period "given the buyer's loan contingency". I responded that we had been informed that
8 II al1 deadlines would start from September 23. Libow never told me or to my knowledge,

9 II anyone else, that he disagreed with this understanding. Attached hereto as Exhibit 21 are

10 II true and correct copies of my email communication with Libow.


11
1211 7. On Wednesday, September 29, I called Mara Escrow and asked them

13 II to send me the Escrow Package. I told Mara Escrow that any delay by the seller in

14 II delivering the Escrow Package would delay the approval of the loan. The lender could not
15 II and would not approve the loan without the Preliminary Title Report and the fully

16 II executed Purchase Agreement. Mara Escrow responded that they were waiting for Libow

1711 to send them the fully executed Purchase Agreement.


18
1911 8. The next day, I again contacted Mara Escrow and asked that they rush

20 II the Escrow Package to me. I did not receive a response to from Mara Escrow and notified
21 II Samaan that I still had not received the Escrow Package.
22

23/1 9. On Tuesday, October 5, I again contacted Ytara Escrow and asked for
24 II the Escrow Package. I told Mara Escrow that I was ready to submit the loan for approval

25 /I but needed the Escrow Package before I could do so. Later that day ~fara Escrow left a

26 voicemail for me informing me that they needed more time to send the Escrow Package to

27 me because Zemik had not yet delivered the Purchase Agreement to Mara Escrow. ~1ara

28 Escrow told me "you're a little premature ... could you call us back in a few days ... and

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
then we can send you what you need." Attached hereto as Exhibit 22 is a tme and correct

')11 copy of transcript of)';1ara Escrow's voicemail for me. After receiving this voicemail, I

3 II sent an email to Libow telling him "we'll be ready to submit for loan approval tomorrow
4 II when the appraisal is in. Unfortunately, we called escrow to follow-up on our request for

5 II [escrow] instructions and prelim[inary Title Report] made on 9/27 and they're saying we

6 II may not get everything until next week ... As you're aware, we need these items to submit
7 II for final loan approval." Attached hereto as Exhibit 23 is a true and correct copy of my

811 email to Libow dated October 5, 2004. Libow did not respond to my email.
9
loll 10. Still not having received the Escrow Package, on Wednesday, October

11 116, I urged Samaan to contact Mara Escrow. Finally, on Wednesday, October 6, after the

12 II close of business, at 5: 38 p.m., Mara Escrow sent some, but not all, of the necessary

13 II documents to me. Specifically, Mara Escrow delivered the Purchase Agreement (still not
14 II initialed one every page by defendant) and the Preliminary Title Report to Samaan and me.
15 II Mara Escrow did not, however, deliver the fully executed Purchase Agreement. Because

16 II Mara Escrow sent the document after the close of business, I did not receive the documents

17 II until the next day, Thursday, October 7. One day later, I notified Libow that I was

18 II submitting the loan to the lender, Countrywide for approval but that the lender would not
19/1 receive it until October 12, because Monday October 11 was a holiday.

20
21 II 11. The following week, on Friday, October 15, I learned that the lender,

22 II Countrywide, was suspending a decision on the loan because Zernik had not yet sent me

23 II the fully executed Purchase Agreement. I immediately contacted Mara Escrow and urged
24 II them to send me the fully executed Purchase Agreement. Mara Escrow told me that they

25 II had not yet received the fully executed Purchase Agreement from Zernik. The following

26 II Monday, October 18, ;Vlara Escrow sent me some additional documents, but still not the

27 fully executed Purchase Agreement. Not having received the fully executed Purchase

28 Agreement, I pleaded with Countrywide to conditionally approve the loan.

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
12. On ~londay October 18, at my urging, Countrywide conditionally

2 II approved the loan. I informed Libow of this fact and told him that the loan is conditioned
3 lion the appraisal revie\v due by the end of the week, October 22, and the lender receiving

4 II the executed Purchase Agreement.

5
611 13. On Thursday, October 21, I contacted Mara Escrow and infonned

7 II them that I was ready to order all the loan documents, but could not do so until I received

8 II the fully executed Purchase Agreement. I also told Mara that the lender would not approve
9 II the appraisal review until had a fully executed Purchase Agreement, initialed on every

10 II page by Zemik.
11
1211 14. On Friday, October 22, r called Mara Escrow and pleaded for a fully

13 II executed Purchase Agreement so I could forward it to Countrywide so they could approve

14/1 the appraisal review of the Property. At this point, the only thing preventing the
15 II Countrywide from completing its review of the appraisal of the Property was the fact that
16 II it had not received a fully executed Purchase Agreement initialed on every page by Zemik.
17 II At approximately 3:42 p.m. Mara Escrow sent me a copy of the Purchase Agreement.
18 II Attached hereto as Exhibit 24 is a true and correct copy of the facsimile cover sheet and

19 1/ Purchase Agreement Mara Escrow sent me on October 22, 2004. This document is not

20 II initialed on every page by Zemik showing that as of 3:42 p.m. on October 22, Zemik had
21 II yet delivered to Mara Escrow a fully executed Purchase Agreement. Subsequently, later

22 /1 that day, Mara Escrow sent me a fully executed copy of the Purchase Agreement.

23 II Apparently, at some point after 3:42 p.m. on Friday, October 22, Zemik went to Mara

24 II Escrow and initialed every page of the Purchase Agreement. I immediately fOf\varded the

25 II fully executed Purchase Agreement to Countrywide. I then emailed Libow to provide him

261/ \vith an update. Later that day, Libow wrote back in an email to me and copied to Samaan,
27 II thanking me for my update and raising the possibility of a two vleek extension of close of
28 II escrow to enable Zemik to find another place.

','

15. The following Monday, October 25, [ received the lender appraisal

2 II approval and immediately informed Libovv of the same. Attached hereto as Exhibit 25 is a

311 true and correct copy of my email to Libow dated October 25, 2004.
4
511 16. The only reason Countrywide did not approve the appraisal of the

6 II Property was that we did not timely receive the Preliminary Title Report and the executed

7 II Purchase Agreement. Here, Zernik and Libow did not deliver the Preliminary Title Report

8 II to me until Thursday, October 8, 2004, one day before a three day weekend. Therefore,

9 II Countrywide did not have the Preliminary Title Report until Tuesday October 12. But

10 II even with the preliminary title report Countrywide could not approve the appraisal until it

11 II had the Purchase Agreement, which Zernik did not provide to us until Friday, October 22,

12 II one day before he attempted to cancel escrow. Even with all of Zerniks' delays, the loan

13 II was approved on October 22. We had one full week before the deadline for close of

14 II escrow. It would have only taken a few days for the loan documents to be prepared.

15 II Based on my experience I believe that the parties could have closed escrow by November

16 111,2004. If Zemik had complied with his obligation to provide Samaan with a fully

17 II executed Purchase Agreement by September 27,2004, Samaan would have been able to

1811 remove the Appraisal Contingency by October 11, 2004.

Subject: Re: Samaan Appraisal Review Status

Hello Michael. I've given Beth status about an hour ago. Per my Rep at Countrywide the appraisal has not been
reviewed yet, so there's no verbal to give today. He assures me that we'll have the review by Monday.

In my conversation with Beth, she suggested extending escrow a week or so to allow your seller to secure a
residence. That might be the answer to this problem. Even with the appraIsal review done on Monday, it will be
very difficult (not Impossible) to fund this loan FridC!y, October 29th to be able to record and close on Monday
morning, November 1st per the escrow instructions.

As you know we did not receive escrow and title until Friday, October 8th, so Countrywide didn't recieve the loan
package until Tuesday, October 12th due to the weekend and holiday. Four days for loan approval and four to
five days for appraisal review is unreasonable in this market. This is a very clean loan approval and we don't
anticipate any delays in closing.

I'll contact you on Monday with status on the appraisal review sign-off and when we can expect loan documents.

Regards,

Victor Parks

The subject currently in escrow in the amount ofS 1.718.000. Its prelIminary report was reviewed and was
determined that the subject has not been sold within the last 36 months. The subject and the comparables have
no other transfer or lIsting within the last 36 months other than those listed on the grid.

Appraisal Parameters and Jfethods:


A SIX month market search was conducted within the subject's neighborhood and similar compeung
nelghborhood(s) for comparable sales. pendmg sales and properties currently listed for sale. \lany properlJes
were reviewed. To the best of the appraiser's knowledge, the comparables presented and utilized in thiS report
represent the most relevant data appropnate for the analysis and valuation of the subject property. The
comparable sectIOn and valuation analysis is governed by the pnnciple of substitution: a buyer will not pay more
for one property than for another that is equally desirable. When deternunable, adjustments for significant
differences m Improvements were derived by matched paired analySIS or abstraction. \!,Then matched pair
analySIS or abstraction were not possible or practical, bracketing and/or the appraiser's knowledge and
experience in the market area are utilized in determining the appropnate adjustment for differences Comparable
sales were confirmed closed per the mformatIon data sources cited m the "Scope of the AppraIsal." In the case of

and FARES or Public Record for recordmg data. The comments below are explanations regarding the analySIS

and adjustments in the market gnd of the URAR fonn.

Ad;ustment Factors
SALES A~D FDiAl\CI:'iG: ~o financing adjustments were required as all sales were wIth conventional
financIng, or the equIvalent. wlth rates and terms typical of the prevailmg market. There were no reported
buydowns or other financIng concessions that would have had an impact on market value.

DATE OF SALE Comparables 1, 2. and 3 were recent sales, having closed within the last two months.
Comparable 4, however, closed m 'vlarch 29. 2004. Since the closing date of comparable 4. the market in the
subject's neighborhood has increased. Therefore, a I% adjustment was made for each month since the clOSIng
date of comparbable 4. All date of sales are close of escrow dates, unless otherwise noted

LOCATION: All the comparables were located within the subject's neighborhood or in nearby, similar. and
competIng neighborhoods.

charactenstics: no adjustment was indicated.

QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION: All of the comparables were average quality wood-frame dwellings similar
to the subject.

AGE: All comparables had smular effective ages to the subject.

BASEMENT A~ FINISHED ROOMS: Neither the subject nor the comparables had a subterranean basement
or fimshed rooms below grade; no adjustment was indicated.

FUNCTIONAL UTILITY: No adjustment was indicated as the subject and the comparables were considered to
have comparable functional utility.

HEATING/COOLING: No adjustment was indicated for heating systems as the subject and the comparables
were considered to have comparable heatmg systems. The subject has a wall air conditIOning unll. However,
comparables 2.3 and 4 had central air conditioning units which were given a $ J 0,000 downward adjustment.

E~TRGY EFFICIENT ITE\1S: The subject had SImilar heating system as the comparables. The subject has
window aIr condltlOnIng units in the bedrooms. Comparables with central air systems were gIVen $10.000
downward adjustment for they supenor appeal and desirability.

PREDOMINA~ VALLT The subject's value is conSIStent with the predominant values m the neighborhood.

MAL YSIS OF CLTRRE~'T AGREEMENT: The subject was listed on August 8, 2004 m the amount of
$1,695,000. The subject was on the market for 52 days and is currently m escrow for $1,718,000. ~o personal
property 1S included in the transactIOn. The purchase agreement was reVlewed and there were no concessIOns for
non-recurring closmg costs or personal property noted.

Final Reconciliation
The Sales Comparison Approach was given the most weight in determining the final value estimate. as it best
represents the actIOns of typIcal buyers and sellers m the market. The Cost Approach IS gwen less emphasis due
to the subject's age and location in a fully developed locale. The Income Approach was considered, but is not
conSIdered appltcable because smgle family reSIdences within the subject's market area are typIcally purchased
by Ov.l1er. users and not for mcome generation.

Additional Information

and equipment. :--10 personal property was mcluded in the valuation of the subject property.

I

This credit approval is based upon an initial review and verification of information you
provided on income, debts and credit. This opinion is non-transferable and non­
negotiable and is subject to the pricing and other terms and conditions applicable to the
loan type and amount approved.

The signing of the application form or any related documents in connection with the
application for a loan does not constitute a commitment to grant a loan. Further, the
granting of a loan based upon your application is based on factors other than just the
application, including employment status, employment history, credit status, credit
history, information contained in the documents provided to the financial institutions,
and others matters relating to the condition and valuation of the subject property.
Further, the granting of a loan may be provided provisionally with conditions concerning
payoff of certain other credit obligations.

Each loan application is reviewed on its own merits on a case-by-case basis. This credit
approval is valid for 60 days from the date indicated above. If interest rates increase,
thereby increasing the monthly payment amounts, it is possible you may not qualify for
the maximum purchase price and loan amount indicated above. This credit approval is
not a guarantee of points, fees, or interest rate. Any adverse material changes to the
information you provided may affect final loan approval, causing us to change or void
this opinion without further notice.

8 time?

9 A I don't recall.

11:55AM 10 Q Why -­ do you know why you would send him a

11 reference to Dina's Moving? Do you know who Joe at

12 Dino's Moving is?

13 A He's somebody I've referred to many people over

14 the years, and I've used him myself.

11:55AM15 Q And he is a moving company guy?

16 A He is like the manager at Dina's, I think.

14 September 29. I'm sorry. September 16. You know she's

11:56AM1S going to be there for a week, which would take us to

1:55PM 1 A ~es. On October 4.

2 Q And do you recall when it was that you -- well,

3 strike that.

4 And this was the same day as the meeting at the

1:55PM 5 property?

6 A That's what you're telling me. And that's why

7 I questioned you earlier as to when the inspection was.

8 And I really -- without documentation, I don't know.

9 Q So if it was that Saturday

1:5 6PM I0 A I can't imagine a buyer -- I mean, I can't

11 imagine a buyer -- a buyer inspecting a property on the

12 same day that they release contingency on inspections.

13 How would they have the reports back to review?

14 Q Okay. So if - -

1:56PM15 A I'm just speaking. I can't imagine.

16 Q So if the inspection was on Saturday

17 A The 1st.

18 Q The 1st, then - -

19 A Or wait. Would that be the 2nd?

1:56PM 20 The 2nd. If the inspection was on the 2nd, the

21 Saturday, then she removed it the first business day

22 after the inspection, that Monday. Right?

3 THE WITNESS: Okay.

4 BY MR. KESHAVARZI: It's an e-mail from Victor

1:57PM 5 to you dated October 5, 2004. It says:

6 "Hello, Michael. will be ready to submit

7 for loan approval tomorrow when the appraisal

8 is in. Unfortunately we called escrow to

9 follow up on our request for instructions and

1:57PM 10 prelim made on 9/27 and they're saying we may

11 not get everything until next week. If

12 there's anything you can do to expedite this."

13 Did you do anything to expedite this as

14 Mr. Parks's request said?

1:58PM 15 A Not that I remember.

16 Q So you don't remember doing anything?

17 A Based upon this, no.

18 Q Is there a reason why you didn't do anything

19 even though Mr. Parks requested that you do something to

1:58PM20 expedite it?

21 I can't speculate on that. I asked him many

22 things as well that he never responded to.

23 Q Did you tell Mr. Zernik that Mr. Parks had told

24 you that the loan was going to be ready to be submitted

2 I page, from you to Gail Hershowitz, the escrow agent.

3 You've ccld Ms. 8amaan. The fax date is October 15,

4 2004. You can see on the top you sent it at 5:26 P.M.

2:10PM 5 If you go to the second page, underneath your

6 fax line there is a fax to you from Bon Pest Control on

7 October 7.

8 A October

9 Q I see 7.

2:11PM 10 A The date of the report was the 6th. They sent

11 it on the 7th.

12 Q 80 the report was prepared on the 6th and sent

13 to you on the 7th. You forwarded it eight days later.

14 Is there a reason why you held on to it for eight days

2:11PM15 before forwarding it to Ms. Hershowitz?

16 A I'm not certain if the pest control company

17 wouldn't have forwarded it to her directly, and that's

18 what I can't answer, because we always tell them the

19 escrow company name and information. They usually send

2:11PM 20 ~directlY to them.

21 Q But if they had sent it directly to her, there

22 would be no need for you to send it to her, is there?

2 wasn't prepared until October 6. Right?

3 A Yes.

4 Q And it was the seller's obligation to have it

2:11P'JI 5 prepared by September 22?

6 A Dh-huh.

7 Q So the seller, Mr. Zernik, missed this by --

8 help me with the math here. 14 days. Right?

9 A Dh-huh.

2:12PM 10 Q And if this was the first time Ms. Hershowitz

11 had received it, on the 15th, from you, then it would

12 have been late by 22 days.

13 MR. SHULKIIN: Objection as to your characterization

14 of late.

2:12PM15 Q BY MR. KESHAVARZI: It would have been 22 days

16 past the date you testified earlier was the deadline for

17 the delivery of the report.

18 MR. SHULKIIN: I would just point out that the buyer

19 had already removed her inspection contingency by that

2:12PM 20 time, so it really didn't matter.

2 MR. SHULKIIN: Objection. The question is vague to

3 the extent that there is an October 8, 2004 reference ~n

4 Exhibit 129. Are you asking this witness if as of

2:25PM 5 October 8 this witness was demanding on behalf of

6 Dr. Zernik that the escrow close on time?

7 MR. KESHAVARZI: Yes.

8 THE WITNESS: The question is set forch that we're

9 asking here if it should be extended beyond November 1.

2;25PM10 Q BY MR. KESHAVARZI: That's not the question.

11 The question is
r

12 A I see no demand from Mr. Zernik to say that it

13 has to close on November 1.

14 Q And you made no such demand, to your

2;25PM 15 recollection, on his behalf. Correct?

16 A No. Why would I? No.

17 Q Just so the record is clear, did you make any

18 demand on his behalf that escrow close on November I? I

19 asked it in a negative and I'm trying to clarify the

2:26PM20 record.

21 A According to what I see, no. No, according to

22 what I see.

23 - Q During the time you were in escrow did you ever

24 sense that Mr. Zernik had a change of heart? Or another

2 Q Can you check that? Maybe we can work together

3 to find out when it was.

4 A Okay.

2:40PM 5 Q I think Exhibit 110 is probably the ...

6 A Let's see. On the first page it would have it.

7 It was a 17-day loan and appraisal contingency.

8 Unless it was countered out to a shorter time, it would

9 prevail. So I'm sure you've been through that

2:40PM10 documentation often enough to know whether it was

11 countered or not. There was a counter to the inspection

12 investigation contingency but not to loan contingency.

13 So it would have been effectively 17 days from the 15th.

14 Q Which would have been October 2?

2:40PM15 A In my mind --

16 Q I'll represent to you that 15 days -- 17 days

17 after September 15, on October 2.

18 A Okay.

19 October 2 came and went and Mr. Zernik did not

2:40PM20 cancel escrow. Right?

21 A Yes.

22 Q And he didn't cancel escrow on the 3rd, 4th,

23 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th. And on the 11th he

24 writes an e-mail saying if it's removed this Friday, the

2:41PM 1 deadline, which was October 2. Correct?

2 A Right. He allowed it be extended. But not

3 ever in writing. Remember, it's active removal of

4 contingency.

2 :4lPM 5 Q Right.

6 A So contingency, by the nature of being active

14 A Oh, you don't think it meant moving before

2:42PM 15 close of escrow?

16 Oh, actually moving close of escrow. So the

17 original date was set for what?

18 from you before she could prepare it. Due to

19 the nonperformance of you and your escrow

2 :48PM 5

9 Ms. Samaan is saying here?

2:4BPMI0 A I don't remember calling her at the time.

11 Q Is it typical for the escrow agent to be

12 wanting to talk to you before she sends out a document

13 to the buyer?

14 A She talks to both parties, both the buyer's

2 : 48 PM 15 agent and the seller's agent usually, and asks if the

16 dates are correct, is there any problem with the dates.

17 That's typical.

18 Q So it's typical for her not to send out the

19 escrow instruction until -- or the preliminary title

2:49PM20 report until she's had an opportunity to talk with you

21 and confirm things?

22 A That's typical. And then they send out a draft

23 and we review the draft. The buyer's agent and seller's

24 agent both do.

4 Q BY MR. KESHAVARZI: 00 you recall sending this

2 :5:2PM 5 e-mail?

6 A I don't recall sending it, but it seems to be

7 my response to the letter of October 20, as best I can

8 tell.

9 I call your attention to the third line,

2:52PM 10 please. It says:

11 "As he had reluctantly agreed to extend

12 your initial contingency period of

13 inspections, he will now request additional

14 time in the property or a delayed close of

2:52PM 15 escrow should he decide to withdraw his

16 request."

17 We'll stop right there. Does this refresh your

18 recollection as to whether Mr. Zernik had in fact agreed

19 to extend the contingency period of inspections?

2:52PM 20 A Well, whether he agreed or not, by not

21 submitting -- I hate to explain it by this, but by not

22 submitting a notice to perform at the time and have her

23 perform on the contingency, in essence it could be

24 construed as allowing the contingency to be extended.

2 already in the contract. If a deadline passes and he

3 doesn't give a notice to perform, then he's waiving that

4 deadline?

2 : 53 PM 5 MR. SHULKIIN: Well, objection to the extent it

6 calls for a legal conclusion. I wouldn't agree with

7 that but --

8 THE WITNESS: I don't know how to answer that.

9 Q BY MR. KESHAVARZI: But by not sending a notice

2:53PM 10 to perform and letting the deadline pass, it's in

14 A It's basically the contingency is extended.

2 : 53 PM 15 Q Had you talked with Mr. Zernik about extending

16 the escrow? Is that what that e-mail is referencing?

17 Was there a discussion?

18 A Again that's speculative. It appears like this

19 from the e-mail.

2:54PM 20 Q It appears that

21 A It appears that I must have talked to him.

24 Q BY MR. KESHAVARZI: I assume you forwarded an

3:02PM 25 e-mail to Mr. Zernik. It looks like it because it says

2 "She really does seem to be making an

3 effort. November 12 is on a Friday."

4 Is that a reference to moving the escrow to

3:02PM 5 November 12 possibly?

6 A Possibly. From this single line I can't tell

7 you. And again, here I am in her corner supporting her.

8 Q After you sent the purchase agreement, you

9 faxed it over to Mara on September 22 -- I'm going back

3:02PM 10 a little bit now, by about a month.

11 A Okay.

12 Q Remember we were talking earlier this morning

13 about you faxing over the purchase agreement to Mara

14 Escrow?

3:02PM1S A Yes. Which might have come from the fact that

16 she didn't receive it from the buyer's agent. And

17 again, I'm sorry to say buyer's agent. But typically,

18 traditionally, the buyer's agent takes the accepted

19 document and gives to escrow. She might have called me

3:02PM 20 and said "Michael, I don't have it. Would you fax it."

21 That could have happened.

22 So September 22 is when you faxed -- sent a

23 fax?

24 A Yes.

7 A No. 110 doesn't have a fax cover sheet.

8 It doesn't have a fax cover sheet. We

9 determined that it was sent by you because at the top it

3:04PM 20 A So how do we know this was sent to Gail on the

I

18 Do you ever recall asking Mr. Zernik to go to

19 to sign a document?

3:05PM 20 No, no, no. If it were to initial the original

21 RPA, which is strictly -- how can you explain it? You

22 know, the contract is what it lS. It's been countered,

23 accepted. Each counter accepts the previous counter or

24 RPA. So to have a seller initia: every page typically

3::5PM25 is done for the benefit of a lender who wants to see it.

6 counteroffer to whatever. "The terms and conditions of

7 the above in the referenced document are accepted

8 subject to the following."

9 So I always said why do we need to initial

3:05PM 10 everything. But some lenders want to see that. So I

11 would normally take it to the seller and have them

12 initial.

13 Q Some lenders would require to see every

14 page initialed by both buyer and seller as a condition

3:06PM 15 of approving the loan. Right?

16 A Could be a prefunding condition. Could be

17 anything. To get a loan approval and submit a loan

18 package you don't need that.

19 Q But some lenders require

3:06PM 20 A Prior to funding it may be a condition.

21 Absolutely. We've had that come up, that the escrow

22 officer will say "Michael, it's about to fund. Do you

17 removing all contingencies. Right?

18 A Yes.

3 : 23 PM 20 A Yes. And there is a log attached to it.

21 Q Right. Which I think is proof that the fax

22 went through.

23 A Well, actually it's quite contradictory in that

24 October 25 at 5:24 P.M. to my general fax line is quite

3:23PM25 a bit different than 5:15 A.M. on the fax cover sheet.

3:23PM 1 Q Well, it says -- I think the A.M. is a mistake.

2 But I think when you send a fax, the confirmation comes

3 through once it's gone through. You know, you put a

4 date on there.

3:24PM 5 A I didn't mean to be speculative. I'm sorry.

6 Q That's all right. But now that you mention it,

7 5:24 P.M. there is a fax to your office, and it was two

8 pages that went through. Took a minute and five

9 seconds.

3:24PM10 A We don't know if it's this fax.

11 Q But the documents attached are two pages.

12 Right?

13 A Yes. But still, not a confirmation.

14 Q Well, let's see if we can help you remember

3:24PM 15 receiving this document. This is a document we earlier

21 Was Mr. Zernik, to your recollection or to your

7 to Mara on September 22, 2004 that was not initialed by

19 let's say Mara did not have in its file a purchase

3:33PM 20 agreement that was not initialed on every page by

21 Mr. Zernik. It would either be because Mr. Zernik had

22 not signed it as of that date or had signed it but had

4 MR. SHULKIN: I'm sorry. I'm not going to let him

3 • -, 4 PM S answer that question. Calls for a legal conclusion.

6 It's too general. Question is too general.

7 BY MR. KESHAVARZI: All right. Let's look at

8 SA, which is -- that's a

9 A Statutory disclosures.

3:35PM10 Q Including the lead-based paint hazard

11 disclosures. Correct?

12 A Uh-huh.

13 Q And it says "The seller shall within the time

14 specified in 14A to buyer if required by law." And what

3:35PM15 is the time in 14A?

16 A Seven days from acceptance.

17 Right. And seven days from acceptance would

18 have been September 22?

19 A Yes. And the buyer was still out of town.

3:35PM20 Q And the buyer returned on September 23?

21 A Well, it's uncertain because we have a

22 statement from her that says September 24.

23 Q Let's assume she returned September 23 or 24th.

24 Let's say 24th.

3: 35PM 1 the 23rQ, but here it says 24th.

2 Q So is it your position that the seller's

3 obligation under this was extended because the buyer was

4 out of town?

3 :36PM 5 A No. I'm just making a note that the buyer was

6 out of town.

7 Q So the fact that -- now you're certain the

8 buyer was out of town. Before you were told that she

9 was out of town.

3 : 36 PM 10 A I was told she was out of town.

11 Q Now you're sure she was out of town or you're

12 still thinking

13 A I was told she was out of town.

14 Q Can you look at Exhibit 120, please.

3:36PM15 A Sure.

16
-.
Q Do you know when this document was delivered to

17 the buyer?

18 A Either it was left at my office for her to pick

19 up or at the time of inspections when she supposedly

3:37PM 20 returned to town.

21 Q Which was at -- the time of the inspection we

22 determined earlier was either

23 A October 2 or October 4. Like Saturday or

24 Monday.

3:37PM25 Q So it was either on the 2nd or the 4th?

ABRAMS f MAR & KAHN 143

Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
3 : 37 PM 1 A Or left for her prior to tne inspection at my

2 of:ice.

3 Q And if it wasn't left for her but was given to

4 her on either October 2 or October 4, that would mean

3 :37PM 5 that the seller was late in delivering lt per the

6 contract's terms. Correct?

7 A Per the contract.

8 Q Let's look at section SB. Natural and

9 environmental hazards. And when is the seller's

3:37PM10 based on the contract, when was the seller required to

11 deliver that to the buyer?

12 A I think it's the same time, isn't it?

13 Q So on the 22nd?

14 A SA and B. Also within seven days, yes.

3:38PM 15 Q So under the contract the seller is required to

16 deliver the natural and environmental hazard report to

17 the buyer by September 22. Do you know when the seller

18 delivered it?

19 A I don't because generally we have that ordered

3:38PM20 through escrow. So I don't know when it was

21 distributed.

22 Q Would that be one of the documents that's in

23 Exhibit 120?

24 A No, because -- it normally wouldn't have it ln

3:39PM 25 the package of disclosures because it came through

6 A Sure.

7 Q "Condominium plan unit development disclosure."

8 When was the deadline to deliver that disclosure to the

9 buyer?

3:39PM 10 MR. SHULKIN: I'm sorry. Was there CC&Rs in this

11 transaction?

12 THE WITNESS: With the City of Beverly Hills and an

13 older property, sometimes.

14 Oh, I see. That would have been under -- if

3:40PM 15 you look at Exhibit 120, that is under the supplemental

16 statutory disclosures.

17 Q BY MR. KESHAVARZI: Second to last page?

18 A Right. And that would have been delivered with

19 the package of disclosures, either -- what 'was the

3:40PM20 original time I told you?

21 Q Either October 2 or 4th.

22 A No. Or prior to being left for the buyer to

23 pick up by the buyer's agent, both of which she was

24 supposedly out of town.

2 her on October 2 or October 4?

3:41PM15 that disclosure by September 22. Correct?

16 A Yes, according to the contract.

17 Q The seller did not make that disclosure by

18 September 22. Correct?

19 ----- The seller had made that disclosure. The buyer

3:41PM 20 didn't take receipt of it.

21 Q So now you1re sure that you left it at your

17 by September 22?

3 : 4 2 PM 1 Q .illd the delivery of that document was made

2 either on October 2 or October 4?

3 A Or -- see, there is one problem here. A

4 buyer's agent has the responsibility generally of taking

3 :42PM 5 care of receipt of these documents, these disclosu~es.

6 The disclosures were ready. Supposedly the

7 buyer's agent was out of town in this case, as that was

8 the buyer. This to me is a problem. Even if it had

9 been left, how do I I do not remember if the buyer

3:43PM1O might have even said "You know, I'll deal with it when I

11 get back. I'm not in town. Don't give it to me now."

12 I don't know if that was said. It may have

13 been. But the documents were prepared.

16 hard-wire smoke detectors and strap the water heater

17 properly prior to close of escrow.

18 Q Is there disclosure required to the buyer

19 regarding this?

3:45PM20 A There is a water heater and smoke detector

21 statement of compliance which ties into that.

22 Q And that's in our Exhibit 120?

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: The most probable pClce which a property shOuld bnng In a competitive and open market
urdec all conditions 'equlslte to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price IS rot
affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in thiS definition IS the consummation of a sale as of a speCified date and t~,e passing of title from
selier to buyer under conditions Whereby: (1) buyer and seller are typically motivated: 12) both parties are wellintormed or well adVIsed,
and each acting In what he conSiders his own best interest, (3) a reasonable lime IS allowed for exposure In the open market. 14) payment
's made In lerms Of cash In U S dollars or In terms of financial arrangements comparable therelO. and (5) the pnce 'epresents the normal
conSideration for the properly sold unaHected by special or creative finanCing or sales corcesslons' granted by anvone associated With the
')ale

•AdjUstments to the comparables must be made for special or creative finanCing or sales concessions No adJustmen.ts are necessary for
those costs which are rormaily paid by sellers as a result of tradition or law In a market area; these costs are readily Identifiable since the
seller pays these costs In Virtually all sales transactIOns Special or creative financing adjustments can be made to the comparable property
by comparisons to finanCing terms oHered by a th"d party institutIOnal lender that IS not already Involved In the property or transaction Any
ad'cstment should not be calculated on a mechanical dollar for dollar cost of the financing or concession but the dollar amocnt of any
ad,ustment should approXimate the market's reactIon to the finanCing or concessions based on the Appraiser sJudgment

STATEMENT OF LIMITING CONDITIONS AND APPRAISER'S CERTIFICATION

CONTINGENT AND LIMITING CONDITIONS: The appraisers certification that appears In the appraisal report IS subject to the
follOWing conditions'

1 The appraiser Will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect either the property being appraised or the tille to it The
appraiser assumes that the title is good and marketable and, therefore, will not render any opinions about the title. The property is appraised
on the baSIS of it being under responsible ownership.

Z The appraiser has provided a sketch in the appraisal report to show approximate dimensions of the improvements and the sketch is
Included only 10 assist the reader of the report in Visualizing the property and understanding the appraISer's determination of ItS size

3 The appraiser has examined the available flood maps that are prOVided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or other data
sources) and has noted In the appraisal report whether the subject Site is located in an identified SpeCial Flood Hazard Area Because the
appraiser is not a surveyor, he or she makes no guarantees, express or Implied, regarding this detenmination

4 The appraiser will not give testimony or appear in court because he or she made an appraisal of the property In questron, unless speCific
arrangements 10 do so have been made beforehand

5 The appraiser has estimated the value of the land In the cost approach at its highest and best use and the Improvements at their
contributory value These separate valuations of the land and Improvements must not be used In conjunction With any other appraisal and
are Invalid if they are so used

6 The appraiser has noted in the appraisal report any adverse conditions (such as, needed reparrs, depreCiation. the presence of hazardous
wastes. tOXIC substances. etc) observed during the inspection of the subject property or that he or she became aware of dUring the normal
research involved In performing Ihe appraISal Unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report. the appraiser has no KnOWledge of any hidden
or unapparent COnditionS of the property or adverse environmental conditions (inclUding the presence of hazardous wastes, tOXIC
substances, etc ) that would make the property more or less valuable, and has assumed that there are no such conditions and makes no
guarantees or warranties, express or Implied, regarding the condition of the property. The appraiser will not be responSible for any such
conditionS that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such condlllOns exist. Because the
appraiser is not an expert in the field of environmental hazards, the appraisal report must not be conSidered as an enwonmental assessment
of the property

'he appraiser obtained the Information, estimates, and opinions that were expressed In the appraisal 'eport from sources that he or she
conSiders to be reliable and believes them to be true and correct The appraiser does not assume responSibility for the accuracy of such
itemS that were furnished by other parnes

8 ~he appraiser will not disclose the contents of the appraisal report except as provided for In the Uniform Standards of Prolesslonal
App'alsal PractICe

9 The appraiser has based his or her appraisal report and valuation conclcSlor for an appraisal that IS sub,ect to satisfactory completIOn
repairs, or alterations on the assumption that completion of the Improvements WIll be performed In a workmanlike manner

10 The appraiser must prOVide his or her pnor wntten consent before the lender/client specified in tre appraisal 'eport can distribute the
oppralsal report lincludlng conclusions about the property value, the appraiser's Idertlty ane profeSSional deSigratlons, arc 'eferences to

DECLARAnON OF MARlA McLAURIN
211 I. Maria McLaurin, declare as follows:
3
4/1 1. I am the branch manager for the San Rafael branch of Countrywide

5 II Home Loans, Inc. ("Countrywide"). the branch that processed the loans for which Nivie
6 II Samaan applied to purchase the property at issue in this case (designated as Cuuntrywid~
7 II Joan numbers 81737375 and 81737383). 1 have personal knowledge of all facts set fonh in
8 this declaration. and if called as a witness could and would testify competently thereto.
9

10 2. 1 reviewed Countrywide's records concerning loan numbers 81737375


II II and 81737383. Among other records. I reviewed copies of Countrywide's loan origination
12 II files, including the loan applications. underwriting documents and correspondence
13 II concerning these Joans. The records that I reviewed are maintained in thc ordinary course
14 II of Countrywide's business, created at or near the time of any events in question and stored
15 II in the ordinary course of Countrywide's business.

16
171/ 3. Based on my review of the records associated with these loans, I
18 know the following to be true of my own knowledge.
19
20 4. In mid-October 2004, Countrywide processed loan number 81737375
21 II for Ms. Samaan's purchase of320 S. Peck Drive, in the City of Beverly Hills, California,
22" 90212. The loan was suspended. however. because Countrywide had not yet received a
23 II copy of the fully executed purchase agreement. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and
24 II correct copy of the underwriting condition Ictter issued by Countrywide and setting forth
25 II the basis for suspension of Ms. Samaan's loan. Bascd on the information she provided and
26 " subject to any later arising conditions, Ms. Samaan otherwise qualified for the loans, and if
,
2711 all underwriting and lender conditions were met, including the receipt of a fully executed I
,
I

28 purchase agreement. Countrywide would have processed the loans. i

D£CLI\RATION OF MARIA Mcf.AIJRIN Ii
724 / 745
Court File: "Volume IV Continued"
Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) Los Angeles Superior Court
5. Countrywide requires a fully executed purchase agreement (signed

211 and initialed on every page where applicable by both buyer and seller) before approving
3 and funding a purchase money loan. A fully executed purchase agreement enables
4 II Countrywide to approve the appraisal of the property prior to approving a loan, because

5 II the Lt:rn1S of the purchase agreement may affect the value of the property. COWltrywidc
6 II will not approve a loan until it has reviewed and approved the appraisal on the property for

7 II which the loan is being obtained.


8
9 II I declare under penalty of pcIjury of the; laws of the State of California that

10 II the foregoing is true and correct and that this Declaration is executed on May -<1, 2007 in

SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF JOSEPH ZERNIK IN SUPPORT OF MOTION
TO EXPUNGE NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF ACTION.
2

3 II I, Joseph Zemik, declare as follows:

4 1. I am the owner of the real property that is located at 320 South Peck Drive, Beverly

5 II Hills California (hereinafter the "Property").

6 2. I received the Additional Escrow Instructions on or about October 6, 2004, a copy


7 II of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 19, and I signed and delivered them to escrow on October 7,

8 II 2004.

9 3. I am a single father. In October 2004, my son was in high school at Beverly Hills

10 II High and I did not want to move into another school district, thereby causing my son to change

11 II schools in the middle of the school year. In the middle of October 2004, I needed to know whether

12 II Samaan would complete the purchase of the Property in order to be able to lease an apartment.

13 II Escrow was set to close on November 1,2004. I did not have the money to lease an apartment

14 II and pay the mortgage on the Property at the same time. In the middle of October 2004, I had not

15 II entered into a lease and the apartment that I was intending to lease had just been leased to third

16 II party. Therefore, I had to know immediately whether Samaan would close escrow on November
17 II 1,2004 in order to know whether to sign a lease. I could not sign a lease if! was unsure that

18 II Samaan was going complete the purchase of the Property. Given that Samaan had provided Mara

19 II Escrow with a NSF check for the initial deposit, I did not believe that she could make the balance

20 II of the deposit of$313,600 or obtain a loan for $1,374,400. That is why I gave the Notice to

21 II Perform and then cancelled the escrow when she refused to waive the Appraisal Contingency.

22 4. Sometime in October 2004, I received a telephone call from Mara Escrow

23 " requesting that I initial the bottom of the pages and sign the offer that I received from Ms. Samaan,

24 II a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 to Samaan's opposition to the motion to expunge. My

25 " best recollection is that within 24 hours after I received this message, I went to Mara Escrow and

26 II initialed the first eight pages and signed page 8 of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is

27/1 attached to my motion to expunge. J was never told by anyone as to why J was requested to initial
