Thetimeline below shows thatPlaintiffappeared in Court for thefirst time in Jan 2007. Falsifying4 records, and other abuses ofDue Process are documented starting January 2006.

    Samaan fails to obtain loans from Countrywide to purchasePlaintiffs residence, is found engaging in wire/fax fraud,and Zernik cancels escrow.Att C. Cummings RetainedSamaan fileS complaint and Notice ofLis PendensJudge Neidorfis assigned to the case, Samaan files aPeremptory Challenge.Judge Connor presides in a hearing on Demurrer, OSC, ISCAtt Cummings takes Samaan's Deposition, where sheadmits much ofthe fraud relative to preparation ofthe LoanApplications. In retrospect Plaintiffrealizes that AttCummings had by that time additional information, butavoided asking Samaan any incriminating questionsregarding the Prequalification Letter and the LoanApplications, and he concluded the deposition so thatSamaan would not be deposed again. Cummings would notbe able to explain his conduct later on.Att Cummings runs Motion to Expunge Lis Pendens, whichhe lost, but some comments along the way raise Plaintiffsconcerns.Plaintiffstarts review ofDiscovery materials in Cummingsoffice, and immediately realizes that there is substantialcriminal/fraud activity in the background of the litigation.

    "I have been informed ofMr Zernik's allegation thatthe October 14,2004 suspension letterwas issued onOctober 26, 2004 and is "an instrument ofdeception."There is no merit to Mr. Zernik's allegations.

    3. Samaan andOthers were involved in a convoluted fax/wire fraud Schemeagainst Plaintiffand against a FinancialInstitution

    1 These false claims were based on the fax header imprints on this document.2 However, the imprint is missing the identity of the sender, in violation ofFCC3 Regulations. Moreover, Plaintiffpresented in the Aug 9, 2007 Summary Judgment4 Hearing evidence that such imprints were generated as part of a convoluted fax/wire5 fraud scheme.

Plaintiffalso requested6 Judicial Notice ofDocket #40, where the various fraud cases are summarized per7 element in a table form, the wire fraud is found atDocket #40, pi9.89

    1011 Samaan claimed that the contract was faxed by Parks to Countrywide on Oct12 25,2004, at 5:03pm, but this document, like all other writings introduced by Samaan,13 was never authenticated. As part ofhis objection to the entering of such records as14 evidence, Plaintiffpresented evidence that demonstrated that Samaan, Parks, Lloyd,15 and an unknown person at Countrywide (McLaurin?) were engaged in an elaborate16 wire/fax fraud scheme across state lines. Such scheme was used to mislead17 plaintiff, an individual, and his realtor, and also to generate false loan records at18 Countrywide, a financial institution. The essence of that fraud was that Samaan19 (residing in Los Angeles) received and transmitted faxes on behalfofher loan broker,20 Parks (residing in the State ofWashington), assuming his identity, and operating a fax21 machine with no fax header ID. The transmission on Monday, October 25,2004,22 5:03pm was in fact from Nivie Samaan in Los Angeles to her husband, Jae Arre23 Lloyd, also in Los Angeles.24 When andhow did that recordfind its way into the Countrywide loan file?25 Plaintiffholds that the answer to that question is a key to understanding the26 fraud perpetrated by Countrywide against Plaintiffand against the United States27 government.

    1 misrepresented as true records ofSamaan's loan files. However, these documents are2 inherently contradictory, and are lacking any record of their origin.3 Countrywide must keep record of such transmissions in compliance with4 Regulation B ofthe Federal Reserve.5 As a first approximation, Plaintiffbelieves the scheme to work like this:6 I . Samaan would fax the documents to Lloyd, in part in order to generate on7 them the desired time stamp in the fax header imprints, adjusted at will.8 ii. Lloyd would receive them on a digital machine, or scan them.9 111. Lloyd would email them to McLaurin.

    10 IV. McLaurin would insert them into the loan file.11 Samaan falsely claimed that the Purchase Contract arrived at Countrywide on12 Monday, October 25, 2004, 5:03pm and effected dramatic progress in her loan13 approval- but is clear that the contract was not part ofSamaan's loan file even by14 Nov 3,2004. The Nov 3,2004 Underwriting Letter (Docket #40, pl15) still lists it as15 missing, under Condition #4:16 "Provide complete executedpurchase contract, escrow17 instructions will not act as a substitute".18 Samaan's counsel presented evidence that was inherently illogical- as19 described above, and he failed to authenticate the records. Plaintiffobjected on the20 basis that such records were part of fraud. In addition, as Plaintiffreminded21 Defendant Connor in the Aug 9,2007 hearing, Defendant Connor's Court's calendar22 had a hearing scheduled for Plaintiff'sMotion/or Sanctions per CCP 128. 7 against23 Samaan's Counsel, Att Keshavarzi, for filing such fraudulent documents.24 Defendant Connor refused to issue evidentiary rulings in this regard (Docket25 #53, Exh Vol II, p273), as was the case in other herings (Docket #53, Exh Vol II,26 p253). Defendant Connor clearly relied upon such fraudulent evidence (Docket #45)27 and claims made by Samaan in this regard in herAug 9, 2007 Order Granting28 Summary Judgment (Exh Vol IV, pl15). -25-

    5. Countrywide's Appearances in the LA Superior Court were some oUheWorst Abuses ofPlaintifFs Civil Rights for Due Process. Free Speech. andPossession

    1 Countrywide was closely related to this case. Countrywide's ChiefLegal2 Counsel Samuels is a close personal friend ofDefendant Goodman ( ), and also a long3 term friend ofDefendant Friedman ( ). Moreover, during much ofthe litigation4 Samuels served as President of the Board ofBet Tzedek - the "House ofJustice".5 Samuels prominently called for fighting fraud in these web pages. (Exh ), and6 solici ted calls for help from fraud victims.7 Mr Mozillo is featured in web pages on Corporate Ethics, and Coroporate8 Resonsibility, where he also solicits calls in re: Fraud.9 In early 2007, Plaintiff approached Mr Mozillo andMr Samuels, expressed his

    10 concerns that Countrywide was involved in fraud against him, and asked that they11 authenticate or repudiate the documents that Plaintiffholds to be the key to the fraud-12 the Underwriting Decision /Condition Letter (Docket #44), and the Real Estate13 Purchase Contract (Docket #45).14 Bet Tzedek web pages were removed from the web soon after that, and later15 Countrywide appeared in Defendant Connor's Court, and initiated procedures that16 were some of the most abusive ofPlaintiffs rights for Due Process and Free Speech-17 the July 6, 2007Ex Parte Application and the July 23, 2007 Short Notice Hearing,18 both for Protective (gag) Orders (see below).19 In over a year that passed since Plaintifffirst approached Mr Mozillo and Mr20 Samuels in this regard, Countrywide has consistently refused to make any statement21 whatsoever regarding the authenticity of the documents in question. At the same time,22 McLaurin, a Countrywide Branch Manager, continued to produce false and23 deliberately misleading declarations (Docket #38), colluding with Samaan in her24 fraudulent litigation in LA Superior Court.25262728 -27-

    1 The July 6, 2007Ex Parte Hearing purportedly allowed Countrywide a2 Discovery Motion, when discovery motions were no longer allowed to other parties in3 this case. Defendant Connor than made rulings after the fact, July 12, 2007, that4 Discovery Cut OffDate did not apply to Countrywide, but only to Plaintiff (Docket5 #53, Exh Vol11 p240).6 Defendant Connor denied Countrywide's July 6, 2007Application. She allowed7 Countrywide to re-file its moving papers, without giving it any deadline, she set a8 deadline for Plaintiff to file his opposing papers by July 12, 2007, and she set a9 shortened notice hearing for July 23, 2007 (July 6, 2007Minute Order, Exh Vol II.

Plaintiffappeared before each and every one ofDefendants that are6 Judges of the LA Superior Court with Requests for Safeguard ofDue Process, which7 included a request for determination ofCountrywide's party designation.

    1 their conduct will be burden the American taxpayer in years to come. The cost of the2 sub-prime crisis to the Treasury and the burden it will generate on the U.S. economy3 is difficult to even estimate at this time, but the impact onmany thousands of families,4 who are losing their homes all around the country is visible and real.5 Almost without exception those losing their homes, are almost the last one6 families or individuals who held residential mortgage loans generated by7 Countrywide, re-financed with Countrywide, or serviced by Countrywide after being8 originated by others.9 In that respect this case is unique - Plaintiffnever had any business dealings

    10 with Countrywide whatsoever. In fact, as late as November-December 2006, when11 he first saw the name on subpoena papers, he did not even recognize the name. That12 is over a year after litigation in Samaan v Zernikwas initiated in the Los Angeles13 Superior Court.14 And yet, Countrywide, a giant corporation is operating its massive machinery to15 impact extreme violation ofPlaintiff's civil rights under the hands of the Los Angeles16 Superior Court, West District. The judges ofWest District, Officials of the State of17 California have been engaging in perpetrating such abuse ofPlaintiffunder the color18 ofthe law for the third year in a row, and have brought him to the brink: ofdestruction,19 both financial and physical. Some ofthese judges are close personal friends or20 acquaintances ofCountrywide's ChiefLegal Counsel, Defendant Samuels -like21 Defendant Goodman, and Defendant Friedman. Other judges are otherwise22 determined to obstruct justice on behalfof Countrywide, although Plaintiffmay not be23 aware of their exact motivation.24 For example, Defendant Connor - her court entered as on July 24, 2007 the25 following note in "Case History" in "Sustain" - the Court's case management system,26 in the opening screen, ensuring its permanent visibility -27 "Countrywide Home Loans, IncReal Parties in Interest'28 -30-

Sept 10, 2007Minute Order - Motion fo r Sanctions per CCP 128. 7 (!2ocket10 #39. pp105-110), recorded a hearing that was never heard and a ruling that was never11 ruled, as can be concluded by comparing the Minute Order to the Sept 10,200712 Transcript (Docket # unassigned yet. Exh Vol III. p510). As is recorded in the13 transcript, Defendant Connor entered this false and deliberately misleading minute14 order after her disqualification, with no authority at all. This Minute Order represents15 Obstruction of Justice. Defendant Connor generated a false litigation record to the16 effect that Countrywide records are not fraud at all.

    In addition, this minute order and the respective transcript record the fact that18 after disqualification, with no authority at all, she re-assigned the case on Sept 10,19 2007 to Judge Goodman, who on Oct 3,2007 (Docet # 39, Exh Vol I, Case History,20 pp121-124), in his disqualification statement recalled his long-term close personal

    friendship with Samuels - ChiefLegal Counsel ofCountrywide.2223242526 On Sept 7, 2007 in the late afternoon Plaintiffreceived by email a notice for a27 "hearing" to be conducted by Proposed Referee O'Brien on the morning of Sept 10,28 2007. That "hearing" conflicted with a court hearing scheduled for that same time.-41-

    1 Plaintiff immediately requested that Defendant O'Brien provide the documents2 that are the legal foundation for his appointment.3 Defendant O'Brien, Proposed Referee, presented to Plaintiffon Sept 7, 20074 the following:5 a) Aug 30, 2007 Minute Order by Judge Connor (Docket #53. Exh Vol II. p279).6 This document surely was inadequate for an Escrow Referee for execution of a7 Judgment by Court.8 The Minute Order states:9

    12 b) Aug 9, 2007 Order Granting Summary Judgment (Docket # unassignedyet,Exh Vol IV- Minute Orders. Orders, Rulings from Paper Court File, p112)This document, too, surely was inadequate for execution of a Judgment by

    14 Court, and reflected the deceptive conduct of the LA Superior Court and the Judges,15 who at once blamed Plaintiff for refusing to obey the Aug 9, 2007 Judgment by16 Court, and also made it clear that they did not consider it a valid record, by omitting it17 from any record ofthe Court after Aug 9, 2007.

    The Transcript says: (Docket #unassignedyet , Exh Vol 111- Transcripts. p537)192021222324

    WHY DON'T I ASK JUDGE GOODMAN TO CLARIFYTHAT I'M BEING APPOINTED PURSUANT TO 639 - IBELIEVE - (A)(2), WHICH SAYS THAT AFTER AN ORALJUDGMENT IS ENTERED, THE COURT MAY APPOINT AREFEREE TO OVERSEE ENFORCEMENT OF THEJUDGMENT.

    THE COURT: ALL RIGHT. THERE'S A DOCUMENTTHAT I DON'T KNOW THE SOURCE OF IT , BUT IT WASRECEIVED IN THE COURT HOUSE ON THE 14TH , ANDIT'S A PROPOSED ORDER WITH RESPECT TO RETIREDJUDGE O'BRIEN SERVING AS THE ESCROW REFEREE.AND I SEE FROM THE MINUTE ORDER OF AUGUST 30THAT HE WAS APPOINTED AS REFEREE.

    In addition, Defendant O'Brien himself conceded that he was operating without9 any authority when he lodged a Proposed Order for his own appointment as an Escrow

    10 Referee on September 14, 2007, that is after he conducted a hearing on Sept 10.2007.11 (Docket #unassignedyet, Exh Vol IV- Minute Orders. Orders. Rulings. Judgments.12 from Paper Court File. p170).

    In an act that was a display of blatant dishonesty, and a gross abuse of14 Plaintiffs Due Process rights, Judge Goodman conducted a entirely unnoticed15 hearing on that Proposed Order on Sept 17,2007, while pretending that he did not16 know its origin (Docket #unassignedyet, Exh Vol III- Transcripts. p512):17181920212223 But at the same time, Judge Goodman entered on Sept 14, 2007 a note in24 Sustain Case History, which in fact is the only entry on that day, and which normally25 would never be seen by litigants, as follows (Docket #39, Exh Vol It Sustain Case26 History. pI13):2728

    II.Defendant who is Receiver Pasternak was appointed through a fraudulentmotion procedure presidedby Defendant Segal13 Defendant Pasternak is not eligible for any immunity since his appointment on14 November 9, 2007 was the outcome of a fraudulent motion by Att Keshavarzi (Exh1516 Exhibit A in that Motion, which would have been the legal foundation for the17 appointment was stated in Att Kehsavarzi's Declaration under penalty ofperjury to be18 the "Judgment by Court Pursuant to CCP 437c" issued on Aug 9, 2007 by Defendant19 Connor.

    In fact Att Keshavarzi never included the Judgment in any document, since he2120

Instead he included under Tab A the24 Aug 9, 2007 Order Granting Summary Judgment. Such an Order is not sufficient as25 the basis for execution ofjudgment as entailed by Pasternak.

    In the Nov 9, 2007 Transcript Att Keshavarzi explicitly states that the reason he27 never included a copy of the Aug 9, 2007 Judgment by Court, which he blamed26

    Plaintiffobjected to such a motion as based on fraud - founded on false and13 deliberately misleading statements and misidentification oflegal documents. Judge14 Segal, after hearing a detailed account ofKeshavarzi's deliberately misleading, false15 declaration under penalty ofperjury signed the order nevertheless.

    Defendant Pasternak was personally informed by Plaintiffof the fraud in the17 Moving papers relative to the omission of theAug 9,2007 Judgment by Court and its18 replacement by theAug 9, 2007Order Granting Summary Judgment Motion.

    Defendant Pasternak never followed the Rules ofCourt o fLA Superior Court20 re: Execution of Judgment (see below).

    Defendant Pasternak is also involved in fraud relative to the transfer ofthe2322 Deed on the record in the office of LA County Register/Recorder.

    The CCP does assign liability to Receiver even ifhis appointment were24 adequate, in cases where the receiver violated the law, as in the case at bar.25262728
