    AFFIDAVIT OF NEIL J. GILLESPIE November 9, 2015

    TO DISQUALIFY JUDGE HALE STANCIL NOV-09-2015

    4

    Question of disqualification of a trial judge focuses on those matters from which a litigant may

    reasonably question a judge's impartiality rather than the court's own perception of its ability to

    act fairly and impartially. West’s F.S.A. § 38.10, Valdes-Fauli v. Valdes-Fauli, 903 So.2d 214,

    Fla.App. 3 Dist.,2005 reh'g denied, (Feb. 17, 2005).

    18. Sufficiency of motion or affidavit of prejudice. A motion to disqualify must show that the party fears that he or she will not receive a fair trial or hearing because: (1) of a specifically

    described prejudice or bias of the judge; Fla. R. Jud. Admin., Rule 2.160 (d)(1). Generally, the

    critical determination in deciding the legal sufficiency of a motion to disqualify has been

    whether the facts alleged would prompt a reasonably prudent person to fear he or she would not

    receive a fair trial, Barnhill v. State, 834 So.2d 836 Fla., 2002. If a motion to recuse is

    technically sufficient and the facts alleged therein also would prompt a reasonably prudent

     person to fear that he or she could not get a fair and impartial trial from the judge, the motion is

    legally sufficient and should be granted. Coleman v. State, 866 So.2d 209, Fla.App. 4 Dist.,2004.

    The motion to disqualify a judge should contain facts germane to the judge's undue bias,

     prejudice, or sympathy. Chamberlain v. State, 881 So.2d 1087, Fla., 2004.

    19. Whether a motion to disqualify a judge is legally sufficient requires a determination as to

    whether the alleged facts would create in a reasonably prudent person a well-founded fear of not

    receiving a fair and impartial trial. Fla. R. Jud. Admin., Rule 2.160 (f), Rodriguez v. State, 919

    So.2d 1252, Fla.,2005, as revised on denial of reh'g, (Jan. 19, 2006). The primary consideration

    in determining whether motion to disqualify trial judge should be granted is whether the facts

    alleged, if true, would place a reasonably prudent person in fear of not receiving a fair and 

    impartial trial. Arbelaez v. State, 898 So.2d 25, Fla.,2005, reh'g denied, (Mar. 18, 2005). A

    motion for disqualification must be granted if the alleged facts would cause a reasonably prudent

     person to have a well-founded fear that he/she would not receive a fair and impartial trial. Jarp v.

    Jarp, 919 So.2d 614, Fla.App. 3 Dist.,2006. The test a trial court must use in determining

    whether a motion to disqualify a judge is legally sufficient is whether the facts alleged would  place a reasonably prudent person in fear of not receiving a fair and impartial trial. Scott v. State,

    909 So.2d 364, Fla.App. 5 Dist.,2005, reh'g denied, (Sept. 2, 2005). The motion to disqualify a

     judge must be well-founded and contain facts germane to the judge's undue bias, prejudice, or 

    sympathy. Scott v. State, 909 So.2d 364, Fla.App. 5 Dist.,2005, reh'g denied, (Sept. 2, 2005).

    20. Disqualification is required when litigants demonstrate reasonable, well-grounded fear 

    that they will not receive fair and impartial trial, or that judge has pre-judged case. Williams v.

    Balch, 897 So.2d 498, Fla.App. 4 Dist., 2005.

    21. Time for filing motion; waiver of objection. A motion to disqualify shall be filed within a

    reasonable time not to exceed 10 days after discovery of the facts constituting the grounds for themotion and shall be promptly presented to the court for an immediate ruling. Fla. R. Jud.

    Admin., Rule 2.160(e). Although a petition to disqualify a judge is not timely filed,

    extraordinary circumstances may warrant the grant of an untimely motion to recuse. Klapper-

    Barrett v. Nurell, 742 So.2d 851, Fla.App. 5 Dist.,1999.

    22. Judicial determination of initial motion. The judge against whom an initial motion to

    disqualify us directed shall determine only the legal sufficiency if the motion an shall not pass on

    AFFIDAVIT OF NEIL J. GILLESPIE

    November

    9 2015

    TO DISQUALIFY JUDGE HALE STANCIL NOV-09-2015

    the truth of the facts alleged. Fla. R Judicial Admin. 2.160(t).

    No

    other reason for denial shall

    be stated, and an order of denial shall not tale issue with the motion. Fla. R. Judicial Admin.

    2.160(t). Accordingly, a judge may not rule on the truth of the facts alleged

    or

    address the

    substantive issues raised by the motion but may only determine the legal sufficiency of the

    motion. Knarich v. State, 866 So.2d 165 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2d Dist. 2004). In determining

    whether the allegations that movant will not receive a fair trial so as to disqualify a

    judge

    are

    sufficient, the facts alleged must be taken as true (Frengel v. Frengel, 880 So.2d 763, Fla.App. 2

    Dist.,2004), and must be viewed from the nlovant's perspective. Siegel v. State,

    861

    So.2d 90,

    Fla.App. 4 Dist.,2003.

    23. Case law forbids trial judges to refute facts set forth in a motion to disqualify, and their

    doing so will result in judicial disqualification irrespective of the facial sufficiency of the

    underlying claim. Brinson v. State, 789 So.2d 1125, Fla.App. 2 Dist.,200

    1

    A trial judge's

    attempt to refute charges of partiality thus exceeds the scope of inquiry on a motion to disqualify

    and alone establishes grounds for disqualification. J & J Industries, Inc. v. Carpet Showcase of

    Tampa Bay, Inc., 723 So.2d 281, Fla.App. 2 Dist.,1998.

    24. Whether the motion is legally sufficient is a pure question of law; it follows that the

    proper standard of review is the de novo standard (Sume v. State, 773 So.2d 600 Fla.App. 1

    Dist.,2000) and an order denying a motion to disqualify a trial judge is reviewed for abuse of

    discretion. King v. State, 840 So.2d 1047, Fla.,2003.

    25. Once a motion for disqualification has been filed, no further action can be taken by the

    trial court, even if the trial court is not aware of the pending motion. Brown v. State

    863 So.2d 1274, Fla.App. 1 Dist.,2004. A judge presented with a motion to disqualify him- or

    herself must rule upon the sufficiency of the motion immediately and may not consider other

    matters before considering the disqualification motion. Brown v. State 863 So.2d 1274, Fla.App.

    1 Dist.,2004. The court is required to rule immediately on the motion to disqualify the judge,

    even though the movant does not request a hearing. Fuster-Escalona v. Wisotsky,

    781

    So.2d

    1063, Fla.,2000. The rule places the burden on the judge to rule immediately, the movant is not

    required to nudge the judge nor petition for a writ of mandamus. G.C. v Department

    of

    Children

    and Families, 804 So.2d 525 Fla.App. 5 Dist., 2002.

    The undersigned movant certifies that the motion and the movant's statements are made

    in good faith.

    Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have read the foregoing motion and the facts

    stated in it are true.

    DATED FEBRUARY 10, 1997, ET AL.

    DEFENDANTS’ ANSWER TO VERIFIED COMPLAINT TO FORECLOSE

    HOME EQUITY CONVERSION MORTGAGE (HECM); DEFENSES AND CLAIMS IN

    RECOUPMENT; OTHER DEFENSES; COUNTER-CLAIMS; AND CROSS-CLAIMS

    Defendants Neil J. Gillespie, individually, and as former Trustee (F.S. Ch. 736 Part III)

    of the terminated Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement Dated February 10, 1997

    (“Terminated Trust”), a person with disabilities, indigent, denied counsel appointment, and 

    reluctantly appearing pro se, answers the Plaintiff’s Verified Complaint To Foreclose Home

    Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) (“Verified Complaint”, “HECM”, and/or “reverse

    mortgage”), demand trial by jury, and allege:

    1. As to paragraph 1 of the Verified Complaint, Defendants deny the allegations. A HECM

    reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan and the lender has no further means to collect the debt.

    2. As to paragraph 2 of the Verified Complaint, Defendants deny the allegations. A HECM

    reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan and the lender has no further means to collect the debt.

    There nothing is attached to the Verified Complaint as Exhibits "A" and "B," respectively.Previously I notified HUD and RMS that the mortgage alleged to be recorded in the public

    records of Marion County was void for interlineation, a hand-written material alteration, not

    initialed and not dated. See Bland v. Fidelity Trust Co., 71 Fla. 499, 71 So. 630 (1916). Under 

    Florida law a material alteration voids the instrument and destroys the identity of the contract

    rendering it unenforceable. The interlineation is evidence of fraud by the lender and/or lender-

    affiliated parties.

    A.

    ANNUAL

    PERCENTAGE RATE (APR)

    The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for the interest portion

    of

    your FINANCE CHARGE may increase or decrease annually based upon changes in the

    ("Index"). Therefore, the monthly and daily periodic rates relating to the interest portion

    of

    your FINANCE CHARGE may vary. To detern1ine the ANNUAL

    PERCENTAGE RATE that will apply to your Account,

    we

    add a margin to the value

    of

    the Index, subject to certain rate limitations as provided in your

    Reverse Mortgage Note.

    The corresponding annual percentage rate for the interest portion

    of

    the FINANCE CHARGE does not include costs other than interest. The historical

    ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE includes interest and all other FINANCE

    CHARGES

    that relate to your loan.

    B. FINANCE CHARGES

    Each advance or payment made to you or on your behalf under your Reverse Mortgage will be subject to a FINANCE CHARGE beginning on the day afte

    each advance

    or

    payment is made. A FINANCE CHARGE will continue to be assessed on your Reverse Mortgage until the entire outstanding balance and

    all fees due under the Notes, Security Instruments and Loan Agreement are paid.

    C.INTEREST

    The interest portion of the FINANCE CHARGE on your Account is computed by (i) calculating the FINANCE CHARGE on the balance existing at the

    beginning

    of

    each month, which includes any payments

    or

    credits applied to your loan during the previous month, (ii) calculating the FINANCE CHARGE on

    each advance, payment

    or

    credit made to you

    or

    on your behalf during the month, and then (iii) adding all

    of

    these sums together, as follows:

    We start with the outstanding principal balance on your Account at the beginning

    of

    each month, which includes FINANCE CHARGES from the previous

    month (the "Previous Loan Balance"). At the end

    of

    each month, we multiply the Previous Loan Balance by the then-current ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE

    divided by 12 (the "Monthly Periodic Rate").

    At the end

    of

    each month

    in

    which any advances (also known as disbursements and labeled as "Disb" on this statement)

    or

    payments have been made to

    you or on your behalf, we multiply the amount

    of

    the advance or payment by the number

    of

    days remaining in the month after that advance or payment was

    made (not including the day the advance was made) and then multiply this amount by the then-current ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE divided by 365 (the

    "Daily Periodic Rate"). This calculation is repeated for each advance

    or

    payment made to you

    or

    on your behalf during the month.

    The sum

    of

    the final result

    of

    these calculations equals the interest portion of your FINANCE CHARGE for the month.

    D. MORTGAGE INSURANCE PREMIUMS (MIP)

    In

    addition, mortgage insurance premiums ("MIP"), which are a FINANCE CHARGE, are computed by as follows:

    At the end

    of

    each month, we multiply the lesser

    of

    the Previous Loan Balance

    or

    the maximum balance on which HUD requires MIP to be paid to it by your

    MIP rate divided by 12 (the "MIP Monthly Period Rate"). At the end

    of

    each month

    in

    which any advances (also known as disbursements and labeled as

    "Disb" on this statement) or payments have been made to you or on your behalf, we multiply the amount of the advance

    or

    payment (other than any advance

    or payment that exceeds the maximum advances

    or

    payments on which HUD requires MIP to be paid) by the number

    of

    days remaining

    in

    the

    n10nth

    afte

    that advance or payment was made (not including the

    day

    the advance was made),and then multiply this amount by your MIP rate divided by 365 (the "MIP

    Daily Periodic Rate"). This calculation is repeated for each advance

    or

    payment made to you

    or

    on your behalf during the month.

    The sum of the final result of these calculations equals the mortgage insurance portion

    of

    your FINANCE CHARGE for the month.

    E. CALCULATION

    OF

    BALANCES

    The "Principal Limit Information" section on the front

    of

    the monthly statement shows your "Original Principal Limit" and your "Net Principal Limit" which

    includes any "Set Asides". The "Loan Balance" section on page 2

    of

    this monthly statement shows your prior month's Previous Loan Balance and you

    2006 Dr. Howell wrote to Dr. Christopher Grainger, Ms. Gillespie's primary

    care doctor, that she was being treated for Alzheimer's dementia, and she was not competent to

    make any financial decisions:

    "I have been treating the patient for Alzheimer's dementia..." and "It is my impression

    that the patient has moderate Alzheimer's and

    is

    not competent to give things away or

    Rubin, M.D wrote to Dr. Granger about Ms. Gillespie's

    participation

    in

    a research study. Dr. Rubin diagnosed Ms. Gillespie with moderate dementia

    consistent with Alzheimer's disease, currently treated with Aricept and Namenda. Dr. Rubin noted in

    his Neurological Examination that "She

    is

    disoriented and certainly confused." The letter

    is

    14.

    A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM,

    is

    a Federal Housing Administration

    (FHA) "reverse" mortgage program administered by the Secretary, United States Department

    of

    Housing and Urban Development (Secretary or HUD) to enable home owners over 62 years old

    access the subject home's equity. A HECM reverse mortgage

    is

    governed by federal law:

    12 U.S.C.

    §

    1715z-20 - Insurance of home equity conversion mortgages for elderly

    homeowners; and 24 CFR Part 206 - Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Insurance

    15.

    A HECM reverse mortgage

    is

    a non-recourse loan, and the lender has no further means to

    collect the debt beyond the terms of the original documents. The accounts in this case include:

    Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Case Number: 091-4405741

    Section 673.4051(1)(a), Fla. Stat. lack of legal capacity of the borrower

    16.

    On April 22, 2008 I attended a telephonic HECM counseling session with Ms. Gillespie,

    and Susan Gray, a HUD approved HECM counselor. The counseling session did not comply

    with HECM rules. Ms. Gillespie was not able to answer questions showing she understood a

    reverse mortgage. A transcript

    of

    the counseling session shows Ms. Gillespie did not actively

    participate in the call or the counseling. Ms. Gray did not ask Ms. Gillespie to "successfully

    answer five

    of

    the ten review questions" or make other effort to determine if she understood

    basic information about reverse mortgages, which was impossible due to Alzheimer's disease,

    but required under

    12

    USC

    §

    1715z-20(f) Counseling services and information for mortgagors.

    Therefore Ms. Gray should not have issued the certificate to Ms. Gillespie, but she did anyway.

    17.

    Ms. Gillespie had Alzheimer's disease and dementia and lacked capacity at the time of

    the HECM counseling session April 22, 2008. Ms. Gillespie lacked capacity at the time of the

    HECM loan closing June 5, 2008. Elizabeth "Liz" Baize

    of

    the Ocala office

    of

    The Park Avenue

    Bank was the HECM loan originator. I told Ms. Baize that Penelope Gillespie had Alzheimer's

    disease early

    in

    the origination process. Ms. Baize's only concern was whether a guardianship

    was in place for Ms. Gillespie. There was no guardianship.

    18.

    Liz Baize did not require anyone to act as power

    of

    attorney for Ms. Gillespie. Instead,

    the bank had me and Mark Gillespie added to the quit-claim deed along with Ms. G-illespie, and

    required us all to sign the HECM Notes and HECM Mortgages. When the HECM closed June 5

    2008, Penelope Gillespie age 77 was the only person age 62 or older qualified to be a HECM

    borrower. I was age 52. Mark Gillespie was age 49.

    19.

    At all times pertinent to this HECM, Ms. Gillespie was not competent and suffered from

    Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

    or

    should have

    known Ms. Gillespie was not competent and suffered from Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

    21. Charles J. Thomas, a New York Supreme Court Judge, voided a reverse mortgage and its

    subsequent refinancing on the grounds that the borrower's mental illness made her unable to

    understand the reverse mortgage. The Order and a related news story are attached.

    Matter of Doar (Brunson) 2009 NY Slip Op 29549 [28 Misc 3d 759] December 18, 2009

    Thomas, J. Supreme Court, Queens County Published by New York State Law Reporting

    Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Thursday, October 7 2010.

    Appellate Division continued to require that a mortgagee have knowledge of the

    mortgagor's incapacity before the contract which is otherwise voidable could be voided.

    In order to void a contract which is voidable because

    of

    incapacity, the mortgagor must

    establish that the mortgagee had knowledge of the incapacity and were not bona fide

    mortgagees for value. (See Weisberg v DeMeo, 254 AD2d 351, 351 [1998].)

    Under these circumstances, the court finds that Hermina Brunson was incapable of

    understanding the agreements that she signed on April 21, 2003 and that Financial

    Freedom is charged with the responsibility to determine, and was in a position to know

    of

    her incapacity. Therefore, the court finds the mortgages on June 20, 2003 void.

    22. Therefore this HECM is void or voidable because the mortgagee had knowledge of the

    incapacity and were not bona fide mortgagees for value.

    of

    RE: Penelope

    Gillespie

    73008

    Dear

    Dr.

    Grainger:

    I last saw Ms. Gillespie in

    February. I

    have since received notffication from her

    son

    who

    takes ca e of her

    and

    lives with her

    that

    she had

    contributed 40,000 towards

    a

    mortgage to purchase a share in

    a

    rests

    rant

    and

    the

    money was gone and the

    restaurant

    closed. This

    involved

    one

    of

    the patient s

    children, a daughter.

    The patient

    also apparently

    gave

    several

    paintings

    to the

    daughter

    and

    they

    were not famny portraits

    or

    heirl ms, but they

    were worth around 20.000. The

    patient herself didn t

    know how she

    got

    the

    paintings

    and

    wasn t certain

    as to

    whether

    the

    paintings

    were on loan to

    the

    daughter or whether she is going to return them. The pat ent also was

    riding in

    a

    car with

    a friend

    who

    would drink

    and

    drjve.

    At

    this point the son now lives with her and has

    Power

    of Attorney.. .

    I

    have

    been

    treating the patient for

    Alzheimer s

    dementia, which

    Is

    moderate. She

    is

    on

    both

    day

    and Namenda 10mg b.i.d.

    along with

    her

    other medications, which include Dlovan for

    hYPertenslorl. Digoxin

    for

    her heart. Nitroglycerine, Nu-iron for anemia,

    va,rjous

    vitamins,

    and

    Aspirin.

    I

    It is my Impression that the patient has moderate AlzheJmer·s

    nd

    Is

    not competent

    to give things

    a

    ay

    or make

    any financial decisions and needs Power of Attorney or

    her

    bills

    and-

    t8k care of her

    and make sure

    that

    she doesn t give away items or her money to inappropriate people.

    The

    patient s

    other medications right

    include Metoprolol, Oynacirc, Coumadin, Lasix. Spiron actone, Nu

    Re: Penelope M. Gillespie

    Chart : 56021

    Dear

    Christopher:

    Thank you for

    requesting a

    neurological

    consu1tation

    regarding this 77-year-old

    female

    with Alzheimer's

    disease.

    Mrs.

    Gillespie

    is accompanied by

    her

    son who is a

    very

    good

    historian.

    He

    also

    provided a

    nicely printed

    list

    regarding her

    current

    medications.

    History

    of Present Illness:

    Mrs. Gillespie has a history

    of

    progressive short-term memory

    impairment

    culminating

    with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease made by Dr. A. Singh in 2004. She was placed on

    Namenda

    and

    then

    evaluated

    neurologically

    by Dr.

    Howell

    and

    treated

    with Aricepl In

    2007, Aricept

    was stopped

    for eighteen days

    whereupon

    her memory worsened.

    Mrs. GiJJespie

    stopped

    driving in

    2004. Her son

    cooks and

    manages her

    medications.

    She generally

    eats

    and sleeps well, sleeping

    about

    eight to ten hours a

    day on the average, and

    she

    infrequently awakens

    during

    the night. She wears Depends for incontinence and

    for

    occasional diarrhea.

    She

    has

    some episodes of increased confusion but

    no

    hallucinations.

    Generally,

    her disposition is

    very

    good and she

    is

    quite cooperative.

    More

    recently. she

    has been under

    the care

    of

    Dr.

    Gaya,

    but

    her

    son

    expressed

    an

    interest

    in the Alzheimer's

    Investigational Study. Her son indicates that Mrs. Gillespie

    has

    had more confusion this

    year.

    For example, she

    often

    does

    not seem

    to

    realize that

    her

    son Jives

    with

    her.
