RE: Mr. Vanstrum’s email January 30, 2014; new records request to Mr. Harkness,records custodian; failure to provide records requested January 17, 2014 and January 21,2014; provide the records immediately.

Dear Mr. Harkness and Mr. Vanstrum,

Mr. Vanstrum’s email below states,

“I have been asked to look into this matter. As of today, we have not been able to locate

either the letter or e-mail you reference. If you will forward me a copy of complaint, Iwill make sure it is processed accordingly. Thank you.”

It sounds like The Florida Bar lost my complaint for Mr. Davidson. It also appears The FloridaBar failed to enter the complaint electronically into The Florida Bar’s computer system uponreceipt of the paper copy delivered Wednesday January 15, 2014 at 10:56 A.M. signed by Jones,UPS tracking number 1Z64589FP297361600, see attached.

My letter accompanying the complaint was addressed to Mr. Littlewood because he opened thecomplaint for Danielle Nicole Parsons, The Florida Bar File No. 2014-30,525 (9A), for whichMr. Davidson in responding thereto engaged in the misconduct complained about.

Because The Florida Bar lost my complaint, I will submit a new complaint if necessary. Please provide the mailing address to send the complaint, and the contact person. Also, please describehow the process should work. I understand The Bar recently changed to “local professionalism

panels” a.k.a. crony local discipline components as described by the American Bar Association:

Local components, such as local bar investigative committees, foster cronyismas well as prejudice against unpopular respondents. - ABA McKay Report 1992



John F. Harkness, Executive Director January 30, 2014Arne C. Vanstrum, Associate Director of Lawyer Regulation Page - 2

Public records request to Mr. Harkness, Records Custodian:

Please provide records showing the intake procedure for complaints against a lawyer as it pertains to entering the complaint into The Florida Bar’s computer system. It is my

understanding that “The Florida Bar converts its disciplinary files to electronic media.” see theattached “Notice, Mailing Instructions”. Provide records showing the terminology for The Bar’s process of converting its discipline files to electronic media. That way I can discuss this processin terms understood by The Florida Bar.

Also, I still do not have a response to records request made January 17, 2014 and January 21,2014, see attached. You may forgo a response to,

Request No. 4: (January 21, 2014)Was anyone given the 2014 Distinguished Judicial Service Award? If so, please provide recordsshowing the recipient.

because I located that information myself.

Otherwise I demand an response to my records request immediately.

Finally, what benefit is there for a person making a complaint against a lawyer? For example,what was the best result I could have obtained in my complaints against Robert W. Bauer?

The Florida Bar File No. 2011-00,073 (8B)The Florida Bar File No. 2013-00,540 (8B).

Mr. Bauer was a referral from The Bar’s Lawyer Referral Service who charged me $31,863.

Sincerely,

Neil J. Gillespie8092 SW 115th LoopOcala, Florida 34481

Theodore P. Littlewood Jr., Bar CounselAttorney Consumer Assistance ProgramThe Florida Bar

651 East Jefferson StreetTallahassee, FL 32399-2300

RE: Complaint against Barry Rodney Davidson, ID Number 107678

Dear Mr. Littlewood:

Please find enclosed my ethics inquiry for Mr. Davidson for violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct. In addition, Mr. Davidson violated F.S. § 837.06, False officialstatements. Mr. Davidson falsely stated in his letter to you January 8, 2014, page 2, that I,

“named as apparent parties Former President Jimmy Carter” and “the United Nations”

in Petition No. 13-7280. President Cater and the United Nations are not parties.

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

Enclosed is the “List of Parties” page iv from Petition No. 13-7280, that shows President Carter and the United Nations as “Observer” because the rules do not provide for a “List of Observers”.

Observer: Request to President Jimmy Carter for an observer, due to fraud or impairment of Petition No. 12-7747, a legitimate government activity (18 U.S.C. § 371), deprivation of rightsunder color of law (18 U.S.C. § 242), and conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241).

Observer, Urgent Appeal: Protection from Persecution: Special Rapporteur, Independence of Judges and Lawyers, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the Special Rapporteur,Disability, United Nations Enable, Secretariat for the Convention on the Rights of Persons withDisabilities, for protection from political persecution, and for an observer, due to fraud or impairment of Petition No. 12-7747, a legitimate government activity (18 U.S.C. § 371), etc.

Mr. Davidson’s full paragraph with the above quotes is set forth here,

Finally, while it does not relate directly to the merits of the complaints by Mr. Gillespie Ido think it relevant in regard to credibility to note that he has: 1) petitioned the USSupreme Court, Petition No. 13-7280, concerning remand of his attempt to move theforeclosure to Federal Court and named as apparent parties Former President JimmyCarter, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the United Nations. The Florida Bar isalso suggested as a "cross-party." 2) filed an "Appeal" to the United Nations on October



Theodore P. Littlewood Jr., Bar Counsel January 14, 2014Attorney Consumer Assistance Program Page - 2

25, 2013 seeking protection from political persecution in the United States from TheFlorida Bar, the law firm of Ryan et al, U.S. Judge Terrell Hodges and Florida attorneyEugene P. Castagliuolo. 3) petitioned the US Supreme Court in regard to proceedings inthe Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida, Petition No. 127747 and 4) he is subject toinvestigation by the Florida Bar for UPL in matter number 20133090-5.

Petitioning the US Supreme Court is not a negative “in regard to credibility” as claimed by him, but is evidence of lawfully seeking a redress of Grievances under the First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting thefree exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

Mr. Davidson is using The Florida Bar complaint process to violate my First Amendment rights,and therefore my civil rights. So here we go again with another attorney engaged in political

persecution of me for lawfully seeking redress and working peacefully within the system.

Likewise, my “urgent appeal” to the United Nations October 25, 2013 was completely justified.

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was served notice of a constitutional challenge to a statute pursuant to Rule 5.1, F.R.C.P., and Title 28 U.S.C. § 2403. Here, Mr. Davidson appears to becomplaining that I followed the law, or that my compliance with law is somehow untoward.

On information and belief, Mr. Davidson violated,

RULE 4-3.1 MERITORIOUS CLAIMS AND CONTENTIONSA lawyer shall not bring or defend a proceeding, or assert or controvert an issue therein, unlessthere is a basis in law and fact for doing so that is not frivolous, which includes a good faithargument for an extension, modification, or reversal of existing law.

RULE 4-3.3 CANDOR TOWARD THE TRIBUNAL(a) False Evidence; Duty to Disclose. A lawyer shall not knowingly:(1) make a false statement of fact or law to a tribunal or fail to correct a false statement of material fact or law previously made to the tribunal by the lawyer;(4) offer evidence that the lawyer knows to be false.

RULE 4-3.4 FAIRNESS TO OPPOSING PARTY AND COUNSELA lawyer shall not:(b) fabricate evidence,

RULE 4-3.5 IMPARTIALITY AND DECORUM OF THE TRIBUNAL(a) Influencing Decision Maker. A lawyer shall not seek to influence a judge, juror, prospective

juror, or other decision maker except as permitted by law or the rules of court.




RULE 4-4.1 TRUTHFULNESS IN STATEMENTS TO OTHERSIn the course of representing a client a lawyer shall not knowingly:(a) make a false statement of material fact or law to a third person; or

Attorney is an officer of the court and an essential component of the administration of justice, and, as such, his conduct is subject to judicial supervision and scrutiny.State ex rel. Florida Bar v. Evans, 94 So.2d 730 (1957).

As an attorney, Mr. Davidson must comply with the Rules of Professional Conduct,including candor before the tribunal, as described in the Florida Bar InformationalPacket, Candor Before The Tribunal. “The lawyer's duty not to assist witnesses, including thelawyer's own client, in offering false evidence stems from the Rules of Professional Conduct,Florida statutes, and caselaw.”

Rule 4-1.2(d) prohibits the lawyer from assisting a client in conduct that the lawyer knows or reasonably should know is criminal or fraudulent.

Rule 4-3.4(b) prohibits a lawyer from fabricating evidence or assisting a witness to testifyfalsely.

Rule 4-8.4(a) prohibits the lawyer from violating the Rules of Professional Conduct or knowingly assisting another to do so.

Rule 4-8.4(b) prohibits a lawyer from committing a criminal act that reflects adversely onthe lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer.

Rule 4-8.4(c) prohibits a lawyer from engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud,deceit, or misrepresentation.

Rule 4-8.4(d) prohibits a lawyer from engaging in conduct that is prejudicial to theadministration of justice.

Rule 4-1.6(b) requires a lawyer to reveal information to the extent the lawyer reasonably believes necessary to prevent a client from committing a crime.

Rule 4-3.3(a)(2), requires a lawyer to reveal a material fact to the tribunal when disclosure isnecessary to avoid assisting a criminal or fraudulent act by the client, and 4-3.3(a)(4) prohibits alawyer from offering false evidence and requires the lawyer to take reasonable remedialmeasures when false material evidence has been offered.

Rule 4-1.16 prohibits a lawyer from representing a client if the representation will resultin a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct or law and permits the lawyer to withdrawfrom representation if the client persists in a course of action that the lawyer reasonably believesis criminal or fraudulent or repugnant or imprudent. Rule 4-1.16(c) recognizes that




notwithstanding good cause for terminating representation of a client, a lawyer is obliged tocontinue representation if so ordered by a tribunal.

Florida caselaw prohibits lawyers from presenting false testimony or evidence. Kneale v.Williams, 30 So. 2d 284 (Fla. 1947), states that perpetration of a fraud is outside the scope of the

professional duty of an attorney and no privilege attaches to communication between an attorneyand a client with respect to transactions constituting the making of a false claim or the

perpetration of a fraud. Dodd v. The Florida Bar, 118 So. 2d 17 (Fla. 1960), reminds us that "thecourts are . . . dependent on members of the bar to . . . present the true facts of each cause . . . toenable the judge or the jury to [decide the facts] to which the law may be applied. When anattorney . . . allows false testimony . . . [the attorney] . . . makes it impossible for the scales [of

justice] to balance." See The Fla. Bar v. Agar, 394 So. 2d 405 (Fla. 1981), and The Fla. Bar v.Simons, 391 So. 2d 684 (Fla. 1980). To permit or assist a client or other witness to testify falselyis prohibited by F.S. § 837.02 which makes perjury in an official proceeding a felony, and

by F.S. § 777.011 which proscribes aiding, abetting, or counseling commission of a felony.

Mr. Davidson has falsely accused me of,


in Petition No. 13-7280. President Cater and the United Nations are not parties. Mr. Davidson isguilty as set forth herein.

One of the considerations Bar Counsel must weigh in deciding whether to proceed further toseek disciplinary measures is the weight of the available evidence. Here, Davidson said I



If the Bar seeks to discipline the lawyer, it is required by Supreme Court ruling to show, by"clear and convincing" evidence that there has been a violation of one or more of the RulesRegulating The Florida Bar. Here, Davidson said I,


in Petition No. 13-7280. President Cater and the United Nations are not parties. Clear andconvincing evidence has been defined as "evidence so clear, direct and weighty and convincingas to enable [the factfinder] to come to a clear conviction, without hesitancy, of the truth of the

precise facts in issue." Here, Davidson said I,




Theodore P Littlewood Jr., Bar Counsel January 14, 2014Attorney Consumer Assistance Program Page - 5

in Petition No. 13-7280. President Cater and the United Nations are not parties. This burden oproof is heavier than the burden o proo required in an ordinary civil trial. That burden is methere because Mr. Davidson said I,

named as apparent parties Former President Jimmy Carter and the United Nations


Mr. Davidson should be found guilty o misconduct, and permanently disbarred from thepractice o law, s Florida Standards For Applying Lawyer Discipline, Standard 6.11.

Under penalties o perjury, I declare that the foregoing facts are true, correct and complete.

Re: Complaint by Neil J. Gillespie against Danielle Nicole Parsons The Florida Bar File No.: 2014..30,525 (9A)

Dear Ted:

As you know from my previous letter o December 20, 2013, my finn and I represent DanielleNicole Parsons and paralegal Yolanda I. Martinez in regard to the above referenced Complaintsubmitted by Neil J. Gillespie. The following constitutes the response on behalf o Ms.Parsons. As referenced in my previous letter and as discussed with you, a response on behalfo Ms. Martinez is properly due in regard to any UPL complaint lodged. In fact, on December24,2013, Branch UPL Counsel Ghunise Coaxum wrote Ms. Martinez regarding UPLinvestigation, Case No. 20143031(9A). A copy o Ms. Coaxum's letter is enclosed as isa copyofnlY response. I expect to respond to Ms. Coaxum's specific questions by mail today ortomorrow and will not further deal with Mr. Gillespie's complaints regarding Ms. Martinez inthis response.

Reducing Mr. Gillespie's 23 page complaint to its essence, he is complaining about severalscriveners errors related to the foreclosure complaint filed against him and others. 1 While

1 The claims o Mr. Gillespie relating to conduct in the Federal Actionhe created by removingthe foreclosure are also without merit. He cOlnplains that Ms. Parsons misrepresented the date that hehad filed his motion to dismiss by two days, February 6, 2013 instead o February 4, 2013. Noprejudice is shown for the misunderstanding by Ms. r s o n s ~ The claimo ex parte cOlnn1unication byFederal Judicial Officers is particularly inappropriate because it is based on a purportedmisunderstanding o the Federal CM ECF filing procedures and then belied by Mr. Gillespie in hissubsequent discussion in which it is obvious he understands the system-See Section VI o his Barcomplaint.





HUNTON&WIlLI MS

January 8, 2014Page 3

In conclusion, while the scriveners errors discussed were certainly not appropriate, theyunmistakably caused no prejudice whatsoever to Mr. Gillespie in the foreclosure action andcertainly do not constitute violation of the Bar Rules Governing Attorney conduct. This mattershould be dismissed. f course, I am available for any questions you may have.

The Certificate of Disclosure signed y Ms. Parson will be forwarded to you directly by Ms.Parsons.

Cordially yours,

Barry R. Davidson
