IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 11TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA

Case No.: Plaintiff, -vs.Division:

Defendants.

MOTION FOR SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT AND FOR REFUND OF OVERPAYMENT OF JUDGMENT

The Defendants in the above case requests that the Court issue an order in this action acknowledging that the Judgment has been satisfied pursuant to Fl R. CP RULE 1.540. (b) (5) based on one of the reasons set forth below; that the court further stay the Plaintiffs unauthorized counsel from taking any further steps to execute the judgment fraudulently obtained, pursuant to Fl R CP 1.550 (b), because Defendants have just learned that as of December 20, 2011, the Plaintiff, Guy informed the Defendant that he was in possession of the premises commonly known as the OFG Palmetto Property, and collected rents from L;[ ], FA., was paid in full, the amount paid to its attorneys, Shapiro and Fishman, were

paid in full, and the case should have been dismissed at that time; and thereafter, the attorneys, Akerman Senterfitt unlawfully continued without any authority from Washington Mutual Bank, FA or, its successor (by operation of law), JP Morgan Bank, to proceed and obtain a judgment against the Defendants utilizing a fraudulent affidavit, a forged promissory note, and misrepresented to the Floridas Third District Court of Page 1

Appeals, that Washington Mutual Bank, FA still had the right to recover on the forged note because it had been lost, then found in the possession of Plaintiff, Washington Mutual Bank, FA. Because the case should have been dismissed at that time, because Akerman Senterfitt argued to the Court of Appeals that Washington Mutual Bank, FA is the ONLY entity entitled to recover on the note; and Washington Mutual Bank, FA (now JP Morgan Chase; because Shapiro and Fishman, the only authorized attorneys for Washington Mutual Bank, FA and all court costs were paid in full by Defendants mortgage payment, and because Akerman Senterfitt simply associated in, and did not substitute in as counsel, did not obtain the consent of Washington Mutual Bank, FA to continue the case in its name; because Akerman Senterfitt should not have continued the case in its name; Washington Mutual Bank, FA and Chase all concede that the judgment is paid in full, and do not want any more money; and Akerman Senterfitt cannot enhance the expenses owed to the Plaintiff by merely tacking on unnecessary or unauthorized expenses, the court should order the judgment amended, and satisfied. See Section 701.04 et. Seq. and Knack Holdings, LLC v. Stuart Kalb Trustee, 3D08-1466, 3rd DCA, (2009). As creative and flexible as we may wish to allow contracting, private parties to be in their agreements, those parties do not have the right to use judgments as another form of mortgage; only the court that issued a judgment may approve what sums are included in, and enforceable under, such an instrument. In this case, as in the case cited, the Plaintiffs admit that no one other than Washington Mutual Bank, FA is entitled to collect on the note, and thus the court cannot authorize the inclusion of RFC Homecomings or their lawyers, Akerman Senterfitt, and their unauthorized continuation of the action as a part of the judgment debt.

ARGUMENT Attached are receipts and other documentation that shows the Judgment solely in favor of Washington Mutual Bank, FA., received payment in full and the above claim has been satisfied in full as of April 19, 2005, and, as Defendants have contended all along, the sale occurred on March 25, 2005. According to the records provided directly from Washington Mutual Bank, FA, the records and logs are clear that the loan was sold PRIOR to suit being instituted against the Defendants by Plaintiffs. There simply is, and was never any standing to file this action. Defendants have provided proof to the courts, and argued that the Plaintiffs counsel, Akerman Senterfitt, committed fraud throughout the entire case, and provided the court with over 150 pages of clear and convincing proof in its motion to set aside judgment on the basis of fraud, that is referred to and incorporated herein, as though set forth in full, that the following occurred. 1. That according to the affidavit prepared and filed by Kimberly A. Leary (who is

currently under investigation by the State Bar for committing fraud in this case), on March 25, 2005, prior to the action being filed by Shapiro and Fishman, the loan which was the subject of this action was sold to RFC Homecomings. The effect of this fact is that Washington Mutual Bank, FA had no standing to file suit. 2. The loan was sold, and servicing was transferred to Litton Loan Servicing for

RFC Homecomings, NOT Washington Mutual Bank, FA. Akerman Senterfitt, Leary and Heller, even lied about this fact during the hearing on her motion to deprive the Page 3

Defendants of their insurance proceeds after the home was severely damaged by the hurricane and give them to Litton Loan Servicing. She had the audacity to put in her motion the bald face lie that Litton Loan Servicing was servicing the loan for Washington Mutual Bank, FA. She was almost successful, but the court did put the funds into the courts account, and we had to make motions to release the funds to pay the contractors. 2. That the complaint alleges the note was lost, but simultaneously attaches a

certified copy of a note that did not exist. This impossibility is a fraud on the court and currently under investigation by the Florida Bar and the Florida Attorney Generals office. 3. That in order for Plaintiffs counsel to commit fraud on the court and obtain a

summary judgment, Plaintiffs counsel filed a forged promissory note that does not match the purported certified copy of the note that was originally filed by Shapiro Fishman. 4. That the motion for summary judgment filed by Akerman Senterfitt falsely

alleged that Washington Mutual Bank, FA was entitled to, and sought and obtained a judgment against the Defendants solely in favor of Washington Mutual Bank, FA. 5. That the Plaintiffs lawyer Akerman Senterfitt Attorney, Nancy M. Wallaces

Answer Brief, filed on behalf of Washington Mutual Bank in the Eskanoses Appeal of the Summary Judgment in this matter. Ms. Wallace stated: Because the original note was lost on the date the complaint was filed, Washington Mutual could not deliver it to RFC and, thus, could not legally transfer it to RFC. Washington Mutual held the original note, even though it could not be located. RFC could not have filed the foreclosure action because the delivery of the original note had not occurred. The note never was delivered to RFC. When Washington Mutual located the original note in storage, it filed it with the circuit court so an effective transfer of the note to RFC did not occur. No entity other than Washington Mutual ever held the note. As the only entity entitled to Page 4

enforce it, Washington Mutual had standing to bring this action. (See: Answer Brief of Washington Mutual Bank, Inc., Ami Eskanos, et al, Appellants, vs. Washington Mutual Bank, FA, Appellee, 3rd DCA Case No. 3D09-3392, Pg. 14) 6. That, on April 19, 2005, Washington Mutual Bank, FA was paid in full, and

deducted money from the last mortgage payment made to them by the Defendants to pay off its lawyers, Shapiro and Fishman for their filing foreclosure papers, paid the court costs, and closed their file, showing the balance paid in full. 7. That the CHASE bank fraud investigators reported on December 20, 2010, POST

SUMMARY JUDGMENT, POST APPEAL, POST HEARING ON DEFENDANTS MOTION FOR RELIEF BASED ON FRAUD, that instead of closing the case and dismissing the action as Shapiro and Fishman were obligated to, they transferred their files to Akerman Senterfitt, who without ANY authorization from Washington Mutual Bank, FA, unlawfully and without consent of anyone from Washington Mutual Bank, FA, continued the action in Washington Mutual Banks name. Akerman Senterfitt forged the promissory note, claiming that it still belongs to Washington Mutual Bank, FA, who admits without question, that they are paid in full, admit that as of March 25, 2010, sold the note to RFC Homecomings; admit that they have no interest whatsoever in the note; admit that they have been paid in full, including their attorneys fees and court costs, and do not employ, nor have they ever employed, Akerman Senterfitt; are NOT paying their legal fees or costs, nor have they paid their legal fees and costs; have NO retainer agreement with Akerman Senterfitt, nor do they have any arrangement to pay their fees or costs, either orally or written. 8. That the address Akerman Senterfitt, Leary and Heller, listed for Washington

Mutual Bank, FA, on the summary judgment is listed as 4828 Loop Central Drive, in Page 5

Houston Texas, is actually Litton Loan Servicing Address and no one there is authorized, expressly or impliedly, to accept and endorse any payment made by the Defendants on the judgment, on behalf of Washington Mutual Bank, FA, the sole judgment creditor. Further, Defendants have propounded the attached discovery to Washington Mutual Bank, FA seeking the name, Washington Mutual Bank, FAs address, telephone number, position, and proof of employment by Washington Mutual Bank, FA to whom payment could be made to satisfy the fraudulent judgment. 9. Defendants are seeking a stay of enforcement of any judgment of foreclosure until

such time as Akerman Senterfitt can provide the defendants with proof of the following facts: a. A retainer agreement entitling them to represent the Washington Mutual

Bank, FA, and collect the attorneys fees sought in this case; b. A name, telephone number, proof of employment at Washington Mutual

Bank, (including, but not limited to, (paycheck, business card, written or other authorization by an officer of Washington Mutual Bank, FA to sign releases on behalf of Washington Mutual Bank, FA), or any kind of admissible proof that they are an authorized employee of Washington Mutual Bank, FA who is authorized to accept payment on this judgment; provide a sworn acknowledgment of satisfaction of judgment and notarized documentation releasing any liens. c. All documents, including but not limited to, any lease, real estate title, or

any written proof that Washington Mutual Bank, FA is licensed to do business, or is doing business at 4828 Loop Central Drive, Houston, TX 77081-2166.

Page 6

d.

All documents, including but not limited to, any written authorization by

Washington Mutual Bank, FA is entitled to execute or endorse any payment made on this judgment, whether it be by the Defendants, or, if the foreclosure were allowed to proceed, proof that Litton Loan Servicing is authorized to endorse payment made to it by the clerk of the court on behalf of Washington Mutual Bank, FA. e. The address and name of bank where any account is held by Washington

Mutual Bank, FA, and a copy of the signature card, proving and authorizing the person accepting payment on behalf of Washington Mutual Bank, FA to be entitled to deposit those sums, including the bank account number, address of the bank, and telephone number of the bank. f. Full, complete and HONEST, responses, under oath, to the post judgment

discovery propounded by the Defendants on December 20th and 21st. 10. The Defendants are seeking this vital information because the Plaintiff,

Washington Mutual Bank, FA was dissolved on September 25, 2008, Washington Mutual Bank was acquired by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and by operation of law all assets in the possession of Washington Mutual Bank, FA were transferred to JP Morgan Chase. The Plaintiffs lawyers have lied to the Court of Appeals when they told the Court of Appeals that Washington Mutual Bank, FA held the forged note and were entitled to collect on it. Washington Mutual Bank, FA does not exist; the address given for Washington Mutual Bank, FA is not Washington Mutual Bank, FAs address. They do not do business there; there is no one there legally permitted to execute a release of the liens filed by Shapiro and Fishman; there is no one at that address legally authorized to accept payment on behalf of Washington Mutual Bank, FA. There is no one at

Page 7

Washington Mutual Bank, FA, now JP Morgan Chase, who can accept payment on behalf of Washington Mutual Bank, FA, because they were paid in full in April of 2005, including all attorneys fees and court costs. 11. That Akerman Senterfitts real client, RFC Homecomings is not, nor has it ever

been, a party to this action because if a motion is made by Akerman Senterfitt to assign the forged note; assign this action; or makes any request to this court transfer the assets to RFC Homecomings; Akerman and Senterfitt would be admitting that the pleadings it filed with the court; the representations it made to the court; and the affidavits it prepared on behalf of its client, Litton Loan Servicing, Debra Lyman, was either a bald face lie, defrauding this court, or they simply had no standing to pursue the action. 12. The courts to date have had more than ample opportunity to undo the fraud

perpetrated by the Plaintiffs in this case, and have refused to do so. Now, the court has granted a summary judgment to an entity that does not exist, has failed to set aside that judgment for fraud, and no employee of Washington Mutual Bank, FA exists to either receive the funds (either by payment of the Defendants, or satisfaction via an unlawful sale of the Defendants home), deposit them into an Washington Mutual Bank, FA, account, and clear the title of the Defendants. Furthermore, Washington Mutual Bank, FAs (now Chase) own fraud division has attempted without success to contact the Plaintiffs lawyers in order to discharge them and demand dismissal of the complaint, or obtain a satisfactory explanation why Akerman Senterfitt is using a forged promissory note and fraudulent affidavits to pursue a foreclosure action in their name, when they are paid in full.

13.

Filed herewith, and incorporated herein, is the Defendants motion to disqualify

Akerman Senterfitt from continuing to represent Washington Mutual Bank, FA. 14. Defendants respectfully request the court stay any further attempts to execute on

this fraudulently obtained judgment until such time as the Court obtains proof that: a. Defendants obtain sworn proof via pending discovery requests, that the

law firm, Akerman Senterfitt was NEVER retained by Washington Mutual Bank, FA and thus never entitled to ask for fees in this action; b. Was never authorized by Washington Mutual Bank, FA to continue the

lawsuit under Washington Mutual Bank, FAs name after Washington Mutual Bank, FA was paid in full; c. The court accepts the fact that the promissory note it filed by Akerman

Senterfitt, Leary and Heller with the court was a forgery; d. Defendants can prove Akerman Senterfitt lied on the Summary Judgment

when it stated that its purported client, Washington Mutual Bank, FA, has an employee at 4828 Loop Central Drive, Houston, TX 77081-2166 who is authorized to accept payment on the judgment, either from the Defendants or from the clerk of the court as a result of the unlawful sale of the Defendants home; e. The action be stayed until the completion of the investigation of Kimberly

Leary by the Florida Bar for defrauding the court, filing false and misleading arguments and pleadings in this action; and for filing a forged promissory note. e. That the action be stayed until JP Morgan Chase is able to obtain a

voluntary dismissal of this action from the law firm of Akerman Senterfitt. JP Morgan

Page 9

Chase calls to Akerman Senterfitt during the course of their investigation have gone unreturned. 14. Defendants would suffer irreparable harm if the Plaintiffs unauthorized lawyers

are entitled to continue with their enforcement of this illegally obtained judgment. 15. Defendants refer to, and incorporate herein, its motion to set aside the Judgment

for fraud, and the Reply attached thereto. Attached to the reply is an affidavit which contains almost 150 pages of clear and convincing evidence that throughout these proceedings, Akerman Senterfitt, Leary and Heller have committed fraud on this court, and the Court of Appeals, and gotten away with it at every stage. This motion is seeking relief pursuant to Fl R CP 1.550 (b) Stay. The court before which an execution or other process based on a final judgment is returnable may stay such execution or other process and suspend proceedings thereon for good cause on motion and notice to all adverse parties. 16. What Akerman Senterfitt, Leary and Heller did NOT disclose to the court, is a

credit to the Defendants of $373,907.18 in the Lyman Affidavit. Akerman Senterfitt have told the Court of Appeals that the only entity entitled to this judgment is Washington Mutual Bank, FA. They lied to the court, and now, must acknowledge that as a result of their misleading the court, they must accept the consequence of crediting $373,907.18 in principal. That would mean that there was no money owed Washington Mutual Bank, FA, as alleged. Attached are receipts and other documentation that shows the Judgment solely in favor of Washington Mutual Bank, FA., received payment in full and the above claim has been satisfied in full as of April 19, 2005. No further money is owed thereafter, as Akerman Senterfitt, Heller and Leary

Page 10

were not authorized to begin, let alone, continue the action, as alleged by the Defendants from the outset. The Defendants have already involuntarily paid the legal fees for Shapiro and Fishmans and the court costs incurred at that time. The case should have been dismissed. Rogue attorneys without a retainer agreement and without authority to

continue the case are simply not entitled to recover any fees or costs. Wherefore, Defendants, for the foregoing reasons, respectfully request that this Court vacate the Courts previous Order of Final Summary Judgment granted to Plaintiff on October 29, 2009; and That the Court reconsider its denial of Defendants Combined Motion to Strike and Motion to Dismiss, and grant the Defendants Combined Motion to Strike and Dismiss, with a specific finding that the Plaintiffs Claims were substantially frivolous, knowingly advanced by Plaintiffs Counsel Kimberly A. Leary, William Heller, and the law firm of Akerman Senterfitt, without any basis in fact or law, but rather were pursued solely for malicious and vexatious purposes; and That the Court dismiss all of Plaintiffs claims against all of the Defendants, with prejudice, and without provision to amend its Complaint; and That the Court Grant the Defendants judgment for their costs and attorneys fees incurred in defending this matter, including the costs and attorneys fees for the Defendants Appeal of the Courts previous Orders; and That the Plaintiffs Counsel, the law firm of Akerman & Senterfitt, and attorneys Kimberly A. Leary and William A. Heller, et al, jointly, be sanctioned by this Court pursuant to Florida Revised Statute 57.105 for their extreme, intentional and

Page 11

malicious fraud on the Court and upon the Eskanoses in their knowing continuation of wholly frivolous claims against the Defendants; and For any such other relief as to the Court may deem proper. Or, in the alternative, find that the judgment was paid in full on April 19, 2005, and no money was due and owing Washington Mutual Bank, FA at that time. That all legal fees and costs were paid in full at that time, and the action should be dismissed. Respectfully submitted this 17th day of December, 2010 by:

DEFENDANTS BARRY B. ESKANOSS DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS MOTION FOR SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT

I, Barry B. Eskanos, Declare as follows: 1. Attached hereto, and incorporated herein, are internal computerized loan

statements from Washington Mutual Bank, FA, which state that the loan was sold on March 25, 2005, and pursuant to the terms of that agreement, was paid in full on or about April 19, 2005. 2. Thereafter, Washington Mutual Bank, FA paid their attorneys Shapiro and

Fishman their full legal fees and court costs out of the balance of a mortgage payment made by the Defendants to Washington Mutual Bank, FA in or about April of 2005. 3. The remaining portion of the mortgage overpayment was returned by Washington

Mutual Bank, FA, who had been paid in full, to the Defendants via Litton Loan Servicing, but, because it was uncollected, was escheated to the State of Florida in the amount of $1,065.76.

Page 15

. 4. All relevant loans and assets belonging to Washington Mutual Bank, FA were

transferred by operation of law to JP Morgan Chase, on September 25, 2008, who also disavows any claim, right or title to the money purportedly owed by the Defendants in this matter and their records show payment is in full. 5. Attached hereto, and incorporated herein are the internal computer records

showing that the attorneys fees and court costs were paid in full. 6. In addition to the records provided by Washington Mutual Bank, FA, even the

successor bank employees all unequivocally state that the loan is paid in full. JP MORGAN CHASE EMPLOYEES 1. PAM CORRELL FRAUD INVESTIGATOR FOR JP MORGAN CHASE On December 16, 2010, I had an extensive discussion with Pam Correll, (866) 605-9253, who is the one of the fraud investigators for JP Morgan Chase, in regards to the current status of the investigation of our fraud complaint. Who stated unequivocally JP Morgan Chase had no interest in recovering any money from the Defendants and do not want to pursue the foreclosure against Defendants and show they are paid in full, including the attorneys fees for Shapiro and Fishman. Nothing is owed further from the Defendants. We have scheduled her deposition for January 31, 2011. 2. NORMA E. ARTILES FRAUD INVESTIGATOR FOR JP MORGAN

COMPLAINT On November 23, 2010, I had an extensive discussion with Donald P. Zarrella, (866) 605-9253, who is the one of the fraud investigators for JP Morgan Chase, in regards to the current status of the investigation of our fraud complaint.

MORGAN CHASE. Chase Quality Assurance, 10151 Deerwood Park Blvd, Building 300, Jacksonville, FL 32256, 888-289-6037. Washington Mutual Bank, FA and its successor, nothing is owed further from the Defendants. JP Morgan Chase, the successor to Washington Mutual Bank, FA via the bulk transfer of all assets to JP Morgan Chase. Nothing is owed to JP Morgan Chase. The loan is paid in full and their file is closed. We have scheduled her deposition for January 31, 2011. 5. KOURTNEE L. GIBSON CHASE BACK OFFICE TEAM

Page 17

On October 7, 2010, I had an extensive discussion with Kourtnee Gibson, (614) 422-4450, who is the one of the back office investigators for JP Morgan Chase, in regards to the current status of the investigation of our fraud complaint. Who stated unequivocally JP Morgan Chase had no interest in recovering any money from the Defendants and JP Morgan Chase on their behalf or Washington Mutual Bank, FA, did not want to pursue the foreclosure against Defendants. She said she was referring my correspondence to the legal team for investigation. Nothing is owed further from the Defendants. Their records reflect that the loan was paid in full back in April of 2005, including all attorneys fees and court costs. JP Morgan Chase is not seeking any further funds on behalf of themselves or Washington Mutual Bank, FA, the dissolved company. We have scheduled her deposition for January 31, 2011. 6. Pursuant to claims made by Plaintiffs to the Court of Appeals, and even

sometimes to the lower court, Washington Mutual Bank, FA claims to be the sole entity entitled to judgment, but they were already paid in full prior to Akerman Senterfitt becoming involved. Defendants, throughout this proceeding, have been adamant about these facts, and now Akerman Senterfitt, Leary and Heller, have painted themselves into a corner that no lie or fraud can allow them to escape. The fraudulently obtained judgment is solely in the name of Washington Mutual Bank, FA; a dissolved entity. There never was standing to institute this suit. There is no one who is legally authorized to execute any agreement, accept payment or to whom the judgment can be satisfied without fraudulently endorsing payment. Finally, there are no bank accounts, no place to store documents, and certainly no place to maintain possession of a promissory note
