IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE -------------------------------------------------------------------------x In re: NEW CENTURY TRS HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware Corporation, et al., 1 Debtors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------x OMNIBUS REPLY OF THE NEW CENTURY LIQUIDATING TRUST TO OBJECTIONS TO MOTION FOR ENTRY OF AN ORDER AUTHORIZING THE IMMEDIATE ABANDONMENT AND DESTRUCTION OF CERTAIN MORTGAGE LOAN FILES AND NON-MORTGAGE LOAN BUSINESS FILES Alan M. Jacobs, in his capacity as Liquidating Trustee (the Trustee) to the New Century Liquidating Trust (the Trust), by and through his undersigned counsel, hereby files this omnibus reply (the Reply) to the objections (collectively, the Objections)2 Chapter 11 Case No. 07-10416 (KJC) Jointly Administered Re: D.I. 11067

Objections have been filed by Lina Cruz (Cruz) [D.I. 11069], Ann Marie DiLibero (DiLibero) [D.I. 11070], William Hobin (Hobin) [D.I. 11071], Mark Zelazny (Zelazny) [D.I. 11072], Daneford Michael Wright (Wright) [D.I. 11073], Christian Purfield (Purfield) [D.I. 11074], El Veasta Lampley (Lampley) [D.I. 11075], Leslie Marks (Marks) [D.I. 11076], Helen Galope (Galope) [D.I. 11077 & D.I. 11079], Kimberly Cromwell & Karan Russell (Cromwell and Russell) [D.I. 11078], Molly S.

130566.01600/40205775v.1

interposed to the Motion of the New Century Liquidating Trust for an Order Authorizing the Immediate Abandonment and Destruction of Certain Mortgage Loan Files and Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files [D.I. 11067] (the Destruction Motion),3 and respectfully states as follows: REPLY 1. The Trust has been in existence since the occurrence of the Original Effective Since the Original Effective Date, in

Date nearly four and one-half (4 ) years ago.

accordance with the terms of the Modified Confirmation Order, the Trustee has maintained all documents turned over to the Trust by the Debtors, as well as all documents generated during the pendency of these chapter 11 cases (the Chapter 11 Cases). Given the

advanced stage of these Chapter 11 Cases and the relatively few issues remaining to be resolved, the Trustee is determined to take all steps necessary to ensure the expeditious closure of these Chapter 11 Cases. As part of the process of winding down the Trust, the Trustee has determined that the Trustee must begin the process of abandoning and destroying certain of the documents in its possession, the first of which are very narrow categories of documents which have no value to the Trust and are not necessary to the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases. In that vein, the Trustee filed the Destruction Motion seeking authority to destroy only (i) the Pre-2000 Loan Files, (ii) the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files, (iii) the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files, and (iv) the Post-Petition Files. While the Destruction Motion stands on its own, the Trust files this Reply to refute various inaccurate factual and legal assertions set forth in the Objections. 2. The Objections assert two (2) primary grounds in support of their arguments

in opposition to the Destruction Motion. First, the Objectors argue that the Trustee should

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Destruction Motion.

2
130566.01600/40205775v.1

not be authorized to destroy any documentation related to the Mortgage Loans originated by the Debtors to the Objectors. Second, few of the Objectors argue that the Trustee should not be authorized to destroy any documents, as the the Objectors are under the mistaken belief that the documents in the Trusts possession may be necessary in the context of ongoing or future litigations or potential investigations. For the reasons set forth below, the Objections should be overruled, and the Destruction Motion should be granted. I. The Court Should Authorize the Abandonment of the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files 3. The majority of the Objectors primary concern is the preservation of any and

all documentation related to the Mortgage Loans originated by the Debtors to the Objectors themselves. As an initial matter, it should be noted that each of the Objectors Mortgage Loans were originated by the Debtors after 2000.4 Accordingly, despite anything the

Objectors argue to the contrary, the Objections should not be construed as opposing the Trustees request to abandon and destroy the Pre-2000 Loan Files. 4. The Objections that oppose the Trustees request to abandon and destroy the

Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files are based on the mistaken belief that the Trustee is seeking authority to abandon and destroy the only copies of the Loan Files related to their respective Mortgage Loans. See, e.g., Objections of Cruz, DiLibero, Hobin, and Zelanzy, 7-9; Objection of Simms, 3-5; Objection of Wright, p. 1. The Objectors misconstrue the relief requested. As set forth in the Destruction Motion, with respect to the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files, the Trustee seeks authority to abandon and destroy the associated hard copy Loan Files, but only if and to the extent the Trustee maintains an imaged copy

The Trusts books and records reflect that each of the Mortgage Loans originated by the Debtors for the Objectors were originated after 2000.

3
130566.01600/40205775v.1

of such Loan Files. In other words, if the Trustee does not have an imaged copy of a Post2004 Duplicate Loan File, the Trustee is not seeking authority to abandon such files. On the other hand, if the Trustee has an imaged copy of a Post-2004 Duplicate Loan File, the Trustee, by the Destruction Motion, seeks authority to abandon such files. 5. Since filing the Destruction Motion, the Trustee has received various

responses from interested parties, including the Objectors and several parties who have served upon the Trust duly issued subpoenas for production of documents (collectively, the Subpoena Parties). As the result of negotiations with those interested parties, however, the Trustee has modified his request with respect to the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files and now seeks authority to abandon such Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files, but is not seeking authority to immediately destroy such Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files at this time. Specifically, after negotiations with the Subpoena Parties, the Trustee has reached an agreement with the Subpoena Parties whereby the Trustee will request authority to abandon the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files, but will continue to maintain such Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files at the Subpoena Parties sole cost and expense.5 Accordingly, while the Trustee now seeks authority to abandon the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files (subject to the terms and conditions of the Revised Proposed Order), the Trustee will not destroy any such Post2004 Duplicate Loan Files until such time as the Subpoena Parties no longer subsidize the cost of storage of the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files. At such time, the Trustee will only destroy the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files after providing the Objectors (and any other

The Subpoena Parties have agreed to reimburse the Trust for all expenses incurred in connection with the continued maintenance of the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files, as well as any hard copy underwriting guidelines, matrices and similar documentation. Given that the Trustee has reached an agreement with the Subpoena Parties with respect to the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files and the maintenance of other hard copy materials, the Trustee intends to submit a revised proposed order (the Revised Proposed Order) consistent with the agreement of the parties.

4
130566.01600/40205775v.1

parties who have formally or informally responded to the Destruction Motion) with notice and an opportunity to assume the costs associated with the retention of the files. As a result, the Trustee will maintain any and all documents related to Mortgage Loans originated and/or serviced after 2004, including hard copy Loan Files and all documents related thereto, until such time as the Trustee notifies the Objectors in accordance with the terms of the Revised Proposed Order. Therefore, the Objections to the destruction of the hard copy Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files should be overruled, as the Trustee agrees to continue to maintain such documents and will not destroy such documents unless and until the Trustee notifies interested parties, including the Objectors, of the Trustees intent to destroy the Post-2004 Duplicate Loan Files and gives them the opportunity to assume the retention costs. 6. Certain of the Objections also appear to be based on the mistaken belief that

the Trust maintains original copies of their Loan Files. See, e.g., Objection of Wright, p. 1; Objection of Simms, 3; Objection of the Whites, 24, 31. Again, the Objectors

misinterpret the explanations set forth in the Destruction Motion concerning the relief requested. Specifically, as set forth in the Destruction Motion, the documents in the Trusts possession concerning or relating to borrowers Mortgage Loans are not original documents. Rather, it was the Debtors practice in the ordinary course to deliver the original Loan Files for each Mortgage Loan originated or serviced by the Debtors to the applicable Securitization Trusts, third party purchaser, or servicer. The hard copy Loan Files in the Trusts possession, therefore, are duplicate or branch copies of Loan Files, the original copies of which have long since been transferred to third parties. Accordingly, the

5
130566.01600/40205775v.1

Objections based on the mistaken belief that the Trust maintains original copies of Loan Files should be overruled as having no basis in fact. 7. Notwithstanding the Trustees position that the Objections should be

overruled, to the extent the Trustee has not previously provided copies of documents relating to each respective Objectors Mortgage Loans, as an accommodation to such Objectors, the Trustee is willing to make a reasonable and diligent search for documents related to the Objectors Mortgage Loans where such documents reasonably would be expected to be found and produce such documents to the Objectors on an individual basis. The Trustee notes, however, that the Trust has already provided documents in its possession concerning or relating to the Mortgage Loans of Purfield,6 Cromwell, and Russell,7 and the Trustee does not intend to re-produce such documents. As the Objections are based upon a misunderstanding of the relief requested and given that the Trustee is willing to produce such documents to the Objectors, the Objections should be overruled. II. The Trustee Should Be Authorized to Abandon and Destroy the Pre-2000 Loan Files, the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files, and the Post-Petition Files 8. The Objectors also challenge the relief requested on the basis that (i) they are

involved in litigation concerning Mortgage Loans allegedly originated and/or serviced by the Debtors prior to the Petition Date, see Objections of Cruz, DiLibero, Hobin, and Zelazny, 4; Objection of Cromwell and Russell, 2; Objection of Marks, 5; Objection of Lampley, p. 3; Objection of Wright, p. 1, Objection of the Whites, 32; or (ii) the Objectors
6

See Order Denying Christian W. Purfields Emergency Motion Without Prejudice [D.I. 10827, 4/5/12], pursuant to which the Trustee agreed to provide Purfield with a copy of his Loan File. As the Court is aware, an evidentiary hearing to consider the threshold issue of whether Cromwell and Russell should be permitted to file a late claim in these Chapter 11 Cases was conducted on May 23, 2012 and, with respect to Russell only, was completed on July 12, 2012. Prior to the evidentiary hearings, the Trustee provided all documents (including copies of their respective Loan Files) in its possession concerning or relating to the Mortgage Loans originated by the Debtors to both Cromwell and Russell.

6
130566.01600/40205775v.1

believe such documents may be relevant to some future litigation or investigation by a governmental authority. See Objection of Lampley, p. 2; Objection of Cromwell and

Russell, 3; Objection of Marks, 6. As a result of such ongoing litigation or potential litigation and/or potential investigations, the Objectors assert that the Trust should not be authorized to destroy any documents in its possession. Russell, 3; Objection of Marks, p. 1. 9. At the outset, it should be noted that, other than the few Objections which See Objection of Cromwell &

assert that there should be a blanket prohibition from destroying any documents, there have been no objections, formal or informal, to the destruction of the Pre-2000 Loan Files (as discussed infra) or the Post-Petition Files.8 The Objectors have not articulated a basis for prohibiting the destruction of the Pre-2000 Loan Files or the Post-Petition Files, and, as set forth more fully in the Destruction Motion, such files are not necessary to complete the administration of these Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Trustee submits that there is no dispute as to the Trustees request for authorization to abandon and destroy the Pre-2000 Loan Files and the Post-Petition Files. 10. With respect to the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files, certain of the

Objections assert that the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files may contain evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the Debtors, and, as a result, such documents may be necessary in some future litigation. See, e.g., Objection of Cromwell & Russell, 3; Objection of Marks, p. 1; Objection of the Whites, . This argument, however, is based on nothing more than pure speculation and has no basis in fact. The Objectors argument is based on the mere

The Trustee acknowledges that the Whites Objection specifically objects to the destruction of the PostPetition Files. However, given the breadth of the Whites Objection, the Trustee believes the Whites Objection is more appropriately construed as an objection to the destruction of all documents.

7
130566.01600/40205775v.1

possibility that an essential document may be found within the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files for use in a hypothetical investigation to be commenced at some future time. Essentially, the Objectors would have the Trust maintain the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files for an indefinite time period,9 notwithstanding the fact that the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files have been maintained for nearly seven (7) years, and the Trust has had no recent requests for the production of the types of document contained in the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files. Moreover, in response to various (completed) investigations by the SEC and various other governmental bodies as well as the Examiner, the Trustee has produced an inordinate amount of documents and has complied fully with all such investigations. Any and all such investigations have long since concluded, and the

documents produced in accordance with those investigations are not the subject of this Motion. The Trustee should not be required to continue to maintain documents based on the Objectors erroneous understanding of the facts surrounding the various investigations that have been undertaken with respect to the Debtors operations. 11. Notwithstanding the Objectors arguments, in order to move these Chapter 11

Cases toward closure, the Trustee must begin the process of abandoning and destroying documents, including the very narrow categories of documents defined as Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files. As set forth in the Destruction Motion, the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files include, but are not limited to, accounting records, marketing and sales files, human resources files, personnel files, closed/settled litigation files, unfunded/rejected loan
9

The Trustee notes that the Whites Objection to the destruction of documents is inherently inconsistent with the Whites Objection to the Trusts Motion for an Order Extending the Trusts Termination Date Through and Including August 1, 2015 (the Trust Extension Motion). On the one hand, the Whites argue that the Trust should not be permitted to destroy documents. Yet, in their objection to the Trust Extension Motion, the Whites oppose the extension of the time period in which the Trustee may complete the administration of these Chapter 11 Cases, making no mention as to the fate of the documents which are the subject of the Destruction Motion.

130566.01600/40205775v.1

applications, and other general office and business records. The Trustee believes that the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files have no value to the Trust or any party,10 as they pertain to the Debtors operations, as distinct from the Debtors Mortgage Loan origination and servicing business. The Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files have not been the subject of any recent requests by any parties, including the Objectors, and the continued maintenance of such Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files constitutes a burden on the estate with no corresponding benefit to the Trust (or, for that matter, to any party). Finally, the Objectors have failed to explain how or why they might need to access the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files and how or why such files are relevant to their pending litigations. 12. The Trustee submits that the Trusts progress toward closure of the Chapter

11 Cases should not be hindered due to the speculative, unfounded belief that the NonMortgage Loan Business Files may contain documents of interest to the Objectors. Accordingly, the Destruction Motion should be granted, and the Court should authorize the immediate abandonment and destruction of the Non-Mortgage Loan Business Files in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Revised Proposed Order, as such authorization is a necessary step in completing the administration of the Trust. 13. Finally, consistent with the Trustees obligations under the terms of the

Modified Confirmation Order, the Trust has not destroyed any documents that were turned over by the Debtors or that have been generated during the pendency of these Chapter 11 Cases. As a result, many parties, including some of the Objectors, as well as the Subpoena

10

The Trustee vehemently disputes that the Destruction Motion is based upon a malicious attempt to destroy evidence to the detriment of the Objectors and other former borrowers of the Debtors. See, e.g., Objection of Marks, 8-10; Objection of Galope, p. 2-3.

9
130566.01600/40205775v.1

Parties,11 have utilized the Trust as a resource for the production of documents. However, it should be noted that the Trust is merely a secondary source for copies of documents which may be of interest to the Objectors (and other parties), and the Trustee maintains that any documents related to the Objectors individual Mortgage Loans are more appropriately sought from other parties, particularly the current owner or servicer of the Mortgage Loan. Nonetheless, as indicated above, to the extent the Trustee has not previously done so, the Trustee is willing to provide to the Objectors any documents in its possession concerning or relating to Mortgage Loans originated to the Objectors. Accordingly, the Objectors will not suffer any harm if the relief requested in the Destruction Motion (as modified by the Revised Proposed Order) is granted because the Trustee will turn over to the Objectors any and all documents concerning or related to their respective Mortgage Loans. As such, the

destruction of the files set forth in the Revised Proposed Order will not lead to any spoliation claims. Moreover, the Objections have not set forth any legitimate factual basis to challenge the Trustees request to abandon and destroy the Pre-2000 Loan Files, the NonMortgage Loan Business Files, or the Post-Petition Files. Accordingly, the Objections should be overruled. III. Service 14. The Objection of Marks alleges that the Destruction Motion was deliberately

not served upon any homeowners. See Objection of Marks, p. 2. The Trustee vehemently

11

The Trustee notes that the Trust has been served with several dozen duly issued subpoenas in recent years, and the Trustee has endeavored to comply with each subpoena consistent with his legal obligation to respond, notwithstanding the substantial cost and burden to the Trust in responding to such subpoenas. However, many of the documents sought pursuant to subpoenas are more appropriately sought from other parties. Accordingly, the Trust submits that, while the Trust will not disregard its legal obligation to respond to duly issued subpoenas, the Trust must be permitted to begin this process of abandoning and destroying documents, so that the Trust is in a position to close these Chapter 11 Cases as expeditiously as possible following the resolution of the remaining issues.

10
130566.01600/40205775v.1

disputes that service of the Motion was improper. In an effort to provide notice to each and every party who has expressed an interest in any of the Debtors records, the Trustee provided notice of the Motion to: (i) the pre-Original Effective Date Bankruptcy Rule 2002 list, (ii) the current Bankruptcy Rule 2002 list, (iii) any parties who have served duly issued subpoenas on the Trust or who provided the Trust with a do not destroy notice, and (iv) holders of disputed claims.12 Accordingly, Marks allegation that the

Trustee did not provide notice of the Destruction Motion to any former borrowers is simply false. Moreover, the Trustee submits that the notice that was provided was over-inclusive, as the Destruction Motion was noticed to many parties who likely did not have an interest in the Unnecessary Files. IV. Other Allegations 15. In addition to the objections to the relief requested in the Destruction Motion,

certain of the Objections assert various factual and legal allegations against the Debtors and the Trust. Notwithstanding the fact that such allegations are not proper in the context of a response to the Destruction Motion, for the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee vehemently refutes, denies, and disagrees with the balance of the allegations contained in the Objections, including, without limitation, the Objections of Lampley, Marks, Simms and Galope. Specifically, and without limiting the foregoing sentence, the Trustee denies (i) Lampleys allegation of bankruptcy fraud (see Objection of Lampley, p. 2), Marks allegations that she has claims in these Chapter 11 Cases (see Objection of Marks, 1), that

12

The Trustee notes that there are several former borrowers of the Debtors who hold disputed claims in these Chapter 11 Cases.

11
130566.01600/40205775v.1

she is entitled to sue the Debtors in California state court13 (see Objection of Marks, 9), or that she is entitled to attorneys' fees (see Objection of Marks, 22), Simms allegations that the Trust failed to respond to RESPA requests for information (see Objection of Simms, 6), Cromwell and Russells and the Whites allegations that the Trustees request to abandon and destroy the Unnecessary Files violates state and/or federal law (see Objection of Cromwell and Russell, 7-17; Objection of the Whites, 30-31), and the Whites allegations that the Trustee is engaged in some conspiracy to destroy evidence relevant to any ongoing litigations. [Remainder of page intentionally left blank]

The Trustee notes that this Court has reiterated on several different occasions and in several different Orders of the Court that Marks is not entitled to sue the Debtors in any court, other than to quiet title.

130566.01600/40205775v.1

WHEREFORE, the Trust respectfully requests that the Court overrule the Objections to the Destruction Motion, grant the relief requested in the Destruction Motion (as modified by the Revised Proposed Order), and grant such other and further relief as it deems just and proper.
