DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF JUDICIAL NOTICE
IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO STRIKE
By Melody Gillespie
1. I, Melody Gillespie, am a plaintiff in the above named case. This declaration is made in support
Of thc JUDICIAL NOTICE IN SUPPORT OF THE MOTION TO STRIKE.
2. I, Melody Gillespie has direct person knowledge of the following matters of fact and law.
3. Affiant is competent to testiSr if called upon, and willtestif,, if called upon, of the following
matters:
4. On or about November 29,2009, Plaintiffs and Defendant Hoffman attempted to reconcile
differences and come to agreements to live together peacefully and fulfill the agreement made for
the purchase of tlie property known as 1831 North Lime Street, Porterville, Plaintiffs believed all
parlies, which are the defendants and the Plaintiffs in the above named case, had reached an
agreement mediated by the elders of the church with both parlies. The defendants had led
l0
Plaintiffs to believe that the contract could be fulfilled by Plaintiffs bearing the costs of the split
11
of the propefty, then in return, defendants would properly ledger the account against the note
t2 signed by Plaintiff Courtney Gillespie, and Plaintiffs would pay off the account as agreed in the
IJ
contract signed by both Courlney Gillespie and Nicklas Hoffinan.
5. Immediately, within that same week, Plaintiffs went to the county, pulled up all the documents on
l4
the properly, and obtained forms to apply for the division of the property. Plaintiffs found out
l5 that the properly was under the Williamson Act and could not be divided immediately, and
certainly not without the help of Nickol Gerritsma, whose name is the only name as trustee, on
l6
the Grant Deed
t'l
6 . On or about December 1 5 , 2009 , Plaintiffs sent a letter to Ms. Geritsma, requesting her help in
18 the division of the property. Plaintiff s sent the letter, ceftified, return receipt, and received the
green receipt back, that Ms. Gerritsma had indeed received the letter. However, there was no
19
response from Ms. Gerritsma.
20
7 . On or about January 4,2010, Plaintiffs sent out a second request for her assistance with the
21 change in status of the property in order to make the property divisible.
8. On or about January J,2010, the, Nicklas Hoffman, in the name of WYSOCKI TRUST and
Nickol Genitsma filed an unlawful detainer action in an attempt to evict Plaintiffs from the
L)
property known as l83l North Lime Street, Porterville.
9. Defendants had hired a legal typing service to type, file and serve the complaint for unlawful
detainer. The defendants in the above named case were without an attorney when the complaint
25
was filed, but had an attorney at the tirne of trial.

10' The legaltyping service typed and filed the unlawful detainer forms in case number 138180
I
because Defendant Hoffman falsified the information in the complaint for the unlawful detainer,
2 including what was typed onto the THREE DAY NOTICE. In the first complaint filed on
J
January 1,2010, Plaintiffs admitted that the properly was bare land on the first page item #3, and
that Mr. Gillespie had been living on the property since August2004.in item #4. See
4
COMPLAINT-LTNLAWFUL DETAINER, incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forlh
5 and request rnandatory judicial notice of such. This is contradictory to the allegation made in
6
cross-complaint filed into the above named couft on Novemeber 19,2010 attached hereto, and
incorporated herein by reference as if fully set for1h. On page 3, Item #4, lines 1 1- 14 of
1
Defendant's cross-complaint, it states: "On or about Febru ary 2005, cross defendants Couftney
8 and Melody Gillespie, entered and took possession of approximately one and three quafters acres
o of the subject property and has since that time withheld possession of this occupied Property fro
cross-complaintant"
l0
11. On the arnended COMPLAINT FOR LTNLAWFUL DETAINER, item #3, was changed to state:
ll "1831 NORTH LIME STREET #A," and the term (Bare Land) was removed so it would appear
l2 to be a rental apaftment. See COMPLAINT FOR UNLAWFUL DETAINER, amended page one
incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth, and request mandatory judicial notice of.
_tJ
12. Because of Defendant Hoffman's misstatements and falsification of the complaint, in case
t4 number PCL 1 38 I 80, the defendants in the above named case failed to have the relief they
l5
wanted. See Exhibit 1, Complaint for unlawful detainer, incorporated herein by reference, as if
fully set fofth, and request for the court to take mandatory Judicial Notice of said document.
16
13. h Defendant's cross complaint, exhibit 5, incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth,
t/ defendants in the above named case, have submitted the many of the same misstatements to the
t8
couft in the cross complaint as was put forth in the unlawful detainer action of PCL 138180.
Some of the same exhibits that were submitted to the court in PCL 138180, during trial, have
19
been attached to llefendants cross complaint. Plaintiff s request judicial notice of the entire
20 cross-complaint submitted to the above named court.
14. The documents attached to Defendant's cross complaint are false, and altered documents, with
2l
the intent to lead the coutl to believe that the one contract with 2 pages and one attachment, is
22
actually 2 separate documents of some kind of proposed agreernent that there may be an option
-/. J for a purchase in the unknown future, and depending on that unknown, somehow, Plaintiffs
24
moved onto the property against the will of the true owners. The true and coruect copy of the
contract, which is 2 pages, in which Defendant Hoffman signs the second page, and has a one
25
page attachment showing the amoftization of the private financing is attached to the Defendants

of PCL 138180 answer. At no time did the Plaintiffs of the unlawful detainer object to the
attachments. Instead, Plaintiffs of PCL 138180 discussed the contract many times in the trial
transcript. See Defendant Gillespie's ANSWER-Unlawful Detainer, incorporated herein by
reference as if fully set fofih, and request mandatory Judicial Notice of such, and the attachments
to the answer. Melody Castillo and Melody Gillespie are the same. Mr. Hoffman knew Melody
for several years prior to Melody's marriage to Mr. Gillespie. The intent of the name differences
r.vas to make it look like Melody and Courtney Gillespie were business partners rather than
husband and wife, living in a home on the propefiy known as 183 I North Lime street, Porler"ville.
The intent was to clairn that Defendants in PCL 13 81 80 had a storage salvage yard business on
the property. When the ruling of Hon. Glade Roper was in favor of the defendants of PCL
138180, (the Plaintiffs in the above named case), Mr. Hoffman began sendingthe letters attached
to Plaintiffs' complaint for Injunction presented in the above named case incorporated herein by
reference as if fully set fofth, and request for mandatory judicial notice of such,
10
15. On several occasions within the trialtranscript, Defendant Hoffman, who was one of the plaintiffi
ll in PCL 13 8180, stated that the agreement was a land sales agreement and Defendant Hoffman di
not refer to it as an option to be exercised in the future at Hoffman's whim. See pages 8 line 17-
12
20; Page 9, Line 8-10; page 43,line2} thru26; on page 21 Lines 14- 26, Courtney Gillespie
IJ
testifies to the contract, without objection or being refuted by the other side, and his testimony
t4 continues through page 22,line 1-2; on page 44,line 1-5 Mr. Hoffman continues to testify; page
46, fine 26,page 4T lines l-26,page 48,lines 16-27,page 50,line 8-10 and line16-26;page 51,
t5
line l-2 and line 15-26;Page 52,line 1-13; page 53, lines 2-7. All sites mentioned herein, are
t6
incorporated by reference as if fully set forth, and request mandatory judicial notice of such. For
l7 the testimony that was not Mr. Hoffman's in the trial transcript of PCL I38 1 80, of the above
mention sites, the plaintiffs did not object, cross examine, contradict, or refute what was stated by
l8
witnesses other than Mr. Hoffman. It was accepted as true by both sides.
l9
16. This Declarant now requests comparison with the above referenced sites from the trial transcript
20 of PCL 138180 to Defendants' cross complaint in the above named case, attached here to, and
incorporated by reference, as if fully set forth, and request Mandatory Judicial notice of such. On
2l
page 3 of the cross complaint, item#4, item #5, page 6, item #11, page 8, item #18, cross
complainants clearly contradict previous testimony in the trial of PCL 138180'

LJ 17. On page 4, item #6, where cross-complaintant states: "Under the Installment Note (Exhibit C),
which had been prepared by cross-defendants and presented by cross-defendants, the cross-
defendants had proposed paying $600.00 per month at seven (7)percent interest, and did pay the
25
sum of $4800, but failed to take any material action to obtain the requisite sub-division approval

by either the cross-complaintant or the County of Tulare which led to the tender and delivery of a
check for full refund of the said sum paid, voidance of the proffered lnstallment Note (Exhibit
C) and terrnination of the negotiation for sale" which completely contradicts previous testimony
given by both Mr. Hoffinan and Mr. Gillespie in PCL 138180,
18. On page 26,line 1-11 of the trial transcript, Mr. Gillespie states, under oath: "Q. Did you believe
that you were signing a unilateral contract that could be discarded by one side at will? A. No, I
did not. Q. Did you fully believe that when the contract said that once you made a payment
that the private transfer of property rights would be transferred to you as a trustee? A. That
was his agreement" He wrote that up. I didn't write that and put that language in there. He wrote
it and signed it." This testimony was never refuted by the other side. The plaintiffs did not
object, cross examine on his statement, or contradict his statement.
19. On page 44,line 20-26, of the trial transcript, Mr. Hoffman states under oath: "At that time I
gave Mr. Gillespie a check for the full amount that he had paid for the eight months at $600 and
10
told him because we don't have an agreement on how the property is supposed to be split, that we
ll can't go through with it. So I attempted to return all of the payments. It was atthat time that he
said he wanted to go to the mediation that we agreed upon and I told him to go ahead and anange
t2
it." Mr. Hoffman testifies under oath that he offered to pay Mr. Gillespie back for only eight
13
months, when Mr. Gillespie had paid for a full year of payments, plus Mr. Hoffman's electric bill
t4 for the Hoffman household and Hoffman's radio station, and all of the work developing the
property. Mr. Hoffman testifies that Mr. Gillespie opted for mediation. See Mr. Gillespie's
l5
testimony on pages 2lthrough page26 of TrialTranscript of PCL 138180.
l6
20. On page 2 of the Defendant's cross-complaint, line 12-19, Defendant states: "And is entitled to
I1 possession of all real property and improvements thereon located in the County of Tulare, State ol
California commonly known as 1831 North Lime street, Porterville, California. . . " In the
l8
PCL138l80 Trial Transcript, on page 23line 18-26,page24line 1-26, Page25line 1-25 Mr.
19
Gillespie testifies to the coutl under oath of all the work he has done to improve the properly,
approximately $30,000 (thirfy thousand) dollars of work improving the property and building the
houses that Mr. Hoffman and his family now occupy. Mr. Hoffman has never compensated mr.
21
Gillespie for all the work he has done. Mr. Hoffman nor anyone of WYSOCKI TRUST ever
refuted Mr. Gillespie's testimony, never cross-examined his testimony about his work, or
z.) contradicted what Mr. Gillespie had to say. His testimony was accepted as true by both sides.
)A This Declarant can attest that Mr. Gillespie was indeed telling the truth. Neither Mr. Hoffman
nor anyone from WYSOCKI TRUST has ever compensated Mr. Gillespie for his work and his
expense in irnproving or developing the land, but have reap the benefit thereof. The failure of

compensation is unjust enrichment and peonage. The statement made on Page 2,line 12 thru 16
of the Defendant's cross-complaint is false and misleading. Also, on page 4,Item #6, line 12-25,
cross complaintant is careful about the wording used, and states: "and that cross-defendants
would not have to pay any cash money as a down payment..." This is worded this way to
purposely mislead the court. lt would be presumed that Mr. Gillespie supplied thirty thousand
dollars of work and improvements to the property that the crossplaintant has failed to
acknowledge. Mr. Gillespie is not the one who has defaulted on the agreement, Mr. Hoffman,
and Ms. Gerritsma have defaulted, and failed to perform their duty. Item #6 on page 4 and Item
#1 on page 2 are false and misleading statements.
21 . On page 5 Item 6 continued, cross-complaintant states: "At no time mentioned herein has any
land sales contract agreement been accepted by cross-complaintant". This is a false and
misleading statement contradicted by previous testimony. See #12 of this declaration,

incorporated herein by reference as iffully set forth.
10
22.Item #18 restates what is in item #6. Item #6 continues: "There has been no recording of any
ll land sales agreement wit the office of the Tulare County Recorder, nor has there been any change
in the real propefty tax status with the office of the Tulare Counry Assessor, nor has any "Deed of
l2
Trust" as contemplated by the offer "Installment Note Secured by Deed of Trust" (Exhibit C)
IJ
ever has been prepared or executed or delivered or accepted or recorded by any parlies ofthis
t4 action." This is a misleading statement according to the contract signed by Mr. Gillespie and Mr.
Hoffman, as trustee of WYSOCKI TRUST. See exhibits attached to ANSWER-UNLAWFUL
t5
DETAINER, incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth, and request mandatory judicial
l6
notice of. The first 2 sentences ofthe sales contract state: "Private transfer ofpropeffy rights
\l within the trust. Acceptance of the first payment verifies this transfer of property rights to
Courtney Gillespie" (rnisspelled in contract) and paragraph 3 states: "This is a private
l8
document", and paragraph 4 states: "I hereby accept the above terms and position of trustee of
t9
the H.M. Wysocki Trust." The contract is privately recorded with the Community Church of
Kaweah. Mr. Gillespie is also a trustee of WYSOCKI TRUST, according to the contract, and
therefore what is recorded as Wysocki Trust would also apply to Mr. Gillespie and there would
21
be no change in the real property taxes with the office of the Tulare County Assessor.
22
L) I, Melody Gillespie, a Plaintiff herein, do declare under penalty of perjury pursuant to the Laws of the State of
Califomia that the foregoing is true and coffect to the best of my knowledge and understanding.

4 and Castillo and Mason.
5 Mr. Hason filed an answer, but he has then
6 passed away?
7 DEFENDANT GILLESPIE; He is deceased, yes. He
I djed just a few days before the hearing.
I THE COURT: Okay. you have on1 y one wi tness?
10 MR. GASTON: Yes, Your Honor.

15 the Plaintiff,
having been first duly
16 sworn, testified as follows:
17
18 DIRECT EMMINATION
19 BY },IR. GASTON :
2A 0. pl ease state your name and spel] your

21 last name for the record.
22 A. My name i s Ni ckl as Hoffman
23 H-O-F-F-M-A-N,
24 0. Are you the owner of the trustees H.I,l.
25 Wysocki Trust?
26 A. Yes, I am.

TuJare Countv Superior Court
1 0. Is that property owned by the is the
2 property at 1838 Ljme Street #A in Porterville, Tulare
3 County, owned. the by trust?
4 A. Yes, it is.
5', 0. And
6 HS . CASTI LLO : Excuse ile , p-l ease , there are
7 some thi ngs from the I ast heari ng that we need to go
I over before we start any tri al .
I THE COURT: Al I ri ght . What was that?

10 MS. CASTILL0: Number one, the minute order
11 i s 'incorrect . It says that George Mason and Courtney
12 Gillespie was here. And unless your recorder can see
13 dead people, he wasn't here. He was deceased at that
14 time. I was the one that was here.
15 THE COURT: Al I ri ght .
16 MS . CASTI LLO : Me1 ody Ca st'i I I o .

17 And it
here: Court indicates to
says
18 Plaintiff Nicklas Hoffman that a trustee can't
19 represent himself and the Court will continue the case
20 so the defendant could hire an attorney.
21 You never did order us to hire an attorney.
22 THE COURT: Okay. That was obviously
23 i ncorrect .
24 l'ls . CASTI LLO : And then

25 THE COURT: Why does that matter?
26 MS. CASTILLO: Well, I would like a correct

Tul are Countv Superior Court
1 record.
2 THE COURT: Does any of that matter?
3 MS. CASTILL0: I don' t know. I don't know i f
4 it matters or not for posterity.
5 THE COURT: All right, Do you plan on
6 submi tt'ing th j s to your posteri ty?
7 l'ls. CASTILL0: f 'm sorry, I j ust dj dn' t want
B it unorder for us to hire an attorney when we didn't
I come with one.
10 THE C0URT: The mi nute orderi s obvi ousl y i n
11 error saying that present, and the

George Hason was
12 i nd'icat'ing that the defendant coul d hi re an attorney
13 was so that the Pl a'inti ff coul d take an attorney,
14 lls. CASTI LL0: And we had a moti on before the
15 Court that's never been responded to for judgment on
16 the pleadings, and I'd ljke a ruling on that before we
17 proceed any further.
18 And I'd like to propose a motion before the
19 Court at thi s ti me that thi s case be d-ismi ssed
20 because
21 THE COURT: Just a mj nute, p1 ease .
22 Al I ri ght . So what ' s your posi ti on on the

23 moti on of j udgment of the p'leadi ngs?
24 MR. GAST0N: Fi rst I've heard of i t . Your
25 Honor.
26 HS . CASTI LLO : I have 'i t ri ght here . He ' s

1 had over a month to to it.
resPond
2 THE C0URT: Your client did not submit the
3 moti on to you?
4 s i s the fi rst f 've heard
MR, GAST0N: Thi
5 there was a motjon for a judgment on the pleadings,
6 Your Honor.
7 THE C0URT: Al I ri ght , I ' m go'i ng to take the
8 of j udgment for pl ead'ings under submi ss j on
moti on .
I A1 I right. What was your second motjon Yrou
10 wanted to make?
11 MS. CASTILL0: Moti on to di smi ss , because
12 there is two reasons.
13 Essential parties of the case are missing and
14 the other one is the fact that the Unlawful Detainer
15 UD-100 is not a proper action because -it's a land
16 contract that's never been disputed, and there was no
17 rental contract agreement on the pleadings.
18 The UD-100 is for rental of structures.
19 There was never any structure. There is no rent
20 contract, there is no structure, it's bare land. There
21 is no action for bare land, and we were tenants in
22 common, not landlord tenants.
23 And, common tenancy comes under djfferent
24 rules, they don't come under the unlawful detainer
25 action. Thjs is an improper action.
26 THE COURT: All right. I djdn't understand

Tul are Countv Superior Court
1 your argument that necessary parties are not involved.
2 HS. CASTILLO: The property's been deeded to
3 Shawn Ray Enterpri ses . Wysock'i gave up i t ' s j nterest .
4 And Nicklas Hoffman, he's not a trustee of

5 record, he's not an owner of record. There is nothing
6 that can t-ie hjm into it except at one time he dld make
7 a I and contract agreement w-ith us and none of that's
I been ever di sputed before thi s court . There -is no
I evi dence of any I andl ord -tenant rel ati onsh'i p .
10 THE C0URT: Al I ri ght . I 'm goi ng to take

11 that al I under subm'i ssi on .
12 MS. CASTILLO: I have a copy of the escrow

13 papers that show whothe owners are
14 THE COURT: We' re go'i ng to proceed wi th the
15 tr-ial . I 'l I take that under submi ssi on and rul e at the
16 same time.
17 Go ahead , p-lease .
18 BY MR. GASTON :

6 interested in purchasing the property.
7 0. So what happened after that?
8 A. Also, they agreed to apply as per the

14 The Defendant, having been first duly sworn,
15 testi f-ied as fol I ows :
16 MR. GILLESPIE: They talked about that I had

17 to d'ivide the property. I cannot divide the property.
1B It is so convoluted into trust. They told me that the
19 trust, trustee, or the person who had the property
20 would have to divide th-is up.
21 I told him I have $00,000 to pay for it, but
22 he has to divjde. He has to get the dlvis1on of the
23 property. He's denied me this. f've sent him letters
24 back to second response that he needs to divide the
25 property so that we can go through with this land
26 contract, and he's denied me of that.

1 For six years, I've paid the power on the
2 property. Paid his power on the property. The power
3 meter comes i nto my property and -it's been i n my name
4 or my father's name, and he refuses to divide the

15 ti me to at I east pay hal f of the power b'i I I . He ' s
16 refused -it .
17 When we had talked to the attorney outside,

18 we said we can come to an agreement here if he wants to
19 pay half of his electricity and pay me $10,000 for
20 -improvements, we can revolve this prob-lem. And they
21 would not resolve.
22 I don't wish to be there. I don't wish to be
23 under the humiliation that he's put me through these
24 last sjx years.
25 f t's I i ke the ma'il box. We had the mai I box i n
26 f ront of our house. l,rlhen thi s started, he pu1 1ed the

1 majlbox out and jerked it and moved it down 300 feet.
2 It's already been filed in with the postmaster.
3 When the Court tried to send us mail, the
4 mail was gone. So I'd have to come to court and find
5 out what was go'ing on here.

12 ]'IELODY CASTILLO,
13 The Defendant, having been fjrst duly sworn,
14 testified as follows:
15 THE COURT: 0kay. Go ahead, pl ease,
16 MS. CASTILLO: 0kay.
17 Number one, r didn't want to even enter into
1B an agreement with Mr. Hoffman, but I went with my
19 husband's wishes. when he threw thjs envelope at us
20 that had the marking "void" across the paper, that was
21 the original contract, we were under the understanding
22 that once the money had passed that the contract
23 couldn't be obliterated without a proper lawsuit for
24 some kjnd of breach. We continued, try to pay, but he
25 tore up our checks. we had no because he lives at
26 the same property and receives mail at the same

Tulare County Super-ior Court
1 address, we couldn't send it certified returned
2 receipt, so we continued to pay the electricity
3 because the electricity was the same amount as the
4 interest payments.
5 His electricity was the same amount as the
6 interest payments, so, therefore, he would recejve no
7 damage. The contract was to last a full payment upon
8 2012 wh j ch we fu1 'l
y
pay as soon as we coul d
i ntended to
I get these i ssues resol ved, but he wasn't di vi d'ing the
10 property.
11 to di vi de the property was to
How he wanted
12 have all the frontage road except for a very small part
13 where we can have our entrance at, the county would not
14 go for that.
15 to resolve and have it divided the
He refused
16 way the county would agree to. It's basically up to
17 the county on how that this be done. They're not going
18 to go with just any type of property sp1it, so that was
19 beyond our w-ithout hi s cooperati on, that's beyond
20 our abil ity.
21 To say that we're not complying with the
22 contract because we d'idn't do that, he cannot benefit
23 from hi s own harm.
24 l4R. GAST0N : Obj ecti on , your Honor . It ' s
25 argumentati ve. It 's not test-imony.
26 THE C0URT: Objectjon sustained.

1 MS. CASTILLO: This is what I
fu11y berieved
2 at the time he handed it to us, that's why the only
3 resolving we could do at that t'ime without total 1y not
4 paying him so that he could call us derelict is to pay
5 the el ectri c'ity because he refused to accept any other
6 payment.
7 I
fu11y believe that that was the way to keep
8 him from being harmed and for us to remain jn active
I part'ici pati on unti I we coul d get i t resol ved .
10 He let this go on for fjve years wjthout a

11 compl ai nt . There was no comp'lai nt .
There was no
12 modjfication to the agreement. we had until 2012 to
13 come up wi th $60 , 000 , and he was a'l ready recei v-ing
14 i nterest .
15 far as him accelerating the payment in

As
16 December, there was no agreement to accelerate the
17 payment and we were still in limbo as far as getting
1B anything resolved about the property.
19 Th'i s al I came about when i n August he deci ded
20 he wanted to sel I us the property at $2q0,000 after we
21 had a1 ready agreed at $60, 000 . And we bel .ieve that
22 I believe that he put us'in that sjtuation so he could
23 bring us to this point because he wanted to increase
24 hjs profits from the property.
25 Now, he sord our water shares and he kept the
26 proceeds. He sold the $60,000 interest in the property

1 in the ten acres and he kept the proceeds from that,
2 That's all the documentation that you have there.
3 As tenants i n common, w€ were suppose to
4 sp-l 'it the proceeds and so therefore that shoul d go
5 agaj nst whatever he cl ai ms that we owed ' We' re sti I l

6 not sure lf he's the correct party to be here standing
7 and suing, because we couldn't get any answers from the
I trust j f i ndeed i t even ex'ist . We went to try to fi nd
I anything about the trust. We tried to find meeting
10 records, anything we could find, Nothjng, So the only
11 thing we could come up with is that these trusts were
12 i ntended to keep us f rom ever own'ing the property from
13 the beg'i nni ng and i t was wi th the j ntent to swi ndl e us .
14 I think that the fact that he has refused to

15 work things out with us and has filed this lawsuit
16 slandering our interest in the property, I beljeve is
17 evidence of the fact that that's what he intended to
18 djd was swjndle us. He has suffered no damage from
19 having us there.
20 MR. GAST0N : Obj ect'ion , argument j ve .
21 THE C0URT: You're argui ng, yeah.

22 Now, do you have any other evjdence to

13 A. Yes. I'm a fam'i1Y trustee.
14 MS. CASTILLO: Can I redirect on that?
15 THE C0URT: He ' s not f -i ni shed Yet .
16 BY MR. GASTON:
17 0 .
You've heard the testi mony of the
1B tenants regarding obligations to cooperate with
19 dividing the property; do you have a response to that?
20 A. Yes. The original agreement was for no
21 money down. Instead of a down payment, they agreed to
22 i ni t j ate the subdi v'i s'ion wi th the county , wh j ch we
23 would fu11y cooperate with that, was never done.
24 I have even no evidence that that was never
25 done or any attempt was even made.
26 We woul d have cooperated fu'l 1y had they kept

1 the original agreement as per the note.
2 0.So i t was your agreement that they woul d
3 take the actions and you would cooperate with them?
4 A. Yes. It would be done at their expense.
5 Correct,
6 0. There is testimony from the tenants that
7 you failed to cooperate, that you didn't cooperate with
8 them. They couldn't get the they couldn't get
I anything djvjded.
10 A. We never received any documentation to
11 cooperate with. There was never I don't believe
12 that I've ever seen any evidence that any process was
13 injtiated as far as the subdivision of the property.
14 There was no application for subd'ivisjon I never
15 in'iti ated so there was absol utel y noth'ing to cooperate
16 with.
17 And on the sp1 i t, yes, i n November of 2004 we
1B had a djscussion where a disagreement arose about
19 exactl y how the property was to be spl-it .
20 At that ti me I gave Mr. Gi I l esp-ie a check for

21 the full amount that he had paid for the eight months
22 at $0OO and told
him because we don't have an agreement
23 on how the property 'is suppose to be sp1 i t , that we
24 can't go through with it. So I attempted to return all
25 of the payments. It was at that time that he said he
26 wanted to go to the mediation that we agreed upon and I

1 told hjm to go ahead and arrange'it, that I would abide
2 by whatever the result was. They agreed upon
3 medi at'ion . I
ted three months, they never heard
wai
4 anything from them, never recejved any payment. It was
5 at that ti me that we deci ded they were no -longer

6 interested in the property, that's when we returned the
7 note "void" on'it's face and told them we were no
8 longer interested in pursuing any other purchase offers
I and told them to take some time to save up money. They
10 could stay on the property for whatever necessary time
11 they needed to make other living arrangement or look
12 for another piece of property, and that's where we left
13 off jn January of 2006.
14 We I we started
haven't heard anythi ng unti
15 until we asked them this year to move off of the
16 property. So four years of si I ence after us gi vi ng h'im
17 the note and cancel 1 -ing the agreement , they never
18 attempted to renegotjate or negotiate into agreements
19 since then.
20 t'ls. CASTILL0: l{ay I redi rect?
21 THE COURT: He's not done yet .
22 BY MR. GASTON :
23 0 . There i s some testi mony about se'l 1 i ng

24 water share. Do you have any idea about that?
25 A. too expensi ve. We
The water company was
26 weren't usi ng the water, so at the trustee meet'ing we

1 decided to sell the shares to another person who needed
2 the water from the water company as the water was not
-in pl ace
3 even useabl e and i nf rastructure was not even
4 or kept up. So i t was j ust cost"ing us the property
5 ordinance the hundreds of dollars a year for something
6 we hadn't used or could not use, so, YBS, we sold those
7 water shares. We had a right to sell them too.
B Well, there was the thing about testifying
I about the when I came over to inspect the work on
10 the that they were doi ng, but then I have noth'ing
11 el se.
12 A. Nothing further, Your Honor.

19 A. Myself and my daughter on that.
20 0. So, when you said that Courtney became a
21 trustee on part of it, then you and your daughter could
22 collude to have him be on the board, but you never
23 di scl osed th'i s?
24 MR. GASTON : Obj ecti on , argumentati ve.
25 BY MS. CASTILLO:

5 agreements?
6 A. No,
7 0. But yet he was suppose to be part of the
B body of trustees?
I A. No, he was not .
10 0. Any agreement he was board of the

11 trustees?
12 A. No. He sa'id he accepted the posi ti on.
13 By the next trustee meeting around, he had already

15 him as a trustee.

17 conveni ent?
1B A. No, our year'ly meeti ng i s on the second
19 Saturday or third Saturday of January of every year,

21 Mr. Gillespie when he signed the contract?
22 A. Yes. I bel'ieve I di d tel I hi m when the
23 next meeting was.
24 0. And the board of trustees could sell the
25 water shares of the property without discussing it with
26 other tenants on the property?

1 A. 0f course.

4 0. What about Shawn Ray Enterpri ses? Who

6 A. Who i s Shawn Ray Enterpri se? What are

8 MR. GASTON: Obj ecti on . Beyond the scope
I of
10 MS . CASTI LLO : Shawn Ray Enterpri ses -i s a
11 critical part, because they also had an 'interest in the

12 property and I want to see jf we were treated the same
13 as Shawn Ray Enterprises.
14 THE COURT: Objection sustained.
15 BY MS. CASTILLO:
16 a. Okay. What date djd you sell the water
17 shares?
1B A. I don't remember. I don't remember what

13 THE WITNESS: I don't understand the

14 questi on .
15 THE C0URT: I don't understand the quest'ion ,
16 MS. CASTI LLO: He' s cl ai mi ng when he stated

17 that there was silence and nobody ever tried to
18 renegotiate a contract.
19 Our stance is, there was a contract. Why
20 should we negotiate a new one?
21 I want to know why he bel j eved there was
22 silence and no communication between the two of them
23 over negot-iati on of a new agreement when he was over
24 daily on a daily basis, had barbecues at our house.
25 THE C0URT: Di d you have any dj scussj on

10 HR. GAST0N: Objection asto facts not in

12 testimony was that he returned it as being void.
13 THE COURT: I think the question is

15 Di d you make any attempt to modi fy any

17 THE WITNESS: No, si r .

A. to change anything.
There was no attempt
0. But you're saying there is no contract?
3 A. There is a default of agreement. There
4 is a default of sale agreement.
5 0. Default?
6 A. Defaulted according to the results the
7 note is defaulted upon. Payments were ceased jn
B October of 2005. No payment has been made since. I
I returned the note "void, canceled, no contract." That
10 was the end of it, as far as I was concerned. I never
11 heard any no one's retried to negotiate or trjed a
12 new agreement since then, That's my testimony. I can
13 only say it so many ways.
14 THE C0URT: Any other questions for him?
15 MS. CASTILLO: No, that's it.

26 THE C0URT: Did djd you have any argument as

1 how I shoul d deci de the ev-idence, Mr. Gi I I espi e?
2 MR. GILLESPIE: It's like I stated before.
3 I'm ng to negot'iate here. There 'is two ways he
wi 1'l i
4 can go. Either he can as a trustee, he can go with the
5 original contract or he can pay me what he owes me on
6 the power and what I've put into the property and we'll
7 leave. But he's accepted a years of payments.
I I don't know if he's pa-id taxes on it or
Now,
I any of this, but the thing of it js he's accepted the

11 breach of the contract.

12 THE C0URT: Al I ri ght .
13 Ms. Castillo, do you have any arguments as to

14 how I should decide the matter?
15 MS. CASTILLO: Yes , I do.
16 Th1 s i s cl earl y someth'ing outsi de of the
17 scope of an unlawful detainer. There was no rental

18 agreement and also no bu1lding the land was bought
19 together.
2A l'ly husband put i n al I of the work that
21 Nicklas couldn't do himself and then he says there is
22 no down payment . We put j n a I of of work and sweat
23 equity as well as money because he used all of our
24 tools and equipment to scope out the landscape to be
25 able to put hjs house in. We helped him build his
26 house. Once he had no use for us, then he didn't need

1 the agreement anymore. He tore up our checks and sa-id
2 we defaulted.
3 The Cal i forn-ia I aw i s very cl ear on that and
4 the Civil Code is when a good faith payment is tendered
5 and rejected, it's a debt forgiven. He cannot

12 MS. CASTILL0: 0kaY.
13 THE COURT: It's not very helpful for me

19 do anything to harm hjm in anyway and he-is in return

22 unlawful detarlner because it needs to be dec'ided who
23 owes what and it can't be it's not a rental

25 wasn't a presumed rental agreement. This js his way of

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
FOR THE COUNry OF TULARE
PORTERVILLE DIVISION ,r'3t*rat

Porterville, California, March 23, 2A10

Plaintiff, Judge: Honorable Glade F. Roper
VS Clerk: Maria Ledesma
COURTNEY GILLESPIE, et al, Reporter: Ann Cavin
Defendants.
Nature of Hearing: TRIAL, MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS AND

FOR DISMISSAL FOR FAILURE TO INCLUDE AN
INDISPENSABLE PARTY
Attorney for the Plaintiff: Andre Gaston
Attorney for the Defendant:
Plaintiff present ( X) Plaintiff not present ( )
Defendant present (X) Defendant not present ()
The trial in this case was heard by the Court March 23,2010. Defendants
moved for judgment on the pleadings and for dismissal for failure to include an
indispensabfe party. Both sides presented oral and documentary evidence and the
matter was submitted.
Defendants noted that the minute order of February 23,2010 was in error in
stating that George Mason was present, since he had died prior to that time, and in
stating that the matterwas continued so that "defendant could hire an attorney." In fact,
the matter was continued for Plaintiff to obtain an attorney since a trust may not appear
in propria persona through one of the trustees.
Defendants' motions are denied.

The facts are muddy at best. None of the witnesses fully explained the
relationship between the parties or the nature of the agreemeni, if any, by which
Defendants have possession of the subject property. -Some negotiations obviously
occurred and apparently the parties felt at one time that they had entered into an
agreement for Defendants to purchase the property. Each side felt the other had
breached the agreement. lt was evident from all testimony that there was no
agreement of any kind by which Defendants are tenants of the property as renters.
Although the complaint alleges an oral agreement for Defendants io parf a
"motorhome" on the prope8, no evidence supported the allegation.
There being no rental agreement, the Three-Day Notice served by plaintiff on

Defendants was a nullity. No evidence was presented to support a claim of waste,
nuisance or unlawful purpose. No evidence was presented io support the allegations
made in the Three-Day Notice to euit.
Judgment is entered for Defendants, and Plaintiff is not entitled to any recovery.
Defendants are entitled to costs but because they did not know the costs at the time of
the trial rnust submit a memorandum of costs and formaljudgment consistent this
ruling. ,.CF

8
q
to that Grant Deed recorded with the oflice of the Tulare County Recorder on
May 17, 2004 as document number 2004-0046807, a copy of which is attached

2l 2. Cross-complainant is ignorant of the true names and capacities of the
22 cross-defendants sued herein as Does I through 100, inclusive, and therefore sues
23 these cross-defendants by sueh fictitious names and will amend this
24 cross-complaint when that information is discovered. Cross-complainant is
25
informed and believes and based-{hereon alleges that each of the cross-defend
Wysocki lrrevocable Trust vs. Gillespie et.al. Case No. l0-238961

Courmel' Gillespie, Melody Gillespie and all those cross-defendants
designated
herein as a Doe is legally responsible for each of the acts, failures to
act,
circumstances, events and happenings alleged in this cross-complaint.

,1
3. Cross-complainant is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that

at all
5 times herein mentioned each of the cross-defendants was an agent, servant,
6 employee, partner, joint venturer or surety of each of the remaining
7
cross- defendants, and at all times herein relevant was acting
within the scope and
8 purpose of said servant, employment, agency, partnership, joint
venture or surety
a
relationship with the full knowledge and consent, either express or implied,
of
l0 each of the remaining cross-defendants.
ll 4. On or about February,2005, cross-defendants, Courtney Gillespie and Melody
I2 Gillespie, entered and took possession of approximately one and three quarters
t1
(I-314) acres of the subject Property and has since that time withheld possession
14
of this occupied Properfy from cross-complainant. This occupancy was initiated
t5 under an orally contemplated sales agreement which was understood by the
l6 parties would be fully set forth in writing at such point as a full and final
l1
agreement would be reached by all the parties wherein the different continsenci
l8 known or unknown, were satisfied. This negotiation process resulted

in only two
t9 written memorandums which are the documents attached hereto
as Exhibit B,
20 entitled "Agreement to Terms" and Exhibit C, entitled "Installment Note
Secured
21 by Deed of Trust" each of which documents are incorporated herein by this
22 reference as though fully set forth at lenglh.
5. The document entitled "Agreement to Terms" (Exhibit B) was the only document
z1 actually signed by both cross-defendant courtney Gillespie and wysocki Trust

25 co-trustee, Nicklas Hoffrnan. Noperson associated with wysocki
Trust ever
cross-complaint to euiet Title, For Ejectment, For Declaratory Relief

and For Damages
wysocki lrrevocable Trust vs. Gillespie et.al. case No. l0-23s96r

signed acceptance of the document entitled "Installment Note Secured by Deed
Trust" @xhibit c) which was only signed and offered by cross-defendant,
Courtney Gillespie. Cross-defendant, Melody Gillespie, never signed either of

these two documents. cross-complainant, Nickol D. Gerritsma, likewise never
signed either ofthese two documents.
6. on or about January 10, 2006, wysocki Trust co-trustee, Nicklas Hoffrnan, after
tendering and delivering a full refund of sums previously paid by
cross-defendants, wrote "voID LATE 2005" across the face of the document
entitled "Installment Note Secured by Deed of Trust"(Exhibit C) and delivered it
l0 back to cross-defendant Courtney Gillespie and informed said cross-defendant
u that the ongoing negotiations for the contemplated sales agreement were
t2 terminated. The terms that existed in the negotiation prior to, and at, this time o
IJ termination contemplated that the cross-defendants would purchase half of the

IA
ln approximately ten (10) acres owned by cross-complainant and that
t5 cross-defendants would not have to pay any cash money as a down payment fthe
l6 cross-defendants would apply for and obtain the contemplated subdivision of the
ll
Property in a configuration acceptable to all parties and to the County of Tulare
l8 all at cross-defendants' own personal expense. Under the Installment Note

r9 (Exhibit c), which had been prepared by cross-defendants and presented by
cross-defendants, the cross-defendants had proposed paying $600.00 per month at
2l seven (7) percent interest, and did pay the sum of $4,800.00, but failed to take an
'r')
material action to obtain the requisite sub-division approval by either the
cross-complainant or the County of Tulare which led to the tender and delivery o
a check for full refund of the said sum paid, voidance of the proffered Installment
25 Note (Exhibit C) and termination of the negotiation for sale.
cross-complaint to Quiet Title, For Ejectment, For Declaratory Relief and For Damages
Wysocki lrrevocable Trust vs. Gillespie et.al. Case No. 10-23g961

At no time mentioned herein has any land sales agreement been accepted by
cross-complainant norhas there been any recording of any land sales document
with the office of the Tulare County Recorder, norhas there been any change in
I
the real property tax status with the office of the Tulare County Assessor zar has
) any "Deed of Trust" as contemplated by the offered "Installment Note Secured by
6 Deed of Trust" (Exhibit C) ever been prepared or executed or delivered or
accepted or recorded by any of the parties of this action.
I 8. Following the above referenced termination of negotiations for sale,
9 cross-defendants remained in possession of the approximately one and three
r0 quarters (1-314) acres living in their travel trailer they had parked on this Property
ll and paying for Nicklas Hoffman's own personal electrical services direct to the
t2 electrical service company, all in lieu of any other cash rental payments to
IJ cross-complainant, all of which was with the oral permission by
14 cross-complainant until on or about December, 2009 at which time
l5 cross-defendants breached this oral tenancy by installing an electrical sub-panel
16 on the electrical service panel over the objections by cross-complainant's

11
co-trustee, Nicklas Hoffman, and by refusing to relinquish possession of the
l8 occupied property to cross-complainant or enter into a formal written rental
19 agreement for the occupied property all as requested by cross-complainant by and
20 through its co-trustee, Nicklas Hoffrnan, who first made the request to
21 cross'defendants in August, 2009 and continued periodically to make this request
22 through the time of cross-defendants' final breach in December, 2009 by virtue o
23 the installation of the above referenced electrical sub-panel. At all times
24 mentioned herein cross-complainant has performed all obligations required to be
)\ performed or is excused from further performance by cross-defendants' breach.
cross-complaint to Quiet Title, For Ejectnent, For Declaratory Relief and For Damages
Wysocki Irrevocable Trust vs. Gillespie et.al. Case No. l0-238961

Because cross-defendants continue to withhold possession of the property,
cross-complainant has been denied the use and occupation of the property to
cross-complainant's damage in the approximate sum of $1,200.00 per month
4 according to proof and will continue to sustain damages in the sum of

5 approximately $1,200.00 per month as long as cross-defendants withhold
6 possession of the property from cross-complainant.

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
l0 DECLARATORY RELIEF
1l 10. Cross-complainant hereby incorporates by this reference each allegation in
l2 Paragraphs 1 - 8 of the first cause of action above as though fully set forth at
IJ lensth.
t+ 11, An actual and justiciable controversy now exists between the parties as to their
15 respective rights and duties under the above described oral tenancy and proposed
l6 sale ageements. Cross-complainant contends, and cross-defendants deny, that

17 cross-defendants have no right to require cross-complainant to transfer any title
18 interest to any portion of the subject Property to themselves because a full and
lo
complete land sale agteement was never finalized between the parties and.becau
LV the cross-defendants failed to make any material progress towards obtaining, and
21 did not obtain, either agreement to, or authority for, a sub-division lot split
22 acceptable by both cross-complainant and by the County of Tulare.
23 Cross-defendants contend, and cross-complainant denies, that afull and complete
24 land sale agreement was entered into by all relevant parties and that
25 cross-defendants are entitled to reouire specific performance of this contended
cross{omplaint to Quiet Title, For Ejectment, For Declaratory Relief and For Damages
wysocki Irevocable Trust vs. Gillespie et.al. case No. 10-23g961

agreement. Possession, or return of possession, of the approximately one and
tlree quarters (1-3l4) acres actually occupied by the cross-defendants is urged by

3 each of the corttending parties in accordance with this stated controversy.
, judicial determination of cross-complainant's rights
12. Cross-complainant desires a
5 and duties under the proposed land sale agreement and a declaration of its
6 non-existence or invalidity or its enforceability or non-enforceability or both.
1 13. A judicial determination and declaration is appropriate and necessary at this time
8 in order that the parties may ascertain their respective rights and duties there
9 under.
10 ilL
II THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
t2 QUIET TITLE
13 t4. Cross-complainant hereby incorporates by this reference each allegation in
l4 Paragraphs I* 8 ofthe first cause ofaction and Paragraph 1 I ofthe second cause
l5 of action above as though fully set forth at length.
t6 l5 Cross-complainant seeks to quiet title against the claims of cross-defendants and
tt each of them as aforesaid. Cross-defendants claims are without any right and
18 cross-defendants have no right, title, estate, lien or interest in the above described
l9 Property all without exception.
20 16. Cross-complainant does not know the exact n€unes? capacities or interests in the
21 Property of certain of the cross-defendants which cross-complainant designates
22 for this action as "all persons unknown, claiming any legal or equitable right, ti
z) estate, lien or interest in the Property adverse to cross-complainant's title, or any

.\^
cloud on cross-compiainant's title to the Property." Cross-complainant seeks to
25 quiet title in the Property against the claims of each such cross-defendant and
Cross-Complaint to Quiet Title, For Ejectrnent, For Declaratory Relief and For Damages
Wysocki lrrevocable Trust vs. Gillespie et.al. Case No. 10-238961

each such cross-defendant has no right, title, estate, lien or interest in the Properry
z or any part of it. Cross-complainant will serve this class of cross-defendants by
publication as the Court allows.
4 I7. Cross-complainant seeks to quiet title against all cross-defendants and each of
them as of January 10,2006 which is the date on which the document attached
6 hereto as Exhibit C was delivered back to cross-defendants marked
1 "VOID LATE 2005" and the sales nesotiation was terminated bv

8 cross-complainant.
9 18. The claim of cross-defendants is contingent and uncertain in that at no time
10 mentioned herein has any land sales agreement been accepted by
1l cross-complainant norhas there been any recording of any land sales document
I2 with the office of the Tulare Qounty Recorder, norhas there been any change in
13 the real property tax status with the office of the Tulare County Assessor norhas
t4 any "Deed of Trust" as contemplated by the "Installment Note Secured by Deed
l5 of Trust" (Exhibit C) ever been prepared or executed ar delivered or accepted
l6 or recorded by any of the parties of this action.
