a) Judge offering legal advice. On October 11, 2007, in open court, when Keshavarzi
brought a motion to compel, Judge Segal denied it, but instructed Keshavarzi to provide
him order appointing receiver. Keshavarzi hesitated for a bit, since on August 30, 2007,
Judge Connor reprimanded him in open court for making such suggestion in phone call
with ADR. I then protested askng what specific due process procesure was discussed.
Judge Segal then told him to produce a motion.
b) The motion was heard at 4-day notice, after an ex parte on November 5, 2007. But Judge
Segal “disposed” of the minute order for the ex parte hearing.
c) The motion falsely identifies the order granting summary judgment as the judgment.
d) In open court Keshavarzi explained that he did not recognize the judgment.
e) The order does not refer to any section of the code
f) The order does not incorporate the judgment
g) The order does not incorporate the contract
h) The order is arbitrary and abusive.

TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on November 20, 2007, at 8:30 a.m., or
3
as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in Department 0 of the above-entitled
4
Court, located at 1725 Main Street, Santa Monica, California 90401, plaintiffNivie
5
Samaan ("plaintiff') will, pursuant to Sections 708.610,708.620 and 712.060 of the
6
California Code of Civil Procedure, bring on for hearing her motion for appointment
7
of a receiver to assist in enforcing the judgment against defendant Joseph Zemik
8
("Zemik" ).
9
10 Plaintiff makes this motion on the ground that Zernik refuses to comply
11 with the judgment against him and considering the interests of both the judgment
12 creditor and the judgment debtor, the appointment of a receiver is the only
13 reasonable method to obtain the fair and orderly satisfaction of the judgment.
14 Moreover, Samaan will be irreparably harmed if a receiver is not appointed.
15
This motion is based on this Notice of Motion, the attached
16
Memorandum of Points and Authorities and Declarations of Sherry Aleverson, Jared
17
Harris, Moe Keshavarzi, David J. Pasternak and Christina Pugh, including exhibits,
18
all pleadings, papers, and records filed in this action, those matters of which the
19
Court may take judicial notice, and any and all arguments made at the hearing on

14 The Code of Civil Procedure provides that the Court can appoint a
15 receiver if, considering the interests of both the judgment creditor and the judgment
16 debtor, the appointment of a receiver is a reasonable method to obtain the fair and
17 orderly satisfaction of the judgment. Here, Zemik's actions have confirmed that
18 appointment of a receiver is the only effective method of enforcing the judgment.

22 Zernik also did not appear at the September 10 conference with Judge
23 O'Brien. (ld~,,-r 4). Samaan and her counsel appeared and discussed escrow with
24 the Judge. Od.) That morning Zen1ik gave notice of his ex parte application to

Subsequently Zernik refused to pay his share of Judge O'Brien's fee and
2 on September 20 wrote an email addressed to Judge O'Brien saying he would not
3 pay the bill because "as I explained in the past, I would not be able to participate in a
4 processes that is out of compliance with the law. Moreover, I find it a sad
5 commentary that you, Judge O'Brien, did." (Keshavarzi Decl., Exh. 7).
6
In the meantime, Zemik's repeated ex parte applications to recuse
7
Judge O'Brien were denied. (ld., ~~ 5-6) Undeterred, Zernik began a campaign of
8
harassing ADR's employees. Between September 20 to October 5, Zernik sent no
9
less than 35 emails and letters to ADR's employees demanding documents,
10
accusing Judge O'Brien of "dubious conduct," claiming "I do not recognize the
11
validity of the appointment of Judge O'Brien, and object to any action by ADR in
12
this regard." Zemik also threatened Judge O'Brien to stop working on the case
13
because "you are personally involved and liable." Cl1.:, Exh. 8).
l4
15 Eventually, on October 15, after Zemik's repeated threats and emails, in
l6 a letter to this Court resigned as the referee. (Keshavarzi Decl., Exh. 9). In that
17 letter Judge O'Brien wrote:
18
Unfortunately, since the case was first referred to me by
19 Judge Connor, certain circumstances have arisen that
maKe it imprudent for me to remain as the referee. After
20 further discussion with members of this firm, I must
reluctantly decline to participate further in this reference.

c. Zerniks Tells The Title Company That He 'ViII Not Sell the Property and
24
Threatens the Lender's Appraiser.
25
Immediately after judgment was entered in Samaan's favor, Samaan
26
27 began the process of finalizing her loan and preparing for close of escrow. On
28 September 26, United Title Company was requested to open an account for the
6 fraudulent, that he would not permit the sale ofthe Property to go forward and
In the ensuing weeks, just as he had done with ADR, Zemik started a
9
campaign of harassment directed at United Title's employees. (Alverson Decl.,~ 3,
10
Exh. A). He repeatedly called their office and sent no less than II emails. (ld.)
I1
Eventually, United Title asked Zemik to deal only with its counsel. (Id.)l
12
\3 Zemik has also prevented Saaman's lender from appraising the
14 Property for Samaan's loan. After judgment in her favor was entered, Samaan
15 retained the services of Pacific Mortgage Consultants ("Pacific Mortgage") to
16 procure her loan for purchase ofthe Property. (Pugh Dec!" ~ 2). Pacific Mortgage
17 asked Prefened Appraisals, Inc. to conduct the appraisal. (Declaration of Jared
18 Harris ("Han'is Decl."), ~ 2). On October 5, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. Jared Harris and
19 Kris Wallace of Preferred Appraisals appeared at the Property to begin the appraisal.
20 (Harris Decl., ~ 2). Messrs. Harris and Wallace began measuring and inspecting the
21 Property. (leU Upon noticing them, Zemik came outside and asked what they were
22 doing. (1d.) After Mr. Harris explained their purpose, Zemik said that Pacific

25 Harassment and threats are Zemik's modus operandi. During the litigation,
while Samaan's motion for summary judgment was pending, Zemik contacted
26 Countrywide, a third-party witness and asked that they sign false declarations.
(Keshavarzi Dec!., ~ 9). Because Countrywide would not do so, Zemik began
27 harassing its employees, including its president and General Counsel. Od.)
Eventuany Countrywide obtained a protective order against Zemik. oct.)

2 Od.)
In the ensuing days, as he had done with ADR and United Title, Zernik
4
began a campaign of harassment and threats directed against Preferred Appraisals.
5
Between October 5 and October 13 Zemik sent Preferred Appraisals no less than
6
five emails stating that Preferred Appraisal should stay away from the transaction
7
involving his Property and that he had "filed a report with the Beverly Hills Police
8
Department." (Harris Decl., Exh. B).
'9
10 Zemik has also been harassing Paci fic Mortgage. On October 8 and
11 then again on October 19, he wrote emails to Pacific Mortgage claiming that the
12 transaction t~or purchase of the Property involved "fraud" and threatened them with a
13 complaint to the California Department of Real Estate if they did not immediately
14 cease participating in the transaction. (Pugh Decl., ~ 3, Exh. C).
15
D. Betw€'en August 8 to October 22, Zernik Noticed No Less Than 36 Ex
16
Parte Applications.
17
18 Perhaps the best example of Zernik's failure to accept the consequence
19 of his actions and the judgment against him is the fact that since August 9, 2007,
20 when Judge Connor granted Samaan's Motion for Summary Judgment, Zemik has
21 noticed no less than 37 ex parte applications. (Keshavarzi Decl., ~ 7).
24 ~ 7). In these ex parte applications Zemik also has repeatedly challenged the Court's
")"

26 rogue judge" and asked Judge Segal "to cease and refrain from acting as the
27 presiding judge in Samaan v. Zemik". (Keshavarzi Decl., Exh. 10). Through his

III. DISCUSSION
4
A. THE COURT SHOULD APPOINT A RECEIVER TO ENFORCE THE
5
JUDGl\IENT AGAINST ZERNIK
6
7
"The court may appoint a receiver pursuant to Article 7 (commencing
8 with Section 708.610) of Chapter 6 of Division 2 to enforce a judgment for
9 possession or sale of property." Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 712.060. Under Section
10 708.620 the Court may appoint a receiver to enforce the judgment "where the
II judgment creditor shows that, considering the interests of both the judgment creditor
12 and the judgment debtor, the appointment of a receiver is a reasonable method to
13 obtain the fair and orderly satisfaction of the judgment." Cal. Code (,iv. Proc.
14 9 708.620.
15 A receiver appointed under Section 708.620 is subject to the general
16 provisions of receivership law regarding appointments, qualifications, powers, rights
17 and duties. Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 708.610. Accordingly, receivers appointed after
18 judgment may (1) carry the judgment into effect or (2) dispose of property pursuant
19 to the judgment. Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 564(b)(3),(4); Gold v. Gold Realty Co., 114
20 Cal. App. 4th 791, 804 (2003) (holding that the court had authority to appoint
21 receiver to enforce judgment requiring dissolution of real estate corporations).
22
Given Zernik's conduct since judgment was entered against him in this
23
24 case the appointment of a receiver is the only method to "obtain the fair and orderly
25 satisfaction of the judgment." Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 708.620.
26 Zernik has shown that he does not believe the judgment against him is
27 valid or that the judge issuing the judgment had the authority to do so. Aside from

1 actually telling a non-party that he does not intend to comply with the judgment
2 (Alverson Decl., ~ 2), Zemik's actions confirm that he will not comply with the
3 judgment: Zemik has filed several ex parte applications and motions asking the
4 Court to vacate the judgment or reconsider the order granting the motion for
5 summary judgment. All such requests have been denied. The judgment has not
6 been stayed. but Zernik is refusing to accept its legal consequences.
7
'Nithout a receiver Samaan will be unable to enforce her judgment.
8
There is no adequate remedy at law. The referee appointed to this case resigned
9
because of Zernik's harassment and Samaan has no other remedy.
10
11 If the Court does not appoint a receiver Samaan will suffer irreparable
12 harm. Any delay in possession by Samaan will significantly cause harm to Samaan.
13 The judgment against Zemik requires him to transfer the Property to Samaan at the
14 contract price of$I,718,000. The Property is currently worth more than that
15 amount. (Keshavarzi Decl., Exh. II). As the Court is likely aware, the real estate
16 market in Southern California is in decline right now. (Keshavarzi Dec\., Exh. 12).
17 Any delay will deny Samaan the use of the equity in the Property.
18
B. THE COURT SHOULD SELECT DAVID J. PASTERt~AK AS THE
19
RECEIVER.
20
21 Samaan respectfully requests that the Court choose Mr. David J.
22 Pasternak as the receiver to enforce her judgment against Zernik. The declaration of
23 Mr. Pasternak and his receivership resume confirm that he is quali fied to act as a
24 receiver in til is matter. (Declaration of David J. Pasternak, ,-r~ 2-7, Exh. A).

Sir/Madam:
Your name came up recently relative to an initiative by Mr Victor Parks to get you involved in a real
estate transaction. I called your respective offices and requested that you produce evidence that Victor
Parks was authorized by law to do so. None of you provided any evidence like that.
I again repeat my demand that you produce to me any and all documents used by Mr Parks to establish
Mr Parks \\ias involved in multiple instances of fraud relative to a previous attempt by his relative
For example:
In the various subpoena production materials I found two types of hand signatures for Victor Parks.
One I identify as the Northern California type, and the other is the Southern California type. But none
Therefore. the signature used on a Prequalification Letter, dated Sept 7, 2004. presented by his relative
by marriage- Samaan - on his behalf - was the Southern California type. The content of that letter had
no base in reality. and constituted Fraudulent Inducement. In court, Victor Parks and Samaan, failed to
include that document in subpoena production, in fact disowning it. When I introduced it. as an
example of fraud perpetrated jointly by Samaan and Parks. they tried to raise evidentiary objection to the
document on the grounds of "improper fIuthentis:ation". With that, in fact. they admitted that it was a
case of forgery.
On the other hand. Samaan's 1003. which too - had no base in reality, was signed by the Northern
California type of signature. In court. they tried to introduce a copy with no signature at all. In that
document the signature indicates that Parks interviewed Samaan and entered that loan application. In
deposition, Samaan stated that Parks had nothing to do with that loan application. and that she and her
husband completed it \vithout even talking with Parks. In that document Parks and Samaan evidenced
Also. in our transaction, Samaan (in LA) routinely sent and received fax communications impersonating
Parks (in Washington State at that time), That scheme that amount to Wire Fraud against an
Individual. and also Wire Fraud against a Financial Institution. Parks' fax line automatically
fornarded to Samaan's fax line. And when sending documents under his personality. she vvould set her
machine to show no header [D.
In short. you are provided more than sufficient warning. I demand to see any documents that were
presented to you as the Inundation for Parks' authority to initiate the title and appraisal action. These are
no fraud amateurs.

Sir/Madam:
Your name came up recently relative to an initiative by Mr Victor Parks to get you involved
in a real estate transaction. I called your respective offices and requested that you produce
evidence that Victor Parks was authorized by law to do so. None of you provided any
evidence Ii ke that.
I again repeat my demand that you produce to me any and all documents used by Mr Parks
to establish his legal authority to initiate this action.
For example:
[n the various subpoena production materials I found two types of hand signatures for
Victor Parks. One I identify as the Northern California type, and the other is the Southern
California type. But none bears any semblance to Victor Parks' signature on declarations in
court.
Therefore, the signature used on a Prequalijication Letter, dated Sept 7, 2004. presented by
his relative by marriage- Samaan - on his behalf - was the Southern California type. The
content of that letter had no base in reality. and constituted Fraudulent Inducement. In
court, Victor Parks and Samaan, failed to include that document in subpoena production, in
fact disowning it. When I introduced it. as an example of fraud perpetrated jointly by
Samaan and Parks, they tried to raise evidentiary objection to the document on the grounds
of "improper authentication". With that. in fact. they admitted that it was a case of
forgery.
On the other hand.. Samaan ~\' 1003, which too - had no base in reality, was signed by the
Northern California type of signature. In court, they tried to introduce a copy with no
signature at all. In that document the signature indicates that Parks interviewed Samaan and
entered that loan application. In deposition. Samaan stated that Parks had nothing to do
with that loan application, and that she and her husband completed it without even talking
with Parks. In that document Parks and Samaan evidenced Bank Fraud against a
Government Backed Lender.
Also. in our transaction, Samaan (in LA) routinely sent and received fax communications
impersonating Parks (in Washington State at that time). That scheme that amount to Wire
Fraud against an Tndividual, and also Wire Fraud against a Financial Institution. Parks'
fax line automatically forwarded to Samaan's fax line. And when sending documents under
his personality. she would set her machine to show no header 10.
In short you are provided more than sufficient warning. I demand to see any documents
that were presented to you as the foundation for Parks' authority to initiate the title and
appraisal action. These are no fraud amateurs.

J am not sure who proviueu you with the document you attached. However that document is
insufficient. This is NOT a legal JUDGMENT. Being a non-la\vyer myself, it took me time to digest
the fine points that are particularly confusing in this case. since the ~'lotion (Motion for Summary
For example,
NOTICE OF ENTRY OF RULING in motion for summary judgment is NOT a notice of entry of
judgment...
NOTICE OF ENTRY OF ORDER granting summary judgment is NOT a notice of entry of judgment... ..
The document that should have been the source of authority had to be JUDGMENT itself. not any of the
trailers coming before the movie... these are just trailers, but \ve need to see the movie itself. ..
If you read it carefully, the document that you provided. at its very end. come close to it:

But you have not been provided with any document showing that: ''judgment shall he entered
forthwith" had indeed ever taken place. Typically such action by the court would be documented by:

b) Notice of Entry of Judgment
1) Please let me know immediately if)!ou ever get any document of that nature, i.e. Jl!DGMENT,
and/or NOTICE OF ENTRY OF JUDGMENT relative to the property.

to Ms. Woo challenging Judge O'Brien's appointment and asking for copies of all
2 orders that authorize Judge O'Brien to act as a referee and hold conference calls.
3 Attached hereto as Exhibit 5 are Mr. Zernik's emails to Ms. Woo and ADR Services
4 challenging Judge O'Brien's appointment.
S 4. Zemik also did not appear at the September 10, conference with
6 Judge O'Brien. r appeared with my client's husband and discussed escrow with the
7 Judge. That morning Zemik gave notice of his ex parte application to recuse Judge
8 O'Brien, even though he had recommended Judge O'Brien. Attached hereto as
9 Exhibit 6 is a true and correct copy of Zemik's ex parte notice of September 10.
lO 5. Subsequently Zemik refused to pay his share of Judge O'Brien's
11 fee and on September 20 wrote an email addressed to Judge O'Brien saying he
12 would not pay the bill because "as I explained in the past, I would not be able to
13 participate in a processes that is out of compliance with the law. Moreover, I find it
14 a sad commentary that you, Judge O'Brien, did." Attached hereto as Exhibit 7 are
15 true and correct copies of email from Zemik to ADR stating that he would not pay
16 his share of fees.
17 6. Between September 20 to October 5, Zemik sent no less than 35
18 emails and letters to ADR's employees demanding documents, accusing Judge
19 O'Brien of "dubious conduct", claiming "I do not recognize the validity of the
20 appointment of Judge O'Brien, and object to any action by ADR in this regard".
21 Zemik also threatened Judge O'Brien to stop working on the case because "you are
22 personally involved and liable." Attached hereto as Exhibit 8 are true and correct
23 copies of some of the emai1s from Zemik to ADR. On October 15, after Zemik's
24 repeated threats and emails, in a letter to this Court resigned as the referee.
25 Attached hereto as Exhibit 9 is a true and correct copy of Judge O'Brien's letter to

20 August 9, 2007 before this Court in Department I, HOD. Jacqueline A. Cormor presiding.
21 After full consideration of the evidence, the separate statements, and the authorities
22 submi [ted by each party, as well as oral argument, the Court finds that plaintiff has met her
2j summary judgment burden by proving each element oEher claim for specific performance,
2.. entitling her to Judgment on that cause of action. Defendant has failed to respond ""ith specific
25 tacts, .;upported by properly authenticated evidence, demonstrating a triable issue of material fact

8 ;Vis. Hershowitz at Mara Escrow dated October 22.2004 at 3:42 p.m. (Moving Papers, Exhibit
q I 2'+) and the fax. from Victor Parks to Countryv.iJe on October 25.2004 (Opposition. Exhibit C).
!o Ms. Hershowitz states that, at the time afher fax at 3:-:1-2 p.m. on October 22, 2004. Mr. Zemik
II had continued to fail to provide .\1ara Escrow with a fully executed copy of the purchase
12 agreement. 'vIs. \1cLaurin states that. by October 25.2004, all loan apprO\al cond~tions had
13 been met by Ms. Samaan except for the provision of a fully executed purchase agreemect. Base
II on this evicence, the Court finds that Mr. Lcmik'3 noncompliance caused the delay by ~ls .
Iii As of October 2';, 2004, Ms. Samaan had fulti!Jed all ooligations, except for rcmoval of
17 I the appraisal contingency. The appraisal contingency could not be removed w1til Ms. Samaan
13 received loan approval. Approval of the loan was delayed because COllntrywide had not
19 received a fully executed copy of the purchase agreement. Despite multiple requests by Victor
20 Parks and/or \!1s. Samaan to Mara Escrow to provide the executed purchase agreement, it was
21 not provided until the late afternoon or evening of October 22, 2004 because Mr. Zemik had not
sivned
c
or initialed the "Residential Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions" until
then. Ms. Samaan's failure to remove the appraisal contingency until 5: 18 pm on October 25,
24 .2004 ""as sakIy Clttributable to Mr. Zemik's noncompliance md, therefore, she is entitled under
25 the law to specitic performance. Repeated contentions by :Vir. Zemik that his signature on the
26 second counter-ofter \"as sufficient to complete the purchase agreement is simply not supported
27 oy ::L'l)' authority or expert declaration, but in fact is directly contradicted by the declarations of
/\dditionally, 'vfs. Samaan faxed her final contingency removal to \Iichael Libow at 5: 18
, i p.m. un October 25, ~004. ~[r. Zanik's cancellation instructions wen:: not faxed to .\fs. Samaan
by ~Iari.l Escrow umil 5:23 p.m. on October 25, 2004. Mr. Lemik's contention that he canceled
t~<;; ce::1l by fax on October 21, 2004, is not supported by the undis~uted record of events. In his
.: initial fax. \fr. Zemik simply ~takd that he would be requesting that his realtor. \1r. LibO\s,
rycparc: .;zmcd\:1tion instruuJOns. This tax was follovied hy lJllgoing ,:unvcrsarions bcrv.een the
8 not occur until October 25.2004. Nothing in Mr. Zemik's fax indicated that he was canceling
10 Finally, Mr. Lernik's lruudulent inducement claim, based on an allegedly fraudulent loan
11 prequalification letter by Victor Parks dated September 7.2004, is no more than a red herring.
12 ~tr. Zemik did not cancel escrow based on any question regard ing Ms Samaan' s
13 prequalification in September 2004. As set forth above, Ms. Samaan had obtained loan approval
14 on October ::'5, 2004 and final approval on October 29. 2004. before the escrow closing date of
15 November 1.2004. Ms. Samaan has also provided uncontroverted evidence establishing her
17 While there were dubious actions on both sides, it is ultimately clear that Mr. Zcmik' s
18 own actions caused the delay in loan approval and resulting delay in Ms. Samaan's ability to
19 remove the appraisal contingency, the concededly sole basis for .\1r. Zemik's cancellation of
20 escrow. The evidence shows that .\1s, Samaan was ready, willing and able to complete the
21 purchase by the November 1,2004 closing date and is presently ready, w'illing and able as well.
22 CONCLUSION
25 and against defendant Joseph Zemik on the single cause of action for specific performance.

I would like to up the antes: $1.000 to Mr Keshavarzi ifhe could produce a valid documentation that the
Motion ['or Sanctions per CCP section 128.7 was already denied.
Regardless of the fact that I do not recognize the validity of the appointment of Judge O'Brien, and
object to any action by ADR in this regard. I hold that it is ADR's obligation. hased on the pretension of
appointment. to acknowledge receipt of communications from a party.
Ms Woo and \ls Scales: Please acknowledge Receipt of this communication. and fcmvarding of the
message to .fudge O'Brien.
Joseph Zernik
fhe 128.7 motion was already denied. \1s. Woo. we would appreciate a hearing as soon as possible so that we
can stan the cscrow process.
Judge ()'Brien:
But the ex parte's I referred to went far beyond that meeting on Sept 102007... In transcript
of August 30. 2007. Status Conference. Keshavarzi had already reported his first
discussions with you. Judge O'Brien (page 6, lines 9-11. attached). And I must assume that
he was discussing your appointment as a "Receiver" the same way he discussed it with
Claudia and Christie at that time.
And on Labor Day Monday Keshavarzi was notifying me of arrangements for a "Hearing"
with a referee, that by Tuesday morning nobody in ADR knew about yet... and nobody
would answer or explain how that meeting came to be noticed on Labor Day Monday by
Keshavarzi. and scheduled in conflict with a court hearing where Keshavarzi was supposed
to explain why he had knowingly and repeatedly filed offending documents.
In short Keshavarzi took the necessary steps to corrupt the procedure before it even started,
and Judge Connor. as you can read in the transcript refused to spcll out the required terms
of app()intmenL because she did not want to allow the appointment of an independent
autonomous referee (p6 lines 13-22), thereby yielding some of her authority. she wanted to
reserve to herscl f the right to intervene... So no matter how clearly I presented to her the
terms that the law required to be defined. she could not find the papers (p6. lines 23 to p7
line 7).
By the way. the new Court hearing for the Motion for Sancations per CCP 128.7 is set ~Dr
Monday. November 5, 2007. 8:30am.

Judge O'Brien:
Needless to point out to a judge that disambiguation is a central tenant of Due Process. and derived from
it among others. are Notice and Minutes.
Your repeated billings through ADR Services document proceedings re: Samaan v Zemik. SC087400.
including hut not limited to that of Sept 10.2007 by you and Mr Keshavarzi. It is now over a month
later. and Notice/Minutes informing me of what transpired in such proceedings are long overdue. I have
requested such on several occasions in the past. and as a judge. I expected that you would havl; issued
such notice/minutes of your own volition even if I forgot to ask for such. especially since I was not
present or privy to any of such proceedings.
I request again that you immediately provide valid, authenticated notice/minutes of any proceedings or
communications. formal or infomlaL direct or indirect that you participated in RE: Samaan v Zernik. in
person, by email. by correspondence, or by phone, vvith counsel for Samaan and/or the court, including,
but not limited to:
Failure to immediately provide such notice/minutes. even after repeated requests. mayor must be
deemed as abdication of your duties as a neutral in general, and a neutral in Samaan v Zernik in
particular.
Joseph Zernik
PS: Ms Woo. please confirm by email receipt of this email. and the respective fax. on behalf of Judge
O'Brien. Failure to confirm receipt of such communications must be deemed as abdication of your duties
as a provider of neutral services in generaL and in Samaan v Zernik in particular.

8 to determine critical issues regarding my life. and did not even made an attempt to appear

was responding with irrelevant lies meant to paint me as a person of bad faith - that J had
'1 as many as nine attorneys appear in court for me.
~
3 I I. In fact, Plaintiff by that time had employed three different law offices that [ can readily
4 recall. and if one was to count individual attorneys appearing on her behalf. the number
6 12. But even more distressful that the constant attempt to paint me as a person of bad faith,
7 was the strange coordination between the Judge and Keshavarzi. He too was repeating
8 that lie to attorneys that [ tried to engage, with the added icing that most of them ended
9 up going to court to ask to be relieved. I then had to exonerate myself before such
10 potential counsels. which immediately put our relationship in a strange point, because it
I1 was obvious to me, that if they believe Keshavarzi more than they believe me. they are
12 not the right attorney for me. Att Schorr. Att Scott. Att Hoffman and others reported to

8 15. I clearly remember how stunned I was when Judge Connor was smiling at me and stating
9 "It's next business day, Mr Zernik. It's immediately the following busine,ss date".(lines
to marked with an asterisk near the right margin).
11 16. That contract was the central document in this case. She already made one unusual
12 decision in this regard. denying the demurrer on Statute of Frauds and allowing the case
13 to go on without having Plaintiff amend her claim and present the contract. And then the
14 contract is presented as surprise in the last minute. And this is a document that I had
15 already declared to Keshavarzi as offending document. They claimed repeatedly that it
16 was faxed by Parks to Countrywide. but the evidence shows that it was not faxed by
17 Parks. and it was not faxed to Countrywide either
18 17. And beyond that. Mr Parks declared that he received it on Friday. Oct 22. 2004. 3:42pm
19 and "immediately" faxed it to Countrywide, and that Countrywide rejected it. ... And then
20 later on. by Monday, October 25. 2004. he managed finally after all his eff0l1s get
21 another document from escrow. And that later document was indeed signed. And then he
..,..,
later faxed that later document to Countrywide. and then later the finally got the loan
23 approved. and then the appraisal was done! Bingo! All done!
24 18. But it just did not fit the facts. The document has a fax header imprint on it that it was
25 received on Friday. October 22.2004. 3:42pm, from Mara Escrow. and that the very
26 same document was faxed to Countrywide on Monday. October 25. 2004. at 5:03pm.
27
19.5o in essence. the facts show that there were no two separate fax transmissions
28 of the contract document from escrow to Samaan (claiming to be Parks as

1 part of wire fraud), only one. And the history of that transmission was as
2 follows:
3 II a. Came from escrow to Samaan (claiming to be Parks as part of wire
4 II fraud) at 3:42pm on Friday, October 22,2004,
5 II b. Went from Samaan to her husband, JR (claiming to be
6 II Countrywide) on Monday, October 25, 2004, 5:03pm.
7 20. Therefore, there is no proof here that the document arrived at Countrywide at
12 lion Friday, 3:42pm. faxed it. and it was rejected by Countrywide. Then Zemik went to
13 II eSl:row after that. and added the initials. And then Parks got it sometime later. and by
14 II Monday he faxed it to Countrywide. and then it was accepted. and then the appraisal
15 II review was immediately done. and the loan was approved. and Samaan removed the
16" contingency on Monday afternoon. Bingo. all done.
17 23. Some litigants may feel that their case did not get the treatment it deserved in court
18 because the judge was somewhat slow, or not knowledgeable. or inattentive. I never had
19 any such consideration. I hold that Judge Connor is sharp as a razor. I hold that she is
20 very knowledgeable in the law, and otherwise. I hold that she was very attentive.
21 24. At that particular point I was talking without interruption for a few minutes. on a very dry
22 and technical issue of the wire fraud. But she was very focused. and when it came to the
23 point where the evidence diametrically contradicted Plaintiffs version of events. she
24 provided in a blink the explanation: "Immediately" can still describe receiving a fax on
25 Friday 3:42pm and sending it on Monday. 5:03pm. Immediately can be used in the sense
26 of "Immediate next business day".
27 25. It was obvious to me all along, that if a person reviewed the case, they \vere extremely
28 likely not only to doubt. but to conclude that that had I argued that "immediately" could

seen as pathetic.
3 26. Beyond that. the speed with which Judge Connor responded to this point indicated that
4 she noticed this major contradiction in advance. and prepared a response in advance. But
5 the response never even meant to be serious. rt was a joke. She was sitting there. smiling
7 27. The reason it felt as harassment was that it was clear that Judge Connor was gifted by
8 brightness, was well-educated, was granted a position of authority and privilege, and then
9 using it all of the above, combined. for ill ends. with a joy.
11 29. Further stress. both physical and psychological was mounted when I was left with no
12 alternative but remain in pro per. Sleep deficit and tiredness became almost constant.
13 30. I substantially gained weight. to the point that I get negative comments on a daily basis.
15 31. [n addition. there is the harassment in the courthouse it: since the first or second time I
16 showed up in court. I have sheriffs following me everywhere. I thought that would end
17 now that 1 am out of Department I. but it was still there yesterday. Tue, October 10. 2007.
18 32.1 believe that the very first time I realized it. was from communication with an attorney
19 that I was trying to engage for counsel. He informed me that Keshavarzi informed him
20 that I was considered by Judge Connor dangerous and potentially violent, and that she
:n had alerted the Sheriffs and asked them to watch me when I was in her courtroom. I then
')')
startcd noticing it. and realized that it was indeed the case.
23 33. That comment by Keshavarzi raised two concerns: It was again once ofthosle instances of
25 O'Brien. He knew what they think and say. but based some pronouncements that were
26 never mani fest to me in court or in any other writings equally available to both parties.

34. A person reviewing the situation as a whole is reasonably going to conclude, or at least
., entertain the doubt that Keshavarzi was engaging in routine ex parte communications
4 35. Even today, anywhere I go in the court. there is surely going to be a sheriff walking
5 hehind me. When [ entered department 0 yesterday, a sheri ff entered atter me and sat
6 and waited until I finished my business. Soon after [ left the courtroom, he left the
7 courtroom as well.
8 36. And the same treatment followed me to the West Side court, for the first few days.
9 37. But on om: of the first few days in the West Side, I was followed by a sheriff with a
10 German Sheppard. [t struck me as escalation - an armed sheriff was not sufficient to
11 subdue my violent nature anymore, and there was a need for canine help!
12 38. In Santa Monica. that situation was used by staff to harass me. For example, if! asked
13 for printouts of minute orders in the clerk's room, and they did not want to provide it,
14 then Darleen may start screaming at me, and another staff would call the sht:ritTs, with
15 the appearance that I disturbed the peace.
16 39. On this hostile background, one has to evaluate the incident in the Courtroom of Dept A
17 Supervising Judge, on August 31, 2007. I passed in Department A for the first time ever
18 on the previous day, August 30, 2007. I asked Ruth, the Judicial Assistant, what the
19 procedure was for submitting complaints. She dismissed the question as trivial and said
20 it just had to be in writing.
21 40. The next day, August 31, 2007, I brought a written complaint. The immediate response
'1'1
was that Ruth raised her voice and started yelling that I had to immediately cover it with
23 a brown paper envelope. [said I had no clue. she never told me that the previous day.
24 She was still yelling at me - that had to immediately go to the clerk's oftice and get a
25 brown paper envelope there, and only then return to her courtroom. I was already
26 apprehensive, looking around to see how the sheriffs were responding. in the room, and
27 what their response was. It was clearly a situation that had the potential to become
~8 explosive.

41. I got the brown paper envelope and finally submitted the complaint. A bit later the
" supervising judge came in and Ruth presented to him the envelope. He opl.:ned it and
3 started reading, and he was visibly upset. The main issue was access to Court File.
4 42. He angrily said to me he will show me that it was easily accessible. He called a few
5 places, but seemed to have no luck. After that he said to me: "now I will show you hand
6 on management" still in an angry tone. And he left the Courtroom. apparently searching
7 for the file. Eventually, he came back, with only 3 out of 6 volumes. IIe was visibly even
9 43. He tossed the volumes on the table in the well in front of bench. and told me to mark the
10 pages I wanted to copy, then the Clerk's room will arrange the copying. I told him that I
I1 wanted to copy it all. He said tine. Then said that my understanding is that the copies
12 will not be done on the spot. and I wanted to be able to compare the original and the
14 44. He got even more upset with me. He said something to the effect that I was: implying that
15 they were going to cheat. 1said that it was standard procedure, if later I had to declare
16 that this was a full and complete copy. He then agreed. but was visibly very upset. Then
17 before he was going to leave the room, he tossed at me my complaint and said that now.
18 that he got me the court file, I could take my complaint back.
19 45. I refused to take it. I said that it was the copy that I tiled with the court. And he said
20 something like: are you trying to tell me that there is more there than just gdting you to
21 copy the tile. And I said: yes, there are a number of issues. He then got more and more
"" upset, and said I had to take it back. and I repeated my position.
23 46. Immediately, the two armed guards in the courtroom approached me. and trit:d to force
24 me to take the complaint back. I was fearful. I did not know these two particular
25 guards. I also did not even notice them as individuals. it was just persons trying to force
26 me to do something against my will. I was not '-going to Yield. But I immediately
....... ~ . raised
27 my hand to my head. I was very fearful that somehow they \\ ill fake an incidence of

violence on my part and shoot me. I slowly retreated from the courtroom, 'with my hands
')
all the time still up to my head.
3 47. I was \valking to the Clerk's Office to ask them to copy the tile. [was still with my
4 hands up on my head. And the two sheriffs were still around me all the time, trying to
5 plant the complaint on my body, but I was no longer afraid, since there were people
6 around us.
7 48. At the derk's office (Room 102) they len that brown envelope on the counter, next to
8 me, and left the room. I finished my business, and then left that room as wdl. I left the
9 brown envelope behind me. Within seconds, Darlene was running behind me. asking me
10 to take the envelope. I told her that it was not mine. that it belonged to Dept A.
11 49. She then went to Dept A and I assume she gave them the envelope.
12 50. I was shaken by that event. It brought it all into a focus. Everything that happened to me
13 in court in this litigation: It combined extreme dishonesty of a person in high office and a
14 position of authority. combined with willingness to break the law. even to use physical
15 force to that effect in a very crude way. Obviously it implied immunity and confidence
16 that they are above the law. Since they were part of the system. they must know. It felt
17 like something that could not happen to me in the US, but it did happen.
18 51. I was initially wavering whether to include the incident with the Supervising Judge in any
19 writing. Some smart people would have advised me that it may sound "extremist" and
20 objectionable. However. I see that type of advice in line with the position of some pricey
21 real estate attorneys that I should have never mentioned any type of fraud by Samaan in
')')
court. because it may sound objectionable to the judge. or the traditional opinion that rape
23 victim should keep it secret. because one way or another. these women brought it on
24 themselves...
25 52. All of that \\-as definitely considered when I wrok the ex parte application to restore and
26 safeguard due process rights. I hold Judge Segal in high regard. but I cannot expect a
27 relatively young judge to accept the role of an outcast in the courthouse. where he may be
28 appointed for life.

53. For that rt?ason I phrased the first proposed order, regarding assignment due by law. as a
2 II sit and wait position. But I still hold that the minimum standard of recusal in the absence
16 II appearance of Kcshavarzi before Judge Connor. on August 14. and August :~ 1, 2007,
17 II Both are still a mystery to me. If a person had reviewed the case as a whole, he would

19 II appearances was a sham. acted out in collaboration between Keshavarzi and Connor. in
20 II an attempt to mislead me. Any other account of what transpired there and what was the

expressed an extreme unease with the situation and with the need to adjudicate this case,
'")
since it may put him in an uncomfortable position with his colleagues.
3 60. I have the highest regard for Judge Segal, but I do not believe I can expect him to enter
4 such a conflict on my behalf. It appears that the reasonable solution under the
5 circumstances may be to have the case heard in a different District of the Court or
6 outside the County of Los Angeles. I believe that Supenising Judge Rosenberg would be
7 fully supportive of such a move, and therefore would not allow Judge Segall to be duly
8 assigned.

Good Morning Michael. Regarding the loan contingency, you'll need to speak to Ms. Samaan about it. I've
informed her that although the loan is approved, it's not over until the appraisal review is back. As you know, if
for some reason the appraisal is cut, we don't have a deal. That being said, Countrywide is very good with
appraisals and it's been a long-time since I've had an appraisal cut. I've reviewed the camps and the value is well
supported, but there's a~ways the possibility.
I should have the review by Friday which still gives everyone ten days until the close of escrow. Plea5ie te€1 free
to call me should you have any further questions.
Respectfully,

The median price of American homes is expected to fall this year for the first time since federal
housing agencies began keeping statistics in 1950.
Economists say the decline, which could be foreshadowed in a widely followed government
price index to be released this week, will probably be modest - from 1 percent to 2 percent -
but could continue in 2008 and 2009. Rather than being limited to the once-booming
Northeast and California, price declines are also occurring in cities like Chicago, Minneapolis
and Houston, where the increases of the last decade were modest by comparison.
The reversal is particularly striking because many government officials and housing-industry
executives had said that a natiomvide decline would never happen, even though prices had
fallen in some coastal areas as recently as the early 1990S.
While the housing slump has already rattled financial markets, it has so far had only a modest
effect on consumer spending and economic growth. But forecasters now believe that its impact
will lead to a slowdown over the next year or two.
"For most people, this is not a disaster," said Nigel Gault, an economist with Global Insight, a
research firm in Waltham, Mass. "But it's enough to cause them to pull back."
In recent years, many families used their homes as a kind of piggy bank, borrowing against
their equity and increasing their spending more rapidly than their income was rising. A recent
research paper co-written by the vice chairman of the Federal Reserve said that the rise in
home prices was the primary reason that consumer borrowing has soared since 2001.
Now, however, that financial cushion is disappearing for many families. "We are having to start
from scratch and rebuild for a down payment," said Kenneth Schauf, who expects to lose
money on a condominium in Chicago he and his wife bought in 2004 and have been tI).ing to
sell since last summer. "We figured that a home is the place to build your wealth, and now it's
going on three years and we are back to square one."
On an inflation-adjusted basis, the national median price - the level at which half of all homes
are more expensive and half are less - is not likely to return to its 2007 peak for more than a
decade. according to :Yloody's Economy.com, a research firm.
Unless the real estate downturn is much worse than economists are expecting, the declines will
not come close to erasing the increases of the last decade. And for many families who do not
plan to move, the year-to-year value of their house matters little. The drop is, of course. good
news for home buyers.
It does, however, contradict the widely held notion that there is no such thing as a nationwide
housing slump. A 2004 report jointly \-VTitten by the top economists at five organizations - the
industry groups for real estate agents, home builders and community bankers, as well as
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the large government-sponsored backers of home mortgages-
was typical. It said that "there is little possibility of a widespread national decline since there is
no national housing market."
Top government officials were more circumspect but still doubted that the prices would decline
nationally. Alan Greenspan, the former Fed chairman, said the housing market was not
susceptible to bubbles, in part because every local market is different.
In 2005, Ben S. Bernanke, then an adviser to President Bush and now the Fed chairman, said
"strong fundamentals" were the main force behind the rise in prices. "We've never had a
decline in housing prices on a nationwide basis," he added.
But Global Insight the research firm, estimates that the home-price index to be released
Thursday by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, a regulatory agency, will show
a decline of about 1 percent between the first and second quarter of this year. Other forecasters
predict that the index will rise slightly in the second quarter before falling later this year.
The government's index, which compares the sales price of individual homes over time, is
intended to describe the actual value of a typical house. Since the index began in 1975, it has
slipped from one quarter to the next on a few occasions, but it has never fallen over a full year.
Another index dating back to 1950, calculated by Freddie Mac, has also never shown an annual
decline. Price data published by the National Association of Realtors, based on the prices of
houses sold in a given year, have also never declined. According to the association, the median
home price is now about $220,000.
Mr. Schauf and his wife, Leslie Suarez, put their condo in the Sheridan Park neighborhood of
Chicago up for sale shortly before moving to Texas last year so he could take a new job. They
bought the two-bedroom unit in September 2004 for $255,000, \Vith a 5 percent down
payment. They redid the floors, installed new window treatments and repainted the walls.
They said they expected the condo to sell quickly. Instead, they have cut the price several times
and have yet to receive an offer. The current list price is $279,000, though they expect to settle
for less.
Without the money for a new down payment, they are renting an apartment in Austin. They
also expect the monthly payment on their adjustable-rate mortgage to go up $200 in October.
Ms. Suarez, who grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, says she is not as surprised because
she remembers home prices falling after the oil bust in the late 1980s. "Growing up in Texas,
real estate has never been a windfall," she said. "For me, I always just wanted to break even."
Housing prices have previously declined for long stretches in various regions. Most recently,
prices fell in California and in the Northeast during the recession of the early 1990S.
The current slump is different from that one, though, in both depth and breadth. In fact, the
national median price rose only slightly faster than inflation from 1950 to the mid-1990s.
But as interest rates fell and lending standards became looser, prices started rising rapidly in
the late 1990S, even in places like Chicago, which had rarely seen a real estate boom. The result
was a "euphoric popular delusion" that real estate was a can't-miss investment, said Edward W.
Gjertsen II, president of the Financial Planners Association of Illinois. "That's just human
nature."
Many families are clearly richer because of the boom. In the Old Town neighborhood of
Chicago, the town house that Ian R. Perschke, a technology consultant, and Jennifer Worstell,
a lawyer, bought in late 2004 has appreciated more than 30 percent, they estimated. The gain
was big enough to allow them to take out a larger mortgage and renovate two rental units in the
house. But :VIr. Perschke said he understood that he was "not going to see that appreciation
over the next three years."
Prices in Chicago peaked in September 2006 and have since dipped 1.7 percent, according to
the Case-Shiller home-price index, which is tabulated by MacroMarkets, a research firm.
For all the attention that the uninterrupted growth in national house prices received, some
economists argue that it was misplaced. The Case-Shiller index, which many experts consider
more accurate than the government measure, did show a drop in prices in the early 1990S.
(Unlike the government's measure, it includes mortgages of more than $417,000, which are
not held hy Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.)
After adjusting for inflation - the most meaningful way to look at any price, economists say-
even the government's index fell in the early 1990s.
Dean Baker, an economist in Washington who has been arguing for the last five years that
houses were overvalued, said the idea that house prices could go only up had fed the bubble.
"It was very misleading," said Mr. Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy
Research, a liberal research group. There are a lot of people, he said, who bought "homes at
hugely inflated prices who are going to take a hit. You also have a lot of people who borrowed
against those inflated prices."
Perhaps the most prominent housing booster was David Lereah, the chief economist at the
National Association of Realtors until April. In 2005, he published a book titled, "Are You
Missing the Real Estate Boom?" In 2006, it was updated and rereleased as "Why the Real
Estate Boom Will Not Bust." This year, Mr. Lereah published a new book, "All Real Estate Is
Local."
In an interview, Mr. Lereah, now an executive at Move Inc., which operates a real estate Web
site, acknowledged he had gotten it wrong, saying he did not fully realize how loose lending
standards had become and how quickly they would tighten up again this summer. But he
argued that many of his critics have also been proved wrong, because they were bearish as early
as 2002.
"The bears were bears way too early, and the bulls were bulls too late," he said. "You need to
know when you are straying from fundamentals. It's hard, when you are in the middle of the
storm, to know."

'ADen an investment banker set out to buy a 51.5 million home on Long Island last month, his
mortgage broker quoted an interest rate of 8 percent. Three days later, when the buyer said he
would take the loan, the mortgage banker had bad news: the new rate was 13 percent.
"I have been in the business 20 years and I have never seen" such a big swing in interest rates.
said the broker, Bob Moulton, president of the Americana Mortgage Group in Manhasset, N.Y.
'There is a lot of fear in the markets," he added. "When there is fear. people have a tendency to
overreact."
The investment banker's problem was that he was taking out a so-called jumbo mortgage - a
loan greater than the 5417,000 mortgage that can be sold to the federally chartered
enterprises, Freddie lVlac and Fannie ~lae. The market for large mortgages has suddenly dried
up.
For months after problems appeared in the subprime mortgage market - loans to customers
with less-than-sterling credit - government officials and others voiced confidence that the
problem could be contained to such loans. But now it has spread to other kinds of mortgages,
and credit markets and stock markets around the world are showing the effects,
Those vvith poor credit, whether companies or individuals, are finding it much harder to
borrow, if they can at all. It appears that many homeowners who want to refinance their
mortgages - often because their old mortgages are about to require sharply higher monthly
payments - vvill be unable to do so.
Some economists are trimming their grovvth outlook for the this year. fearing that businesses
and consumers win curtail spending.
"In the last 60 days, we've seen a substantial reduction in mortgage availability," said Robert
Barbera, the chief economist of lTG, a brokerage finn. "That in turn suggests that home
purchases ""ill fall further. Rising home prices were the oil that greased the wheel of this engine
of growth, and falling home prices are the sand in the gears that are causing it to grind to a
halt. "
At the heart of the contagion problem is the combination of complexity and leverage. The
securities that financed the rapid expansion of mortgage lending were hard to understand, and
some of those \":ho m\ned them had borrowed so much that even a small drop in value put
pressure on them to raise cash.
'You find surprising linkages that you never would have expected," said Richard Bookstaber, a
former hedge fund manager and author of a new book, "A Demon of Our Own Design:
~larkets, I ledge Funds and the Perils of Financial Innovation."
"What matters is who owns what, who is under pressure to sell, and what else do they own," he
said. People with mortgage securities found they could not sell them, and so they sold other
things. "If you can't sell what you want to sell," he said, "you sell what you can selL"
He recalled that the crisis that brought down the Long-Term Capital Management hedge fund
in 1998 started with Russia's default on some of its debt. Long-Term Capital had not invested
in Russia's bonds, but some of those who owned such bonds, and needed to raise cash, sold
instruments that Long-Term Capital also owned, and on which it had borrowed a lot of money.
It appears that in this case, securities backed by subprime mortgages were owned by people
who also owned securities backed by leveraged corporate loans. VVith the market for mortgage
paper drying up, and a need to raise cash, they sold the corporate securities and that market
began to suffer.
The 'Vall Street investment banker who wanted a jumbo mortgage had a good credit score, and
is not a subprime borrower. But private mOltgage securities are now hard to sell, leading to his
problem. In the end, he was able to get a mortgage ""ith a lower interest rate, but it will adjust
in five years. possibly to a much higher leveL
The size of the rate increase he faced is unusual. But all jumbo lenders have raised rates.
Bankrate.com reports that conventional 3D-year mortgages cost about 6.23 percent now, less
than they did a few weeks ago, due to a decline in Treasury bond rates. But the average jumbo
rate is now 6.94 percent. The spread between the two rates rose from less than a quarter of a
percentage point to more than two-thirds of a point.
Jumbo mortgages are most important in areas with high home prices, most notably on the East
and vVest coasts. "In California, it has shut down the purchase market," said Jeff Jaye, a
mortgage broker in the Bay area. "It has shut down the refi market.·'
The problems "vith subprime mortgages erupted as home prices began to slip in some markets,
making it harder to refinance mortgages. There were reports that a surprisingly large number
of loans made in 2006 were defaulting only months after the loans were made.
Many of those mortgages had been financed by securities, highly rated by credit agencies, that
suddenly seemed less secure than they had. Hedge funds that owned those securities, and had
borrowed against them, were asked to put up more money to secure their loans.
Two Bear Stearns hedge funds were forced to liquidate, and investors lost everything. Investors
shied away from buying new mortgage securities, and several lenders went out of business,
unable to finance the mortgage loans they had promised to make.
'With the credit gears clogged, there has been a sudden lust for cash at many levels of the
financial system. Last week banks in Europe and the United States tried to borrow so much
money that central banks had to step in to keep interest rates from rising.
"\Vhat I suspect is that there is a demand for credit by institutions that don't want to sell the
securities they own, because the bids are so low, and the banks are extending credit to them,"
said \Villiam L. Silber, a professor of economics and finance at ~ew York University and the
author of the book "\Vhen \Vashington Shut Down Wall Street: The Great Financial Crisis of
1914 and the Origins of .\merica 's Monetary Supremacy."
Fannie :\1ae and Freddie Mac, the gO\'ernment-sponsored enterprises, can still purchase
mortgages and issue securities, guaranteeing that the underlying mortgages ",ill not default.
Those guarantees are still accepted by investors, and borrowers who meet their standards -
meaning they can get so-called conforming mortgages - still can borrow. But those who want
larger mortgages, or cannot make down payments, face a harder burden.
Homeowners ",ith adjustable mortgages can refinance them at any time, so long as they qualify
for a new loan, so some facing a payment increase may be able to wait it out and refinance
later, if the market improves.
There have been sudden changes in the mortgage market before, but this one may be both
more severe and more damaging than those in the past.
In past years most borrowers had 30-year mortgages with fixed rates. If such borrower kept his
job, he usually could meet the monthly payments, even if the value of the home had declined so
Now, however, many mortgages call for sharply rising monthly payments after a few years, and
borrowers were given loans vvithout regard to their ability to meet the higher payments.
Lenders assumed the mortgage could be refinanced, and that rising home prices would assure
repayment of the loan. It became common to offer homebuyers loans to finance the entire
purchase price of a home.
In June. banking regulators ordered that adjustable-rate loans be given only to borrowers who
could afford the rate at which it was likely to be reset, meaning that many borrowers would not
qualify for refinancings even if their homes had not lost value. Such a rule three years ago
might have prevented the crisis, Mr. Barbera said, but imposing it now may worsen the
problem.
Investors made the mistake of assuming that housing prices would continue to rise. said
Dvvight M. Jaffee, a real estate finance professor at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley. "I
can °t believe these sophisticated guys made this mistake," he said. "But I would remind you
that lots of investors bought dot-com stocks,"
He added, "V,,11en you are an investor, and everybody else is doing the same thing and making
money. you often forget to ask the hard question."
.:\nd that is how a problem that began vvith Wall Street excesses that provided easy credit to
borrowers - and made it possible for people to pay more for homes - has now turned around
and severely damaged the very housing market that it helped for so long.

Sir/Madam:
Your name came: up n:cently relative to an initiative by Mr Victor Parks to get you involved in a real estate transaction,
I called your respective offices and requested that you produce evidence that Victor Parks was authorized by law to do
so . .'Jone of you provided any evidence like that.
I again repeat my demand that you produce to me any and all documents used by :VIr Parks to establish hlS legal
authority to initiate this action.
For e;<l:~m.I2k~
In the "arious SUbpoena productIOn matenals I found two types of hand signatures for Victor Parks. One r identify as
tile Korthem Callfomia lvpe, and the other is the Southern California type. But none beiiIs any semblance tc) VIctor
Parks' signature on declarations in court.
Therefore, the signature used on a PrequalUlCat;on Letter. dated Sept 7. 2004, presented by his relatiYe by marriage-
Samaan' on hjs behalf - was the Southern California type. The content of that letter had no base in reality, and
constituted Fraudulent Inducement. Tn court, Victor Parks and Salnaan, failed to include that document in subpoena
production, in fact disowning it. When I introduced it as an example of fraud perpetrated jointly by Samaan and Parks.
they tried to raise evidentiary objection to the document on the grounds of" improper authentication". With that.. in
fact, they admi tted that it was a case: of forgery.
On the other hand, Samaan's 1003. which too - had no base in reality, was signed by the Northern California type of
5ignature. In court~ they tried to introduce a copy with no signature at all. In that document the signature indicates that
Parks interviewed Samaan and entered that loan application. In deposition, Samaan stated that Parks had nothing to do
with that loan application, and that she and her husband completed it without even talking with Parks. Tn that
document Parks and Samaan evidenced Bank Fraud again,rt a Government Bac./sed Lendl!~
Also, in our transaction, Samaan (in LA) routinely sent and received fax communications imper'5onating Parks (in
\Vasrungton State at that time). That scheme that amount to Wire Fraud qgaimt a!l Individual, and also }Vir{.Fralld
qggi.!!Jf !LEl!Jall~iJlUtlstitution. Parks' fax line automatically forwarded to Samaan's fax line. And when sending
documents under his personality, she would set her machine to show no header ID.
In short. you are provided more than sufficient warning. I demand to see any documents that were presented to you as
the foundatIOn for Parks' authon!)' to initiate the title and appraisal action. These are no fraud amateurs.

Hello Dr Zemik.
Sorry it has taken me 2 days to respond to you but getting information about :VIr. Parks being authorized by
law to proceed was difficult since you provided no information abOut the nature of the problem or the legal
disputes involved with your property. You also failed to mention th·.; swmnary judgment against you.
Attacbed is a copy of the summary judgment against you that seems to legally dispute your contentions of
fraud and to allow ;-';iyie Samaan to proceed with the transaction.
Could y0u please send me copies of any appeals or reversals of this judgment or the case numbers for any

[ have never heard back from any of you following the message below. Claims of fraud and deceit
should not be lightly made, and never lightly taken by anybody operating in the financial industry.
Therefore. the utter silence is questionable ... But then again. possibly Mr Parks took his cue from Judge
Connor. who when face with similar claims, just declared that she was not admitting any of them and
recused hersel f from the case...
Michael James O'Reilly. PMC, has the duty to supervise Mr Parks, and therefore, I expect at least a
response from PMC so that I do not have to burden the California Department of Real Estate with a
complaint.

Your name came up recently relative to an initiative by Mr Victor Parks to get you involved

evidence that Victor Parks was authorized by la\v to do so. None of you provided any

In the various subpoena production materials I found two types of hand signatures for

Cali fornia type. But none bears any semblance to Victor Parks' signature on declarations in

Fraud against an Individual, and also Wire Fraud against a Financial Institution. Parks'
fax line automatically forwarded to Samaan's fax line. And when sending documents under
his personality, she would set her machine to show no header ID.
In short. you are provided more than sufficient warning. I demand to see any documents
