Mark P. Stopa, Esq.

BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP v. DiGiovanni Hillsborough County Case No. 09-CA-32150

Your Honor: I am in receipt of your September 15, 2011 Order wherein, you denied Defendants Motion to Quash, without notice or hearing, based on your belief Defendant waived his jurisdictional challenge by filing of a motion for extension of time. Respectfully, this ruling is directly contrary to controlling case law, which is set forth in the attached motion. Respectfully, it is very disappointing to lose on an issue like this when I never had an opportunity to be heard, particularly when its clear to me that the Courts ruling is erroneous. In other words, while I can understand the Courts desire to move cases along and not have hundreds of hearings on the exact same issue (like is arguably the case with the Motion to Dismiss), I dont think the recent Administrative Order was intended for the Court to adjudicate issues that are not boilerplate foreclosure issues or to deprive Defendants of the right to be heard on such matters. After all, whether a motion for extension waives the right to challenge service of process is not a matter you hear every day, as if it were, you would have been aware of the law cited in the attached motion. Hence, I must respectfully request, in the future, that my clients be afforded hearings on such matters, as otherwise it just creates more time and expense for everyone involved. Finally, as if this were not uncomfortable enough already, it is incumbent upon me to note that the attached motion does not toll the time for my client to appeal your Order. Hence, unless you reverse your ruling on the Motion to Quash before October 13, 2011, my client will have no choice but to seek review in the Second District. As the law on this issue is clear, I submit it would be appropriate for this Court to take appropriate action before that time, be it a rehearing or a stay pending appeal.
