filed unauthorized objections to the Defendants' initial Request For Production in April 2010,
without any legal standing and or the consent of the Defendants or the Court (Exhibit A). The
Defendants, Karen A. Krondes and John J. Krondes, did not receive any copy of the stated
unauthorized objections, but rather discovered such filing by requesting a Docket Report from
the Clerk's Office in Fort Pierce. The Court lacks jurisdiction to allow such fate responses.

RULE 1.350 PRODUCTION
OF DOCUMENTS
AND THINGS
(b) Procedure. Rule 1.350(b) clearly allows for a period of only Thirty (30) Days for which to produce a
response to a Request For Production. Rule 1.350(b) stipulates in part that ... The party to whom the
request is directed shall serve a written response within 30 days after service of the request, except that
a defendant may serve a response within 45 days after service of the process and initial pleading on that
defendant.
3. The Defendants, Karen A. Krondes and John J. Krondes, served a distinctly different and new
Second (2nd) Set Of Request For Production upon the Plaintiff EMC Mortgage Corporation.
The Second served request, dated March 17,2010, was delivered via USPS Certified Mail No.

failed to request from the court any extension of time within the legal time allowed (Emphasis
Added).
4. The Court has no Jurisdiction to allow the Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, to attempt to
file unconscionably late responses and objections to the Defendants' multiple discovery
requests, when no prior legal plea for time was requested and or granted. The Plaintiff abused
the Florida Rules Of Court and chose to ignore the Rules of Discovery and the Defendant's
Motion To Compel within proper time for pleading.
Very recent Florida Case Law has set pellucid precedent that Plaintiffs in Foreclosure
Lawsuits ignoring and failing to comply with discovery rules shall be sanctioned and such
complaints and lawsuits dismissed with prejudice. The Defendants Here-Now cite the case of
U.S. Bank National Assoc., As Trustee, ET AL vs. Ernest Harpster, 6th Judicial Circuit
Court In And For Pasco County Florida, (Case No. 51-2007-CA-6684ES).
Circuit Judge Lynn Tepper dismissed the Plaintiff's Complaint with Prejudice based on a
myriad of abuses by U.S. Bank National Assoc. and its counsel Law Offices Of David J. Stern.
The Court found that the Plaintiff failed to produce answers to Interrogatories for a period of 26
(3)
Months and further failed to produce responses to the Request For Production propounded in
July 2009 (8 Months Up to date of Dismissal).
sanction for egregious failure to comply with discovery rules, the Plaintiff shall be prohibited
from presenting the alleged Promissory Note to the Court (See Exhibit C).
5. The Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation's Complaint is deceptive, fraudulent, and a sham
pleading [Rule 1.150(a)]. EMC Mortgage Corporation filed and unlawfully served its complaint
with no legal standing, proof of its claims, and that it was the "Real Party In Interest". The
Plaintiff attached to its complaint as proof of its interest and standing an alleged Mortgage with
a distinctly different and separate entity, namely Wells Fargo Bank, N.A .. Plaintiff deceptively
and misleadingly plead that the alleged Mortgage was subsequently assigned to EMC
Mortgage Corporation by virtue of an assignment to be recorded. EMC Mortgage in reality had
no evidence at time of filing that it had any lawful interest in the Defendant's home and alleged
mortgage and or note, and or that any agreement or assignment ever existed between Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. and EMC Mortgage Corporation with respect to the subject property.
6. The Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, by and through its Counsel Law Offices Of David J.
Stern, knew and or should have known that the allegations in its complaint were materially
false, as Florida Law and the Florida Rules Of Civil Procedure mandate that all such contracts,
notes, mortgages, assignments, or other document supporting the claims of the complaint, are
required to be attached and thus part of the whole of the complaint as proof of valid evidence.
7. The Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation ignored Florida Law and failed to attach a valid
Assignment Of Mortgage to its complaint; thus as a matter of law said complaint has no legal
sufficiency and is void. It is a requirement in Florida, pursuant to F.R.C.P. Rule 1.130(a), to
attach any and all Instruments, Contracts, and or other documents material to the pleadings,
showing proof of standing.
(4)
Florida Rules of Civil Procedure
RULE 1.130 ATTACHING
(a) Instruments Attached. All bonds, notes, bills of exchange, contracts, accounts, or documents upon
which action may be brought or defense made, or a copy thereof or a copy of the portions thereof
material to the pleadings, shall be incorporated in or attached to the pleading.
8. Plaintiff, in Count I of the Complaint, further made intentional fallacious claim that it was the
owner and that it holds the Note and Mortgage.
and puzzlingly discloses that it is not presently in possession of the original Note and
Mortgage. The herein stated inconsistent claims in EMC Mortgage Corp's Complaint allege
facts that cancel each other out, and leave said Plaintiff with no credibility and no definitive
statement of facts (See Exhibit D).
9. The Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, deceptively states in its Complaint that the Note and
Mortgage are lost, destroyed or stolen, without disclosing to the Court and Defendants which
of these wavering scenarios is their alleged true claim.
10. EMC Mortgage Corporation declares in its Complaint that it cannot obtain possession of the
Note and Mortgage because their whereabouts cannot be determined.
Law Offices Of David J. Stern have a never ending duty to disclose new evidence; and at no
time have ever filed any pleading, or served any party to this action with proper "legal
notification" that Plaintiff has found the original Note and Mortgage.
Defendants, Karen A.
Krondes and John J. Krondes, allege that any attempt to produce in this action an original Note
and Mortgage is a fraud upon the court, and such documents are believed to be illegally
manufactured, should be stricken and disallowed as evidence.
11. The Florida Supreme Court recently amended F.R.C.P. Rule #1.110(b) making it mandatory
that mortgage foreclosure complaints be verified. The Supreme Court specifically noted that
the primary purposes of this new amendment are in part to conserve judicial resources that are
(5)
currently being wasted on inappropriately pleaded "lost note" counts and inconsistent
allegations.
harm resulting from suits brought by Plaintiffs not entitled to enforce the note; and to allow
courts greater authority to sanction plaintiffs who make false allegations.
12. The First District Court of Appeals in Ohio has set crucial recent foreclosure case law, in Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Byrd (2008), in where a Plaintiff who fails to submit proof that it is the
"Real Party In Interest" when the complaint is filed is subject to dismissal with prejudice.
"A party lacks standing to invoke the jurisdiction of a court unless he has, in an individual
or a representative capacity, some real interest in the subject matter of an action." Wells
Fargo Bank, v. Byrd, 178 Ohio App.3d 285, 2008-0hio-4603,
897 N.E.2d 722 (2008). It
went on to hold, " If plaintiff has offered no evidence that it owned the note and mortgage
when the complaint was filed, it would not be entitled to judgment as a matter of law."
13. Florida Rules Of Civil Procedure, Rule 1.420(b) provides, in relevant part, that "any party may
move for dismissal of an action or of any claim against that party for failure of an adverse party
to comply with these rules or any order of the court."
14. The Plaintiff's Complaint is purported by typed name, to have been written by Karina M.
Musella; although, it appears that a second person is listed on the signature line as signing for
Attorney Musella. Both signatures are illegible and unidentifiable.
allegations are invalid due to either or both, concealment of the true signor and author, and or
fraud by false and leqally unauthorized presentment by a third party on behalf of the interests
of Karina M. Musella (See Exhibit D - Pg. 3).
15. The Defendants filed an Answer and Counterclaim to the Plaintiff's Complaint on March 5,
2009 initially by Fax Transmission.
The Plaintiff has failed within the initial Thirty (30) Days
and to this date to file an Answer to the Defendants' Counterclaim as required by F.R.C.P. Rule 1.1OO(a). EMC Mortgage Corporation has violated Florida Rules Of Pleading, has no
standing, and is barred from any attempt at answering said Counterclaim Fourteen (14)
Months after its filing.
(6)
16. The improper and unlawful Judgment in this Foreclosure Lawsuit has already been vacated
due to the alleged myriad of misconduct of the Plaintiff, its agents, and or counsel, Law
Offices Of David J. Stern. Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, together with its servicing
agent Provest LLC, and or Law Offices Of David J Stern, falsely claimed it had served the
Defendants lawfully with the Complaint in this matter; all the while having knowledge through
the attached exhibit information (Wells Fargo Mortgage), "alleged Mortgage", that Defendants
Karen A Krondes and John J Krondes did not live at the addresses as purported, but at the
Homestead Address of 110 Woodside Green, #2A, Stamford, CT 06905. Plaintiff was earlier
able to unconscionably attain a Default Judgment against said Defendants, while they were
unaware of this action and its pleadings, as all such documents were mailed to incorrect and
invalid addresses.
17. The Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, Lacks Standing. The presentment of materially false
statements and claims of ownership are a Fraud Upon The Court. EMC Mortgage Corporation
is not the "Real Party In Interest" and is not authorized to bring or maintain this foreclosure
action.
18. The Defendants, Karen A Krondes and John J Krondes Here-Now respectfully ask the Court to
dismiss the above-cited action pursuant to the Florida Rules Of Civil Procedure, Rules
1.210(a), 1.140(a)(1 )&(b)(7), and 1.130(a) respectively.
commenced, said Plaintiff had no proof that it was the "Real Party In Interest".
19. This Honorable Court lacks Subject Matter Jurisdiction to allow this lawsuit and fraudulent
foreclosure attempt to continue [F.R.C.P., Rule 1.140(b)(1)].
20. Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, and counsel Law Offices Of David J Stern knowingly
made materially false representations to the Court and Defendants by the mendacious claims
made in its complaint, with such declarations having the express purpose of misleading and
(7)
deceiving the reader. Said parties falsely stated in Count I that this Court has jurisdiction over
the subject matter in their Complaint.
21.ln determining whether the plaintiffs come before this Court with clean hands, the primary
factor to be considered is whether the plaintiffs sought to mislead or deceive the other party,
not whether that party relied upon plaintiffs' misrepresentations.
Pursuant to
Florida Law, only Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. would legally have been able to initiate the abovecited action.
23. Plaintiff failed to attach to the Complaint any valid legal evidence that EMC Mortgage
Corporation had any relationship to the original alleged lender Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
Plaintiff's "legally insufficient" Complaint at best, illustrates that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., a
different and separate non-joined company, may have had some prior relationship and
agreement with the Defendants Karen A. Krondes and John J. Krondes.
24. According to Plaintiff's own spurious and misleading account of standing, EMC Mortgage
Corporation legally has stated in its Complaint that at the time of filing of this action, some
other person(s) and or entity other than Plaintiff was in possession of the alleged Note and
Mortgage, confirming that alleged ownership and standing belonged to a party(s) other than
Plaintiff. EMC Mortgage Corp. further stated that it cannot reasonably obtain possession of the
alleged Note and Mortgage because their whereabouts cannot be determined.
25. The copy of the complaintand specificallythe Exhibitsso attached,servedimproperlyuponthe Defendants,
were completelyillegiblewith numeroussectionsand lines stricken,and blackedout with dark BlackLines.
(8)
26. The Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, is legally barred from entering into evidence any
alleged proof of standing per its refusal to address such demand for proof and accounting in
multiple served Requests For Production.
27. EMC Mortgage is not the "Real Party In Interest", had no proof of such at commencement of
this lawsuit showing authorization to bring this action in Florida. In re: Shelter Development
Group, Inc., 50 B.R. 588 (Bankr. S.D.Fla. 1985) [It is axiomatic that a suit cannot be
prosecuted to foreclose a mortgage which secures the payment of a promissory note, unless
the Plaintiff actually holds the original note, citing Downing v. First National Bank of Lake City,
81 SO.2d 486 (Fla. 1955)]; Your Construction Center, Inc. v. Gross, 316 SO.2d 596 (Fla. 4th
DCA 1975), See also 37 Fla. Jur. Mortgages and Deeds of Trust '240 (One who does not have
the ownership, possession, or the right to possession of the mortgage and the obligation
secured by it, may not foreclose the mortgage).
(9)
judgment by servicing legal documents to the Defendants at addresses which such parties
knew and or should have known were invalid.
31. The factual claims made by the Defendants in their Motion To Vacate Judgment, Motion For
Rehearing, and Counterclaim are incorporated herein this Motion and together with the
charges made above and throughout this motion provide sufficient evidence that the Plaintiff
and its counsel Law Offices Of David J Stern engaged in fraud and persisted with an illegal
purpose to seek foreclosure on the Defendants' home.
32. Whereas, per provision of F.R.C.P. 1.540(b), this Court has jurisdiction to Dismiss This Lawsuit
with Prejudice upon such finding of Unconscionable and irresponsible conduct.
33. After Reversal Of Plaintiff's Judgment per Order Of The Court on 6/4/2009
in the above-cited
Krondes Case, EMC Mortgage Corporation (Plaintiff) and its counsel Law Offices Of David J
Stern have had over One (1) Year to produce sufficient valid evidence to prove its case.
During the stated time period, Plaintiff has refused and or otherwise failed to comply with the
Defendants' multiple discovery requests within authorized and accepted time for pleading.
Through its injudicious violations of Florida Rules Of Pleading and as a result of Plaintiff's
quietus, EMC Mortgage Corporation is juridically barred from further attempts to offer
evidence, specifically of the nature of which was sought through discovery; and thus, has
legally failed to prove its case.
34.ln the year following the vacating of the Judgment in this matter, numerous courts in the State
Of Florida and throughout America have began to discover that the implementation of fraud
and misrepresentation
Rampant.
On April 30, 2010, the Tampa Tribune reported that the Attorney General Of The
(10)
investigating the firm, Tampa-based Florida Default Law Group, for what "appears to be
fabricating and/or presenting false and misleading documents in foreclosure cases."
35. Plaintiff's counsel Law Offices Of David J Stern in very recent months has had scores of its
own Foreclosure Lawsuits Dismissed with Prejudice and Judgments Vacated as a result of the
increased scrutiny of judges and courts in Florida. Pasco County Florida Circuit Judge Lynn
Tepper in a recent interview stated The deluge of foreclosures makes the process "fraught with
potential for fraud". On March 25, 2010, in the case of US. Bank National Association, As
Trustee, Et AL vs. Ernest E. Harpster (Case No. 51-2007 -CA-6684ES) 6th Jud. Circuit Court
For Pasco County, Judge Lynn Tepper dismissed the Plaintiff's complaint and case with
prejudice based on amongst other things, the recording and filing of a fraudulent Assignment
Of Mortgage and fraud intentionally perpetrated upon the Court by Plaintiff and its counsel Law
Offices Of David J Stern (See Exhibit C).
On March 11,2010, in Brevard County, pursuant to F.R.C.P. 1.540(b), the Judgment Of
Foreclosure was vacated in another Stern case Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, As
Trustee, ET AL vs. Rom Mak, ET AL (Case No. 05-2007-CA-19763).
Court in Brevard County found that the foreclosure proceeding instituted by Plaintiff and its
counsel Law Offices Of David J Stern was fraudulently initiated without the Plaintiff having
legal standing and proof of ownership or possession of the Note and Mortgage.
36. Notably, In the recent case of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. vs. Christopher J. Chesney. ET AL
(Case No. 51-2009-CA-006905)
Court Judge Stanley R. Mills on February 22, 2010 Ordered that Defendant's Motion To
Dismiss is Granted; as Plaintiff failed to attach a valid assignment to the Complaint.
The court
found that the Note and Mortgage attached to the Complaint were in favor of Washington
Mutual, not the current Plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank, N.A in that case.
(11 )
37. Defendants' additionally cite one of the newest Florida Foreclosure cases: US Bank National
Association, As Trustee, ET AL vs. William Shane McLeod, ET AL (Case No. 55-2008-CA2124) in the
ih
Judicial Circuit Court For St. Johns County. On May 7,2010, pursuant to
F.R.C.P. - Rule 1.540(b), Circuit Court Judge J. Michael Traynor Dismissed With Prejudice the
stated case based on fraudulent misrepresentations
Interest. The Court found that the US Bank National Assoc suit was fraudulently filed, as
Plaintiff was not the true owner of the Note and Mortgage at the time the action was filed. On
5/10/2010 the Attorney General initiated an Investigation of the instant case and Plaintiff's
Counsel, Florida Default Law Group, Court Entry No. 50.0000.
38. The Affidavits filed in this foreclosure action by Plaintiff, its counsel, and or other agents are
fraudulent, defective, made in bad faith and with intent to deceive (Exhibits E, F, G, H, I).
39. The calculated construction and filing of false, misleading, and invalid affidavits constitutes
conduct which is unconscionable and provides grounds for dismissal with prejudice per
statutory provision of F.R.C.P. Rule 1.540(b), 1.510(e)(g), 1.420(b), 1.150.
40. Florida Rule 1.51 O(e) stipulates Affidavits of a party seeking Summary Judgment ....
"shall be made on personal knowledge, shall set forth such facts as would be admissible in
evidence, and shall show affirmatively that the affiant is competent to testify to the matters
stated therein. Sworn or certified copies of all papers or parts thereof referred to in an affidavit
shall be attached thereto or served therewith. The court may permit affidavits to be
supplemented or opposed by depositions, answers to interrogatories, or by further affidavits.

41. Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, its counsel Law Offices Of David J Stern, and its agent
ProVest LLC, knowingly and with intent to facilitate an unlawful speedy default judgment in this
(12)
matter, provided alleged service of process upon the Defendants at addresses which such
parties knew and or should have known were incorrect and invalid (Exhibits E, F, J).
42. Plaintiff in COUNT I, paragraph 5 of its Complaint purports to own and hold the alleged Note
and Mortgage.
alleged Mortgage apparently between Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Karen A Krondes and John
Krondes. The subject exhibit, page 1 of 27 clearly states the Homestead Address of the
Defendants/Grantors
43. Despite having exact knowledge of Defendants' true and correct homestead address, Plaintiff,
EMC Mortgage Corporation, its counsel Law Offices Of David J Stern, and its agent ProVest
LLC, conspired to claim personal In-Hand/lndividual
Defendant Karen A. Krondes at the address of 360 West 34th Street, Apartment 5H, New York,
NY 10001 (See Exhibit E).
44. Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, its counsel Law Offices Of David J Stern, and its agent
ProVest LLC, caused to have filed on 2/4/2008 a knowingly false Affidavit Of Service,
unambiguously asserting that a copy of the Complaint was hand delivered to Karen A. Krondes
at the above-stated Manhattan address on 1/17/08, even though Ms. Krondes had moved from
that address on11/30/2006 to the above-cited Stamford Connecticut homestead
locatiorulixhibits
E & J).
45. Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, its counsel Law Offices Of David J Stern, and its agent
ProVest LLC, additionally caused to have filed on 2/4/2008 a Second (2nd) knowingly false
Affidavit Of Service, unambiguously asserting that a copy of the Complaint was delivered on
1/19/08 to the Usual Place Of Abode of John Krondes at 491 White Oak Shade Rd., New
Canaan, CT 06840, although John Krondes never lived at this address and such parties had
exact knowledge that Mr. Krondes lived in a different town at the address of 110 Woodside
Green, Stamford, CT 06905 (See Exhibit F).
(13)
46.The Plaintiff, EMC Mortgage Corporation, by and through its counsel Law Offices Of David J
Stern constructed and caused to be filed a fraudulent and fallacious Affidavit In Support Of
Plaintiff's Motion For Summary Judgment on 2/13/2009.
they had filed a sham Complaint, untruthfully and reprehensibly make claim in the stated
affidavit that EMC is the owner and holder of the Note and Mortgage, when in fact such parties
were knowingly concealing material information that Plaintiff had no standing and authority to
institute the above-cited Krondes foreclosure action, and that a distinctly different entity Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. was the alleged "Real Party In Interest" (See Exhibit G).
47. The Affidavit In Support Of Plaintiff's Motion For Summary Judgment is made in "bad faith"
and constitutes a Sham Pleading per F.R.C.P. 1.150, and is further in violation of Rule
1.510(e)(g). The stated affidavit is not based on personal knowledge as Rule 1.51 O(e)
mandates, as the true withheld personal knowledge of the maker(s) of this affidavit is that
Plaintiff had no proof of legal standing at time of filing of this action and thus, there was no
default, and no money was owed to this Plaintiff EMC Mortgage as alleged in the subject
affidavit (Exhibit G)
48. Paragraph #4 of the Affidavit In Support Of Plaintiff's Motion For Summary Judgment is a
willful and known misrepresentation.
clearly knew that they were making a materially false statement of facts by declaring that "each
and every allegation in the Complaint is true." (See Exhibit G)
49. The wavering allegations in the Plaintiffs Complaint and the misstatements in the subject
Affidavit In Support Of Plaintiff's Motion For Summary Judgment conflict with each other and
legally cancel each other out. In said affidavit, Plaintiff and its counsel claim EMC Mortgage is
the holder of said Note and Mortgage, when in fact said parties knew Wells Fargo Was the
alleged holder, as the complaint alleged there would be an assignment "to be recorded",
possibly sometime in the future. Secondly, Plaintiff definitively claimed in COUNT II of the
Complaint that it was not in possession of the original Note and Mortgage, and that their
(14)
whereabouts cannot be determined; hence, making it a legal impossibility to be the holder of
the stated documents (See Exhibits D & G).
50. When exhibits are inconsistent with Plaintiff's allegations of material fact as to who the real
party in interest is, such allegations cancel each other out. Fladell v. Palm Beach County
Canvassing Board, 772 SO.2d 1240 (Fla. 2000); Greenwald v. Triple D Properties, Inc., 424
So. 2d 185, 187 (Fla.

testimony first says in Paragraph 3, that she has direct access to the business records of the
Plaintiff concerning the alleged Note and Security Agreement, the Mortgage and other loan
documents which are the subject of this lawsuit. Ms Samons undecidedly also states that "or
have been provided" with such stated documents.
really saying that neither statement is true and verifiable, and no such evidence was ever
proven to be in her possession at the time of filing of said affidavit on 2/13/2009 (Exhibit G).
53. Cheryl Samons, in representation of Law Offices of David J Stern and allegedly EMC
Mortgage, purports to have personal knowledge of the facts stated above regarding the
alleged Note and Mortgage. Such personal knowledge was allegedly gained by access or
release of mortgage documents by an undisclosed, unverified alleged "person with knowledge"
(See Exhibit G).
(15)
54. The alleged subject Affidavit In Support Of Plaintiff's Motion For Summary Judgment.
supposedly made by Cherly Samons, is purported to be notarized; however the document is
not dated, leaving the notarization incomplete and the entire document legally invalid, void,
and powerless.
The failure to provide the date certain of the notorial act is a violation of
well established that an attorney cannot testify and authenticate documents for a client where
counsel was not a party, and has no personal knowledge of the facts and transaction, See Key
Bank of Me. v. Lis;, 225 AD2d 669, 669 (2d Dept 1996).
56. Cheryl Samons, the alleged Maker and signor of the stated Affidavit In Support Of Plaintiff's
Motion For Summary Judgment in this lawsuit was recently deposed, on May
zo", 2009,
in
another relevant foreclosure case Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, As Trustee, ET AL
vs. Belourdes Pierre, ET AL (Case No. 50-2008-CA-028558)
Palm Beach County. Cardinally, the testimony given by Ms. Samons in the herein stated case
is a stark realization that virtually every affidavit and or other document made or signed by
Cheryl Samons on behalf of Law Offices Of David J. Stern is a fraudulent instrument.
Ms.
Samons makes admission that she literally walks from floor to floor in the Four (4) Floor Stern
Office, signing well over a hundred assignments and affidavits a day, without reading any of
them. Cheryl Samons, who while acting in an alleged official capacity in such documents,
attests to having personal knowledge of the facts set forth within. Shockingly, and with
extreme contrast, Cheryl Samons admits in the herein cited deposition to having no
knowledge whatsoever of what she's signing [Emphasis Added] (See Exhibits G & L).
(16)
57.The other attached Affidavits in support of Plaintiff's Motion For Summary Final
Judgment (which has already been vacated), are likewise void and serve no legal
purpose, as they also fail to show an exact date certain of the notarized act, making
such documents invalid and unusable per Florida Law; Florida Statute 117.05(4)(d) Use
Of Notary Commission; Unlawful Use (See Exhibits H & I).
58. Founded upon the personal testimony of Cheryl Samons in the above-cited Deutsche
Bank deposition, that she signs hundreds of different documents a day, without knowing
what she's signing, and the striking resemblance of the unidentifiable, large circle like
signatures of Cheryl Samons and Attorney Karina Musella on such legal documents and
pleadings; the Defendant's Karen A. Krondes and John Krondes allege and charge
that Cheryl Samons is committing a fraud by illegally signing legal papers as an
unauthorized third party for other individuals, purporting and representing to be
someone else other than Cheryl Samons. On April 29, 2010, relevantly, David J. Stern

of the United States and of various states and jurisdictions of the United
States cited herein the full faith and credit that Article IV, Section I of the United States
(18)
Constitution commands; that Defendants claim the due process and equal protection under
those favorable statutes and judicial decisions outside of Florida.
JURISDICTION OF THE 19th JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURT FOR ST. LUCIE COUNTY
1. Defendants Here-Now address this Court and all parties concerned and provide proper
legal "Notice", that the 19th Judicial Circuit Court in St. Lucie County, Florida has the absolute
power and jurisdiction to hear and ultimately grant defendants' verified Motion and Request to
Dismiss this matter With Prejudice based on several lawful and ethical grounds.
Defendants Make Affirmatively Known, that they bring and addresses this Motion to the
sound discretion of the Court for its adjudication.
United States Of America and the State Of Florida attest that this Court has intrinsic
power, independent of statutory provision, to vacate any judgment and or dismiss with
prejudice any foreclosure lawsuit filed and or obtained by fraud, duress, unconscionability or
gross and inexcusable negligence. Such stated conditions hence reflect the current destructive
state of affairs in the State Of Florida, with respect to the epidemic and plague of foreclosure
filings laden with fraud which is unlawfully displacing our citizens and ruining our economy.
Defendants raise the point, that this court has no Jurisdiction to allow a Plaintiff to maintain
an action of foreclosure based on a fatally defective complaint which is a misrepresentation
of
known facts, based on hearsay, fails to identify the "Real Party In Interest", and ultimately
neglects to state a recognizable legal claim.
1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that this Court has no Jurisdiction to allow any attorney to testify
or authenticate evidence for its client. All testimony and affirmations offered by counsel on
behalf of a client is "Hearsay" under the rules of evidence and generally cannot advance
substantive proof. It is further prohibited under Florida Law for an Attorney to knowingly
make false statements of material fact or law to a tribunal or fail to correct a false
statement of material fact or law previously made to the tribunal by the lawyer. All
agreements concerning a Lawyer's representation of a client must accord with the Florida
Rules of Professional Conduct and other law (See rules 4-3.3(a)(2)(4), 4-1.2(d), 4-3.4(b), 48.4(c), 4-8.4(d)). An attorney offering testimony for a client based on material facts of which he

See Key Bank of Me. vs. Lisi, 225 AD2d 669, 669 (2d Dept 1996)
("affirmation of ... attorney who had no personal knowledge of the facts ... did not constitute
proof in admissible form and it [is] without evidentiary value").
2. It is a matter of law that the Court must strike any alleged fact advanced by counsel that is not
supported by an affidavit or other authenticated document(s) from Plaintiff or by Plaintiff's
corporate representative(s) that is a proven competent fact witness with personal knowledge of
the claims, facts and documents (to authenticate) employed by Plaintiff in this matter. See

WHEREFORE, the Defendants, Karen A. Krondes and John J. Krondes, in this matter of EMC
Mortgage Corporation
Vs. Karen A. Krondes, ET AL., respectfully move this Court to Dismiss the
Plaintiff's Action with Prejudice, and award Defendants any other and further relief which is deemed
just and proper, based on all the foregoing truthful and lawful facts. For reasons of the
implementation by Plaintiff, its counsel, and its agents of Fraud and Unconscionable conduct, coupled

The
following detailed account of the malfeasance of EMC Mortgage Corp., Law Offices Of David J.
Stern, ProVest LLC, and or other agents, is clear evidence that the six factors giving rise to
Dismissal With Prejudice, outlined in Kozel by the Florida Supreme Court, have been expressly
met (All prior pleadings by the Defendants and such evidence as cited throughout this motion is
incorporated) :
a. The disobedience and misconduct described above, throughout this motion, illustrated
through included case law, and incorporated as previously stated by Plaintiff's counsel, Law
Offices Of David J Stern, was willful and deliberate.
not isolated to this case, nor example and possibility of mistake; contrarily, Law Offices of
(25)
David J Stern has employed many of the identical calculated fraudulent and inappropriate
methods and acts in like foreclosure actions all over the State Of Florida. Recent case law
previously cited within this motion stands as confirmation and justification for dismissal with
prejudice.
b. Plaintiff's counsel has very recently and within the past year had numerous judgments
vacated, complaints and foreclosure actions dismissed with prejudice as a sanction for its
misconduct.
c. Defendants charge upon information and belief, that EMC Mortgage was involved in the
disobedience, as it both directly and or indirectly, manifested to Law Offices Of David J
Stern to avoid compliance with such laws and rules. Further, EMC Mortgage provided its
counsel with much of the information for which to manufacture fraudulent tools.
d. The stated and incorporated disobedience of Law Offices of David J Stern and EMC
Mortgage has prejudiced and harmed the Defendants in many fashions.
First, The
Defendants and their family have been burdened with perpetual stress and emotional harm
over the lengthy ongoing fraud and deception of the stated parties. Second, The
Defendants have incurred mounting costs in the defense of this action and the protection of
their home. Third, there has been undue delay in this action stemming from the deceit and
unconscionable acts of the stated parties, and hence, the necessary steps taken to uncover
the fraud and misconduct of the Plaintiff, its counsel and agents.
e. Plaintiff's counsel, Law Offices Of David J Stern have at no time offered any valid and
reasonable justification for its non-compliance.
compliant issues frequently appear to be a constant theme in the litigation strategy of the
Stern Law Operation.
(26)
f.
The above and herein stated misconduct, disobedience and gross disrespect of Florida
Laws and Rules of Court, by Plaintiff, Law Offices Of David J Stern, and its agents, in the
current case and others throughout Florida, have greatly caused systematic problems,
clogged the judicial machinery, spurred investigations, caused unusual delays, and is a
hindrance and havoc on the administration of justice.
II. Plaintiff Meets None Of The Criteria For Standing Under Florida Law
1. Standing requires that the party prosecuting the action have a sufficient stake in the outcome
and that the party bringing the claim be recognized in the law as being a real party in interest
entitled to bring the claim. This entitlement to prosecute a claim in Florida courts rests
exclusively in those persons granted by substantive law, the power to enforce the claim.
Kumar Corp. vs. Nopal Lines, Ltd, et aI, 462 So. 2d 1178, (Fla. 3d DCA 1985).
2. Under Florida Law, A separate entity cannot maintain suit on a note payable to another entity
unless the requirements of Rule 1.21 O(a) of the Florida Rules Of Civil Procedure and
applicable Florida Law are met. Corcoran vs. Brody, 347 So. 2d 689 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977).
3. Florida Rules Of Civil Procedure, Rule 1.130(a) requires a Plaintiff in a Foreclosure Action to
attach copies of all bonds, notes, bills of exchange, contracts, accounts, or documents upon
which action may be brought to its complaint.
to attach any document pursuant to Florida Law that supports the allegations in its Complaint
and subsequent pleadings.
4. The Exhibit "A" provided and affixed to the Complaint by Plaintiff (alleged Mortgage by Karen
A. Krondes and John Krondes with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.) fails to prove standing; clearly and
discordantly shows that another separate entity, if any, is the "Real Party In Interest". When
exhibits are inconsistent with Plaintiff's allegations of material fact as to who the real party in
interest is, such allegations cancel each other out. Fladell vs. Palm Beach County Canvassing
Board, 772 So. 2d 1240 (Fla. 2000); Greenwald vs. Triple 0 Properties, Inc., 424 So. 2d 185,
(27)
187 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983); Costa Bella Development Corp. vs. Costa Development Corp., 441
So. 2d 1114 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1983).
5. A Plaintiff must conclusively establish that it owned the note and mortgage at the time of filing
or the complaint must fail. The Plaintiff's failure to attach an assignment was condemned in
Jeff-Ray Corporation vs. Jacobson, 566 So. 2d 885 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990). See also Progressive
Express Insurance Company vs. McGrath Community Chiropractic, 913 So. 2d 1281 (Fla. 2d
DCA 2005); and BAC Funding Consortium, Inc. vs. Jean-Jacques, et aI., So. 3d, 2010 WL
476641 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010).
III. Asignments and Affidavits Based On Hearsay Are Not Admissible Evidence In Florida
1. In the case of GMAC Mortgage, LLC vs. Debbie Visicaro, et ai, 6th Judicial Circuit Court in
Pinellas County (Case No. 50-2008-CA-028558),
Rondolino in ruling on Hearsay stated "I'm also enlightened by Jones Versus Florida Workers'
Compensation, which is a 2001 2nd District case that finds that the affidavit was insufficient in
that it had allegations that all the assertions and allegations in the complaint are true, that kind
of an affidavit is insufficient" (Hearing before Hon. Anthony Rondolino, April 7, 2010, transcript
pg. 20, lines16-22).
2. Judge Anthony Rondolino in the above-cited case, Hearing of April 7, 2010 further stated, "I
also reviewed Hurricane Boats versus Certified Industrial Fabricators and found that affidavit to
be insufficient when it related to the allegations in the complaint being true" (transcript,
4/7/2010, pg. 20, lines 23-25 & pg. 21, lines 1-2).
3. Regarding the inadmissibility of false and misleading "Hearsay" affidavits in foreclosure
lawsuits, Judge Anthony Rondolino, in Hearing on April 7,2010, in the matter of GMAC
Mortgage, LLC vs. Debbie Visicaro, et ai, 6th Judicial Circuit Court in Pinellas County (Case
No. 50-2008-CA-028558),
by the Court said exactly, "You know what I'd really like to see? I'd
like to see in one of these cases where a defense lawyer cross-examines, takes a deposition
(28)
of these people, and we can see whether they ought be charged with perjury for all of these
affidavits" (transcript, 4/7/2010, pg. 15, lines 20-25).
4. In Florida, even statements made in official Police Reports are considered Hearsay and are
deemed unsubstantiated and thus inadmissible as evidence.
v.
Kunderas, 910 So. 2d 953, 954 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005) (noting that affidavit in support of action for
reformation based on mutual mistake was incompetent when it contained allegations
concerning matters about which the affiant could not have personal knowledge).
6. In Florida, abundant case law has well established precedent that Affidavits which are not
based upon the affiant's personal knowledge must be stricken. Defendants cite the case of
Capello v. Flea Market U.S.A., Inc., 625 So. 2d 474 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993). In the Capello case,
the Third District affirmed an order of summary judgment in favor of Flea Market U.S.A as
Capello's affidavit in opposition was not based upon personal knowledge and therefore
contained inadmissible hearsay evidence.
136 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993); Mullan v. Bishop of Diocese of Orlando, 540 So. 2d 174 (Fla. 5th
DCA 1989); Crosby v. Paxson Electric Company, 534 So. 2d 787 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988); Page v.
Stanlev, 226 So. 2d 129 (Fla. 4th DCA 1969).
(29)
IV. A Foreclosure
1. Landmark National Bank v. Kesler, 289 Kan. 528,216 P.3d 158 (2009). "Kan. Stat. Ann. 60260(b) allows relief from a judgment based on mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable
neglect; newly discovered evidence that could not have been timely discovered with due
diligence; fraud or misrepresentation;
released, discharged, or is no longer equitable; or any other reason justifying relief from the
operation of the judgment. The relationship that the registry had to the bank was more akin to
that of a straw man than to a party possessing all the rights given a buyer." Also In September
of 2008, A California Judge ruling against MERS concluded, "There is no evidence before the
court as to who is the present owner of the Note. The holder of the Note must join in the
motion."
2.
Sufficient "Good Cause" to permanently vacate a judgment and dismiss action with prejudice
is the showing of fraud to the Court (See Fla.R.C.P., Rule 1.540). The presentment in a court
of False testimony either orally and or by submission of known fallacious statements of fact in
Affidavits or Assignements of Mortgage constitute Intrinsic Fraud. See Deelaire v. Yohaman,
453 So. 2d 375,377 (Fla. 1984).
3. Pursuant to Florida Rule 1.540, a Florida Court has the absolute intrinsic power and jurisdiction
to vacate and dismiss an action due to fraud and unconscionability.
terms as are just, the court may relieve a party or a party's legal representative from a final
judgment, decree, order, or proceeding for the following reasons: (3) fraud (whether heretofore
denominated intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation,
(4) that the judgment or decree is void.
(30)
4.
The integrity of the civil litigation process depends on 'truthful disclosure" of facts. A system
that depends on an adversary's ability to uncover falsehoods is doomed for failure. Cox v.
Burke, 706 SO.2d 43, 47 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998).
5. Numerous Judges throughout the State of Florida have lamented the minority of lawyers and
parties that abuse the discovery process and litigation; See The Fla. Bar vs. Miller, 863 SO.2d
231 (Fla. 2003).
6. In the State Of Florida, Honesty in filing and prosecuting of Foreclosure Lawsuits is paramount.
Defendants cite the case of Baker vs. Myers Tractor Services in stressing the view of Florida
Courts on the importance of Honest and Ethical Conduct; "honesty is not a luxury to be
invoked at the convenience of a litigant, but rather, complete candor must be demanded in
order to preserve the ability of this court to effectively administer justice." Baker v. Mvers
Tractor Services, Inc., 765 SO.2d 149,150 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000).
7. The court's power to impose an involuntary dismissal exists because no litigant has the right to
trifle with the courts. Morgan v. Campbell, 816 SO.2d 251,252 (Fla. 2nd DCA 2002).
8. The decision and power to dismiss a Plaintiff's Foreclosure Action in Florida lies in the
discretion and hands of the Court. The right to dismiss an action is also an obligation of the
court to deter fraudulent claims from proceeding in court. Savino v. Fla. Drive In Theatre, 697
SO.2d 1011, 1012 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997).
