Mr. Bolz, 
 
As I reiterate, I am not an attorney and I plan to engage counsel as I’ve repeatedly indicated.  However, I cannot 
understand what the difference is between “scheduling a hearing” and “filing any additional pleadings, motions, etc.”   
 
“Towards the end of the May 1, 2017 hearing, Judge Ferrara asked me if, as a matter of courtesy, First American 
Bank would refrain from scheduling any hearings for 20 days (through Sunday, May 21, 2017).  I agreed with that 
request from the Court.”   
 
“At no time during the May 1, 2017 hearing (or thereafter) did I ever agree to refrain from filing any additional 
pleadings, motions, etc.” 
 
It seems very deceptive and unethical, as I believe a motion for trial is scheduling a hearing.  I would think the Judge 
Ferrara specifically requested the 20 day courtesy for the exact type of conduct which you’ve displayed in this matter. 
 
Please govern yourself accordingly.

Mr. Schneider,

I write this email to you in response to your four emails sent to me earlier today (at 11:59 a.m., 12:21
p.m., 12:43 p.m. and 1:20 p.m., respectively). Specifically, I want to provide you with those

1
documents and information that you requested. This email will also address the series of
mischaracterizations of that conversation that you and I had on Monday, May 15, 2017.

You are correct in identifying the Motion and Notice that our office filed yesterday and which we
noticed for hearing at 12:50 p.m. today. I would point out, however, that it was only after you ignored
my repeated telephone messages and emails seeking to coordinate the hearing (and after your wife
noticed her Motion to Drop Party and/or Dismiss Case on June 12, 2017) that we set the hearing.

In accordance with your request, I attach a copy of Judge Ferrara’s May 1, 2017 Order Granting
Attorney Trent’s Motion to Withdraw. I also attach a copy of Attorney Trent’s Motion for Withdraw
which was dated/served on March 22, 2017.

I have no idea what, if anything, Attorney Trent might have told you about what occurred at the May
1, 2017 hearing. The statement in your 12:01 p.m. email from earlier today indicates “… that there
were to be no filings for 20 days to allow me to obtain new counsel.” Your understanding is
incorrect. Language in the proposed Order that Attorney Trent presented to Judge Ferrara on May 1st
allowed you 20 days to obtain new counsel. Judge Ferrara specifically and unequivocally struck that
paragraph from Attorney Trent’s proposed Order. Towards the end of the May 1, 2017 hearing,
Judge Ferrara asked me if, as a matter of courtesy, First American Bank would refrain from
scheduling any hearings for 20 days (through Sunday, May 21, 2017). I agreed with that request
from the Court. First American Bank had a Court Reporter attend the hearing and you should feel
free to order the transcript of the hearing. At no time during the May 1, 2017 hearing (or thereafter)
did I ever agree to refrain from filing any additional pleadings, motions, etc. So that there is
absolutely no doubt, since May 1, 2017, both you and your wife have been representing yourselves
pro se.

When you and I spoke on May 15, 2017, you did mention to me that you were continuing to attempt
to locate counsel to replace Attorney Trent. In response, I made it perfectly clear to you that you
were welcome to obtain replacement counsel or not, in accordance with your wishes and that you
could take as much time as you desired. I also pointed out that until and unless replacement counsel
appeared, First American Bank/Keller & Bolz, LLP had no choice but to deal with you directly. At no
time during our conversation did I agree to stay any aspect of this case while you seek out
replacement counsel.

Shortly stated, you are welcome to take as much time as you like in interviewing and engaging
replacement counsel. Do not, however, expect that this office or our client are going to allow this
case to be placed “on hold” while you go through that exercise. While the statement in your 11:59
a.m. email to me “… you seemed to be receptive in allowing me to engage counsel” is correct (a
competent/professional attorney representing an adversary in litigation is invariably helpful), you
have known since March 22, 2017 that Attorney Trent was withdrawing as your legal counsel
in this litigation. While you have elected to allow two months to transpire without undertaking
any efforts to obtain replacement counsel, do not attempt to visit that inaction on your part on
our client.

We are scheduled to have a series of pre-trial matters heard/considered by Circuit Court Judge
Ferrara at 8:45 a.m. on Monday, June 12, 2017. Your deposition is scheduled for Tuesday, June 13,
2017, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Your wife’s, Stephanie Schneider, deposition is scheduled for
Wednesday, June 14, 2017, beginning at 9:30 a.m. This foreclosure case is scheduled for trial
beginning on June 28, 2017. Insofar as our office is concerned, all of these events will go forward as
scheduled.

When can you arrange for Carlos Molestina to inspect the property being foreclosed? A copy of the
Court’s March 28, 2017 Order in this regard is attached.

Finally, I take this opportunity to advise that any and all future communications between us
(pending your retention and the appearance of new counsel) must occur only in writing. I will
not be speaking with you further on the telephone.

Govern yourself accordingly.

Importance: High 

Mr. Bolz, 
 
Did you just file this motion for a hearing, after I responded to your email, in writing, within the narrow 38 minute 
window of opportunity to respond(attached).  I need these answers in writing, as I do not understand what is happening 
and need to provide communications to new counsel upon engagement, so that they can understand everything that is 
transpiring.  It seems like you are purposely taking these actions and filing this flurry of activity while you were aware 
that I was obtaining counsel by the end of this week and you agreed to allow me the time to do such.   
 
Please confirm that this is a motion that you filed at 12:50 p.m. today.  Although you did not provide me with a read 
receipt of the email, Carlos Molina did.  I have attached this for your records.   
 
Once again, I stress the urgency in your responding to my emails, so I can engage counsel and receive proper 
representation under the law.  This is very frustrating.
