Larry Schneider
Mr. Bolz,
I have been asked by counsel in the False Claim Act Chase against JPMorgan Chase, to be in Washington D.C. the week of
th
June 1it\ 2017 -June 15 , 2017. As such, both my wife and I are unavailable for your emergency hearing you have set
for Monday, June 12, 2017 (to coincide with your vacation schedule and deny me fair access to justice) .
The reason for the request is that the United States Office of the Solicitor General, has filed a motion for an extension to
file an Amicus Brief in pending Schneider v. JPMorgan Chase False Claims Act. The U.S. appeals court case 17-7003. On
May 17, 2017, the United States Office of the Solicitor General requested the court grant an extension to file a brief of
Amicus Curiae (see 28 C.F.R. § 0.20.0).
The United States Office of the Solicitor General's Motion states the following:
This appeal arises from a qui tam suit brought under the False Claims Act (FCA}, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et
seq. Among other things, the relator alleges that Chase falsely claimed to have complied with several
requirements under the National Mortgage Settlement consent judgment in order to avoid making additional
payments to the United States, and that Chase submitted false certifications to obtain payments under the
Department of Treasury's Home A/fordable Modification Program and/or concealed material information
relevant to those payments.
The United States asks the Court's leave to file such a brief as amicus curiae by June 14, 2017, if approved by
the Solicitor General. This extension is necessary to permit the Solicitor General to consult with relevant
government components and for the government to prepare a briet if authorized, in accord with the Solicitor
General's instructions.
The issues presented by this appeal are of importance to the United States, and an amicus brieffiled by the
United States may be of assistance to the Court in this case. As False Claims Act suits are brought in the name
and on behalf of the United States. The United States was a party to the National Mortgage Settlement, the
terms of which are at issue in this case, and to other contracts and settlements that can give rise to suits under
the False Claims Act. The United States also operates the Home A/fordable Modification Program that may
be at issue in this appeal.
The requested extension should not prejudice any party. As noted, the appel/ee's brief is currently due on July
17, 2017, and the appellant's reply brief is due on July 31, 2017. Therefore, if the United States were to file an
amicus brief by June 14, 2017, there would be ample time under the existing schedule for both parties to
address any issues raised in the government's brief. We have conferred with counsel for both parties and are
authorized to state that this motion is unopposed.
CONCLUSION
1
For the foregoing reasons, we respectfully request that the Court extend the time, to and including June
14, 2017, for the United States to file an amicus brief in support of appellant or neither party if authorized
On May 9, 2017, the United States Solicitor General's motion for extension to file an Amicus Brief by Wednesday, June
14, 2017 was granted by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (attached).
I also want to let you know in full disclosure, that the State of Florida along with eighteen other States and the District of
Columbia have an ongoing interest in this litigation, as these States Attorney General's Offices were also plaintiffs in the
dismissed federal FCA action, as these States also have similar False Claims Act Laws.
I have been advised by counsel in the matter, to be available for meetings with various members of the United States
Department of Justice, the United States Office of the Solicitor General and several regulators and agencies of t he
Federal Government, starting early Monday morning June 12, 2017 through after hours June 14, 2017, if
necessary. Thus, our depositions will also need to be rescheduled. I request that we begin to have a bi-lateral meet
and confer process regarding the litigation in this matter, rather than your numerous and expeditious filings, in which
you have not met your obligation as to numerous meet and confer responsibilities.
Please let me know if you oppose my motion to reschedule the pending June 12, 2017 hearing and rescheduling the
depositions scheduled for June 13, 2017 and June 14, 2017 in the case of First American Bank v. Schneider pending in
the Palm Beach Circuit Court. Please let me know by 3:00 p.m.via written communication.
Sincerely,
Larry Schneider

I hope that you had a productive trip to Newark last week and returned safely.
Wearing my hat as the borrower in this matter, please provide me with detailed payoff figures for the HELOC, which
specifically breaks out the outstanding principa l balance, interest rate, per diem, late charges, corporate advances, legal
fees, costs and any other line items utilized in calculating the payoff figures. Also, please break down the nature and
scope of each , billing increment periods by which you billed, along with the hourly rates which you command and in
which any of the other attorney's, paralegals and anyone else who aided you in the prosecution have billed . Also, please
notate as whether any of the costs or fees are not recoverable per the terms of the HELOC between Schneider and FAB.
Additionally, we have not received the history of billing statements sent by FAB in this matter between January 2015
through June 2017.
We look forward to your cooperation so we can bring this litigation to a timely and efficient resolution of the matters
involved.
Sincerest appreciation,

Additionally, you have refused to produce any billing statement or any Request for Production.

Mr. Bolz,
In reviewing the cut and paste patchwork of the few communications which Mr. Trent actually sent to me, there is an
email from Bolz to Trent, which he had forwarded to me. In that email, you claim
nd
"At this point in time, we are intending to call Mr. Molestina as a witness at the March 28, 2017 hearing... (for 2
receivership hearing). 11
I am meeting with attorneys with the Florida Bar tomorrow and need to know if you had provided him new information,
which contradicts your intent to call Mr. Molestina to justify your necessity for a receivership on a well maintained and
unoccupied house. It is important that I know, as the whole thing was a total set up. Mr. Trent told me that I need to be
at the hearing. Thus, the only reason I attended the hearing, along with my landscaper Sergio Lemus, was to refute the
knowingly false and or fraudulent affidavit Mr. Molestina signed and in which you relied upon in your unnecessary
motion for a second receivership. I understand the unethical reasoning you had, by specifically not having Mr.
Molestina appear, as he would be likely be perjuring himself.
Furthermore, you found the motion for receivership so important, that you were sure to hire a court reporter to
document the events which would unfold. Those events would be your advanced knowledge that I was asked to appear
and that you intended to extract testimony which is the basis for your motion for summary judgment. I understand
what you did, I just want to know if Mr. Trent knew something and did not tell me, besides not properly representing
me. If you have a communication, in which you sent to Mr. Trent, which informs him of your intent not to call Mr.
Molestina, it would be very helpful in my meeting with the Florida Bar tomorrow. I know that you've continuously
refused to provide me any communications, except those which benefit you in finding justification for your unrelenting
filings, however, if a communication does exist, I am able to place further blame on Mr. Trent who did not oppose. He
also did not tell me he was withdrawing from the case until late April and in which I was not made aware of the May 1,
2017 hearing on the motion to grant Mr. Trent's withdrawal from representation. until receiving your email on May 1,
2017.

Ms. Mesa,
I appreciate your communication. I will be filing a letter and motion noting your opposition to our motion.
For clarification, the case in which discovery is being utilized by regulators, stems from the breach of contract, fraud and
Civil RICO pending in the District Court for the Southern District of New York as MRS v. JPMC 15-00293, Docket as of
June 8, 2017(attached). Also attached is the fourth amended complaint, which has been fully briefed and awaiting a
ruling on the Civil RICO claims. The Contract Claims, Fraud in the Inducement and Negligent Misrepresentation are
specifically not dismissed. Stephanie has been both an employee and a shareholder in the Plaintiffs entities. Thus, her
knowledge and further attestation of certain facts are of importance in the matter described below.
Since you are Mr. Bolz associate, please provide me with all of the communications, documentation and the underlying
data which Mr. Bolz relied upon in his November 30, 2015 letter addressed to me and in response FCRA request from
First American Bank. As per the last sentence in Mr. Bolz letter addressed to me, he specifically instructed me to had
specifically instructed me as follows:
"All further requests for information and documentation that in any fashion relate to the $1,500,000 HELOC loan
that was originated on July 28, 2006, should be addressed to the undersigned at the address on this
11
correspondence .
As such, I immediately notified Mr. Bolz of yet additional fraudulent misrepresentations reported to the credit bureau's
regarding my account. I immediately sent Mr. Bolz a communication, as he specifically instructed with the relevant
information. Despite his letter Mr. Bolz did not respond to my communication about the continued billing and false
reporting problems. In addition, he did not return two calls regarding the matter in January 2016. Please provide me
with all relevant documentation and information which Mr. Bolz utilized in attempting to once again act on behalf of
FAB to rectify the fraudulent reporting.
Mr. Bolz did not represent that he was a debt collector in this letter his November 30, 2015 letter. Furthermore, he has
direct knowledge of Defendants fraudulent reporting of the information. Is Mr. Bolz now claiming that he was acting as
a debt collector at that time.
Also note, that Mr. Bolz acknowledged Defendants erroneous reporting and asked if I still need a letter to rectify some
of the harms caused to my 1st Fidelity line of credit be closed. Mr. Bolz was aware of the prior false reporting by FAB
prior to his November 30, 2015 letter and subsequent to the November 30, 2015 letter.
Please provide the requested information immediately, along with a copy of all of the the monthly billing statements
between January 2015 through May 1, 2017.
Thank you,

Mr. Schneider,
My name is Sheyla Mesa, I am Mr. Bolz' associate. I briefly shared the contents of your emails to Mr.
Bolz of 12:11 p.m., 12:40 p.m. and 1:19 p.m. today. We take this opportunity to respond to the
requests set therein.
Neither First American Bank nor Keller & Bolz, LLP are willing to acquiesce in your request to
reschedule the June 12, 2017 hearings on Mrs. Schneider's Motion to Drop Party and/or Dismiss
Case (bearing a Certificate of Service date of May 24, 2017) and First American Bank's Motion for
Specially Set Trial Date (bearing a Certificate of Service date of May 23, 2017). On May 24, 2017,
Mrs. Schneider noticed her Motion for hearing. Further, as evidenced by the documents attached to
your email, Mrs. Schneider is not a party to the Schneider v. JPMorgan Chase litigation. Accordingly,
Mr. Bolz will be at the hearing on Monday, June 12, 2017, at 8:45 a.m.
We will not reschedule your June 13, 2017 deposition or Mrs. Schneider's June 14, 2017 deposition.
As Mr. Bolz stated in his May 26, 2017 email to you, our office has no knowledge or information about
your relationship with Attorney Kenneth Trent between August 2016 and the present. With that said,
Attorney Trent was your record legal counsel up to May 1, 2017. Accordingly, any and all of the
correspondence that you have requested in your email of earlier today will have to come from
him. Keller & Bolz, LLP cannot and will not provide you with any of that information.
Lastly, Mr. Bolz' flight has been delayed for about an hour, he will endeavor to call you this evening.
Regards.

Mr. Bolz,
It appears that our communications had been sent to each other almost concurrently. Thus, despite the 3:00 pm
deadline I requested in a different email regarding my notice of unavailability for the June 12, 2017 hearing and
th th
subsequent rescheduling of the depositions on the 13 and 14 • I will hold off on filing my motion to reschedule the
Monday, June 12, 2017 hearing with the court until you have provided your position to either consent, oppose or take
no position. According to your email below, you will not be available until 4:30 pm due to your travel schedule. Thus, I
will postpone the filing of a motion until 7:00 pm, to allow you time to confer with your client. If I do not hear back from
you by 7:00 p.m., I will assume that you are in opposition of the aforementioned motion and will note the motion
accordingly. If you have specific verbiage you would like me to state in the motion, again, please notify me in writing by
7:00 p.m.
Sincerest appreciation,

Mr. Bolz,
With all due respect, we have both individually, and as such mutually request ed that all communications be in writ ing
due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Mr. Trent's form er representation in this matter.
I have very few communications w hich purportedly transpired between my prior co unsel M r. Trent and you r office. I
have already filed the first of several actions I am t aking against him in this matter. Nonetheless, I have had great
difficulty in obt aining counsel. As such, and despite your email already advising me that you cannot and w ill not provide
me w ith comm unications bet ween your office and M r. Trent, I humbly ask you to please reconsider my request for t he
communications between cou nsel(Not bet ween you and your client).
Lastly, I wanted to confirm t hat you have received t he First Request for Document Production in th is case. It's been
somewhat of a lesson learned "the hard way." I have never used t he elect ronic filing syst em in Palm Beach County and
3
thought my email to you met the requirements. I greatly appreciate your assistance. If you have received it, please let
me know if there are any other deficiencies which would prevent FAB's production of this first set of Document
Requests. I am preparing a second set of document requests and want to make sure they are received both correctly

Please respond via email with an agenda for the proposed call. I will review and will call you to discuss the scope of the

Sincerest appreciation,

other professional persons to represent or assist the Monitor in carrying
out the Monitor’s duties under this Consent Judgment (each such
individual, along with each individual deployed to the engagement by the

company, any subsidiaries of the Party or its holding company,
directors, officers, and law firms.
(b) The Monitor and Professionals shall make a reasonable inquiry to
determine whether there are any facts that a reasonable individual
would consider likely to create a conflict of interest for the

authorities provided herein and to report his or her findings as provided in
Section D.3, below.
6. The manner in which the Monitor will carry out his or her compliance
responsibilities under this Consent Judgment and, where applicable, the
methodologies to be utilized shall be set forth in a work plan agreed upon
by Servicer and the Monitor, and not objected to by the Monitoring
Committee (the “Work Plan”).

third anniversary of the Start Date (the “Satisfaction Review”). For the
purposes of this provision, a group that is independent from the line of

compile state-level Consumer Relief information as required by
Section D.2.
(c) The Work Plan will set forth the testing methods and procedures
that the Monitor will use to assess Servicer’s reporting on its
compliance with the Consumer Relief Requirements of this

(d) The Work Plan will set forth the methodology and procedures the
Monitor will utilize to review the testing work performed by the
Internal Review Group.
(e) The Compliance Reviews and the Satisfaction Review may include
a variety of audit techniques that are based on an appropriate
sampling process and random and risk-based selection criteria, as
appropriate and as set forth in the Work Plan.
(f) In formulating, implementing, and amending the Work Plan,
Servicer and the Monitor may consider any relevant information
relating to patterns in complaints by borrowers, issues or
deficiencies reported to the Monitor with respect to the Servicing
Standards, and the results of prior Compliance Reviews.
(g) The Work Plan should ensure that Compliance Reviews are
commensurate with the size, complexity, and risk associated with
the Servicing Standard being evaluated by the Metric.

Monitor’s Powers
22. Where the Monitor reasonably determines that the Internal Review
Group’s work cannot be relied upon or that the Internal Review Group did
not correctly implement the Work Plan in some material respect, the
Monitor may direct that the work on the Metrics (or parts thereof) be
reviewed by Professionals or a third party other than the Internal Review
Group, and that supplemental work be performed as necessary.
23. If the Monitor becomes aware of facts or information that lead the Monitor
to reasonably conclude that Servicer may be engaged in a pattern of
noncompliance with a material term of the Servicing Standards that is
reasonably likely to cause harm to borrowers or tenants residing in
foreclosed properties or with any of the Mandatory Relief Requirements,
the Monitor shall engage Servicer in a review to determine if the facts are
accurate or the information is correct. If after that review, the Monitor
reasonably concludes that such a pattern exists and is reasonably likely to
cause material harm to borrowers or tenants residing in foreclosed
properties, the Monitor may propose an additional Metric and associated
Threshold Error Rate relating to Servicer’s compliance with the associated
term or requirement. Any additional Metrics and associated Threshold
Error Rates (a) must be similar to the Metrics and associated Threshold
Error Rates contained in Schedule E-1, (b) must relate to material terms of
the Servicing Standards or one of the Mandatory Relief Requirements,
(c) must either (i) be outcomes-based (but no outcome-based Metric shall
be added with respect to any Mandatory Relief Requirement) or (ii)
require the existence of policies and procedures required by the Servicing
Standards or the Mandatory Relief Requirements, in a manner similar to
Metrics 5.B-E, and (d) must be distinct from, and not overlap with, any
other Metric or Metrics. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Monitor may
add a Metric that satisfies (a)-(c) but does not satisfy (d) of the preceding
sentence if the Monitor first asks the Servicer to propose, and then
implement, a Corrective Action Plan, as defined below, for the material

and ability to challenge the findings and/or the statements in the Monitor
Report as flawed, lacking in probative value or otherwise. The Monitor
Report with respect to a particular Potential Violation shall not be
admissible or used for any purpose if Servicer cures the Potential
Violation pursuant to Section E, below.
Satisfaction of Payment Obligations
6. Upon the satisfaction of any category of payment obligation under this
Consent Judgment, Servicer, at its discretion, may request that the Monitor
certify that Servicer has discharged such obligation. Provided that the
Monitor is satisfied that Servicer has met the obligation, the Monitor may
not withhold and must provide the requested certification. Any
subsequent Monitor Report shall not include a review of Servicer’s
compliance with that category of payment obligation.
Compensation
7. Within 120 days of entry of this Consent Judgment, the Monitor shall, in
consultation with the Monitoring Committee and Servicer, prepare and
present to Monitoring Committee and Servicer an annual budget providing
its reasonable best estimate of all fees and expenses of the Monitor to be
incurred during the first year of the term of this Consent Judgment,
including the fees and expenses of Professionals and support staff (the
“Monitoring Budget”). On a yearly basis thereafter, the Monitor shall
prepare an updated Monitoring Budget providing its reasonable best
estimate of all fees and expenses to be incurred during that year. Absent
an objection within 20 days, a Monitoring Budget or updated Monitoring
Budget shall be implemented. Consistent with the Monitoring Budget,
Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Monitor, including the fees
and expenses of Professionals and support staff. The fees, expenses, and
costs of the Monitor, Professionals, and support staff shall be reasonable.
Servicer may apply to the Court to reduce or disallow fees, expenses, or
costs that are unreasonable.
E. Potential Violations and Right to Cure
1. A “Potential Violation” of this Consent Judgment occurs if the Servicer
has exceeded the Threshold Error Rate set for a Metric in a given Quarter.
In the event of a Potential Violation, Servicer shall meet and confer with
the Monitoring Committee within 15 days of the Quarterly Report or
Monitor Report indicating such Potential Violation.
2. Servicer shall have a right to cure any Potential Violation.
3. Subject to Section E.4, a Potential Violation is cured if (a) a corrective
action plan approved by the Monitor (the “Corrective Action Plan”) is
determined by the Monitor to have been satisfactorily completed in

accordance with the terms thereof; and (b) a Quarterly Report covering the
Cure Period reflects that the Threshold Error Rate has not been exceeded
with respect to the same Metric and the Monitor confirms the accuracy of
said report using his or her ordinary testing procedures. The Cure Period
shall be the first full quarter after completion of the Corrective Action Plan
or, if the completion of the Corrective Action Plan occurs within the first
month of a Quarter and if the Monitor determines that there is sufficient
time remaining, the period between completion of the Corrective Action
Plan and the end of that Quarter.
4. If after Servicer cures a Potential Violation pursuant to the previous
section, another violation occurs with respect to the same Metric, then the
second Potential Violation shall immediately constitute an uncured
violation for purposes of Section J.3, provided, however, that such second
Potential Violation occurs in either the Cure Period or the quarter
immediately following the Cure Period.
5. In addition to the Servicer’s obligation to cure a Potential Violation
through the Corrective Action Plan, Servicer must remediate any material
harm to particular borrowers identified through work conducted under the
Work Plan. In the event that a Servicer has a Potential Violation that so
far exceeds the Threshold Error Rate for a metric that the Monitor
concludes that the error is widespread, Servicer shall, under the
supervision of the Monitor, identify other borrowers who may have been
harmed by such noncompliance and remediate all such harms to the extent
that the harm has not been otherwise remediated.
6. In the event a Potential Violation is cured as provided in Sections E.3,
above, then no Party shall have any remedy under this Consent Judgment
(other than the remedies in Section E.5) with respect to such Potential
Violation.
F. Confidentiality
1. These provisions shall govern the use and disclosure of any and all
information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” as set forth below, in
documents (including email), magnetic media, or other tangible things
provided by the Servicer to the Monitor in this case, including the
subsequent disclosure by the Monitor to the Monitoring Committee of
such information. In addition, it shall also govern the use and disclosure
of such information when and if provided to the participating state parties
or the participating agency or department of the United States whose
claims are released through this settlement (“participating state or federal
agency whose claims are released through this settlement”).

K. Sunset. This Consent Judgment and all Exhibits shall retain full force and effect
for three and one-half years from the date it is entered (the “Term”), unless
otherwise specified in the Exhibit. Servicer shall submit a final Quarterly Report
for the last quarter or portion thereof falling within the Term, and shall cooperate
