PLAINTIFF’S AMENDED MOTION TO STRIKE DEFENDANT’S EXPERT WITNESS
Plaintiff, by and through undersigned counsel, and pursuant to section 90.702, Florida Statutes,
D
hereby files this, its Motion to Strike Defendant’s Expert Witness, and in support thereof states as
follows:

IF
STATEMENT OF FACTS
RT
1. On August 30, 2016, this Court entered an Order Denying Motion for Summary
Judgment and Setting Residential Foreclosure Case for Non-Jury Trial and Directing Pretrial and Loan
CE
Modification Procedures, thereby scheduling this case for trial for the trial docket between January 2,
2017 and March 3, 2017, with call of the calendar scheduled for December 16, 2016. A copy of the Order
A
2. Pursuant to the aforementioned Order, the parties were required to identify expert
T
O
witnesses no later than sixty (60) days prior to calendar call; to wit, October 17, 2016.
N
3. No later than thirty (30) days prior to calendar call, any party intending to call an expert
witness was required to provide: the subject matter about which the expert is expected to testify; the
substance of the facts and opinions to which the expert is expected to testify; a summary of the grounds
for each opinion; a copy of any written reports issued by the expert regarding this case; and a copy of the
OC0562-14/ws
FILED: PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL, SHARON R. BOCK, CLERK, 02/17/2017 11:45:32 AM
4. Defendant failed to identify William McCaffrey as an expert they intend to call at trial,
until December 13, 2016, when the parties were attempting to finalize their Joint Pre-Trial Stipulation.
5. Defendants did not file their Exhibit and Witness List until December 13, 2016, three
days before calendar call. A copy of Defendants’ Exhibit and Witness List is attached hereto as Exhibit
“B.”
6. Defendants have failed to indicate a valid foundation for the Witness’ testimony or any
PY
sound basis for designating the Witness as an expert.
7. Instead, in the Joint Pre-Trial Stipulation, Defendant refers Plaintiff and this Court to the
CO
Affidavit previously submitted in opposition to Summary Judgment Motion of Mr. McCaffrey. A copy of
D
8. Although Defendant presented a copy of William McCaffrey’s Affidavit to the Court at
IE
the hearing on Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment, upon information and belief, it was not filed
IF
with the Court nor provided to Plaintiffs counsel until December 13,2016, when Defendants filed the
RT
10. The testimony of the Witness should not be permitted because Defendants failed
T
to timely disclose the witness and have not shown that the Witness is qualified as an
O
expert, that the anticipated testimony of the Witness is relevant, or that the methodology of the
N
Witness complies with the requirements of Florida law or meets the standards of an expert witness
as set forth in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharm., 509 U.S. 579, 113 S.Ct. 2786, 125 L.Ed.2d 469 (1993)
(“Dauberf').
11. The Florida Evidence Code provides, in 90.702 that “If scientific, technical, or
other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact in understanding the evidence or in determining
a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education
OC0562-14/ws
may testify about it in the form of an opinion or otherwise, if:
(2) The testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods; and
(3) The witness has applied the principles and methods reliably to the facts of the case.
12. None of these requirements are met here. Defendants have failed to show: 1) that
the anticipated testimony of the Witness, to the extent ascertainable, will assist the trier of fact; 2)
PY
that the Witness is qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training or education;
3) that the testimony is based upon sufficient facts or data; 4) that reliable methods have been used
CO
and 5) that the principles and methods (to the extent ascertainable) have been correctly applied to the
facts of the case. In addition, Defendants have failed to show that the anticipated testimony is in
D
any way relevant to a genuine issue.
13.
IE
The anticipated testimony will not assist the trier of fact because the purported ‘facts’
IF
are unclear and ambiguous, not germane to any real issue and consist of speculation and conjecture and
RT
in no way meet the standards for expert witness testimony as set forth in Daubert.
14. Defendants have offered nothing to show that the “expert” is qualified as an expert
CE
witness, and have presented nothing to this Court other than a legally deficient Affidavit.
15. Even if this Court were to rely on the qualifications of the Witness in the legally
A
deficient Affidavit, Mr. McCaffrey’s qualifications do not rise to the level required under Daubert.
T
Furthermore, to the extent the “opinions” of the expert are ascertainable, these extend far beyond the
O
16. Similarly, Defendants have failed to show that the anticipated testimony of the
Witness, to the extent determinable, is based upon sufficient facts or data, that reliable methods have
been used or that the principles and methods used, to the extent these are ascertainable, have been
17. Defendants have failed to properly delineate the specific nature of the anticipated
OC0562-14/ws
testimony of the “expert” witness.
standing, McCaffrey is precluded from doing so because he is not a party to the Trust
documents. Citibank, N.A. v. Olsak, 3dl5-1032 (Fla. 3rd DCA November 30, 2016).
19. Furthermore, it is beyond dispute that in order for William McCaffrey to qualify as an
expert in a given area, his proponent must show that he has acquired special knowledge of the subject
PY
matter, whether by study or through experience, or both. Mathieu v. Schnitzer, 559 So. 2d 1244 (Fla. 4th
DCA 1990).
CO
20. This has not been accomplished here. Mr. McCaffrey does not identify his level of
education. Additionally, there is no indication that specialized coursework was taken. Although Mr.
D
McCaffrey indicates prior employment with financial institutions, the brief description of such
IE
employment fails to indicate that this employment establishes a basis for qualification as an ‘expert.’
IF
21. Even if Mr. McCaffrey did possess the advanced training expected of an expert
RT
witness, his anticipated testimony is inadmissible and improper for several reasons. First, the
anticipated testimony, as indicated by the purported Affidavit, is that Plaintiff does not have standing
CE
and Plaintiff’s damages have not been calculated accurately. Such testimony is improper in part
because it is predicated upon a non-lawyer’s “legal interpretation” of Florida law in that the Witness
A
22. A legal interpretation by a non-lawyer is not a proper subject of expert testimony. See
O
Hann v. Balogh, 920 So. 2d 1250 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006)“[0]pinion testimony as to the legal
N
interpretation of Florida law is not a proper subject of expert testimony.”). See also Lee County v.
Barnett Banks, Inc., 711 So. 2d 34 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997). In Lee County, the appellate court reversed an
award of attorney fees and expert witness fees, holding that “(ejxpert testimony is not admissible
concerning a question of law. Statutory construction is a legal determination to be made by the trial
judge, with the assistance of counsels’ legal arguments, not by way of ‘expert opinion.’” Id. at 34.
OC0562-14/ws
based on insufficient data, speculation and conjecture and are inadmissible. Sidran v. E.I. Dupont De
Arkin Cons. Co. v. Simpkins, 99 So. 2d 557 (Fla. 1957). See also, Husky Industries, Inc. v. Black,
PY
434 So. 2d 998, 992 (Fl. 4th DCA 1983)(“It has always been the rule that an expert opinion is inadmissible
where it is apparent that the opinion is based on insufficient data.”); Parc Royale East Development, Inc.
CO
v. U.S. Project Management, Inc., 38 So. 3d 865, 868 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010)(“Trial court abused its
discretion by allowing the expert to testify as to damages based upon a faulty foundation...”); Trumbull
D
Ins. Co. v. Wolentarski, 2 So. 3d 1050, 1056 (Fla. 3d DCA 2009)(this is not fact based opinion, it is pure
speculation.”).
IE
IF
24. The “findings” indicated in the purported Affidavit are inadmissible because the
RT
“Affidavit” was made solely for the purpose of litigation. A record made for purposes of litigation is
suspect. McElroy v. Perry, 753 So.2d 121, 126 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000)(“We .. .conclude that an IME report
CE
prepared for the purpose of litigation lacks the trustworthiness that business records are presumed to have,
25. The Witness must not be permitted to testify at the trial of this matter, nor should
T
the court permit any purported ‘Affidavit’ to be entered into evidence since the Defendants have
O
failed to show that the testimony will assist the trier of fact, that the testimony will be relevant,
N
that the Witness is qualified as an expert or that the anticipated testimony, which Defendants have
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that this Court enter an order prohibiting the witness
designated by Defendants as an ‘expert’ witness from testifying and for any further relief this Court
deems proper.

PY
7
September 12, 2005, the D’alessandro’s executed a promissory Note and. a Mortgage.

CO
The subject property is located at 9949 154th Road North, Jupiter Florida 33478 and

Green Point Mortgage Funding, Inc. is stated as lender. The property was securitized

The post closing division is responsible for preserving and transferring original
2
documents such as the Note and Mortgage. This division administers these labels as well
3
as indorsments as part of their regular course of business. To obtain an original copy of
4
the Note, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as the Custodian would be the point
5
of contact.

PY

Equally, the Master Servicer Wells Fargo actually maintains correct details of the subject
8
CO
loans transaction history. The detailed loan report generated May 12, 2016 shows the
9
subject loan has a Current loan rate of 3.625 and an approximate delinquent interest total
10
of $95,672.03.
D
11
12
13
IE
However, Ocwen’s Affidavit of Debt dated March 23, 2016 affirms a daily rate of
$31.97 ad interest rate at date of the purported default to be 7.625. The affiant, Ms.
IF
14 Wilson acquired these amounts from the deferred principal balance interest on her
RT
15 Ocwen servicing system, which is incorrect and unreliable further the affidavit of
16 indebtedness claim of $96,370.48 on February 9,2016 at a rate of 7.625 is incorrect.
CE
17
18 The actual amount would be $95,672.03 at a rate of 3.625 according to the Goldman
19 Sachs Distribution Report, which was prepared for their investors on May 26, 2016

21
Ms. Wilsons Detailed Transaction History and submitted 80 pages of loan history
O
22
records do not contain the subject loans full transaction history or correct information of
23
N
it as required. Specifically, this loan #0087854105, is not in Pool #1, nor is the property
24
located in Wildwood New Jersey, in fact all pages 17-80 contain information on a
25
property in another pool of the Goldman Sachs pooled trust.

Therefore, based upon my research and decades of relevant experience within the

banking industry, it is my conclusion and testimony it would be impossible for Ocwen as

agent or HSBC N.A. to hold the subject Note, or to have calculated these payoffs

accordingly or accurately.
