Dear Readers,
My attorney, David Corbett, filed our appeal today.
He did a wonderful job drafting the brief and I am delighted to have found a really great attorney to help me from here on out.
Here’s the brief: (1) Opening Brief, (2) Appendix to Brief
Fascinating stuff, for sure.
In the arena,
Joe Kaiser

Joe I gotta say, I read all 60 pages and this guy is good. It looks good from my standpoint that you have a lot of legs to stand on. I just hope the eventual outcome compensates fairly.
Drew

Must read;
Homeowners often rejected under Obama’s loan plan:
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/80867.html?storylink=omni_popular
Excerpt:
”To date, more than 759,000 trial loan modifications have been started, but just 31,382 have been converted to permanent new loans. That’s averages out to 4 percent, far below the 75 percent conversion rate President Barack Obama has said he seeks.
In the fine print of the form homeowners fill out to apply for Obama’s program, which lowers monthly payments for three months while the lender decides whether to provide permanent relief, borrowers must waive important notification rights.
This clause allows banks to reject borrowers without any written notification and move straight to auctioning off their homes without any warning.
That’s what happened to Evangelina Flores, the owner of a modest 902 square-foot home in Fontana, Calif. She completed a three-month trial modification, and made the last of the agreed upon monthly payments of $1,134.60 on Nov. 1. Her lawyer said that in late November, Central Mortgage Company told her that it would void her adjustable-rate mortgage, which had risen to a monthly sum above $2,000, and replace it with a fixed-rate mortgage.
“The information they had given us is that she had qualified and that she would be getting her notice of modification in the first week of December,” said George Bosch, the legal administrator for the law firm of Edward Lopez and Rick Gaxiola, which is handling Flores’ case for free.
Flores, 58, a self-employed child care worker, wired her December payment to Central Mortgage Company on Nov. 30, thinking that her prayers had been answered. A day later, there was a loud, aggressive knock on her door.
Thinking a relative was playing a prank, she opened her front door to find two strangers handing her an eviction notice.”

Thanks Warner!
Yes, my new attorney is great and I look forward to the appellate court bringing some sense to all this madness.
Seeing just how far the State is willing to go to manufacture a consumer protection case out of NOTHING (not to mention blowing $1,000,000.00 of taxpayer funds) is staggering.
I look forward to the outcome of the appeal. Figuring we’ll have the hearing early this summer and a decision a few months later.
Joe
