Curtis Wilson, Esq. (but signed Curtis Wilson Nov-03-2015) also known as Curtis Alan Wilson,
Fla. Bar No. 77669. The Unofficial Document, AFFIDAVIT OF CONSTRUCTIVE SERVICE
FL BAR NO. 77669, (Exhibit 5) states in relevant part:
Before me, the undersigned authority, personally appeared, Curtis Wilson, Esq, who, first

and negates the preceding AFFIDAVIT OF CONSTRUCTIVE SERVICE FL BAR NO. 77669.
10.
The foregoing is a continuation of the criminal conspiracy of Judge Hale Stancil, Clerk
David R. Ellspermann, and attorney Curtis Wilson, a/k/a Curtis Alan Wilson, see
DEFENDANT GILLESPIES RULE 1.150 MOTION TO STRIKE SHAM PLEADINGS
Notice of Criminal Conspiracy: Judge Stancil, Clerk Ellspermann and attorney Curtis Wilson
November 9, 2015
11.
Therefore I move to disqualify Judge Stancil as judge in this action under Fla. Stat.
38.10, Rule 2.330 Fla. R. Jud. Admin., the Code of Judicial Conduct for the State of Florida, and
Supreme Court of Florida Administrative Order No. AOSC14-66, because I fear that I will not
receive a fair trial in this cause because of specifically described prejudice or bias of the judge.
12.
The specific grounds in support of this affidavit and motion are the foregoing paragraphs 1
through 14, which are reiterated here as if set forth in full here.
13.
I have a reasonable fear of not receiving a fair trial before Judge Hale Stancil and
becoming the target of further deprivation of rights under color of law, intimidation, interference,
and/or retaliation in part for having exercised and asserted my civil rights and disability rights
under the Constitution and laws of the United States, and of Florida, and International Law.
Florida Code of Judicial Conduct
14.
Fla. Code Jud. Conduct, Canon 3E(1) A judge shall disqualify himself or herself where
his or her impartiality might reasonably be questioned.
Memorandum of Law
Note: The old Rule 2.160 Fla. R. Judicial Admin. has been replaced by Rule 2.330.
15.
Litigant's right to impartial judge. The importance of the duty of rendering a righteous
judgment is that of doing it in such a manner as would raise no suspicion of the fairness and
integrity of the judge. State ex rel. Arnold v. Revels, 113 So.2d 218, Fla.App. 1 Dist.,1959.
Every litigant is entitled to nothing less than the cold neutrality of an impartial judge, (Mathew
v. State, 837 So.2d 1167, Fla.App. 4 Dist.,2003.) and the law intends that no judge will preside
in a case in which he or she is not wholly free, disinterested, impartial, and independent. State v.
Steele, 348 So.2d 398, Fla.App. 1977. When a judge enters into the proceedings and becomes a
participant, a shadow is cast upon judicial neutrality so that his or her disqualification is
required. Evans v. State, 831 So.2d 808, Fla.App. 4 Dist., 2002.
16.
The conditions requiring the disqualification of the judge to act in that particular case are
prescribed by statute. 38.02 Fla. Stat. The basic tenet for the disqualification of a judge is that a
judge must satisfy the appearance of justice. Hewitt v. State, 839 So.2d 763, Fla.App. 4 Dist.,
2003. The question of disqualification focuses on those matters from which a litigant may
reasonably question a judge's impartiality rather than the judge's perception of his or her ability
to act fairly and impartially. Wargo v. Wargo, 669 So.2d 1123, Fla.App. 4 Dist.,1996.
17.
The term "recusal" is most often used to signify a voluntary action to remove oneself as a
judge; however, the term "disqualification" refers to the process by which a litigant may seek to
remove a judge from a particular case. Sume v. State, 773 So.2d 600, Fla.App. 1 Dist.,2000.
Question whether disqualification of a judge is required focuses on those matters from which a
litigant may reasonably question a judge's impartiality rather than the judge's perception of his
ability to act fairly and impartially. Wests F.S.A. Code of Jud. Conduct, Canon 3(E)(1), Stevens
v. Americana Healthcare Corp. of Naples, 919 So.2d 713 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2d Dist. 2006).
3
November 9, 2015
Question of disqualification of a trial judge focuses on those matters from which a litigant may
reasonably question a judge's impartiality rather than the court's own perception of its ability to
act fairly and impartially. Wests F.S.A. 38.10, Valdes-Fauli v. Valdes-Fauli, 903 So.2d 214,
Fla.App. 3 Dist.,2005 reh'g denied, (Feb. 17, 2005).
18.
Sufficiency of motion or affidavit of prejudice. A motion to disqualify must show that the
party fears that he or she will not receive a fair trial or hearing because: (1) of a specifically
described prejudice or bias of the judge; Fla. R. Jud. Admin., Rule 2.160 (d)(1). Generally, the
critical determination in deciding the legal sufficiency of a motion to disqualify has been
whether the facts alleged would prompt a reasonably prudent person to fear he or she would not
receive a fair trial, Barnhill v. State, 834 So.2d 836 Fla., 2002. If a motion to recuse is
technically sufficient and the facts alleged therein also would prompt a reasonably prudent
person to fear that he or she could not get a fair and impartial trial from the judge, the motion is
legally sufficient and should be granted. Coleman v. State, 866 So.2d 209, Fla.App. 4 Dist.,2004.
The motion to disqualify a judge should contain facts germane to the judge's undue bias,
prejudice, or sympathy. Chamberlain v. State, 881 So.2d 1087, Fla., 2004.
19.
Whether a motion to disqualify a judge is legally sufficient requires a determination as to
whether the alleged facts would create in a reasonably prudent person a well-founded fear of not
receiving a fair and impartial trial. Fla. R. Jud. Admin., Rule 2.160 (f), Rodriguez v. State, 919
So.2d 1252, Fla.,2005, as revised on denial of reh'g, (Jan. 19, 2006). The primary consideration
in determining whether motion to disqualify trial judge should be granted is whether the facts
alleged, if true, would place a reasonably prudent person in fear of not receiving a fair and
impartial trial. Arbelaez v. State, 898 So.2d 25, Fla.,2005, reh'g denied, (Mar. 18, 2005). A
motion for disqualification must be granted if the alleged facts would cause a reasonably prudent
person to have a well-founded fear that he/she would not receive a fair and impartial trial. Jarp v.
Jarp, 919 So.2d 614, Fla.App. 3 Dist.,2006. The test a trial court must use in determining
whether a motion to disqualify a judge is legally sufficient is whether the facts alleged would
place a reasonably prudent person in fear of not receiving a fair and impartial trial. Scott v. State,
909 So.2d 364, Fla.App. 5 Dist.,2005, reh'g denied, (Sept. 2, 2005). The motion to disqualify a
judge must be well-founded and contain facts germane to the judge's undue bias, prejudice, or
sympathy. Scott v. State, 909 So.2d 364, Fla.App. 5 Dist.,2005, reh'g denied, (Sept. 2, 2005).
20.
Disqualification is required when litigants demonstrate reasonable, well-grounded fear
that they will not receive fair and impartial trial, or that judge has pre-judged case. Williams v.
Balch, 897 So.2d 498, Fla.App. 4 Dist., 2005.
21.
Time for filing motion; waiver of objection. A motion to disqualify shall be filed within a
reasonable time not to exceed 10 days after discovery of the facts constituting the grounds for the
motion and shall be promptly presented to the court for an immediate ruling. Fla. R. Jud.
Admin., Rule 2.160(e). Although a petition to disqualify a judge is not timely filed,
extraordinary circumstances may warrant the grant of an untimely motion to recuse. KlapperBarrett v. Nurell, 742 So.2d 851, Fla.App. 5 Dist.,1999.
22.
Judicial determination of initial motion. The judge against whom an initial motion to
disqualify us directed shall determine only the legal sufficiency if the motion an shall not pass on
4
November 9,2015
the truth of the facts alleged. Fla. R. Judicial Admin. 2.160(t). No other reason for denial shall
be stated, and an order of denial shall not tale issue with the motion. Fla. R. Judicial Admin.
2.160(t). Accordingly, a judge may not rule on the truth of the facts alleged or address the
substantive issues raised by the motion but may only determine the legal sufficiency of the
motion. Knarich v. State, 866 So.2d 165 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2d Dist. 2004). In determining
whether the allegations that movant will not receive a fair trial so as to disqualify a judge are
sufficient, the facts alleged must be taken as true (Frengel v. Frengel, 880 So.2d 763, Fla.App. 2
Dist.,2004), and must be viewed from the nlovant's perspective. Siegel v. State, 861 So.2d 90,
Fla.App. 4 Dist.,2003.
23.
Case law forbids trial judges to refute facts set forth in a motion to disqualify, and their
doing so will result in judicial disqualification irrespective of the facial sufficiency of the
underlying claim. Brinson v. State, 789 So.2d 1125, Fla.App. 2 Dist.,200 1. A trial judge's
attempt to refute charges of partiality thus exceeds the scope of inquiry on a motion to disqualify
and alone establishes grounds for disqualification. J & J Industries, Inc. v. Carpet Showcase of
Tampa Bay, Inc., 723 So.2d 281, Fla.App. 2 Dist.,1998.
24.
Whether the motion is legally sufficient is a pure question of law; it follows that the
proper standard of review is the de novo standard (Sume v. State, 773 So.2d 600 Fla.App. 1
Dist.,2000) and an order denying a motion to disqualify a trial judge is reviewed for abuse of
discretion. King v. State, 840 So.2d 1047, Fla.,2003.
25.
Once a motion for disqualification has been filed, no further action can be taken by the
trial court, even if the trial court is not aware of the pending motion. Brown v. State
863 So.2d 1274, Fla.App. 1 Dist.,2004. A judge presented with a motion to disqualify him- or
herself must rule upon the sufficiency of the motion immediately and may not consider other
matters before considering the disqualification motion. Brown v. State 863 So.2d 1274, Fla.App.
1 Dist.,2004. The court is required to rule immediately on the motion to disqualify the judge,
even though the movant does not request a hearing. Fuster-Escalona v. Wisotsky, 781 So.2d
1063, Fla.,2000. The rule places the burden on the judge to rule immediately, the movant is not
required to nudge the judge nor petition for a writ of mandamus. G.C. v. Department of Children
and Families, 804 So.2d 525 Fla.App. 5 Dist., 2002.
The undersigned movant certifies that the motion and the movant's statements are made
in good faith.
Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have read the foregoing motion and the facts
stated in it are true.

In addition, mortgage insurance premiums ("MIP"), which are a FINANCE CHARGE, are computed by as follows:
At the end of each month, we multiply the lesser of the Previous Loan Balance or the maximum balance on which HUD requires MIP to be paid to it by your
MIP rate divided by 12 (the "MIP Monthly Period Rate"). At the end of each month in which any advances (also known as disbursements and labeled as
"Disb" on this statement) or payments have been made to you or on your behalf, we multiply the amount of the advance or payment (other than any advance
or payment that exceeds the maximum advances or payments on which HUD requires MIP to be paid) by the number of days remaining in the n10nth after
that advance or payment was made (not including the day the advance was made),and then multiply this amount by your MIP rate divided by 365 (the "MIP
Daily Periodic Rate"). This calculation is repeated for each advance or payment made to you or on your behalf during the month.
The sum of the final result of these calculations equals the mortgage insurance portion of your FINANCE CHARGE for the month.
E. CALCULATION OF BALANCES
The "Principal Limit Information" section on the front of the monthly statement shows your "Original Principal Limit" and your "Net Principal Limit" which
includes any "Set Asides". The "Loan Balance" section on page 2 of this monthly statement shows your prior month's Previous Loan Balance and your
current month's Closing Loan Balance, which includes the current month's activity. If you would like to determine your payoff balance or if you have any
questions on this monthly statement, please call the telephone number listed on the bottom of this monthly statement.

monthly statement indicates both the current month and year to date interest and other fees. If you repay all or a portion of your loan balance and the annual
interest paid due to a repayment exceeds $600, a separate IRS Form 1098 will be mailed to you by January 31 st. Interest accrued on this loan, other than
repayments, will not be reported to the IRS until the loan is paid in full.

6.
The death certificate for Ms. G-illespie issued September 23, 2009 for the state of Texas
shows dementia was the immediate cause of death. No other cause of death is shown.

Ms. Gillespie lacked capacity individually on June 5, 2008 to make any financial
Ms. Gillespie lacked capacity as Grantor Trustee on June 5, 2008 to manage or bind in
contract the Gillespie Family Living Trust Agreement Dated February 10, 1997, due to
Alzheimer's disease and/or dementia.
9.
I was Ms. G'illespie's primary caregiver. I was power of attorney for Ms. Gillespie,
healthcare surrogate, living will proxy, personal representative (alternative) in the Last Will and
Testament of Ms. Gillespie, and personal representative under Fla. Stat. 198.01(2).
Section 673.4051 (1)(a), Fla. Stat. lack of legal capacity of the borrower
11.
Ms. Gillespie was a patient of Dr. Gregory J. Howell, M.D., Neurologist, Ocala
Neurodiagnostic Center, Windsor Oaks Medical Park, Bldg 400, 1901 S.E. 18th Avenue, Ocala,
Florida 34471, Noverrlber 1,2005 through the close of his practice December 12,2006.
12.
On May 8, 2006 Dr. Howell wrote to Dr. Christopher Grainger, Ms. Gillespie's primary
care doctor, that she was being treated for Alzheimer's dementia, and she was not competent to
make any financial decisions:
"I have been treating the patient for Alzheimer's dementia..." and "It is my impression
that the patient has moderate Alzheimer's and is not competent to give things away or
make any financial decisions..."
The letter of Dr. Howell dated May 8, 2006 is attached.
13.
On September 4, 2008 Dr. Jay J. Rubin, M.D wrote to Dr. Granger about Ms. Gillespie's
participation in a research study. Dr. Rubin diagnosed Ms. Gillespie with moderate dementia
consistent with Alzheimer's disease, currently treated with Aricept and Namenda. Dr. Rubin noted in
his Neurological Examination that "She is disoriented and certainly confused." The letter is attached.
14.
(FHA) "reverse" mortgage program administered by the Secretary, United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (Secretary or HUD) to enable home owners over 62 years old
access the subject home's equity. A HECM reverse mortgage is governed by federal law:
12 U.S.C. 1715z-20 - Insurance of home equity conversion mortgages for elderly
homeowners; and 24 CFR Part 206 - Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Insurance
15.
A HECM reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan, and the lender has no further means to
collect the debt beyond the terms of the original documents. The accounts in this case include:
Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Case Number: 091-4405741
16.
On April 22, 2008 I attended a telephonic HECM counseling session with Ms. Gillespie,
and Susan Gray, a HUD approved HECM counselor. The counseling session did not comply
with HECM rules. Ms. Gillespie was not able to answer questions showing she understood a
reverse mortgage. A transcript of the counseling session shows Ms. Gillespie did not actively
participate in the call or the counseling. Ms. Gray did not ask Ms. Gillespie to "successfully
answer five of the ten review questions" or make other effort to determine if she understood
basic information about reverse mortgages, which was impossible due to Alzheimer's disease,
but required under 12 USC 1715z-20(f) Counseling services and information for mortgagors.
Therefore Ms. Gray should not have issued the certificate to Ms. Gillespie, but she did anyway.
17.
Ms. Gillespie had Alzheimer's disease and dementia and lacked capacity at the time of
the HECM counseling session April 22, 2008. Ms. Gillespie lacked capacity at the time of the
HECM loan closing June 5, 2008. Elizabeth "Liz" Baize of the Ocala office of The Park Avenue
Bank was the HECM loan originator. I told Ms. Baize that Penelope Gillespie had Alzheimer's
disease early in the origination process. Ms. Baize's only concern was whether a guardianship
was in place for Ms. Gillespie. There was no guardianship.
18.
Liz Baize did not require anyone to act as power of attorney for Ms. Gillespie. Instead,
the bank had me and Mark Gillespie added to the quit-claim deed along with Ms. G-illespie, and
required us all to sign the HECM Notes and HECM Mortgages. When the HECM closed June 5,
2008, Penelope Gillespie age 77 was the only person age 62 or older qualified to be a HECM
borrower. I was age 52. Mark Gillespie was age 49.
19.
At all times pertinent to this HECM, Ms. Gillespie was not competent and suffered from
20.
At all times pertinent to this HECM, the lender and lender parties knew or should have
known Ms. Gillespie was not competent and suffered from Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Charles J. Thomas, a New York Supreme Court Judge, voided a reverse mortgage and its
21.
subsequent refinancing on the grounds that the borrower's mental illness made her unable to
understand the reverse mortgage. The Order and a related news story are attached.
Matter of Doar (Brunson) 2009 NY Slip Op 29549 [28 Misc 3d 759] December 18, 2009
Thomas, J. Supreme Court, Queens County Published by New York State Law Reporting
Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law 431. As corrected through Thursday, October 7,2010.
Appellate Division continued to require that a mortgagee have knowledge of the
mortgagor's incapacity before the contract which is otherwise voidable could be voided.
In order to void a contract which is voidable because of incapacity, the mortgagor must
establish that the mortgagee had knowledge of the "incapacity and were ... not bona fide
mortgagees for value." (See Weisberg v DeMeo, 254 AD2d 351, 351 [1998].)
Under these circumstances, the court finds that Hermina Brunson was incapable of
understanding the agreements that she signed on April 21, 2003 and that Financial
Freedom is charged with the responsibility to determine, and was in a position to know of
her incapacity. Therefore, the court finds the mortgages on June 20, 2003 void.
22.
Therefore this HECM is void or voidable because the mortgagee had knowledge of the
"incapacity and were ... not bona fide mortgagees for value."
FURTHER AFFIANT SAYETH NOT,
The foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me, this 2nd day of February, 2015,
by Neil J. Gillespie, who is personally known to me, or who has produced
as
identification and states that he is the person who made this affidavit and that its contents are
truthful to the best of his knowledge, information and belief.

Penelope M. Gillespie
Dear Christopher:
Thank you for requesting a neurological consu1tation regarding this 77-year-old female with Alzheimer's disease.
Mrs. Gillespie is accompanied by her son who is a very good historian. He also provided a nicely printed list
regarding her current medications.
History of Present Illness: Mrs. Gillespie has a history of progressive short-term memory impairment culminating
with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease made by Dr. A. Singh in 2004. She was placed on Namenda and then
evaluated neurologically by Dr. Howell and treated with Aricepl In 2007, Aricept was stopped for eighteen days
whereupon her memory worsened. Mrs. GiJJespie stopped driving in 2004. Her son cooks and manages her
medications. She generally eats and sleeps well, sleeping about eight to ten hours a day on the average, and she
infrequently awakens during the night. She wears Depends for incontinence and for occasional diarrhea. She has
some episodes of increased confusion but no hallucinations. Generally, her disposition is very good and she is
quite cooperative.
More recently. she has been under the care of Dr. Gaya, but her son expressed an interest in the Alzheimer's
Investigational Study. Her son indicates that Mrs. Gillespie has had more confusion this year. For example, she
often does not seem to realize that her son Jives with her.
Your evaluation inclUded a head CT scan in 12/07 at Advanced Imaging Center that showed an old appearing right
frontoparietal cortical stroke and atrophy. She had a normal TSH and 812 level in 06/08. Her creatinine has
gradually been elevated and was 1.98 in July.
Past Medical/Surgical History: Is noteworthy for atrial fibrillation mitral valve regurgitation, Alzheimer's disease,
TIA. hypertension and irritable bowel syndrome. She is sIp bilateral total knee arthroplasty (in 1998 and 2000).
1
Current Medications: Namenda 10 mg bid (began in 2004), Aricept 10 mg q a.m. (began in 2005). Furosemide
20 mg qd, Spironolactone 25 mg qd, Coumadin. Ni1roglycerin 0.4 mg pm, multivitamins, vitamins 86 & 812,
Imodium AD pm, and Tylenol pm. She is not to take Advil Aleve. Motrin or Ibuprofen.

RECOMMENDATIONS/PLAN: I revIewed the findings, diagnoses and treatment options with Mrs. Gillespie's son.
He is very intelligent. supportive and provides many documents including a detailed list of all of her tests and
procedures between 10/05 and 07/08. Her son expresses much interest in helping his mother participate in a ~'
research study. Therefore, this is being discussed. If she is a candidate, she will be screened for the study and if
her son is interested, then we will pursue appropriate treatment. Otherwise, I am going to recommend continued
current medications. We will also schedule a return appointment for Mrs. Gillespie and I look forward to follOWing
her along.

Own Your Home? Over 62? Learn More! Free Reverse Mortgage
Cl l t
In a ruling last month, Charles J. Thomas, a New York Supreme Court Judge voided a reverse
mortgage and its subsequent refinancing on the grounds that the borrowers mental illness made her
unable to understand the reverse mortgage.
In the case, Matter of Doar, 31393/07 [1], the borrower, Ms. Hermina Brunson, took out a reverse
mortgage with Financial Freedom on her home in Queens for $300,000 in December of 2001,
refinancing for $375,000 in June of 2003.
However, at the time, Ms. Brunson was being treated for chronic paranoid schizophrenia. By the end
of 2001, her psychiatrist testified that Ms. Brunson was hearing voices, believed her neighbor was
trying to take her home away from her, and claimed that she no longer had the deed to the home.
Despite the counseling session lasting 45 minutes over the phone, the judge wrote that it was not
meant to be perfunctory or a mere rubber stamp of the banking or mortgage industry. It was
intended to secure that the rights of elderly homeowners were protected. The mortgagee is
entrusted with the responsibility of conducting an inquiry of the applicants understanding of the
mortgage agreement.
Judge Thomas continued, There is no evidence that Ms. Brunson understood the terms of the
mortgage or the Counseling Certificate that she signed on June 20, 2003. He faulted the counselor
for not unearthing the borrowers mental illness and her delusions regarding her home. Most
significantly for the industry, Judge Thomas ruled:
While the Certificate of Counseling is an indication that information was given to the
homeowners it is not dispositive of the issue of the mortgagors knowledge and
understanding of the implications of a reverse mortgage or that the National Housing
Act has been satisfied. That determination rests ultimately with the court.
As a result, the responsibility is on the lender to prove that the borrower understood the reverse
mortgage, regardless of whether or not they received a counseling certificate.
The judge further faulted the counseling process, noting that there was no evidence as to the
qualifications of the counselor, whether the counselor spoke to Ms. Brunson or only to her brother, if
Ms. Bunsons questions were answered, and what information the counselor provided.
While recent counseling reforms such as the qualification of the counselor addresses some of these
issues, this is still a situation that could be repeated today.
In the ruling, Financial Freedom was ordered to void the mortgage, but the Guardian of the borrower
is directed to reimburse Financial Freedom for monies paid out at the closing which includes taxes,
water charges, and the New York City Department of Social Services liens. It is unclear whether
Financial Freedom will appeal.
