Your Name here pro se, and Your Name here, pro se (“Plaintiff”), hereby

files their Complaint.

Plaintiff states on and for the record, and as an offer of proof, in

accordance with the testimony of a certified forensic examiner, Plaintiff

believes that Defendants jointly and/or separately have violated: A.R.S. §§ 39-

161, 33-420, 13-2301 et seq, 33-801 et seq and/or other Arizona laws and if true;

Plaintiff believes Defendants have knowingly, intelligently and willfully with

full knowledge of the consequences thereof permanently forsaken the right

and/or standing to foreclose on Plaintiff’s real property.

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4, Plaintiff hereby notifies this Court of

numerous felonies Plaintiff believes the evidence proves Defendants have

committed, by and through their corporate entities.See Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. 665, 696-97 (1972) (citation omitted): “Such activity has been a federal crime since the First Congress, for “the common law recognized a duty to raise the `hue and cry’ and report felonies to the authorities. . . . It is apparent from this statute, as well as from our history and that of England, that concealment of crime and agreements to do so are not looked upon with favor. Such conduct deserves no encomium.”

The Courts have concluded that ‘misprision of felony’ is a crime of:“moral turpitude because it necessarily involves an affirmative act of concealment or participation in a felony, behavior that runs contrary to accepted societal duties and involves dishonest or fraudulent activity.”

The Supreme Court observed that:“Concealment of crime has been condemned throughout our history… Although the term “misprision of felony” now has an archaic ring, gross indifference to the duty to report known criminal behavior remains a badge of irresponsible citizenship.”

Plaintiff hereby alleges as follows:

Bank of America is not the Real Party of Interest.

2. Plaintiff has discovered no valid assignment assigning any rights for

their Deed of Trust to Bank of America has been recorded.

3. Therefore, upon information and belief, there is a broken chain of

title to which none of Defendants by and through their Corporations have any

right and/or authority to hold the Trustee Sale currently scheduled for August 24,

2010.

4. At issue is the fact Defendants’ Corporations are attempting to act as,

either the Beneficiary or Trustee with the Power of Sale, when it appears that

none of the Defendant’s Corporations possess any rights or authority to foreclose

on Plaintiff’s property.

5. Pursuant to, inter alia, U.C.C. and/or, inter alia, A.R.S. Title 47,

Plaintiff hereby questions the authenticity and validity of the signatures of all

parties, therefore requiring any and all said parties to provide evidence of

authenticity and validity for any and all signatures on any and all documents and/or

pleadings.

6. Pursuant to, inter alia, A.R.S. §§ 39-161, 13-2301et seq, 33-801 et seq,

33-420 and others, Plaintiff questions the authenticity and validity of all recorded

and/or notarized documents.

JURISDICTION AND PARTIES

7. Plaintiff is suing each of the Defendants and/or their successor,

individually in their official capacity as President/ CEO, and/or President of Finance

and Administration, and former President/CEO of their Corporations.

8. Plaintiff is holding each of the Defendants and/or their successor

accountable for what harm their Corporation has done to them.

Your address here (“property”).

Promissory Note to Norwest Mortgage Inc.

30. Upon information and belief, the Promissory Note was not integral

to the Deed of Trust. Plaintiff recently learned that since a Deed of Trust must be

evidenced by a Promissory Note, it appears, a Deed of Trust not integral to a

Promissory Note may be unenforceable and invalid. (The term “dormant Deed of

Trust” will be referred to as the purported unenforceable and invalid Deed of

Trust).

31. The first dormant Deed of Trust was recorded on April 1, 1997 as

Maricopa County recorded document no. ????????? (A copy of the 1st dormant

Deed of Trust is attached hereto as Exhibit 1).

Beneficiary of the dormant Deed of Trust. (See: Exhibit 3)

37. At some point of time, Plaintiff was notified that his Promissory Note

with Bear Sterns was transferred to EMC.

38. At some point of time, Plaintiff was notified that Countrywide was the

servicer of the Promissory Note.

39. On or about July 2008, Bank of America acquired Countrywide via a

merger, and Plaintiff was informed that BAC was the servicer of the Promissory

Note.

40. On or about July 2009, Plaintiff inquired about modifying his current

purported mortgage. Plaintiff was told by an agent of Bank of America that they

were not eligible for a modification until they missed three monthly payments.

America agent for the Foreclosure Intervention Program. (See: Exhibit 4)

43. On or about May 2010, Plaintiff was informed by a Bank of America

agent that his Promissory Note was not able to be modified due to the terms of the

purported mortgage pooling and servicing agreement.

44. On or about June 2010, Plaintiff hired Charles J. Horner and Associates

(“Horner”) to conduct a Forensic Examination of documents from Bear Sterns and

§ 226.17- § 226.23; 15 U.S.C.; 18 U.S.C.; F.T.C. § 5; and FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681 §

212 subsection 609(g); violations against BEAR STEARNS (A copy of the

Forensic Examination is attached hereto as Exhibit 5, see: pages 1-6).

46. Upon information and belief, pursuant to Horner’s Examination, the

discovery of numerous violations, may cause the ORIGINAL contract/Deed of

47. The Forensic Examination indicates the following violations were

committed by Grand Canyon Title; RESPA 3500.10: (See: Exhibit 5pgs. 5-6)

of false instrument for filing, Mail Fraud and Swindles, and Deceptive Business

Acts resulting in violations of A.R.S. §§ 33-706; 39-161; 33-804;33-808; USC §

1341, regarding the foreclosure documents, may have been committed by

Recontrust. (See: Exhibit 5, pages 6-10).

49. Pursuant to Horner’s examination, there is a missing Assignment of

Deed of Trust assigning beneficial rights to Bank of America.

50. Pursuant to the document, MERS, as nominee for Bear Sterns signed

a Corporate Assignment of Deed of Trust dated January 21, 2010 assigning the

beneficial rights of the Deed of Trust to BAC. (A copy of the Corporate Assignment

of Deed of Trust is attached hereto as Exhibit 6).

51. Pursuant to Horner’s examination, JP Morgan Chase acquired Bear

Sterns in March 2008 and there is no assignment from JP Morgan Chase to Bank of

America has no standing as beneficiary to commence a foreclosure.

53. Pursuant to the document, Notary, Name of notary personally

witnessed the signature of ???????? as Assistant Secretary of MERS and verified the

same with her Texas driver’s license. (See: Exhibit 6).

54. According to Horner’s Forensic Examination, the Assigner, MERS

does not have offices in Tarrant County, Texas, from which Name of Notary could

have signed the Corporate Assignment of Deed of Trust of behalf of MERS. (See:

Exhibit 6 and See: Exhibit 5, page 7).

55. Furthermore, pursuant to Horner’s Examination, a back ground

investigation of ??????? indicated that she is actually an employee of Recontrust,

who is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America, and not an employee of

MERS. (See: Exhibit 5, page 7).

56. Pursuant to Horner’s examination, “This is now a case whereby a bank

has bestowed upon itself the powers of a beneficiary without authority to do so and

has further substituted the Trustee with Recontrust Company who is also an entity

owned by Bank of America.” (See: Exhibit 5, page 7).

57. Pursuant to the document, ??????????, Assistant Secretary of BAC

Home Loans Servicing, LP signed a Substitution of Trustee Arizona in Tarrant

59. Pursuant to Horner’s examination, the date of execution and the date of

recording are the exactly the same as that of the Assignment of Deed of Trust. (See:

Exhibits 6 and 7)

60. Upon information and belief, Recontrust has appointed oneself as the

Trustee.

61. Furthermore, Horner states, “In one instance, they[Recontrust] are

Assistant Secretary for MERS [Exhibit 6] and in another instance; they are Assistant

Secretary for BAC Home Loan Servicing [Exhibit 7] and they in yet another

instance, they are themselves.” (A copy of the Notice of Trustee Sale Arizona is

attached hereto as Exhibit 8)

62. Horner states, “The mere fact that they used the exact same notary in

the exact same State in the exact same County where neither MERS nor BAC have

offices displays a blatant and careless disregard for Arizona statutes and judicial

system whereby they believe they can escape with such acts.” (See: Exhibit 5 page

7)

63. Horner states, “Furthermore, the use of the same notary on all these

documents suggests a notary preference that is willing to commit perjury in the

acknowledgement of those instruments.” “It is quite obvious that the signees of

these documents are not who they alleged to be.” (See: Exhibit 5 page 7)

64. According to Horner, Recontrust Company, N.A. does have offices in

Tarrant County, Texas.

65. Upon information and belief, pursuant to Horner’s Forensic

Substitution of Trustee Arizona, and Notice of Trustee Sale Arizona, all dated

January 21, 2010 in Tarrant County, Texas. (See: Exhibit 5 pages 6- 8 and See also:

Exhibits 6, 7 and 8).

68. Pursuant to Horner’s Forensic Examination, Name of Notary, who

Arnold, James F. Taylor, and Brian T. Moynihan. (A copy of the Consumer

Complaint Form dated August 7, 2010 is hereby attached as Exhibit 11).

73. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff is concerned that pursuant to

Horner’s Forensic Examination, Defendant’s Corporations may have filed and/or

recorded numerous forged, fraudulent, and/or false documents into the Maricopa

County Recorder’s Office to steal Plaintiff’s property. (See: Exhibits 5, 6, 7, and 8)

74. A Notice of Completion has been recorded at the Pinal County

Recorders office evidencing the findings of Charles J. Horner and Associates, of

Presentment of false instrument for filing, Mail Fraud and Swindles, and Deceptive

Business Acts regarding the foreclosure documents. (A copy of the Notice of

Completion attached hereto as Exhibit 12).

75. Horner, informed Plaintiff that MERS has stated that they are not, and

was not, the true beneficiary thereby nullifying the nomination to BAC Home

Loans Servicing LP. See: Excerpt from the Mortgage Electronic Registration

Systems, Inc. website:

“Normally, where the name of the grantee under the Trustee’s Deed upon Sale is different than the name of the foreclosing entity, the Trustee’s Deed upon Sale states that the "Grantee was not the foreclosing beneficiary." This designation triggers the imposition of transfer taxes on the sale. It is important to note that in a MERS foreclosure sale, even where the property reverts, the name of the grantee will be different than the name of the entity foreclosing. Nonetheless, the Trustee’s Deed upon Sale should state that "The Grantee was the foreclosing beneficiary." This is because MERS merely holds title as nominee for the true beneficiary; it is the true beneficiary that has actually foreclosed and acquired title”.

76. In addition, pursuant to the Deed of Trust dated December 1, 2006,

(See: Exhibit 3), MERS acted solely as nominee for Bear Sterns recorded document

no. ??????????????.

77. In that capacity, according to Horner, MERS initiated the foreclosure

process by executing and recording certain instruments which sets in place the

entities that carry out the process of foreclosure.

78. According to Horner, there are many judicial opinions in several

different states that MERS does not have the capacity as only a nominee to execute

the process of foreclosure or to assign security instruments from one beneficiary to

the other.

79. In Luis E. Gallardo, 10-04710-MM7, vs Movant US Bancorp,

National Association, as Trustee for CSMC Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through

Certificates, Series 2006-7, a recent San Diego Bankruptcy decision handed down

by the Honorable Judge Margaret M. Mann, Judge Mann ruled:

“Movant has not supplied evidence that establishes that Movant has

standing to seek stay relief. Movant has attached an "Assignment of

Deed of Trust" from MERS to Movant, which assigns the trust deed

and the related note. But, there is no evidence that MERS ever

received an assignment of the note or had the ability to assign the note

to Movant. The note attached to the motion does not indicate that the

note has been endorsed to Movant or endorsed in blank such that it

became bearer paper. Without evidence either that MERS could

properly assign the note, or that the note was endorsed to Movant or

in blank, Movant has not established standing to seek stay relief.”

80. Also pursuant to Horner “There have been many court decisions

of late which have acknowledged that MERS is not the owner of the

underlying note. For example; The United States Bankruptcy Court for the

Eastern District of California has issued a ruling dated May 20, 2010 in the

matter of In Re: Walker, Case No. 10-21656-E-11 which found that MERS

could not, as a matter of law, have transferred the note to Citibank from the

original lender, Bayrock Mortgage Corp. The Court’s opinion is headlined

stating that MERS and Citibank are not the real parties in interest. The court

found that MERS acted “only as a nominee” for Bayrock under the Deed of

Trust and there was no evidence that the note was transferred. The opinion

also provides that “several courts have acknowledged that MERS is not the

owner of the underlying note and therefore could not transfer the note, the

beneficial interest in the deed of trust, or foreclose on the property secured by

the deed”, citing the well-known cases of In Re Vargas (California

Bankruptcy Court), Landmark v. Kesler (Kansas decision as to lack of

authority of MERS), LaSalle Bank v. Lamy (New York), and In Re

Foreclosure Cases (the “Boyko” decision from Ohio Federal Court). In

another case, a recent San Diego Bankruptcy decision handed down by the

Honorable Judge Margaret M. Mann, Judge Mann ruled “Movant has not

supplied evidence that establishes that Movant has standing to seek stay

relief. Movant has attached an "Assignment of Deed of Trust" from MERS to

Movant, which assigns the trust deed and the related note. But, there is no

evidence that MERS ever received an assignment of the note or had the

ability to assign the note to Movant. The note attached to the motion does not

indicate that the note has been endorsed to Movant or endorsed in blank such

that it became bearer paper. Without evidence either that MERS could

properly assign the note, or that the note was endorsed to Movant or in blank,

Movant has not established standing to seek stay relief.”

81. Upon information and belief pursuant to inter alia, U.C.C. §3-302(d, e,

g) only a Holder in Due Course and not a Holder has the right to foreclose on

Plaintiff’s property. Therefore, since Plaintiff’s Promissory Note was transferred, it

appears to Plaintiff that no entity exsists today with the right to commence a non-

judicial foreclosure on Plaintiff’s property.

82. Upon information and belief, Bank of America is not the true Holder in

Due Course or the real party in interest with standing to act as beneficiary of

Plaintiff’s Deed of Trust.

83. Upon information and belief, Bank of America has not put assets at

risk or provided consideration in this matter, and does not have standing as a real

party of interest.

84. Upon information and belief, BAC is not a true Holder in Due Course

or the real party in interest with standing to act as beneficiary of Plaintiff’s Deed of

Trust.

85. Upon information and belief, BAC has not put assets at risk or

provided consideration in this matter, and does not have standing as a real party of

interest.

86. Upon information and belief, BAC is not a valid nominee for the

current purported Beneficiary of Plaintiff’s dormant Deed of Trust as defined by

A.R.S. § 33-801. (See: Exhibit 5and 3)

87. Upon information and belief Recontrust does not have standing to act

as successor trustee with the power of sale.

88. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff contends they did a currency

exchange and not a Loan pursuant to Money Transmitter Law by selling the

Promissory Bear Sterns as described in the memorandum decision by U.S.D.C.,

District of Connecticut, District Judge MARK R. KRAVITZ: See: RAYMOND WINTSON McLAUGHLIN and Shakir Ra-Ade Bey, Plaintiffs, v. CITIMORTGAGE, INC., Defendant. No. 3:09CV1762 (MRK), United States District Court, D. Connecticut. June 11, 2010. “Private parties may enter into transactions to trade whatever they agree on as having equal value; they are not limited to gold and silver coins. Here, the Mortgage Company traded its check for [the] promise to pay on the promissory note executed at the time of the mortgage's creation. [Plaintiff] in turn traded the check for the house. Neither transaction implicates or violates a constitutional restriction on the states.” (Emphasis added).

89. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff contends, Judge Kravitz’s

statement: “promissory note executed at the time of the mortgage's creation” is the

court’s acknowledgement that the Promissory Note was not a part of the Deed of

Trust.

90. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff has not found any evidence that

they ever received a loan from Bear Sterns in which to be in default of.

91. Upon information and belief, the Deed of Trust and the Promissory

Note were not integral, therefore, the Deed of Trust may be unenforceable See:

Carpenter v Longan, 83 U.S. 16 Wall. 271 (1872).

92. Based upon the forgoing, a controversy exists as to whether or not any

of the Defendants are qualified or entitled to sell Plaintiff’s Property as permitted by

A.R.S. § 33-807.

93. Plaintiff contends, that there exists a broken chain of ownership and

that none of the Defendant’s Corporations have the right to act as the Trustee or

Beneficiary of the Plaintiff’s Deed of Trust pursuant to A.R.S. § 33-301et seq.

94. By reason of the foregoing a declaratory judgment is both necessary

and proper in order to set forth and determine the rights, obligations and liabilities

that exist among the parties to the Agreements.

95. The Plaintiff has incurred Court costs and fees in this matter.

96. Should Plaintiff prevail in this matter they are entitled to an award of

Court costs and fees pursuant to F.R.Civ.P.

97. Plaintiff has filed contemporaneously herewith a Motion for a

Temporary Restraining Order to enjoin the Defendants from conducting a Trustee’s

Sale unless and until such time that the Defendant’s can establish to this Court that

they are qualified to act and exercise the powers and remedies of the Trustee, and

Beneficiary pursuant to ARS §§ 33-801 et seq.
