This document summarizes a court hearing regarding a foreclosure case brought by Aurora Loan Services against Rita Lawthorn. Sean Chibnik, an employee of the loan servicer Nationstar Mortgage, was called to testify. Chibnik reviewed Nationstar's records of the loan but had only seen the original note earlier that day. The defendant's lawyer objected to the introduction of the note, citing a prior case where a witness similarly saw records for the first time at trial. The judge overruled the objection and allowed the note to be entered as evidence.

DROSKY: Good afternoon, your Honor. 10 Todd Drosky on behalf of the plaintiff. 11 THE COURT: Good morning, Mr. Drosky. 12 MR. ROSEN: Evan Rosen on behalf of Ms. 13 Lawthorn. 14 THE COURT: Good morning, Mr. Rosen. 15 MR. ROSEN: Good morning, Judge. 16 BY MR. DROSKY: 17 Q. Could you please state your name to the 18 court. 19 A. Sean Chibnik. 20 Q. Mr. Chibnik, who is your employer? 21 A. Nationstart Mortgage. 22 Q. Briefly, what are your job duties with 23 Nationstart Mortgage? 24 A. As a default case specialist, I review and 25 respond to litigation involving residential Page 3 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 mortgages. I assist counsel with that litigation. I 2 review and maintain business records kept in the 3 ordinary course of business. I appear and testify at 4 trial. 5 Q. Specifically, have you reviewed your 6 records with respect to the Rita Lawthorn matter 7 which is set for nonjury trial today? 8 A. Yes, I have. 9 Q. What documents did you review? 10 A. In preparation, I reviewed our servicing 11 records. I reviewed the note, mortgage, payment 12 history, and demand letter. 13 Q. Where did you view these documents? 14 A. I reviewed these documents in our business 15 records. We maintain digital copies of all these 16 documents, as well as I reviewed the physical copies 17 of the originals as well. 18 Q. Is there a platform that these documents 19 are saved on? 20 A. Yes, there is. 21 Q. Is there a specific name for the platform? 22 A. There is a remedy system. 23 Q. Is this system passcode protected? 24 A. The system can only be accessed by 25 employees of Nationstar. Page 4 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 Q. Do you have a passcode or access to the 2 system? 3 A. Yes, I do. 4 Q. Have you been trained to read and interpret 5 the records that are on your system? 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. And are these records kept in the ordinary 8 course of business in Nationstar? 9 A. Yes, they are. 10 Q. Is it Nationstar's usual course of business 11 practice to keep and maintain these records? 12 MR. ROSEN: Judge, if I may voir dire on 13 that limited issue? 14 THE COURT: Sure. 15 MR. ROSEN: Thank you so much. 16 BY MR. ROSEN: 17 Q. Good morning. 18 A. Good morning. 19 Q. Your title is default pay specialist, did 20 you say? 21 A. Default case specialist. 22 Q. Case specialist. 23 THE COURT: But he does get paid for it. 24 MR. ROSEN: Okay. 25 BY MR. ROSEN: Page 5 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 Q. Your knowledge of this loan is based upon a 2 review of records; right? 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. When did you first review the documents in 5 this case? 6 A. I reviewed the documents within -- when I 7 got assigned to the account. It was at least within 8 the last week. I mean, I reviewed up until this 9 morning. 10 Q. So about the last week is when you first 11 saw them. Have you seen the original note before 12 today? 13 A. I saw the original note earlier today. 14 Q. Earlier today? 15 A. The physical copy. 16 Q. When did you see the physical original 17 note? 18 A. Today. 19 Q. Just before trial? 20 A. Just before trial. 21 MR. ROSEN: Judge, unfortunately the Third 22 DCA in the Kelsey case has held -- I'll go ahead 23 and do it now. I'm going to object to the note 24 coming in, which is something I don't hardly 25 ever do, if ever. Done it once before. Page 6 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 THE COURT: Don't hardly ever do? 2 MR. ROSEN: Yes, I've done it once before. 3 THE COURT: Is that like hardly-hardly? 4 MR. ROSEN: In the Kelsey case was SunTrust 5 Mortgage case, Third DCA, and the witness had 6 just seen the note for the first time day of 7 trial. Saw it electronically a week or so 8 before, and the Third ruled you can't 9 authenticate the note. The note is not a 10 Nationstar note. It was originally with a 11 different lender, and even if he knows the 12 recordkeeping practices of Nationstar, that is 13 not Nationstar business records. 14 THE COURT: Mr. Drosky? 15 MR. ROSEN: I'll show you the Kelsey case. 16 THE COURT: No, I know it. 17 MR. DROSKY: Judge, this is an original 18 document, your Honor. We're not seeking to 19 introduce it as a business record. It's 20 self-authenticating. 21 MR. ROSEN: The note, as far as it being 22 self-authenticating, and this is the UCC. 23 Excuse me, this is the self-authentication 9902 24 rule is that its commercial papers and 25 signatures thereon and documents relating to Page 7 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 them to the extent provided in the Uniform 2 Commercial Code. The only thing UCC says about 3 authentication is the signature on the note, not 4 the note itself. I think the third could have 5 addressed that very easily, and based on that 6 same argument, they didn't for that exact 7 reason. 8 MR. DROSKY: I stand by it is 9 self-authenticating, Judge. 10 THE COURT: I'm going to let the note be 11 entered. 12 MR. ROSEN: It hasn't been moved in yet. 13 I'll just continue with this brief voir dire. 14 Thank you. 15 BY MR. ROSEN: 16 Q. Your title is not records custodian for 17 Nationstar; correct? 18 A. That is not my specific title, but it is 19 under my job duties. 20 Q. Your job duties, under your job duties is 21 the title record custodian? Is that what you just 22 said? 23 MR. DROSKY: Objection, asked and answered. 24 THE COURT: Overruled. Go ahead. You can 25 answer. Page 8 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 THE WITNESS: Can you rephrase that? 2 BY MR. ROSEN: 3 Q. Sure. Your title is not record custodian 4 and you said, yes; right? 5 A. Correct. I advised my title is default 6 case specialist. 7 Q. And your job responsibilities don't involve 8 -- or excuse me. Your job responsibilities, you 9 testified to, are all reviewing records, testifying 10 in trial, helping attorneys prepare for trial; 11 correct? 12 A. I stated that, and that I review and 13 maintain business records kept in the ordinary course 14 of business. 15 Q. You maintain the records yourself? 16 A. My company does. I am an agent of my 17 company, which is Nationstar Mortgage. 18 Q. I appreciate that. I just want to know 19 what you do physically, what you personally do, what 20 you touch, what you see. What do you do for the 21 company? You don't maintain records for the company; 22 is that right? 23 A. I personally do not scan the documents and 24 send them to storage. 25 Q. And you don't keep them, you're not Page 9 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 involved in the process of keeping records; correct? 2 A. I'm involved in the process of keeping 3 records as an agent of the company, but I personally, 4 as I just stated, do not scan nor send the documents 5 as part of my specific role. 6 Q. Do you supervise anyone who keeps or 7 maintains records in the system? 8 A. No. 9 Q. The documents, this loan in particular, was 10 not only serviced by Nationstar; is that right? 11 A. Correct. 12 Q. It was serviced by Aurora prior? 13 A. Correct. 14 Q. Prior to that, it was serviced by another 15 entity; is that right? 16 A. I'm not certain of the specific chain prior 17 to Aurora. I'm verifying that the prior servicer was 18 Aurora. 19 Q. Besides that, you don't know? 20 A. I don't know off the top of my head. 21 Q. Have you ever worked for Aurora? 22 A. To retract my statement, I believe the 23 prior servicer before that was Homecomings. 24 Q. Have you ever worked for Aurora? 25 A. I have not worked for Aurora. Page 10 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 Q. Have you ever worked for Homecomings? 2 A. No, I have not. 3 Q. And you have never, therefore, processed 4 payments at Aurora or Homecomings? 5 A. I have not personally. 6 Q. You have never supervised someone 7 processing payments at Aurora or Homecomings; isn't 8 that right? 9 A. Correct. 10 Q. You've never been in charge of processing 11 payments at Aurora or Homecomings; correct? 12 MR. DROSKY: Objection, your Honor, 13 relevance. He doesn't have to have personal 14 knowledge of every payment that went into the 15 system. He just has to have personal knowledge 16 of the business records and how they're kept for 17 his company. 18 THE COURT: Sustained. Seems like your 19 voir dire is getting close to cross-examination. 20 MR. ROSEN: I can say that the point I'm 21 going with this, Judge, Yang case speaks very 22 clearly of this, the Glarum case speaks very 23 clear to this: if there's a prior servicer 24 that's involved, and the Yang case was two 25 accountants. One accountant could not rely on Page 11 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 another accountant because he didn't know what 2 that other accountant did. If he never worked 3 for Aurora and the loan was serviced for Aurora, 4 and he never worked for Homecomings, and you're 5 going to see there are documents coming into 6 this case from another company he never worked 7 for, he never processed payments for, how can he 8 possibly authenticate? 9 You don't have to have personal knowledge 10 to know exactly who entered the payment. That's 11 not what Glarum or Yang says, but you do need 12 personal knowledge to that which you testify. 13 You can't just come up and repeat magic words, 14 the four prongs, and that's crystal clear in the 15 Yang case and Glarum, same thing. You have to 16 know what you're saying. You can't just, I know 17 the four things and I'm going to repeat them; 18 then the evidence comes in. That's not proper. 19 You need, under 9604, personal knowledge of that 20 which you're saying in court. 21 MR. DROSKY: Judge, I'm very familiar with 22 the Yang and the Glarum cases. Probably Glarum 23 is the world's worst witness in a foreclosure 24 case, and Yang, though not a foreclosure case, 25 is probably the world's second worst witness. Page 12 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 Those two witnesses didn't know anything about 2 their company's procedures, how their records 3 were kept. You couldn't ask for probably a 4 worse witness in either of those two cases. 5 Mr. Chibnik and I haven't even gotten into 6 the boarding process yet since we're voir diring 7 him, but he can authenticate records of the 8 prior servicer through the WAMCO case. That's 9 the whole reason why we have the hearsay rule 10 for business records because, otherwise, you 11 would have a line of witnesses out the door. 12 THE COURT: If you are objecting as to 13 Mr. Chibnik's competency to testify about this, 14 I'm going to overrule the objection. 15 MR. ROSEN: Just, specifically, if I may, 16 Judge, for the record, Glarum dealt with, again, 17 a prior servicer, the Yang case, again, dealt 18 with a prior entity, and the WAMCO case, again, 19 dealt with someone who actually boarded the 20 loan. So we'll cover that, and I appreciate 21 your ruling, Judge, and we'll move on. Thank 22 you. 23 MR. DROSKY: May I continue, Judge? 24 THE COURT: Please. 25 BY MR. DROSKY: Page 13 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 Q. Mr. Chibnik, was Nationstar the originator 2 of this loan? 3 A. No. 4 Q. Do you know when Nationstar started to 5 service this loan? 6 A. Nationstar began servicing this loan in 7 July of 2012 after an acquisition and purchase 8 agreement of Aurora in which Nationstar acquired all 9 of Aurora's servicing records, as well as actual 10 employees and business practices of Aurora. Aurora 11 employees became Nationstar employees. Those records 12 were thus transitioned to Nationstar. 13 Q. Do you know when Aurora started to service 14 this loan? 15 A. Aurora began to service the loan -- I don't 16 have the specific date. I would need to refresh my 17 memory, but it was a long time ago. I would need to 18 refresh my memory on the payment history. Prior to 19 Aurora, it was Homecomings, as I indicated. 20 Q. We'll get to the payment history in a 21 moment. Are you familiar, in general, what boarding 22 alone means? 23 A. Yes. 24 MR. ROSEN: Judge, if I may, I think the 25 witness may be referring to some notes in front Page 14 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 of him. Are those your notes? 2 THE WITNESS: This is just my standard 3 sheet. I don't need it. I can get rid of it or 4 if you would like to review it. 5 MR. ROSEN: Yes, just shouldn't be 6 referring to anything while on the stand. 7 THE COURT: Just put it up here or down 8 there. 9 MR. DROSKY: It appears to be face down, 10 Judge. 11 BY MR. DROSKY: 12 Q. Can you explain what your understanding of 13 the boarding process is? 14 A. Yes. Upon a transfer of servicing, the 15 prior servicer prepares a package of data and 16 documents pertaining to the subject loan. That 17 information is gathered. It is then put into a 18 package that is sent to the new servicer. In this 19 case, it was sent from Aurora to Nationstar. The 20 documents are put in that package. 21 They're sent digitally, as well as any physical 22 documents, to the new servicer if there is a 23 potential change in where they're storing those 24 documents; then the information is sent through the 25 onboarding process where the data is validated. Page 15 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 There's three levels of review. There's a 2 representative of Nationstar that reviews the 3 information that is obtained from the prior servicer. 4 They determine that the data is valid, the 5 information is correct on the account. They look for 6 any errors or inaccuracies. They address those 7 errors or inaccuracies and contact the prior 8 servicer, if need be, to address or correct those 9 errors or inaccuracies. 10 Once the data is validated, it is then 11 transitioned into our systems, put into the digital 12 imaging systems, maintained throughout our course of 13 business, so I think that's a fairly good summary of 14 the onboarding process. 15 Q. Was the Lawthorn loan, which is the subject 16 matter today, boarded by Nationstar? 17 A. Yes, it was. 18 Q. If there were any inaccuracies in the loan 19 documents, would that loan have been boarded by 20 Nationstar? 21 MR. ROSEN: Objection, speculation. 22 THE COURT: Rephrase. Sustained. Rephrase 23 the question. You can ask the proper cross. 24 BY MR. DROSKY: 25 Q. In what circumstances would the Lawthorn Page 16 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 loan not have been boarded by Nationstar? 2 A. It would not have been boarded if there 3 were inaccuracies that were irreconcilable. Any 4 inaccuracies that were determined to be 5 irreconcilable would be reconciled, and the loan 6 would have been boarded. 7 Q. You testified that you reviewed business 8 records for nonjury trial today. I'm going to show 9 you some and ask you to identify them. 10 MR. DROSKY: Your Honor, the original note 11 and mortgage are contained in the 2008 court 12 file. How would you like me to -- just hand the 13 Court file to the witness? 14 THE COURT: Doesn't matter, just take them 15 out or just hand it to him, as long as he can 16 identify them. 17 MR. DROSKY: They usually go crazy 18 downstairs when you take things out of court 19 files. 20 THE COURT: Well, I really don't care. 21 MR. ROSEN: Judge, I have to object to this 22 note coming into evidence. The plaintiff has 23 sought to amend its complaint and had an order 24 amending its complaint. The note attached to 25 the amended complaint is different materially Page 17 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 than what is here as the original note. 2 THE COURT: What is material? 3 MR. ROSEN: There's an additional 4 endorsement that is not on the note that's 5 attached to the amended complaint. This is the 6 original complaint as was submitted to the Court 7 for summary judgment. If there is a specific 8 endorsement to Deutsche Bank as trustee not 9 naming a trust. 10 The note attached to the amended complaint, 11 interestingly enough, has copies of every single 12 page. It even has those notes, and, I believe, 13 that's the judge's signature or initials that 14 they were accepted into evidence at summary 15 judgment. 16 If you keep flipping the page, every page 17 is identical, even the evidence of what I will 18 call the endorsement to Deutsche Bank is 19 noticeable on the amended complaint copy of the 20 note, but, yet, if you look at that page, 21 there's the back of the Judy Faber endorsement 22 that you can see right through here on this 23 page, but yet on the amended complaint, when you 24 flip to the next page, that's the endorsement in 25 blank. This was filed after this original was Page 18 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 filed. 2 Furthermore, the exhibits that we received 3 today in response to trial order, we requested 4 exhibits. We followed up with e-mails. The 5 copy of the original note, which was listed, 6 that's how it was listed on the exhibit list, 7 excuse me, on the copies of the exhibits that 8 were provided, provided this note, and the 9 parties are bound by their pleadings. 10 THE COURT: I'm very disturbed by this. 11 What's the explanation? 12 MR. DROSKY: I don't have an explanation at 13 this point, your Honor. We're going to get into 14 that with the witness. We're just trying to 15 seek to introduce it to the witness right now. 16 The test is prejudice, so I don't understand 17 that there would be any prejudice to defendant. 18 If there's prejudice to anybody in this case, it 19 would be to me in trying to prove my case. 20 MR. ROSEN: Just, this has nothing to do 21 with prejudice. This is what's been deemed as a 22 judicial admission by Erhart, parties are bound 23 by their pleadings. That's the note that's 24 coming in. 25 Furthermore, I appreciate why you're Page 19 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 disturbed about this because what appears to 2 have happened, while we're on this topic, Judge, 3 is the prior plaintiff was the specific 4 endorsee. Plaintiff sought to amend their 5 complaint and had to change to Aurora, and they 6 attach a note, Wellborn's office, not this 7 counsel, attached a note that would support that 8 cause of action, a note endorsed in blank, 9 knowing full well or should know at least under 10 the rules, under the definition of knowing the 11 preamble to the Rules of Professional Conduct, 12 connotating that as what you should know, that I 13 am -- and I knew, Judge. 14 I went down and looked at this file. I'm 15 representing the defendant. I didn't take over 16 this file from Stern's office, Wellborn's 17 office, and now Todd's office has gotten 18 involved. What implicated them in this process 19 is when they then gave me a copy of on original, 20 they quoted an original copy, and it's not. 21 So not only are they bound by their amended 22 complaint, it appears there might be something 23 that was done that was flipping a last page to 24 support a cause of action brought by Aurora or 25 Nationstar that would not have been supported by Page 20 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 the original note. I have a -- if it will help, 2 Judge, I got a -- 3 THE COURT: You know, I -- 4 MR. DROSKY: It's a nice theory, Judge, but 5 there's nothing to support this. This appears 6 to be a second action, and what happens in a lot 7 of cases when you have the case is that the 8 original note is sent back and then it is 9 endorsed by the owner because Deutsche Bank is 10 the owner of this note. They're not the 11 servicer. 12 MR. ROSEN: Judge, if the owner wanted to 13 endorse it, then they should have done that, and 14 that's the way it's properly done, not removing 15 endorsements after the fact to support a cause 16 of action, if that was done or not. I don't 17 want to make allegations here, but something 18 certainly seems wrong. 19 THE COURT: How can that endorsement have 20 disappeared? 21 MR. DROSKY: No, nothing disappeared, your 22 Honor. 23 THE COURT: Isn't that the amended 24 complaint has something without this? 25 MR. ROSEN: Is missing; correct. Page 21 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 MR. DROSKY: The amended complaint, this 2 endorsement is the same, your Honor, except now 3 it's specific, the blank endorsement is now a 4 specific endorsement to residential and a second 5 endorsement was added from residential to 6 Deutsche as the owner. 7 MR. ROSEN: But what's most disturbing 8 about the amended complaint is the prior page of 9 the note. The prior page that shows Judy 10 Faber's endorsement is there on their copy of 11 this last page, so they copied -- someone copied 12 pages one through four or five, and then the 13 endorsement which is supposed to be on the back 14 suddenly got substituted for something else. 15 THE COURT: Do you see what we're talking 16 about? 17 MR. DROSKY: No, I do, Judge. 18 MR. ROSEN: I printed out an overhead clear 19 projector sheet to help. 20 MR. DROSKY: This endorsement, this is 21 going to be really tough for the court reporter. 22 I apologize. This endorsement here, your Honor, 23 is the exact same one here. 24 THE COURT: Right. 25 MR. DROSKY: Now, on the original note, the Page 22 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 blank now has the residential line there. 2 THE COURT: Right. 3 MR. DROSKY: The second endorsement was 4 added from residential to Deutsche, which is the 5 owner. 6 MR. ROSEN: Which this was filed before 7 that. 8 MR. DROSKY: So there's nothing -- 9 THE COURT: Yes, but my problem is that 10 this was filed in 2008. Yes? 11 MR. ROSEN: 2009, actually. It was a lost 12 note count subsequently filed to support summary 13 judgment. 14 THE COURT: So in 2008/2009; right? 15 MR. DROSKY: Yes, Judge. 16 THE COURT: This was filed -- when was the 17 amended complaint filed? 18 MR. ROSEN: 2010, if I'm not mistaken, 19 Judge. Motion to amend was... 20 THE COURT: That's why I asked you. 21 MR. ROSEN: 2011, April 2011. 22 THE COURT: So two years later. How is it 23 Mr. Drosky, and the reason I asked you why did 24 this disappear is that this disappeared. 25 MR. DROSKY: Nothing disappeared, Judge. I Page 23 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 mean, when it was amended, somebody obviously 2 took the copy of the note from the original 3 complaint and attached it to the amended 4 complaint. 5 MR. ROSEN: There's no note attached to the 6 original complaint. Todd, sorry to cut you off. 7 It's just not true. 8 MR. DROSKY: There was one in the court 9 file. I saw it. 10 MR. ROSEN: On the original complaint, 11 there was no note. It was with Stern, and they 12 attached a sheet of paper that says what the -- 13 THE COURT: Can you find it in here? 14 MR. ROSEN: Sure. 15 THE COURT: Listen, this is going to take 16 more than the time I have today. Listen, if 17 something gets filed, it's got two stamps on it. 18 MR. DROSKY: Yes, Judge. 19 THE COURT: Okay. Two years later, one of 20 the stamps in the amended complaint that's 21 allegedly a true copy has one of those stamps 22 that is disappeared. Don't you see the problem? 23 MR. DROSKY: I see it as the reverse, your 24 Honor. The reverse situation happened. The 25 note had one endorsement, and then the second Page 24 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 one was added. He's trying to say that you went 2 from two to one; I'm saying we're going from one 3 to two. 4 THE COURT: That's what he's -- what Mr. 5 Rosen, not he, Mr. Rosen is telling me is that 6 originally there were two stamps on the back of 7 that note, and all of a sudden the amended 8 complaint sheds one of those stamps. 9 MR. DROSKY: No. 10 MR. ROSEN: That's correct. That's 11 absolutely correct, Judge. What was filed in 12 the Court in 2009 has two endorsements as an 13 original. The prior plaintiff's counsel files 14 an amended complaint with one of them missing, 15 but yet again, evidence of it there on the page 16 in front of it, a bleed through, if you will; 17 then I get a copy of an original note today as 18 an exhibit, or last night, yesterday sometime, 19 despite the fact we asked for exhibits well in 20 advance, et cetera, get it yesterday, and the -- 21 it's the exact same copy that has just the one 22 endorsement stating that's an original note, 23 which I know that's not an original note. 24 That's a misstatement to me. That's a 25 misstatement to the Court. I can show you that Page 25 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 filing as well as from this counsel, from this 2 counsel's firm, as well as what we see from 3 Wellborn's firm. The amended -- the complaint 4 from Stern was -- as far as I know, had no note, 5 and what it had was a sheet of paper. 6 It has just a mortgage, has a sheet of 7 paper to say what the note terms were. It was a 8 lost-note count. So that the first time a note 9 shows up at summary judgment with two stamps on 10 it supporting a right for some other person to 11 foreclose. 12 THE COURT: In 2009? 13 MR. ROSEN: 2009; correct. Then there's an 14 amended complaint filed with a different note or 15 different endorsements, although pages one 16 through five are identical, has the Judge's 17 initials, has the date. 18 THE COURT: I don't care about the first 19 five pages. My problem is with the back, page 20 five. 21 MR. DROSKY: Somebody obviously used the 22 incorrect copy of the note to attach to the 23 amended complaint. 24 THE COURT: But you're bound by what you 25 file. Page 26 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 MR. DROSKY: The original is in the court 2 file, your Honor. The original cures whatever 3 defects may have been in the previous filings. 4 MR. ROSEN: Judge, no way -- 5 THE COURT: The original is in the court 6 file? 7 MR. DROSKY: Yes, it is. 8 MR. ROSEN: Prior to the amended complaint. 9 The amended complaint is -- their exhibits 10 control our attachments for purpose thereof 11 under the rules. 12 THE COURT: I'm going to set you for a 13 couple hours. I don't have time to do this. I 14 really am concerned about this. 15 MR. ROSEN: I understand that, Judge. 16 Judge, would you consider ruling on this issue 17 today, or would you consider -- 18 THE COURT: No. I want to hear more, but 19 let's not -- both of these gentlemen I respect. 20 MR. ROSEN: Thank you. 21 THE COURT: There's nothing personal about 22 this, but I do have some concerns. These 23 documents, they're important. 24 MR. ROSEN: If I could just ask, your 25 Honor, to rule on the note not coming in. I Page 27 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 know just because I'm prejudiced now, they're 2 going to come back and have time to prepare for 3 this, and this is -- 4 THE COURT: You'll have time to prepare 5 too. 6 MR. ROSEN: I understand. Thanks, Judge. 7 THE COURT: Not next week. How much -- the 8 week after, do we have a trial? Are you in town 9 the week after next? The tenth so on Wednesday? 10 MR. ROSEN: Let me see my calendar real 11 quick. 12 THE COURT: You want to do it on Thursday 13 the 13th? 14 MR. DROSKY: I'm available, Judge. Mr. 15 Chibnik? 16 THE COURT: In my chambers. 17 THE WITNESS: I'll be here. 18 MR. ROSEN: Judge, I'm trying to find my 19 calendar. 20 THE WITNESS: Do you mind if I look at my 21 calendar as well as on my cell phone? 22 MR. DROSKY: I don't feel important. I'm 23 not looking at anything electronic for my 24 calendar. 25 THE COURT: You're an important person. Page 28 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 You're not bound by calendars. 2 MR. ROSEN: What date? 3 THE COURT: 13th. 4 MR. ROSEN: February 13th. 5 THE COURT: Day before Valentine's Day. 6 THE WITNESS: The only thing I would ask is 7 that it would be potentially ten a.m. or after 8 since I may be on the witness list for other 9 trials. 10 THE COURT: How late is my calendar that 11 day? You want to do it at 10:15 for as long as 12 it takes? I want to be sure I'm doing the right 13 thing. 14 MR. DROSKY: Yes, Judge. 15 THE COURT: I'm going give them as much 16 time as they want. The 20th is also available. 17 MR. DROSKY: Either one, Judge. 18 MR. ROSEN: Let's see if that's any better. 19 The 20th is better. 20 THE COURT: How about 10:15 for as long as 21 it takes you. 22 MR. ROSEN: 10:15. No new evidence -- 23 THE COURT: Well, the evidence is what the 24 evidence is. He's got his file there. 25 MR. ROSEN: No new witnesses at least in Page 29 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 the order, Judge, is that okay? He's not 2 finished his case, I understand. 3 THE COURT: It is what it is. I mean, 4 nobody is going to be changing anything in that 5 file. 6 MR. ROSEN: Do you want to hold on to it 7 for the next two weeks? 8 THE COURT: Just give it to Cornelius. 9 Sequester that file. 10 MR. DROSKY: We'll just write up an order 11 continuing to the 20th, your Honor. 12 THE COURT: 10:15 and as much as you guys 13 need. 14 MR. ROSEN: In 1105? 15 THE COURT: Yes. 16 THE WITNESS: Thank you. 17 MR. ROSEN: Thank you. 18 MR. DROSKY: Thanks, Judge. 19 (The hearing concluded at 11:11 a.m.) 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 30 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 1 REPORTER'S CERTIFICATE 2 3 I, THERESA RUST, Court Reporter, certify that I 4 was authorized to and did stenographically report the 5 foregoing proceedings and that this transcript, pages 6 1 through 30, is a true record of the proceedings 7 before the Court. 8 I further certify that I am not a relative, 9 employee, attorney, or counsel for any of the 10 parties, nor am I a relative or employee of any of 11 the parties' attorney or counsel connected with the 12 action, nor am I financially interested in the 13 action. 14 15 Dated this 5th day of February, 2014. 16 17 18 19 __________________________ THERESA RUST, 20 Court Reporter 21 22 23 24 25 Page 31 Veritext Florida Reporting Co. 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 & & 2:8 0 004248 1:3 1 1 31:6 10:15 29:11,20,22 30:12 10:45 1:12 1105 30:14 1111 2:10 11:11 1:12 30:19 13th 28:13 29:3,4 2 2008 1:3 17:11 23:10 2008/2009 23:14 2009 23:11 25:12 26:12,13 2010 23:18 2011 23:21,21 2012 14:7 2014 1:13 31:15 2028 2:4 204 2:4 20th 29:16,19 30:11 3 30 31:6 31 1:13 33020 2:5 33301 2:10 4 400-5150 2:5 5 522-3233 2:11 5th 31:15 7 73 1:11 754 2:5 9 954 2:11 9604 12:19 9902 7:23 a a.m. 1:12 29:7 30:19 absolutely 25:11 accepted 18:14 access 5:1 accessed 4:24 account 6:7 16:5 accountant 11:25 12:1,2 accountants 11:25 acquired 14:8 acquisition 14:7 action 20:8,24 21:6 21:16 31:12,13 actual 14:9 added 22:5 23:4 25:1 additional 18:3 address 16:6,8 addressed 8:5 admission 19:22 advance 25:20 advised 9:5 afternoon 3:9 agent 9:16 10:3 ago 14:17 agreement 14:8 ahead 6:22 8:24 al 1:8 allegations 21:17 allegedly 24:21 amend 17:23 20:4 23:19 amended 17:25 18:5 18:10,19,23 20:21 21:23 22:1,8 23:17 24:1,3,20 25:7,14 26:3,14,23 27:8,9 amending 17:24 answer 8:25 answered 8:23 anybody 19:18 apologize 22:22 appear 4:3 appearances 2:1 appears 15:9 20:1 20:22 21:5 appreciate 9:18 13:20 19:25 april 23:21 argument 8:6 asked 8:23 23:20,23 25:19 assigned 6:7 assist 4:1 attach 20:6 26:22 attached 17:24 18:5 18:10 20:7 24:3,5 24:12 attachments 27:10 attorney 2:2,7 31:9 31:11 attorneys 9:10 aurora 1:5 10:12,17 10:18,21,24,25 11:4 11:7,11 12:3,3 14:8 14:10,10,13,15,19 15:19 20:5,24 aurora's 14:9 authenticate 7:9 12:8 13:7 authenticating 7:20 7:22 8:9 authentication 7:23 8:3 authorized 31:4 available 28:14 29:16 b b 2:15 back 18:21 21:8 22:13 25:6 26:19 28:2 bank 18:8,18 21:9 based 6:1 8:5 began 14:6,15 behalf 3:10,12 believe 10:22 18:12 better 29:18,19 blank 18:25 20:8 22:3 23:1 bleed 25:16 boarded 13:19 16:16,19 17:1,2,6 boarding 13:6 14:21 15:13 boulevard 2:9 bound 19:9,22 20:21 26:24 29:1 brief 8:13 briefly 3:22 brought 20:24 broward 2:9 business 4:2,3,14 5:8,10 7:13,19 9:13 9:14 11:16 13:10 14:10 16:13 17:7 c ca 1:3 calendar 28:10,19 28:21,24 29:10 calendars 29:1 call 18:18 called 3:5 care 17:20 26:18 case 1:3 3:24 5:21 5:22 6:5,22 7:4,5,15 9:6 11:21,22,24 12:6,15,24,24 13:8 13:17,18 15:19 19:18,19 21:7 30:2 cases 12:22 13:4 21:7 cause 1:22 20:8,24 21:15 cell 28:21 [& -
