Pursuant to Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure Rule 15(a)(1)(B) Plaintiff takes this opportunity to

FRCP 15(a)(1)(B) states:

after service of a responsive pleading or 21 days after service of a motion under
9
Rule 12(b), (e), or (f), whichever is earlier. (emphasis added)

11
Although Plaintiff asserts that not only the Defendants but more specifically their counsel Dana Jonathon,
12
6136 Benchmark Way, Las Vegas, NV 89031
Nitz, Esq. should have very strong grasp of the allegations Plaintiff brought forth in the instant action.

ANTHONY COLEMAN
Plaintiff further asserts that Nitz’s renewed assertions in his filing of a 12(b)6 stating that Plaintiff lacks
Tel: (301) 686-1643
14
standing to assert the Void assignments and attempting to misdirect the Court asserting that Plaintiff’s
15
claims are barred by res judicata borderlines on actions that should be brought to the attention of the
16
Nevada Bar Association.

The Honorable Judge Navarro stated in Order (Doc. #77) in the matter of Coleman v. Homeward
19
Residential, Inc. et al 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-VCF dated January 2, 2013:
20
21
“As of September 2, 2008, when the Notice of Default was recorded in Clark County, the
22
Nevada foreclosure statutes provided that a sale made pursuant to section 107.080 may
23
be declared void if the trustee or other person authorized to make the sale does not
24
substantially comply with the provisions of section 107.080 or any applicable provision
25
of sections 107.086 and 107.087. See Nev. Rev. Stat. § 107.080(5)(a). This statute also
26
provides that a power of sale must not be exercised until the beneficiary, the successor in
27
28 VERIFIED FAC
2
interest of the beneficiary or the trustee first executes and causes to be recorded a notice
1
of the breach and of the election to sell the property or cause it to be sold. Nev. Rev. Stat.
2
§ 107.080(2)(c).
3
4
The matter of Coleman v. Homeward Residential, Inc. et al 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-VCF was dismissed
5
only because the remedy for Plaintiff’s claim of Statutorily Defective Foreclosure was that the Trustee’s
6
Sale was to be rescinded, which Defendants did just before trial. Incomplete defiance of the Honorable
7
Judge Navarro assertions to the Defendants that the Court finds that Plaintiff had plead facts showing
8
that a violation is plausible, not just possible, and that Plaintiff would most likely prevail at trial,
9
Defendants for over three years wasted this Court’s time and precious judicial resources repeatedly by
10
attempting to misdirect the Court’s attention through pleading inaccurate and misleading legal
11
interpretations pertaining to Wrongful Foreclosure that are inappropriate and immaterial.

ANTHONY COLEMAN
Based upon the ridiculous assertions of res judicata and lack of standing that Dana Jonathon, Nitz, Esq.
Tel: (301) 686-1643
14
made in his recent 12(b)6 filing Plaintiff hereby amends his complaint for Mr. Nitz’s clarity. Although
15
Mr. Nitz’s should have very strong grasp of the fact the very same VOID assignments that Plaintiff
16
identified in the matter of Coleman v. Homeward Residential, Inc. et al 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-VCF are
17
present in the instant matter and the only reason the matter 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-VCF was dismissed
18
was because the Defendants ended the Statutorily Defective Foreclosure by rescinding the NOT and
19
Trustee’s Sale. The inexplicable assertion that Plaintiff is barred by res judicata is beyond unfathomable,
20
the current Notice of Default pursuant to phantom beneficial interest asserted by the VOID assignments
21
that required Defendants to rescind the previous unlawful Trustee’s Sale is the only thing that is or should
22
be barred by res judicata.
23
24
As the situation has not changed in the fact that the current Notice of Default YET AGAIN was not
25
recorded by the beneficiary, successor in interest of the beneficiary, or the trustee at the time of the
26
recording as the Assignment of the Deed of Trust purporting to assign beneficial interest to Defendants
27
28 VERIFIED FAC
3
that was VOID in the matter of Coleman v. Homeward Residential, Inc. et al 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-VCF
1
is still VOID and beneficial interest has yet to ever been transferred to the Defendants rendering this
2
foreclosure just as Statutorily Defective as it was in the matter of Coleman v. Homeward Residential,
3
Inc. et al 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-VCF.
4
5
For all of the aforementioned reason Plaintiff will had specificity to his complaint in attempt to enhance
6
Mr. Nitz’s clarity that water is wet, snow is cold and Non-Judicial Foreclosures attempted by parties
7
lacking beneficial interest or agents of parties lacking beneficial interest are statutorily defective and in
8
direct violation of Nevada Revised Statutes.

PROCEDURAL HISTORY
1
2 23. This action arises out of foreclosure proceedings initiated against the property of pro se Plaintiff
3 Anthony Coleman. It is nonsensical and beyond belief that this second statutorily defective
9 Registration Systems, Inc. (“MERS”), as the lender’s “nominee.” (Id.) On September 25, 2008,
MERS, as nominee, assigned AHMAI’s interest in the Deed of Trust to American Home Mortgage
10
Servicing, Inc. (“AHMSI”). (Assignment of Deed of Trust, 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF No.
11
53-2.) In addition, the Court has taken judicial notice of an additional assignment in which MERS,
12 as nominee for AHMSI, purported to assign AHMSI’s interest in the Deed of Trust to Bank of New
6136 Benchmark Way, Las Vegas, NV 89031
Email: [email protected]
Although this document states that it was executed on November 25, 2009, it also states that this
Tel: (301) 686-1643
14
assignment was effective on October 27, 2004, despite the fact that the AHMSI did not become the
15
beneficiary until September 25, 2008. (Compare Assignment of Deed of Trust, ECF No. 53-5 with
16 Assignment of Deed of Trust, 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF No. 53-2.) Thereafter, on September
17 2, 2008, BONY, the purported beneficial interest holder, executed a substitution of trustee in which
18 BONY attempted to substitute AHMSI Default Services, Inc., in place of Fidelity, as trustee.
(Substitution of Trustee, 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF No. 53-3.) Also on September 2, 2008,
19
AHMSI Default Services, “as duly appointed Trustee,” recorded a Notice of Default and Election
20
to Sell on behalf of “the present Beneficiary.” (Notice of Default, 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF
21 No. 53-4.)
22
23 24. In response to these foreclosure proceedings, Plaintiff initiated this action on February 1, 2011, by
filing a Complaint before this Court alleging various causes of action. (Compl., 2:11-cv-00178-
24
GMN-LRL ECF No. 1.) After granting Defendants’ first Motion to Dismiss, the Court gave Plaintiff
25
leave to amend his Complaint by January 3, 2012. (Order, Dec. 8, 2011, 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL
26 ECF No. 41.) Plaintiff filed his Third Amended Complaint on February 13, 2012 in which Plaintiff
27
28 VERIFIED FAC
9
alleged two causes of action: (1) Statutorily Defective Foreclosure under section 170.080 of the
1 Nevada Revised Statutes; and (2) Quiet Title. (ECF No. 49.) The Court later dismissed Plaintiff’s
2 cause of action for Quiet Title, but found that Plaintiff had sufficiently stated a cause of action for
3 Statutorily Defective Foreclosure. (Order, Jan. 2, 2013, 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF No. 77.)
Specifically, the Court determined that Plaintiff had adequately alleged that Defendants failed to
4
satisfy the requirements of section 107.080 when Defendants recorded the Notice of Default. (Id. at
5
6:6–20.) Specifically, the Court concluded that the publicly recorded documents appeared to indicate
6 that “the Notice of Default was not recorded by the beneficiary, successor in interest of the
7 beneficiary, or the trustee at the time of the recording.” (Id. at 6:16–18.) Thus, Plaintiff’s cause of
8 action for Statutorily Defective Foreclosure survived Defendants’ second motion to dismiss, for
which the statutory remedy is voiding the trustee’s sale. See Nev. Rev. Stat. § 107.080(5)
9
10
25. Thereafter, on April 11, 2013, Defendants filed a Motion Authorizing Recordation of Rescission of
11 Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale, (2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF No. 95), which the Court granted at the
12 April 23, 2013 hearing. Specifically, Defendants stated that “[o]nce the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale
6136 Benchmark Way, Las Vegas, NV 89031
Email: [email protected]
has been rescinded, Defendants intend to record and serve a new Substitution of Trustee and Notice
13
ANTHONY COLEMAN
of Trustee’s Sale, which will resolve the issues identified in various orders entered by this Court.”
Tel: (301) 686-1643
14
(Mot. 5:18–20, 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF No. 95.) Defendants further represented that after
15 the rescission was recorded, they “intend[ed] to file a motion requesting an order dismissing this
16 action as moot and expunging the Notice of Lis Pendens recorded by Plaintiff.” (Id. at 5:20–22.)
17 Defendant T.D. Service filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. (2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF
No. 108.)
18
19
26. On March 14, 2014 a hearing was held for oral arguments on Defendant T.D. Service’s Motion for
20 Summary Judgment. (2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF No. 108) In its motion, T.D. Service asserts
21 that summary judgment is appropriate for two reasons. First, T.D. Service asserts that the fact that
22 Plaintiff was in default precludes Plaintiff from recovering money damages for his statutorily
defective foreclosure claim. (Mot. for Summ. J. 6:6–9:5, 2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF No. 108.)
23
Second, T.D. Service argues that the Notice of Default was properly recorded because the current
24
beneficiary under the deed of trust later ratified the foreclosure proceedings. (Id. at 9:6–10:12.) For
25 the reasons discussed at the March 14, 2014 hearing and for the reasons discussed in the ORDER
26
27
28 VERIFIED FAC
10
dated July 17, 2014 (2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL ECF No. 135.), the Court rejected these arguments
1 and DENIED T.D. Service’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
2
3 27. On August 1, 2014 Plaintiff filed a Motion In Limine requesting that the Court preclude Defendants
from arguing inaccurate and misleading legal interpretations to the jury (2:11-cv-00178-GMN-LRL
4
ECF No. 137.) On August 4, 2014 Plaintiff filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings pursuant
5
to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c) mistakenly mistitled as “Plaintiff’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment”.
6
7 28. Thereafter, on August 18, 2014 the law offices of Wright Finlay & Zak, LLP, and counsel for the
8 Defendants, Homeward Residential, Inc., Power Default Services, Inc., and Mortgage Electronic
Registration Systems, Inc. recorded a Notice of Rescission of Notice of Default and Election to Sell
9
Under Deed of Trust and a Notice of Rescission of Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale, recorded in the Clark

accepting the transfer and assignment of non-qualified investments (i.e., loans in default, non-
17
performing loans and loans with below 80% Value-To-Loan ratios, loans assigned to the Trust after
18
the Trust’s closing date), Defendants have violated the tax status of the REMIC and have now
19
subjected the entire Trust, valued at $380,200,100 to tax liabilities which, on information and belief,
20
has not been paid. In addition to his own loan, Plaintiff have discovered and identified at least
21
twenty (20) other loans with similar defects and are therefore whistleblowers and claim rights to a
22
percentage of benefits the IRS will ultimately receive for the Defendant’s AHMI2004-4 tax

26

and executed after the Closing Date of AHMI2004-4 Trust constitute a pattern and practice of non-

81. Similarly, by accepting the transfer and assignment, Defendants have made material
4
misrepresentations as to the value of the Trust and its performance to its investors/Certificateholders
5
and have violated SEC laws, among others. Plaintiff is therefore whistleblowers to SEC § 10b and

BOTCHED SECURITIZATION

Trust. The Trust pays for the notes with the proceeds of bonds or bond like instruments issued by
Tel: (301) 686-1643
14
the Trust. The notes themselves are typically owned by the Trust, for the benefit of investors, who
15
are sometimes called Certificateholders. The Investors are entitled to payment from the proceeds
16
of the note repayments. Since the bonds are secured by the proceeds of the notes, the bonds are
17
known as “mortgage backed” securities.
18
19
83. The AHMI2004-4 Trust is a New York Trust formed to act as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment
20
Conduit, or “REMIC”. In order for a Mortgage Backed Securities Trust (“MBS”) to qualify for the
21
federal tax REMIC status, one of the many very specific rules that must be followed is that trust
22
assets must be “Bankruptcy Remote”. Issuers of the REMIC Trusts have signed themselves up
23
under oath with the SEC and the IRS as mortgage pass-through assets, qualifying as REMICs rather
24
than an ordinary Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). As long as the MBS is a qualified REMIC,
25
no income tax will be charged to the MBS. REMICS were newly invented in 1987 as a tax
26
minimizing measure by Investment Banks. When filing as a REMIC, MBS’s are forbidden from

27
engaging in any prohibited action that would jeopardize the REMIC tax status as the penalty would
1
result in a one hundred percent (100%) taxation by the IRS.
2
3
84. Most importantly, an assignment of the “Note” to the “Trust” after the closing date is a “Prohibited
4
Transaction” which jeopardizes the favorable tax status accorded a “REMIC”. This transaction
5
would be in contradiction to the TRUST Laws” and is therefore “VOID”.
6
7
85. Taxation on contributions after startup are governed by 26 U.S.C. §§ 860G(d)(1) which states:
8
“Except as provided in paragraph (2), if any amount is
9 contributed to a REMIC after the startup day, there is hereby
10 imposed a tax for the taxable year of the REMIC in which the
11 contribution is received equal to 100 percent of the amount of
12 such contribution.”

14
“There is hereby imposed for each taxable year of a REMIC a
15
tax equal to 100 percent of the net income derived from
16 prohibited transactions.”
17
18 87. Pursuant to the IRC, REMICs are treated as pass-through vehicles for tax purposes and enjoy tax-
19 free exemptions and bankruptcy remote protection. Generally, non-compliance with REMIC
20 requirements subjects a REMIC to loss of its tax-free status and bankruptcy-remote privileges. The
21 Prospectus, together with applicable New York Trust Law, forbid and void any action which might
22 jeopardize the tax status of any REMIC and/or impose any tax upon the Trust for prohibited
23 contributions of transactions. A copy of the Prospectus was filed under oath with the SEC and is

88. Plaintiff’s initial investigation has confirmed that the Defendants were involved in an attempt to
1
securitize the mortgage. These parties likely intended to assign and transfer the mortgage into the
2
AHMI2004-4 Trust. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and based on such information and belief,
3
avers that, allege that the void assignment and the attempted transfer to securitize the mortgage
4
failed to comply with statutory law, the Prospectus for the Trust, or applicable state and federal law.
5
Plaintiff further allege the mortgage was not properly securitized and that his Note and Deed were
6
never assigned and transferred to the AHMI2004-4 Trust. Based on either scenario, Defendants
7
have no right or beneficial interest in the collateral and have improperly and fraudulently utilized
8
the foreclosure statutes against Plaintiff and as such created an unfair business advantage over
9
Plaintiffs.
10

89. Typically, the owners of the mortgage backed securities are investors in large investment pools

15
Rather, the tasks of payment processing, escrow maintenance, loss mitigation and instituting and
16
managing foreclosure are collectively known as “servicing” and carried out by a “Loan Servicer”.
17
18
91. When the Servicers collect loan payments from the borrowers, the Servicers transfer those
19
payments to the Trustee of the Trust (“Trustee”), which then distributes the payments to the Trust’s
20
beneficiaries, i.e., the Investors. Therefore, each Trust is primarily administered by two entities:
21
the Trustee, who is the “face” of each Trust with the Investors, and the Servicer (sometimes called
22
a Master Servicer), who is the “face” of each Trust with the borrowers. Because a Trustee holds
23
the Trust corpus for the beneficiaries, a Servicer will act in the name of the Trustee when taking
24
action against borrowers, which includes the Servicers in the name of a Trustee bringing foreclosure
25
actions against a borrower who is allegedly delinquent on his loan payments.

and belief, avers that Defendants’ failure to adhere to all statutes and relevant laws pertaining to the
4
pooling and servicing of those loans securitized into the AHMI2004-4 Trust is a matter of public

policy and common law.

95. Under New York Trust Law, an asset does not become trust property until the asset is delivered to
15
the Trustee. (“It has long been the law in New York that to subject an asset to the terms of a trust
16
that has an independent Trustee…, a grantor must have the intent to make a present gift to the trust
17
and must make sufficient delivery of the assets of the trust to the Trustee.”) Warren’s Heaton on
18
Surrogate’s Court Practice 13 App. 4-46 (Linda B. Hirschson et al. eds., 7th ed. 2006). Moreover,
19
NY Estates, Powers and Trusts Law § 7-2.4 states: “If the trust is expressed in the instrument
20
creating the estate of the Trustee, every sale, conveyance or other act of the Trustee in contravention
21
of the trust, except as authorized by this article and by any other provision of law is void.”

BNYM’s claim to own the Note. Plaintiff further allege that under applicable New York Trust

97. The issue of defective assignments in the securitization process has been the focus of state and
4
federal court case decisions, Attorneys General investigations, and Congressional reports. On each
5
level, state and federal entities have concluded that a failure in the securitization process results in
6
a break in the chain of title and the inability of the Securitized Trust to enforce the Note and Deed

“Bank of America misrepresented both in communications with Nevada consumers and in

AHMI2004-4 Trust’s acceptance of Plaintiff’s loan on September 30, 2008 is not a violation of any

rendering the ADOT voidable, the ADOT recorded in the Clark County Recorder’s Office on 12-

Plaintiff’s declaratory relief claim is cognizable as an independent cause of action.

22
23
194. When a homeowner obtains a loan to purchase a home, they are required to sign two documents: a
24
promissory note and a mortgage (or Deed of Trust). While a promissory note is basically an IOU
25
that contains the promise to repay the loan, the mortgage or Deed of Trust is the document that
26
27
28 VERIFIED FAC
56
pledges the property as security for the loan. It is the mortgage or Deed of Trust that permits a
1
lender to foreclose if a borrower fails to make the monthly payments.
2
3
195. Mortgage transfers between banks are common; however, when a mortgage is transferred from one
4
party to another, it must be documented and recorded in the county records. The document used to
5
transfer a mortgage from one mortgagee to another is called an assignment of mortgage. Like
6
mortgages, when a Deed of Trust is transferred from one party to another, it must be documented
7
and recorded in the county records. The document used to transfer a Deed of Trust from one
8
beneficiary to another is called an assignment of Deed of Trust.
9
10
196. Assignments and endorsements are the ways that these documents are transferred between banks.
11
An “assignment” is the document that is the legal record of this transfer from one mortgagee to
12
6136 Benchmark Way, Las Vegas, NV 89031
another. In a typical transaction, when the mortgagee sells the debt to another bank, an assignment
Email: [email protected]
13
ANTHONY COLEMAN
is recorded and the promissory note is endorsed (signed over) to the new bank. These documents
Tel: (301) 686-1643
14
are separate and each has its own distinct set of rules that are governed by Article 3 and Article 9
15
of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.
16
17
197. When mortgages are transferred frequently, assignments are sometimes neglected. Defendant
18
MERS, a company created by the mortgage banking industry, was developed to track ownership of
19
mortgages. This eliminates the need for separate assignments when the loan is transferred. In some
20
mortgage transactions, the mortgage will designate MERS as the mortgagee (solely as a nominee
21
for the lender). These loans are referred to by MERS as Original Mortgagee (MOM) loans. In
22
other cases, the loan may be assigned to MERS (solely as a nominee for the lender) at some point
23
later in its life cycle after the loan closes. MERS then acts as an agent for the owner of the loan,
24
but it never owns the mortgage loan or services it.
25
26
27
28 VERIFIED FAC
57
198. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and based on such information and belief, avers that
1
WILMINGTON relinquished its rights, title, and interest to Plaintiff’s loan. An assignment
2
transfers all of the interest the original mortgagee had under the mortgage (or Deed of Trust) to the
3
new bank. Generally, the mortgage (or Deed of Trust) is recorded shortly after the mortgagors sign
4
it and, if the mortgage is subsequently transferred, each assignment is to be recorded in the county
5
land records.
6
7
199. Plaintiff further allege that Defendant MERS purportedly assigned Plaintiff’s Note and Deed of
8
Trust thru assignment of the Note and Deed of Trust recorded in the Clark County Recorder’s Office
9
on 12-4-2009 as instrument #20091204-0001999.
10
11
200. However, since the loan was neither properly transferred nor transferred in a timely manner to the
12
6136 Benchmark Way, Las Vegas, NV 89031
Trust, Defendants have no legal authority to foreclose and the assignments are void ab initio. Also

Wilmington Finance, Inc. lacks any authority because it sold its ownership interest in Plaintiff’s

201. Plaintiff alleges that for the foregoing reasons, no Defendant in this action has a right to foreclose
17
and has no rights to assert against Plaintiff’s home.
18
19
202. As alleged above, although the assignment, substitutions and notice of Trustee sale appear valid on
20
their face, they are invalid and of no legal force and effect, for the reasons set forth above including,
21
inter alia, the Deed of Trust which purportedly secured the Note, which served as the basis for a
22
claim to have the right to conduct a non-judicial foreclosure which became void as a result of the
23
bungled securitization and the Defendants acting without any legal standing and authority from the

Tel: (301) 686-1643

to the laws on foreclosure and sale. (see Hamm v. Arrowcreek Homeowners' Ass'n, 124 Nev. 290,

16
17 289. Plaintiff is informed and believe, and based on such information and belief, avers that to enforce
the obligation by non-judicial foreclosure and sale, "[t]he deed and note must be held together
18
because the holder of the note is only entitled to repayment, and does not have the right under the
19
deed to use the property as a means of satisfying repayment." (see Cervantes v. Countrywide Home
20 Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d 1034, 1039 (9th Cir. 2011).
21
22 290. Plaintiff is informed and believe, and based on such information and belief, avers that "Conversely,

291. Defendants have commenced foreclosure of Plaintiff’s property through the non-judicial statutory

scheme set forth in Nevada. Their action is improper because they own no beneficial interest in the
3
collateral (i.e., Deed of Trust) and have unlawfully commenced the foreclosure process based on
4
purported transfers, assignments and endorsements of the Note and Deed of Trust to which the
5
Defendants claim the beneficial rights and interests. As discussed below, Defendants’ claimed
6
interest is false.
7
8
292. As alleged above, the purported assignments have two (2) major defects which render any interests
9
assigned void ab inito as follows:
10
11
FIRST DEFECT
12
6136 Benchmark Way, Las Vegas, NV 89031
293. MERS cannot hold an interest in property. The ADOT also purportedly assigned Plaintiff’s Note.
Email: [email protected]
13
ANTHONY COLEMAN
14
15
294. By virtue of the above-referenced defects in the documents executed by the original lender, all of
16
the assignments, Notice of Default, Substitutions of Trustee, and Trustee’s Sale were and are void
17
and without any legal effect. Since the original Deed of Trust was never properly and lawfully
18
assigned and the Note has been sold, there has been a permanent separation of the Note and
19
collateral which as a matter of law renders the collateral void.
20
21
295. Defendant MERS executed an assignment of Deed of Trust purportedly transferring all beneficial
22
interest to Defendant BNYM as Trustee for AHMI2004-4, together with the Note.
23
24
SECOND DEFECT
25
296. As alleged herein, Defendant BNYM as Trustee for AHMI2004-4 had to comply with certain terms
26
and conditions, which are set forth in the Prospectus in accordance with certain New York State
27
28 VERIFIED FAC
74
laws regarding trusts and certain Federal Internal Revenue statutes concerning Real Estate
1
Investment Mortgage Conduit (“REMIC”). The PSA for Defendant BNYM as Trustee for
2
AHMI2004-4 had a closing date of the Trust on December 21, 2004. Pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 860
3
A-G, a mortgage backed security trust can only receive qualified investments. Defendants filed a
4
Notice of Default reflecting that Plaintiff’s Note was in default and as such, at the time of the
5
purported transfer to Defendant AHMI2004-4, Plaintiff’s loan was not a qualified investment and
6
could not be accepted into the trust pool.
7
8
297. Defendants’ purported transfer of Plaintiff’s loan to Defendant AHMI2004-4 was after December
9
21, 2004, the closing date for the Trust. Any transfers after the closing date, are void and a violation
10
of public policy and the IRC. Additionally, any transfer after the closing date is prohibited by the
11
REMIC statute in order to preserve the tax treatment provided to the Trust.
12

13
ANTHONY COLEMAN
298. These defects are incurable and render any assignments void. Since the purported assignment was
Tel: (301) 686-1643
14
the basis for the non-judicial foreclosure, finding them void provides no beneficial right or interest
15
and prevents the non-judicial foreclosure process from proceeding.
16
17
299. Upon information and belief, none of the Defendants were the purported foreclosing beneficiary
18
upon the property.
19
20
300. As set forth above, since Defendant BNYM’s status as beneficiary is void ab initio, Defendants did
21
not have the authority to exercise the power of sale clause within the Deed of Trust and therefore
22
lacked the authority to appoint a Substitute Trustee and/or initiate foreclosure based upon defaults
23
known to Defendants. Consequently, the entire foreclosure procedure is statutorily defective.
24

27

75
301. Plaintiff alleges that the foreclosure proceedings were initiated by Defendants without privilege and
1
with malice, as the Defendants knew that they were not the true beneficiary and/or creditor and thus

3
4
302. As stated above, Defendants were not owed any money; could not duly appoint a substituted
5
Trustee; and had no pecuniary interest in the loan nor was the beneficiary of the Note and Deed of
6
Trust. Therefore, despite the fact that said Defendants knew that they were not the true beneficiary

305. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff alleges the Note and Deed of Trust, as the same described
17
above, were improperly pledged or sold to another party and such sale was not done in accordance
18
with Article 3 or Article 9 of the New York or Nevada Commercial Code, was contrary to the
19
documents filed with the SEC governing Defendants’ Trust and the REMIC statute, and was
20
therefore improper and failed to confer any legally cognizable rights in any party claiming to be a
21
pecuniary beneficiary of Plaintiff’s Note and Deed of Trust.
22
23
306. As such, Plaintiff alleges that no true sale of the Note and Deed of Trust, as required per
24
securitization documents, ever actually took place between any of the intermediaries in the
25
securitization chain. Thus, Plaintiff is open to double or triple financial jeopardy from unknown
26
claimants.
27
28 VERIFIED FAC
76
1
307. At no point in time did the purported original beneficiary of the Deed of Trust assign its interest in
2
the property to any purported holder in due course of the Note or mortgage.
3
4
308. Since Defendants had no interest that was assigned to them, they could not authorize to proceed
5
with a foreclosure.
6
7
309. On information and belief, at the time Defendants commenced the foreclosure proceedings, they
8
had no legal or equitable interest in the Note and Deed of Trust and thus no amount was owed from
9
Plaintiff to Defendants or the beneficiary of the Note and Deed of Trust.
10

310. Plaintiff is informed and believe, and based on such information and belief, avers that in light of all

311. Plaintiff is informed and believe, and based on such information and belief, avers that neither
16
Defendants nor their agents are/or possess the power or authority to invoke the “Power of Sale”
17
clause and perform a non-judicial foreclosure.
18
19
312. Plaintiff is informed and believe, and based on such information and belief, avers that neither
20
Defendants nor their agents are/or possess the power or authority to substitute the Trustee under the
21
Deed of Trust.
22
23
313. Plaintiff is informed and believe, and based on such information and belief, avers that Defendants

Defective Foreclosure” under Nevada Revised Statutes.

3 THIRD DEFECT
4 315. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and based on such information and belief, avers that the ADOT
5 identified as Instrument No. 20080930-0002777 is prima facie evidence that the assignment fails
6 to be executed by ‘Attorney in Fact” and as such it was not executed in the manner required and is
7 therefore VOID.
8
9 316. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and based on such information and belief, avers that for execution
10 by an attorney in fact, requiring only that "[w]hen an attorney in fact executes an instrument
11 transferring an estate in real property, he must subscribe the name of his principal to it, and his own

ANTHONY COLEMAN
317. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and based on such information and belief, avers that the ADOT

14
did not subscribe the name of his principal to it, and his own name as attorney in fact as required
15
and is therefore VOID.
16
17
18 CONCLUSION
19
318. The complexity in this case comes not from the theory pled, but rather from the fact that the broad
20
spectrum of law that this matter encompasses is complex and involved. Plaintiff is informed and
21
believes, and based on such information and belief, avers that if the Court declares that the ADOT
22
recorded in the Clark County Recorder’s Office on 12-4-2009 as instrument #20091204-0001999
23
is a true and valid transaction and as such created a taxable event causing the Defendants to owe
24
tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes, that Plaintiff assert that the Defendants have not
25
reported nor paid, making Plaintiff third party beneficiaries as whistleblowers pursuant to 26 U.S.C.
26
§ 7801 (1982 as amended) for the purpose of reporting potential violations of Internal Revenue
27
28 VERIFIED FAC
78
laws and Securities Laws. And if the Court declares that the ADOT is VOID, Defendants have
1
committed fraud and deceit violating New York General Business Law § 349; Nevada Business
2
and Professional Code, Et Seq.; 15 U.S.C. § 1692 Et Seq.; 15 U.S.C. § 1641(G); and Nevada
3
Revised Statutes requiring the cancellation of instruments and the ruling that the foreclosure is
4
Statutorily Defective. Plaintiff have relied on the representations made by Defendants that the
5
lender was his true creditor with the power to collect payments and modify his loan. Plaintiff need
6
the declaration of the Court to determine whether or not the Defendants have any legal or corporate
7
authority to engage in debt collection activities against them, and the authority to modify Plaintiff’s
8
loan.
