IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND

Thomas P. Dore, Mark S. Devan, Kristen K. Haskins, Gerard F. Miles Jr., and Shannon Menapace As Substituted Trustees Plaintiff, VS. Todd Wetzelberger et al Defendants ) ) ) ) ) MOTION FOR LEAVE TO ) PERPETUATE EVIDENCE PER MD RULE 2-404(b) ) ) CASE NO. 03-C-10-000465

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PERPETUATE EVIDENCE PER MD RULE 2-404(b) COMES NOW, Todd Wetzelberger and Erin Rene Wetzelberger per Md. Rule 2-404(b) and moves the court to enter an Order granting Defendants leave to Perpetuate Evidence for use in the event of further proceedings in the Circuit Court per Md. Rules 2-411, and 2-422, and for good cause as follows: A. REASONS FOR PERPETUATING EVIDENCE

1. M&T Bank Corporation (MTB) and/or its/their purported agents, principals and assigns,
including but not limited to Plaintiffs, Thomas P. Dore et al., are in exclusive possession and control of critical documents and information regarding its conduct and claims.

2. This subject matter involves real property in possession and control of Defendants and the
controversy associated with the identity of the bona fide real party in interest claiming the status as purported creditor. 3. In anticipation of a fraudulent non-judicial foreclosure attempt outside of judicial review, with no lawful standing to do so, Defendants served pre-complaint discovery requests on MTB and Dore et al.

4. The controversy also involves the alleged amount of money purportedly claimed to be due
and owing from Defendants to unknown creditor(s) under the purported loan, in truth an undisclosed investment contract that Defendants were made an unwitting party to, violating the statute of frauds per Md. Code, Com Law 2-201. See also Miller v. Ameriquest Mortg. Co. (In re Laskowski), 384 B.R. 518 (U.S. BK N.D. Indiana SB 2008), prohibiting violation of RESPA and Qualified Written Request demands (emphasis in bold). A "qualified written request" ("QWR") is a legal term of art found in the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA"), 12 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. It is "a written correspondence . . . that (i) includes . . . the name and account of the [purported] borrower; and (ii) includes a statement of the reasons for the belief of the [purported] borrower, to the extent applicable, that the account is in error or provides sufficient detail to the servicer regarding other information sought by the [purported] borrower." 12 U.S.C. 2605(e)(1)(B). In addition, 2605(e) requires that "any servicer of a federally related mortgage loan" which receives a QWR from the borrower or its agent "shall provide a written response acknowledging receipt of the correspondence within 20 days" and shall "make appropriate corrections" to the [purported] borrower's account or "provide the [purported] borrower with a written explanation" within 60 days. 12 U.S.C. 2605(e)(1)(A), (e)(2). The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA") is a federal statute enacted to provide consumers "with greater and more timely information on the nature and costs of the settlement process" and to protect consumers from "unnecessarily high settlement charges caused by certain abusive practices." 12 U.S.C. 2601(a). Its purpose is "to effect certain changes in the settlement process for residential real estate that will result" in better disclosure of settlement costs to home buyers and sellers, elimination of kickbacks, reduction in amounts escrowed for payment of taxes and insurance, and other reforms. Id., 2601(b); See Williams v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 504 F. Supp. 2d 176, 191 (S.D. Tex. 2007). The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA") imposes a duty upon loan servicers to respond to certain [purported] borrower inquiries. The Act provides for individual causes of action and "allows for actual damages, as well as statutory damages upon a showing of a pattern or practice of noncompliance with the duty to respond to borrower inquiries." Hopkins v. First NLC Fin'l Servs, LLC (In re Hopkins), 372 B.R. 734, 746 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 2007) (citation omitted). 5. In an attempt to avoid litigation, Defendant has served multiple pre-suit discovery requests over the past few years, for substantiation, validation, and authentication of the purported debt

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Page 3of 23

claimed to be due and owing. Those requests were never complied with by MTB and its/their agents, principals or assigns.

6. On or about June 21, 2009, over 6 months before Substituted Trustees Dore et al
filed a fraudulent foreclosure case against the legal estate of TODD G. WETZELBERGER, M&T Bank received a Qualified Written RESPA Request (QWR) sent via certified mail #
7009 0080 0001 6021 2851 for an audit of Account #0011973187 per Fair Debt Collection

Practices Act, 15 USC 1692G Section 908(b) of all official documents that would establish validity of the purported debt and allow a team of analysts to review all official contracts, records, ledger entries, the original genuine (free from fraud or forgery) promissory note, original, genuine (free from fraud or forgery) DOT, and book keeping practices pertaining to Acct. # 0011973187. (Def. Exhibit Ex. 1)

7. Per Federal Law, the respondent to a RESPA QWR had 60 business days to fully
comply with the request as mandated.

8. MTB and Dore et al. had a duty to comply with said discovery requests and
validation of purported claim per federal mandates as defined in 15 U.S.C. and 12 U.S.C., per RESPA, TILA, FDCPA and commercial law as codified in Md. Code, Com. Law.

9. M&T Bank failed/ refused to fully and substantively answer said QWR and to
comply with state and federal law requiring M&T Bank to do so.

10. The information necessary to conduct forensic accounting regarding Acct. #

0011973187, including the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (PSA), verified chain of

custody of the original security(s) (unaltered, genuine, free from fraud or forgery, wet ink signature promissory note and DOT), that after 1050 days, has not been provided in direct violation of Federal law.

11. Defendants investigation revealed that Todd Wetzelbergers personal property,

the 3 page original genuine (free from fraud or forgery) wet ink signature interest-only period fixed rate note #0011973187, dated December 22, 2006, is not owned or held by MTB, but is currently being traded through the Fidelity Independence Fund, Symbol

FDFFX. Inception date 3-25-83, net assets in fund $4.28 Billion.

Page 4of 23

12. Per Md. Code, Com. Law 3-501, Petitioner conditionally accepted the offer of MTB to
illegally foreclose on Defendants real property, without a court order of sale, for alleged failure to pay on the purported loan, upon proof of claim.

13. To rebut the presumption that Defendants are deadbeats and to stay in commercial honor,
Defendants tendered legal tender funds with a neutral third party escrow agent in exchange for the production of Todd Wetzelbergers personal property, the original genuine unaltered, unbifurcated note and deed of trust.

14. Despite the failure of MTB and its/their agents to substantively reply to Defendants
notices and demands, and failure to provide proof of claim, MTB and its/their agents attempted an illegal foreclosure sale.

15. Unsubstantiated documentation is impermissible throughout the country per state and
federal rules of evidence. See generally Aurora Loan Servs. LLC v. Carlsen, 2011 WI App 58 (March 24, 2011) in which the Court reasoned and held as follows (emphasis in bold): P7 Aurora argues that Conner's testimony is sufficient to support the circuit court's finding that Aurora had been assigned the note. Our review of her testimony, however, reveals that Conner lacked the personal knowledge needed to authenticate Exhibit D. See Wis. Stat. 909.01 (documents must be authenticated to be admissible, and this requirement is satisfied "by evidence sufficient to support a finding that the matter in question is what its proponent claims"). Relevant here, Conner made general assertions covering several documents. Conner either affirmatively testified or agreed to leading questions with respect to the following: She works for Aurora. She "handle[s] legal files" and she "attend[s] trials." "Aurora provided those documents that are in [her] possession." She "reviewed the subject file" in preparing for the hearing. She declined to agree that she is the "custodian of records for Aurora." She "look[s] at documentation ... [does] not physically handle original notes and documents, but [she does] acquire documentation." "Aurora [is] the custodian of records for this loan."

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Page 5of 23

She is "familiar with records that are prepared in the ordinary course of business." She has "authority from Aurora to testify as to the documents, of [Aurora's] records." As it specifically pertains to Exhibit D, the document purporting to be evidence of the assignment of the note and mortgage from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems to Aurora, Conner testified: Aurora has "possession of Exhibit D." Exhibit D is "an assignment of mortgage." With respect to possession of Exhibit D, Conner did not assert that Exhibit D was an original or that Aurora had possession of the original document. For that matter, Conner did not provide a basis for a finding that any original document she might have previously viewed was what it purported to be. 2 P8 Thus, Conner did no more than identify herself as an Aurora employee who was familiar with some unspecified Aurora documents, who had reviewed some Aurora documents, and who had brought some documents, including Exhibit D, to court. Although Conner was able to say that Exhibit D, on its face, was an assignment, she had no apparent personal knowledge giving her a basis to authenticate that document. See Wis. Stat. 909.01.P12 In sum, Aurora failed to authenticate Exhibit D, the document purporting to be an assignment of the note. Thus, regardless of other alleged proof problems relating to that note and the Carlsens' alleged default, the circuit court's finding that Aurora was the holder of the note is clearly erroneousno admissible evidence supports that finding. Aurora failed to prove its case, and it was not entitled to a judgment of foreclosure.

16. The copy of the Deed of Trust (DOT) purportedly recorded among the land records
of Baltimore County MD in Liber 25061, folio 434, re-recorded in Liber 27296, folio 281 violates the Uniform Trust Code 406 and Md. Code, Real Property 5-105, and is void, not voidable, for fraud.

17.

After notice and opportunity to not do so, the willful filing of false

affidavits, recording and re-recording of said void Deed of Trust, and void fraudulent Trustees Deed are acts of filing false documents into a public office in violation of Md. Code, Crim. Law 8-606 (b)(1) and Md. Lawyer Rules of Professional Conduct (MLRPC)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

3.1, 3.3 and 3.4, that call for disbarment. See Atty. Griev. Comm'n v. Byrd, 408 Md. 449 (2009), followed by In re Byrd, 2011 Bankr. LEXIS 608 (Bankr. D. Md., Feb. 10, 2011).

18. Neither MTB or Dore et al. are in control and possession of any admissible
evidence of default of any purported loan, a condition precedent per Md. Rule 14-205(a), (b) to warrant filing said fraudulent foreclosure complaint in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County.

19. Public record, self authenticating admissible evidence per Md. Evid. Rule 5-902,
show that M&T had notice and opportunity on 4 different occasions to collect legal tender funds to settle the purported debt and to return the Plaintiffs personal property, the original genuine (free from fraud or forgery) wet ink signature promissory note and DOT.

20. 21.

Defendant M&T failed/refused to collect said funds per Md. Code, Com. Defendants, as bailors, entrusted MTB as bailee, to hold Todd

Law 3-603 and to return said personal property to Plaintiff. Wetzelbergers personal property, the original genuine (free from fraud or forgery) wet ink signature promissory note and DOT for Todd Wetzelbergers benefit as MTB had a duty of safekeeping.

22. With no express or implied authority from Todd Wetzelberger, MTB, through its
agent Jill M. Smith, V.P. M&T Bank, illegally converted Plaintiffs personal property from a promise to pay into a draft/ security subject to Md. Code, Com Law, Article 8. 23. Said illegal conversion is subject to rescission of the negotiation of Todd Wetzelbergers personal property, per Md. Code, Com. Law 3-306. 24. Conversion of ones personal property is a crime subject to criminal charges and civil liability.

25. MTB without express or implied authority sold and/or transferred Plaintiffs
personal property after said illegal conversion as evidenced by the 2007 10K Annual Report and 424(b)(5) S-17 Prospectus Supplement filed by M&T Bank with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that is public record, self authenticating, admissible evidence per Md. Evid. Rule 5-902, excerpted and links below.

One-to-four family residential mortgage loans and smaller balance commercial mortgage loans with many repayment characteristics similar to residential mortgage loans that are serviced for others totaled approximately $16.7 billion and $15.6 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, approximate ly $7 million of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans serviced for others had been sold with credit recourse. p.115,116 of 10K- The Company utilizes commitments to sell residential and commercial real estate loans to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of real estate loans held for sale. Such commitments have been designated as fair value hedges. The Company also utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to offset the exposure to changes in the fair value of certain commitments to originate real estate loans for sale. p.117 of 10K- Securitizations In December 2005, the Company securitized approximately $126 million, of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans in a guaranteed mortgage securitization with FNMA. The Company recognized no gain or loss on the transaction as it retained all of the resulting securities. Such securities were classified as investment securities available for sale. The Company expects no material credit-related losses on the retained securities as a result of the guarantees by FNMA. In prior years, the Company transferred approximately $1.9 billion one-to-four family residential mortgage loans to qualified special purpose trusts in non-recourse securitization transactions. In exchange for the loans, the Company received cash, no more than 88% of the resulting securities, and the servicing rights to the loans. All of the retained securities were classified as investment securities available for sale. The qualified special purpose trusts are not included in the Companys consolidated financial statements. Because the transactions were nonrecourse, the Companys maximum exposure to loss as a result of its association with the trusts is limited to realizing the carrying value of the retained securities and servicing rights. The combined outstanding principal amount of mortgage-backed securities issued by the qualified special purpose trusts was $732 million at December 31, 2006 and $877 million at December 31, 2005. The principal amount of such securities held by the Company was $627 million and $757 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, loans of the trusts that were 30 or more days delinquent totaled $14 million and $16 million, respectively. Credit losses, net of recoveries, for the trusts in 2006 and 2005 were insignificant. There were no significant repurchases of delinquent or foreclosed loans from the trusts by the Company in 2006 or 2005. p. 118, paragraph 19 of 10K- With the exception of marketable securities, certain off-balance sheet financial instruments and one-to-four family residential mortgage loans originated for sale, the Companys financial instruments are not readily marketable and market prices do not exist.

(1099OID-original issue discount, public debt instruments). p.120 of 10K Commitments to originate real estate loans for sale and commitments to sell real estate loans As described in note 17, the Company enters into various commitments to originate real estate loans for sale and commitments to sell real estate loans. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and, therefore, are carried at estimated fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The estimated fair values of such commitments were generally calculated by reference to quoted market prices for commitments to sell real estate loans to certain government-sponsored entities and other parties. p.121 of 10K- Residential real estate loans to be sold (in thousands) 679,591 (2006) 351,898 (2005) p.122 of 10K- The Company utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of real estate loans held for sale. Such commitments are considered derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and along with commitments to originate real estate loans to be held for sale are generally recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at estimated fair market value. However, in estimating that fair value for commitments to originate loans for sale, value ascribable to cash flows that will be realized in connection with loan servicing activities has not been included. Value ascribable to that portion of cash flows is recognized at the time the underlying mortgage loans are sold. Additional information about such derivative financial instruments is included in note 17. p. S-17 of 424(b)(5) Prospectus Supplement- Prior to 2007, M&T sold substantially all of the Alt-A residential real estate loans that it originated.

Public record business publications substantiate MTBs public record SEC

filings. http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/apr2007/pi20070405_121074.htm
Paragraph 2- Investors are worried about regional bank exposure to Alt-A mortgages, given M&T Bank's (MTB; ranked 3 STARS, hold) profit warning on Mar. 30. The bank indicated the market for the Alt-A loans that it packages and securitizes has cooled off, leading to lower prices and lower mark-to-market prices for the loans that aren't sold. M&T Bank says it's contractually liable to buy back nonperforming Alt-A mortgages. The bank also warned that deposit costs would be higher than expected, leading to further net interest margin compression.

27.

Due to its international activities and offshore branch(s) outside the

jurisdiction of the UNITED STATES, as evidenced by its 2007 10K Annual Report, MTB

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

must comply with the reporting requirements of both the Bank Secrecy Act and Title III of the Patriot Act.
p. 114 of 10K- paragraph 16. International Activities The Company engages in certain international activities consisting largely of collecting Eurodollar deposits, engaging in foreign currency trading, providing credit to support the international activities of domestic companies and holding certain loans to foreign borrowers. Net assets identified with international activities amounted to $185,175,000 and $230,021,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such assets included $175,528,000 and $216,798,000, respectively, of loans to foreign borrowers. Deposits at M&T Banks offshore branch office were $5,429,668,000 and $2,809,532,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company uses such deposits to facilitate customer demand and as an alternative to short-term borrowings when the costs of such deposits seem reasonable.

28. Dore et al, after notice and opportunity that Dore et al was participating in a fraud,
knowingly and willfully filed a fraudulent suit to foreclose on real property against the legal estate of TODD G. WETZELBERGER on January 13, 2010.

29. M&T Bank and Dore et al, after notice and opportunity, and prior to filing a
fraudulent foreclosure case against the legal estate of TODD G. WETZELBERGER, failed to substantiate, validate and authenticate the purported debt and failed to disclose material facts to Defendants as conditions precedent before filing said fraudulent suit.

30. The failure of MTB and Dore et al to disclose material facts violated the Md.
Lawyers Rules of Professional Conduct (MLRPC) Rule(s) 3.1., 3.3, and 3.4.

31. Michael Cantrell Esq, after notice and opportunity, and prior to filing a false
Motion for Writ of Possession and fraudulent affidavit purportedly sworn to by Thomas Fitzgibbons, failed to substantiate, validate and authenticate Cantrells claim and failed to disclose material facts to Plaintiff in violation of MLRPC Rule(s) 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4.

32.

The failure of MTB, Dore et al., and Cantrell to disclose material facts, and

material omissions by all of them unduly prejudiced Defendants.

33. In the instant case, Christoper M. Zeis, as purported VP of MTB swore in an affidavit under penalty of perjury that a copy (inadmissible evidence) of the original promissory note was true and correct despite being strangely absent an indorsement.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Page 10of 23

34. Approximately 18 months prior, the 08 note with indorsement was also sworn to under
penalty of perjury as a true and correct copy by both Laurie Abramo Asst VP, MTB and Thomas P. Dore, substituted trustee.

35. On August 11, 2010, in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, Maryland, Thomas P.
Dore admitted on the record under oath and penalty of perjury that he did not have any personal knowledge of any facts in the purported loan agreement, the subject of this foreclosure action.

36. Dore also admitted on the record, under oath in the same hearing on August 11, 2010, that
he was not present at the purported loan closing and is not a competent witness to attest to any purported facts in the instant case.

37. Defendants have discovered that on or about October 13, 2010 Judge Alan M. Wilner,
who chairs the Maryland Court of Appeals Special Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure, wrote in a memo to committee members that "preliminary audits have shown that hundreds of such bogus affidavits have been filed in Maryland circuit courts. The judges are alarmed at this development."

38. Judge Wilner also stated in a letter to the court In the Committees view, the use of bogus
affidavits to support actions to foreclose. constitutes an assault on the integrity of the judicial process itself. 39. MTB has a history of defrauding homeowners. MTB also has a history of defrauding the Federal Government. Were it not for a whistleblower, the public may have never known about these facts.

40. MTB was caught in a scheme to defraud the U.S. Government via the HUD 203K program. Case details are found in the U.S. District Court- Eastern District of N.Y. Pugach et al v. M&T Mortgage Case #CV-05-2498. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/m--t-bank-subject-of-whistle-blower-lawsuit-bank-accused-of-defrauding-government-out-of-millions-fromforged-mortgages-52712792.html The whistle blower suit stems from a case involving more than 50 mortgages owned by M&T on properties in Manhattan and Brooklyn that were fraudulently secured through HUD's 203K program for non-profits. A new admission by M & T's lawyer reveals there are nearly 400 fraudulent mortgages worth a half-billion dollars.

Page 11of 23

Indeed, on Friday night, June 29, 2007, Todd Marcus, the attorney for M & T, admitted in a letter to the court that his client never made him aware of a secretive deal between the bank and HUD, in which HUD agreed to pay off not just these 50 fraudulent mortgages, but an astonishing total of 374 fraudulent mortgages worth some $500 million! Marcus previously represented to the court that M & T had no knowledge of any fraud in the origination of any of these loans. The deal between M & T was reached six years ago, according to a letter dated January 11, 2001. Although his law partner attended the meeting at which the deal was reached, Marcus told the court on Friday that he was not aware of the agreement or even the letter's existence until April of this year!

41. The instant case is currently on interlocutory appeal with the Court of Special
Appeals of Maryland. B. FACTS TO BE ESTABLISHED AND REASONS FOR DISCOVERY

42. Petitioner seeks to establish the following facts:

1) MTB and/or its their agents, principals and assigns are not the real party in interest with standing to file a foreclosure case against Defendants. 2) Defendants personal property, the original, genuine, wet ink signature, unaltered note and deed of trust (DOT) have been bifurcated (split) rendering the security instrument void. 3) Defendants personal property, the original note and DOT have generated multiple times the face amount in profits to MTB and/or its/their agents, principals and assigns. 4) Said profits are due and owing to Defendants per Md. Code, Com. Law 3-305. 5) MTB and/or its/their agents principals or assigns are not the source of the first funds transfer to Defendants and do not meet the definition of creditor. 6) The verified chain of custody of Defendants personal property (original note and DOT) has been broken. 7) The purported original note offered by Thomas P. Dore into evidence at the 11 August 2010 hearing is NOT the authenticated, unaltered, original, genuine (free from fraud or forgery) wet ink signature note. It is a counterfeit color copy, as is often used to create the illusion of an original security.

Page 12of 23

8) Neither Dore et al. or any purported affiants, that filed inadmissible hearsay affidavits in the instant case, have any credibility. C. PERSONS TO BE EXAMINED AND THE SUBSTANCE OF THE TESTIMONY EXPECTED

43. The following is a partial list of known persons to be examined and the substance of testimony expected from each person. Defendants reserve the right to expand upon this list if further discovery is necessary.

44. Corporate officer of MTB (preferably CFO) with a fiduciary duty to answer for the
company- identification of source of funds for the purported loan; identification of any person(s) who took possession of Defendants original note and DOT; produce admissible evidence that a trust was formed for the benefit of MERS as nominee for MTB with Thomas P. Dore as purported trustee.

45.
