Sylvia Loredo (Charge 1 of 4) –– Aggravated Perjury

p. 1 of 5

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: In order to stop a planned non-judicial foreclosure action against my home by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., I brought suit against Countrywide and the substitute trustee for the foreclosure action, Samuel Daffin, II, in the 405th District Court of Galveston County in May of 2002. Wayne J. Mallia was the regularly sitting judge in the 405th District Court. While this suit was ongoing and in connection with a foreclosure sale of the property, Sylvia Loredo signed an Affidavit of Mortgagee and had it notarized on October 1, 2002 in Dallas County, Texas. Ms. Loredo caused the Affidavit of Mortgagee to be filed and recorded into the Official Public Records of Real Property of Galveston County on October 7, 2002. A copy of this Affidavit of Mortgagee was attached to and used as evidence for Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, and this motion was filed with the District Clerk of Galveston County, file stamp 04 JAN –8. This Affidavit of Mortgagee indicated that Ms. Loredo was an employee of BARRETT BURKE WILSON CASTLE DAFFIN & FRAPPIER, L.L.P., attorney for COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., that the affidavit was made with respect to the foreclosure of that certain Deed of Trust dated December 16, 1997, recorded CLERK’S FILE NO. 9748599, Real Property Records, GALVESTON County, TEXAS … to secure payment of a Note to COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., that COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC. was the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust, and “At the instructions and on behalf of the holder of the debt or its agent” certain acts were performed as required by law. Ms. Loredo knew that she did not know certain material facts stated in the affidavit were true. The primary material fact falsely stated and without any reservation or qualification was that Countrywide was the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust. During the discovery process of the lawsuit, I was provided copies of documents that showed that, years prior to the foreclosure sale, Countrywide had given up ownership and possession of the note upon which it supposedly based its right to

foreclose to recover amounts still owed to it. At the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P., I was provided with a copy of the note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. A copy of the endorsed note and letter are attached to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. During the course of the Lawsuit, Countrywide never provided any documentation or even an assertion to show that it was acting as an agent for any other entity. Ms. Loredo could not possibly have received any documentation sufficient to show the truthfulness of statements that she made in the Affidavit of Mortgagee. False statements of material facts knowingly made by Ms. Loredo in the Affidavit of Mortgagee were made in connection with the official proceeding of the foreclosure sale and constitute a violation of Section 37.03 Texas Penal Code: §37.02 Perjury (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to deceive and with knowledge of the statement's meaning: (1) he makes a false statement under oath or swears to the truth of a false statement previously made and the statement is required or authorized by law to be made under oath; or (2) he makes a false unsworn declaration under Chapter 132, Civil Practice and Remedies Code. (b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor. §37.03 Aggravated Perjury (a) A person commits an offense if he commits perjury as defined in Section 37.02, and the false statement: (1) is made during or in connection with an official proceeding; and (2) is material. (b) An offense under this section is a felony of the third degree.

Ms. Loredo stated in the affidavit that the affidavit was being made with respect to the foreclosure that was taking place, showing that she knew that an official

proceeding was pending or taking place. She made the Affidavit of Mortgagee with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the foreclosure process in violation of Section 37.09 Texas Penal Code: §37.09 Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence (a) A person commits an offense if, knowing that an investigation or official proceeding is pending or in progress, he: (1) alters, destroys, or conceals any record, document, or thing with intent to impair its verity, legibility, or availability as evidence in the investigation or official proceeding; or (2) makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the investigation or official proceeding. (b) This section shall not apply if the record, document, or thing concealed is privileged or is the work product of the parties to the investigation or official proceeding. (c) An offense under Subsection (a) or Subsection (d)(1) is a felony of the third degree. An offense under Subsection (d)(2) is a Class A misdemeanor. (d) …[Not applicable to this complaint]

Ms. Loredo made the Affidavit of Mortgagee, with knowledge of its falsity, and caused it to be filed and recorded into the governmental records held by the County Clerk of Galveston County in violation of Section 37.10 Texas Penal Code: §37.10. Tampering With Governmental Record. (a) A person commits an offense if he: (1) knowingly makes a false entry in, or false alteration of, a governmental record; (2) makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent that it be taken as a genuine governmental record; (3) intentionally destroys, conceals, removes, or otherwise impairs the verity, legibility, or availability of a governmental record;

(4) possesses, sells, or offers to sell a governmental record or a blank governmental record form with intent that it be used unlawfully; (5) makes, presents, or uses a governmental record with knowledge of its falsity; …

Ms. Loredo carried out her acts of aggravated perjury, fabrication of evidence, and tampering with governmental records in agreement with and with aid of others in violation of Section 15.02 Texas Penal Code: §15.02. Criminal Conspiracy. (a) A person commits criminal conspiracy if, with intent that a felony be committed: (1) he agrees with one or more persons that they or one or more of them engage in conduct that would constitute the offense; and (2) he or one or more of them performs an overt act in pursuance of the agreement. (b) An agreement constituting a conspiracy may be inferred from acts of the parties ...

Ms. Loredo’s choice to join with others in the furtherance of the conspiracy makes her culpable for her own acts and those of her co-conspirators, §7.01 Texas Penal Code, Parties to offenses: (a)

A person is criminally responsible as a party to an offense if the offense is committed by his own conduct, by the conduct of another for which he is criminally responsible, or by both.

(b)

Each party to an offense may be charged with commission of the offense.

(c)

All traditional distinctions between accomplices and principals are abolished by this section, and each party to an offense maybe charged and convicted without alleging that he acted as a principal or accomplice.

Samuel Daffin, II (Charge 1 of 4) –– Misapplication of Fiduciary Property

p. 1 of 6

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: In order to stop a planned non-judicial foreclosure action against my home by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., I brought suit against Countrywide and the substitute trustee for the foreclosure action, Samuel Daffin, II, in the 405th District Court of Galveston County in May of 2002. Wayne J. Mallia was the regularly sitting judge in the 405th District Court. While this suit was ongoing, Samuel Daffin, II, conducted a supposed foreclosure sale of the property in the lobby of the Galveston County Courthouse on October 1, 2002. He signed a Substitute Trustee’s Deed and had it notarized on October 1, 2002 in Harris County, Texas. Mr. Daffin caused the Substitute Trustee’s Deed to be filed and recorded into the Official Public Records of Real Property of Galveston County on October 7, 2002. A copy of this Substitute Trustee’s Deed was attached to and used as evidence for Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, and this motion was filed with the District Clerk of Galveston County, file stamp 04 JAN –8. This substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the property had been sold on October 1, 2002 to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation for an amount of $60,300.00, that the Grantors were Danny R. Murphy and Sandra G. Cruz, and that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. The body of the substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the Beneficiary had declared that Grantor defaulted performing the obligations of the Deed of Trust, that all duties and obligations of the Beneficiary were lawfully performed, and that the Substitute Trustee acted under the authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and the Deed of Trust. Mr. Daffin knew that material facts stated in the Substitute Trustee’s Deed were false. The primary material fact falsely stated was that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., and second that the Substitute Trustee acted under the authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and the Deed of Trust. During the discovery process of the lawsuit, I was provided copies of documents that showed that, years prior to the foreclosure sale, Countrywide had given up ownership and possession of the note upon which it supposedly based its right to foreclose to recover amounts still owed to it. Mr. Daffin’s attorneys, LEYH &

PAYNE, L.L.P., provided me with a copy of the note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. A copy of this endorsed note and letter can be found as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. Mr. Daffin was an attorney and, as such, is presumed to have been knowledgeable in the law, and he regularly acted in the capacity of a substitute trustee in foreclosure actions. Since Countrywide had given up the note years prior to Mr. Daffin conducting the foreclosure sale and making the Substitute Trustee’s Deed, Mr. Daffin could not possibly have found documentation sufficient to support his statement that Countrywide was the Current Beneficiary or that he had conducted the foreclosure sale “by authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and by the Deed of Trust.” Mr. Daffin had a fiduciary responsibility as a trustee to insure that the property entrusted to him was dealt with in the manner prescribed by the Deed of Trust. The acts of Mr. Daffin were done in a manner contrary to the agreed Deed of Trust, and he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly misapplied the property that he held as a fiduciary in a manner that involved substantial risk of loss to the owner of the property, in violation of Texas Penal Code §32.45: §32.45 Misapplication of Fiduciary Property or Property of Financial Institution (a) For purposes of this section: (1) "Fiduciary" includes: (A) trustee, guardian, administrator, executor, conservator, and receiver; ... (2) "Misapply" means deal with property contrary to: (A) an agreement under which the fiduciary holds the property; or (B) a law prescribing the custody or disposition of the property. (b) A person commits an offense if he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly misapplies property he holds as a fiduciary or property of a financial institution in a manner that involves substantial risk of loss to the owner of the property or to a person for whose benefit the property is held. (c) An offense under this section is:

p. 3 of 6

(1) Class C misdemeanor if the value of the property misapplied is less than $20; ... (5) felony of the third degree if the value of the property misapplied is $20,000 or more but less than $100,000; ... Mr. Daffin was a defendant in the lawsuit and knew that the lawsuit was an official proceeding in progress, and he made the Substitute Trustee’s Deed with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the lawsuit in violation of Texas Penal Code §37.09: §37.09 Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence (a) A person commits an offense if, knowing that an investigation or official proceeding is pending or in progress, he: (1) alters, destroys, or conceals any record, document, or thing with intent to impair its verity, legibility, or availability as evidence in the investigation or official proceeding; or (2) makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the investigation or official proceeding. (b) This section shall not apply if the record, document, or thing concealed is privileged or is the work product of the parties to the investigation or official proceeding. (c) An offense under Subsection (a) or Subsection (d)(1) is a felony of the third degree. An offense under Subsection (d)(2) is a Class A misdemeanor. (d) …[Not applicable to this complaint]

Mr. Daffin made the Substitute Trustee’s Deed, with knowledge of its falsity, and caused it to be filed and recorded into the governmental records held by the County Clerk of Galveston County in violation of Section 37.10 Texas Penal Code: §37.10. Tampering With Governmental Record. (a) A person commits an offense if he:

Mr. Daffin carried out his acts of misapplication of fiduciary property, fabrication of evidence, and tampering with governmental records in agreement with and with aid of others in violation of Texas Penal Code §15.02: §15.02.

Griffin Pivateau Burke (Charge 1 of 3) –– Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence

p. 1 of 4

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: In order to stop a planned non-judicial foreclosure action against my home by Countyrwide Home Loans, Inc., I brought suit against Countrywide and the substitute trustee for the foreclosure action, Samuel Daffin, II, in the 405th District Court of Galveston County in May of 2002. Wayne J. Mallia was the regularly sitting judge in the 405th District Court. A hearing was set in the 405th District Court to be heard on March 20, 2003 on Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment, file stamped 03 JAN 30, which was prepared by Defendants’ attorney’s law firm, LAYH & PAYNE, L.L.P., and personally signed by attorney Griffin Pivateau Burke, Texas Bar No. 16055950. Attached to this motion was an affidavit by Diane DeLoney, in which she states that she was the “custodian of Countrywide’s records” and in which she states, without reservation or qualification, on the second page of the affidavit that “Countrywide is the Owner and Holder of the Note and Deed of Trust.” More than two months prior to Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment being filed with the court, I filed with the court and provided a copy to Mr. Burke of Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. Attached to this petition was a copy of the Note referred to in the DeLoney affidavit displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another entity, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. The endorsed note and letter show that material statements made in the DeLoney affidavit were false. The copy of the note attached to the DeLoney affidavit does not show this endorsement, but the copy attached to petition filed on November 19, 2002 does. Further I obtained copies of the endorsed note and this letter from the law firm of LAYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. I was personally handed the file containing these documents by Mr. Burke at the offices of LAYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. These documents were being provided to me as part of the discovery process of the

lawsuit. Mr. Burke was provided actual knowledge of the falsity of the DeLoney affidavit. Copies of the endorsed note and the letter were readily available to him in files kept at the offices of LAYH & PAYNE, L.L.P.; he was provided another copy of the endorsed note and letter as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition; discrepancies with the copy of the note previously provided to the court by Mr. Burke were pointed out in paragraph 8 of this petition; and the significance of the endorsed note and letter were pointed out in paragraph 27 of this petition. In spite of this, Mr. Burke still brought the DeLoney affidavit to court again to use as evidence in asserting claims in the lawsuit. Mr. Burke knew that the lawsuit was an official proceeding in progress, and he presented the DeLoney affidavit with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the lawsuit in violation of Texas Penal Code §37.09: §37.09 Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence (a) A person commits an offense if, knowing that an investigation or official proceeding is pending or in progress, he: (1) alters, destroys, or conceals any record, document, or thing with intent to impair its verity, legibility, or availability as evidence in the investigation or official proceeding; or (2) makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the investigation or official proceeding. (b) This section shall not apply if the record, document, or thing concealed is privileged or is the work product of the parties to the investigation or official proceeding. (c) An offense under Subsection (a) or Subsection (d)(1) is a felony of the third degree. An offense under Subsection (d)(2) is a Class A misdemeanor. (d) …[Not applicable to this complaint]

Having knowledge that his client lacked the original note, Mr. Burke knew that his client did not have a valid claim to collect on the note and foreclose on the security named in the deed of trust. Mr. Burke still filed a claim into court against the property and me knowing that the claim of his client was baseless, frivolous, and without authority and that he was therefore acting without authority when he filed Defendant’s First Amended Original Counterclaim, file stamped 02 DEC –9, in violation of Texas Penal Code §38.12:

§38.12 Barratry and Solicitation of Professional Employment (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to obtain an economic benefit the person: (1) knowingly institutes a suit or claim that the person has not been authorized to pursue; ... (f) An offense under Subsection (a) or (b) is a felony of the third degree. … [Remainder of §38.12 not relevant to this complaint]

Mr. Burke carried out his acts of fabrication of evidence and barratry in agreement with and with aid of others in violation of Texas Penal Code §15.02: §15.02. Criminal Conspiracy. (a) A person commits criminal conspiracy if, with intent that a felony be committed: (1) he agrees with one or more persons that they or one or more of them engage in conduct that would constitute the offense; and (2) he or one or more of them performs an overt act in pursuance of the agreement. (b) An agreement constituting a conspiracy may be inferred from acts of the parties

Mr. Burke’s choice to join with others in the furtherance of the conspiracy makes him culpable for his own acts and those of his co-conspirators, §7.01 Texas Penal Code, Parties to offenses: (a)

A person is criminally responsible as a party to an offense if the offense is committed by his own conduct, by the conduct of another for which he is criminally responsible, or by both.

Steven A. Leyh (Charge 1 of 4) –– Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence

p. 1 of 6

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: In order to stop a planned non-judicial foreclosure action against my home by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., I brought suit against Countrywide and the substitute trustee for the foreclosure action, Samuel Daffin, II, in the 405th District Court of Galveston County in May of 2002. Wayne J. Mallia was the regularly sitting judge in the 405th District Court. Steven A. Leyh, Texas Bar No. 12318300, of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P., attorneys for defendants, signed Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, and this motion was filed with the District Clerk of Galveston County, file stamp 04 JAN –8. Attached to this motion and referred to as summary judgment evidence on page 3 of the motion was a copy of a Substitute Trustee’s Deed. This substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the property had been sold on October 1, 2002 to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, that the Grantors were Danny R. Murphy and Sandra G. Cruz, and that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. The body of the substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the Beneficiary had declared that Grantor defaulted performing the obligations of the Deed of Trust, that all duties and obligations of the Beneficiary were lawfully performed, and that the Substitute Trustee acted under the authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and the Deed of Trust. Also attached to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession was an Affidavit of Mortgagee. This affidavit stated that Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. was “the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust”. This affidavit also stated that “at the instructions and on behalf of the holder of the debt or its agent” certain necessary actions had been taken. Mr. Leyh knew that material facts stated in the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee were false. The material facts falsely stated in these documents were that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. and that Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. was “the holder of the debt or agent for

p. 2 of 6

the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust”. Documents made available to Mr. Leyh and filed into court more than a year prior to his filing of Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession provided him the knowledge that Countrywide had endorsed the note and transferred possession of it to another, and, thereby, it gave up all rights that it had in the note and the deed of trust. I filed with the court and provided a copy to another attorney in Mr. Leyh’s law firm of Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. Attached to this petition was a copy of the Note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. Copies of the Note previously submitted to court by Countrywide did not display this endorsement. Additionally, I provided a copy of the endorsed note and the letter to Mr. Leyh as attachments to my Plaintiff’s Answer to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, file stamped 04 JAN 23. Also, Mr. Leyh was present when a copy of the endorsed note and the letter was entered into evidence in open court on or about December 22, 2003. The issue of Countrywide’s lack of ownership of the note upon which it was taking action to collect was brought up to Mr. Leyh several times during the year 2003. I obtained copies of the endorsed note and this letter from the law firm of LAYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. I was handed the file containing these documents at the offices of LAYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. These documents were provided to me as part of the discovery process of the lawsuit. Mr. Leyh was provided actual knowledge of the falsity of the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee. Copies of the endorsed note and the letter were readily available to him in files kept at the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P.; he had available to him another copy of the endorsed note and letter as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition; discrepancies with the copy of the note previously provided to the court by Mr. Leyh’s law firm were pointed out in paragraph 8 of this petition; and the significance of the endorsed note and letter were pointed out in paragraph 27 of this petition. In spite of this, Mr. Leyh still brought the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee to court to use as evidence in asserting claims in the lawsuit. Mr. Leyh knew that the lawsuit was an official proceeding in progress, and he presented the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee with knowledge of the falsity each and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the lawsuit in violation of Texas Penal Code §37.09: §37.09 Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: In order to stop a planned non-judicial foreclosure action against my home by Countyrwide Home Loans, Inc., I brought suit against Countrywide and the substitute trustee for the foreclosure action, Samuel Daffin, II, in the 405th District Court of Galveston County in May of 2002. Wayne J. Mallia was the regularly sitting judge in the 405th District Court. A hearing was set in the 405th District Court to be heard on March 20, 2003 on Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment, file stamped 03 JAN 30. Attached to this motion was an affidavit by Diane DeLoney, in which she states that she was the “custodian of Countrywide’s records” and in which she states, without reservation or qualification, on the second page of the affidavit that “Countrywide is the Owner and Holder of the Note and Deed of Trust.” She states that true and correct copies of the note and deed of trust are attached to the affidavit. The first paragraph of the affidavit indicates that DeLoney knew that the affidavit was going to be used with a motion for summary judgment for the defendants. The affidavit indicates that it was signed on August 29, 2002 and made in Collin County, Texas. As part of the discovery process of the lawsuit, I was given access to a file of documents supplied by defendant Countrywide and being held by defendants’ attorneys at the offices of LAYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. From that file, I obtained a copy of the Note referred to in the DeLoney affidavit displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. The copy of the Note attached to the DeLoney affidavit and identified by her as being a true and correct copy did not display this endorsement. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another entity, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust; it ceased being “the Owner and Holder of the Note and Deed of Trust.” The copy of the endorsed note and letter show that material statements made in the DeLoney affidavit were false.

Statements made by DeLoney in the affidavit constitute a violation of Texas Penal Code §37.03: §37.02 Perjury (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to deceive and with knowledge of the statement's meaning: (1) he makes a false statement under oath or swears to the truth of a false statement previously made and the statement is required or authorized by law to be made under oath; or (2) he makes a false unsworn declaration under Chapter 132, Civil Practice and Remedies Code. (b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor. §37.03 Aggravated Perjury (a) A person commits an offense if he commits perjury as defined in Section 37.02, and the false statement: (1) is made during or in connection with an official proceeding; and (2) is material.

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: In 1997 I applied for a loan with Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. to buy my home. A note, deed of trust and other papers were signed at the closing on December 16, 1997. The first monthly payment was scheduled for February of 1998. I made the first payment, and I continued to be billed for and make monthly payments for several years. Some time during the year 2000, I began to learn of certain practices of banks and other commercial lenders that indicate that there are significant aspects of the loan agreement and transaction that is not revealed to borrowers. Some of my research referred me to publications of Federal Reserve Banks such as “Modern Money Mechanics” of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and “I Bet You Thought …” of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. I obtained copies of two expert witness affidavits that had been filed into a court case in Michigan from the clerk of that court. One affidavit was by a CPA and another was from a former attorney for Federal Reserve Banks. Both affidavits indicate that the ”lender“ in that case did not lend any of its own money, credit, or assets. I paid a monthly payment to Countrywide in December of 2001, and in January of 2002, I began to make inquiries to Countrywide concerning the loan that I had been paying and the location of the note. Informative answers were not forthcoming, so I ceased making further payments until I had located the note and verified that Countrywide was the holder of the note and the proper party to be paid. I continued to make requests to Countrywide, and it continued to provide uninformative and evasive answers. Countrywide began to send me notices in preparation for foreclosure proceedings. Eventually a foreclosure sale was set for the first Tuesday of June of 2002. To stop the foreclosure sale, I brought suit in the 405th District Court of Galveston County against Countrywide and Samuel Daffin, II, the substitute trustee for the foreclosure action. During the course of the lawsuit, I obtained a copy of the note and a letter that showed that Countrywide had signed away its rights in the note and given possession and ownership of the note to another entity two days after the note was signed.

In the early stages of the lawsuit, attorney for Countrywide brought in an affidavit from the Keeper of Records for Countrywide to show that Countrywide was the owner of the note. This affidavit had a copy of the note attached to it, and the affidavit identified the copy as a true and correct copy of the note. During the discovery process of the lawsuit, attorney for Countrywide provided me with copies of documents that I had requested from Countrywide. Among those was a copy of the note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. Copy of the note originally brought to court by Countrywide may be found as an attachment to Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment, file stamped 03 JAN 30. A copy of the endorsed note and letter may be found as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. Copy of the expert witness affidavits referenced above may be found as attachments to Plaintiff’s Motion for New Trial, file stamped 2004 MAR –2, and a copy of the Federal Reserve publications may be found as part of Plaintiff’s Exhibits for this case held by the District Clerk. Countrywide’s own records showed that it had given up ownership and possession of the note two days after the note was made. Countrywide still sent bills to me through the United States Postal Service for payments on this note every month. Countrywide did not let me know that it had disposed of the note and no longer had possession, ownership or interest in the note. Sending bills to me was a misrepresentation of a debt owed to it. Because of this deception, I paid the monthly billing 47 times by execution of a check, money order, authorization for credit card payment, or by some other means of payment for total payment of more than $30,000 and less than $40,000. I would not have made these payments except for this deception. Countrywide’s actions in this matter constituted a criminal episode in violation of Texas Penal Code §32.46: §32.46 Securing Execution of Document by Deception (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to defraud or harm any person, he, by deception: (1) causes another to sign or execute any document affecting property or service or the pecuniary interest of any person; or … (b) An offense under Subsection (a)(1) is a: …

(5) felony of the third degree if the value of the property, service, or pecuniary interest is $20,000 or more but less than $100,000;

During the course of the lawsuit various individuals and law firms took actions on behalf of Countrywide. These actions indicate that these individuals and law firms had duties of such a level of responsibility that these individuals and law firms were high managerial agents of Countrywide, §7.21 Definitions In this subchapter: (1)

"Agent" means a director, officer, employee, or other person authorized to act in behalf of a corporation or association.

(2)

"High managerial agent" means: (A) a partner in a partnership; (B) an officer of a corporation or association; (C) an agent of a corporation or association who has duties of such responsibility that his conduct reasonably may be assumed to represent the policy of the corporation or association.

Countrywide is responsible for the offenses committed by it agents on its behalf, §7.22 Criminal Responsibility of Corporation or Association (a) If conduct constituting an offense is performed by an agent acting in behalf of a corporation or association and within the scope of his office or employment, the corporation or association is criminally responsible for an offense defined: (1) in this code where corporations and associations are made subject thereto;

Leyh, Texas Bar No. 12318300. A hearing was set in the 405th District Court to be heard on March 20, 2003 on Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment, file stamped 03 JAN 30, which was prepared by Defendants’ attorney’s law firm, LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P., and personally signed by attorney Griffin Pivateau Burke. Attached to this motion was an affidavit by Diane DeLoney, in which she states that she was the “custodian of Countrywide’s records” and in which she states, without reservation or qualification, on the second page of the affidavit that “Countrywide is the Owner and Holder of the Note and Deed of Trust.” More than two months prior to Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment being filed with the court, I filed with the court and provided a copy to Mr. Burke of Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. Attached to this petition was a copy of the Note referred to in the DeLoney affidavit displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another entity, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. The endorsed note and letter show that material statements made in the DeLoney affidavit were false. The copy of the note attached to the DeLoney affidavit does not show this endorsement, but the copy attached to petition filed on November 19, 2002 does. Further I obtained copies of the endorsed note and this letter from the law firm of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. I was personally handed the file containing these documents by Mr. Burke at the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. These documents were being provided to me as part of the discovery process of the lawsuit. Mr. Burke was provided actual knowledge of the falsity of the DeLoney affidavit. Copies of the endorsed note and the letter were readily available to him in files kept at the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P.; he was provided another copy of the endorsed note and letter as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition; discrepancies with the copy of the note previously provided to the court by Mr. Burke were pointed out in paragraph 8 of this petition; and the significance of the endorsed note and letter were pointed out in paragraph 27 of this petition. In spite of this, Mr. Burke still brought the DeLoney affidavit to court again to use as evidence in asserting claims in the lawsuit. Mr. Burke knew that the lawsuit was an official proceeding in progress, and he presented the DeLoney affidavit with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the lawsuit in violation of Texas Penal Code §37.09, described previously in this complaint as Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence. Having knowledge that his client lacked the original note, Mr. Burke knew that his

client did not have a valid claim to collect on the note and foreclose on the security named in the deed of trust. Mr. Burke still filed a claim into court against the property and me knowing that the claim of his client was baseless, frivolous, and without authority and that he was therefore acting without authority when he filed Defendant’s First Amended Original Counterclaim, file stamped 02 DEC –9, in violation of Texas Penal Code §38.12: §38.12 Barratry and Solicitation of Professional Employment (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to obtain an economic benefit the person: (1) knowingly institutes a suit or claim that the person has not been authorized to pursue; ...

Steven A. Leyh signed Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, and this motion was filed with the District Clerk of Galveston County, file stamp 04 JAN –8. Attached to this motion and referred to as summary judgment evidence on page 3 of the motion was a copy of a Substitute Trustee’s Deed. This substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the property had been sold on October 1, 2002 to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, that the Grantors were Danny R. Murphy and Sandra G. Cruz, and that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. The body of the substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the Beneficiary had declared that Grantor defaulted performing the obligations of the Deed of Trust, that all duties and obligations of the Beneficiary were lawfully performed, and that the Substitute Trustee acted under the authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and the Deed of Trust. Also attached to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession was an Affidavit of Mortgagee. This affidavit stated that Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. was “the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust”. This affidavit also stated that “at the

p. 9 of 15

instructions and on behalf of the holder of the debt or its agent” certain necessary actions had been taken. Mr. Leyh knew that material facts stated in the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee were false. The material facts falsely stated in these documents were that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. and that Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. was “the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust”. Documents made available to Mr. Leyh and filed into court more than a year prior to his filing of Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession provided him the knowledge that Countrywide had endorsed the note and transferred possession of it to another, and, thereby, it gave up all rights that it had in the note and the deed of trust. More than year prior to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession being filed with the court, I filed with the court and provided a copy to another attorney in Mr. Leyh’s law firm of Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. Attached to this petition was a copy of the Note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. Copies of the Note previously submitted to court by Countrywide did not display this endorsement. Additionally, I provided a copy of the endorsed note and the letter to Mr. Leyh as attachments to my Plaintiff’s Answer to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, file stamped 04 JAN 23. Also, Mr. Leyh was present when a copy of the endorsed note and the letter was entered into evidence in open court on or about December 22, 2003. The issue of Countrywide’s lack of ownership of the note upon which it was taking action to collect was brought up to Mr. Leyh several times during the year 2003. I obtained copies of the endorsed note and this letter from the law firm of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. I was handed the file containing these documents at the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. These documents were being provided to me as part of the discovery process of the lawsuit. Mr. Leyh was provided actual knowledge of the falsity of the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee. Copies of the endorsed note and the letter were readily available to him in files kept at the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P.; he had available to him another copy of the endorsed note and letter as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition; discrepancies with the copy of the note previously provided to the court by Mr. Leyh’s law firm were pointed out in paragraph 8 of this petition; and the significance of the endorsed note and letter were pointed out in paragraph 27 of this petition. In spite of this, Mr. Leyh still

____________________________________________ Mr. Daffin was part of the law firm BARRETT BURKE WILSON CASTLE DAFFIN & FRAPPIER, L.L.P., which was attorney for COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC. for the foreclosure action that Countrywide was taking against my property. Documents filed into the court case indicate that Mr. Daffin was acting as agent for the law firm in the foreclosure action. Samuel Daffin, II, conducted a foreclosure sale of the property in the lobby of the Galveston County Courthouse on October 1, 2002. He signed a Substitute Trustee’s Deed and had it notarized on October 1, 2002 in Harris County, Texas. Mr. Daffin caused the Substitute Trustee’s Deed to be filed and recorded into the Official Public Records of Real Property of Galveston County on October 7, 2002. A copy of this Substitute Trustee’s Deed was attached to and used as evidence for Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, and this motion was filed with the District Clerk of Galveston County, file stamp 04 JAN –8. This substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the property had been sold on October 1, 2002 to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation for an amount of $60,300.00, that the Grantors were Danny R. Murphy and Sandra G. Cruz, and that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. The body of the substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the Beneficiary had declared that Grantor defaulted performing the obligations of the Deed of Trust, that all duties and obligations of the Beneficiary were lawfully performed, and that the Substitute Trustee acted under the authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and the Deed of Trust. Mr. Daffin knew that material facts stated in the Substitute Trustee’s Deed were false. The primary material fact falsely stated was that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., and second that the Substitute Trustee acted under the authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and the Deed of Trust. During the discovery process of the lawsuit, I was provided copies of documents that showed that, years prior to the foreclosure sale, Countrywide had given up ownership and possession of the note upon which it supposedly based its right to foreclose to recover amounts still owed to it. Mr. Daffin’s attorneys, LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P., provided me with a copy of the note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. A copy of this endorsed note and letter can be found as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition. In endorsing the note and

delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. Mr. Daffin was an attorney and, as such, is presumed to have been knowledgeable in the law, and he regularly acted in the capacity of a substitute trustee in foreclosure actions. Since Countrywide had given up the note years prior to Mr. Daffin conducting the foreclosure sale and making the Substitute Trustee’s Deed, Mr. Daffin could not possibly have found documentation sufficient to support his statement that Countrywide was the Current Beneficiary or that he had conducted the foreclosure sale “by authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and by the Deed of Trust.” Mr. Daffin had a fiduciary responsibility as a trustee to insure that the property entrusted to him was dealt with in the manner prescribed by the Deed of Trust. The acts of Mr. Daffin were done in a manner contrary to the agreed Deed of Trust, and he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly misapplied the property that he held as a fiduciary in a manner that involved substantial risk of loss to the owner of the property, in violation of Texas Penal Code §32.45: §32.45 Misapplication of Fiduciary Property or Property of Financial Institution (a) For purposes of this section: (1) "Fiduciary" includes: (A) trustee, guardian, administrator, executor, conservator, and receiver; ... (2) "Misapply" means deal with property contrary to: (A) an agreement under which the fiduciary holds the property; or (B) a law prescribing the custody or disposition of the property. (b) A person commits an offense if he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly misapplies property he holds as a fiduciary or property of a financial institution in a manner that involves substantial risk of loss to the owner of the property or to a person for whose benefit the property is held. (c) An offense under this section is: (1) Class C misdemeanor if the value of the property misapplied is less than $20; ... (5) felony of the third degree if the value of the property misapplied is

COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC (Charge 1 of 19) –– Securing Execution of Document by Deception

p. 13 of 15

$20,000 or more but less than $100,000; ... Mr. Daffin was a defendant in the lawsuit and knew that the lawsuit was an official proceeding in progress, and he made the Substitute Trustee’s Deed with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the lawsuit in violation of Texas Penal Code §37.09, described previously in this complaint as Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence.

Mr. Daffin made the Substitute Trustee’s Deed, with knowledge of its falsity, and caused it to be filed and recorded into the governmental records held by the County Clerk of Galveston County in violation of Section 37.10 Texas Penal Code, described previously in this complaint as Tampering With Governmental Record.

Mr. Daffin carried out his acts of misapplication of fiduciary property, fabrication of evidence, and tampering with governmental records in agreement with and with aid of others in violation of Texas Penal Code §15.02, described previously in this complaint as Criminal Conspiracy. Also employed by the law firm of the law firm BARRETT BURKE WILSON CASTLE DAFFIN & FRAPPIER, L.L.P., and acting as an agent for the law firm during the course of foreclosure action was Sylvia Loredo. While the lawsuit was ongoing and in connection with a foreclosure sale of the property, Sylvia Loredo signed an Affidavit of Mortgagee and had it notarized on October 1, 2002 in Dallas County, Texas. Ms. Loredo caused the Affidavit of Mortgagee to be filed and recorded into the Official Public Records of Real Property of Galveston County on October 7, 2002. A copy of this Affidavit of Mortgagee was attached to and used as evidence for Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, and this motion was filed with the District Clerk of Galveston County, file stamp 04 JAN –8. This Affidavit of Mortgagee indicated that Ms. Loredo was an employee of BARRETT BURKE WILSON CASTLE DAFFIN & FRAPPIER, L.L.P., attorney for COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., that the affidavit was made with respect to the foreclosure of that certain Deed of Trust dated December 16, 1997, recorded CLERK’S FILE NO. 9748599, Real Property Records, GALVESTON County, TEXAS … to secure payment of a Note to COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., that COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC. was the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust, and “At the instructions and on behalf of the holder of the debt or its agent” certain acts were performed as required by law.

COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC (Charge 1 of 19) –– Securing Execution of Document by Deception

p. 14 of 15

Ms. Loredo knew that she did not know certain material facts stated in the affidavit were true. The primary material fact falsely stated and without any reservation or qualification was that Countrywide was the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust. During the discovery process of the lawsuit, I was provided copies of documents that showed that, years prior to the foreclosure sale, Countrywide had given up ownership and possession of the note upon which it supposedly based its right to foreclose to recover amounts still owed to it. At the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P., I was provided with a copy of the note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. A copy of the endorsed note and letter are attached to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. During the course of the Lawsuit, Countrywide never provided any documentation or even an assertion to show that it was acting as an agent for any other entity. Ms. Loredo could not possibly have received any documentation sufficient to show the truthfulness of statements that she made in the Affidavit of Mortgagee. False statements of material facts knowingly made by Ms. Loredo in the Affidavit of Mortgagee were made in connection with the official proceeding of the foreclosure sale and constitute a violation of Section 37.03 Texas Penal Code, previously described in this complaint as Aggravated Perjury. Ms. Loredo stated in the affidavit that the affidavit was being made with respect to the foreclosure that was taking place, showing that she knew that an official proceeding was pending or taking place. She made the Affidavit of Mortgagee with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the foreclosure process in violation of Section 37.09 Texas Penal Code, previously described in this complaint as Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence. Ms. Loredo made the Affidavit of Mortgagee, with knowledge of its falsity, and caused it to be filed and recorded into the governmental records held by the County Clerk of Galveston County in violation of Section 37.10 Texas Penal Code, previously described in this complaint as Tampering With Governmental Record. Ms. Loredo carried out her acts of aggravated perjury, fabrication of evidence, and tampering with governmental records in agreement with and with aid of others in violation of Section 15.02 Texas Penal Code, previously described in this complaint as Criminal Conspiracy.

LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. (Charge 1 of 7) ––Fabricating Physical Evidence #1

p. 1 of 8

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: In order to stop a planned non-judicial foreclosure action against my home by Countyrwide Home Loans, Inc., I brought suit against Countrywide and the substitute trustee for the foreclosure action, Samuel Daffin, II, in the 405th District Court of Galveston County in May of 2002. Wayne J. Mallia was the regularly sitting judge in the 405th District Court. Court documents indicate that defendants hired the law firm LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. as attorneys for defendants for this lawsuit. Individual attorneys from this law firm who signed documents filed into court and who appeared in court for the defendants were Griffin Pivateau Burke, Texas Bar No. 16055950, and Steven A. Leyh, Texas Bar No. 12318300. A hearing was set in the 405th District Court to be heard on March 20, 2003 on Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment, file stamped 03 JAN 30, which was prepared by Defendants’ attorney’s law firm, LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P., and personally signed by attorney Griffin Pivateau Burke. Attached to this motion was an affidavit by Diane DeLoney, in which she states that she was the “custodian of Countrywide’s records” and in which she states, without reservation or qualification, on the second page of the affidavit that “Countrywide is the Owner and Holder of the Note and Deed of Trust.” More than two months prior to Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment being filed with the court, I filed with the court and provided a copy to Mr. Burke of Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. Attached to this petition was a copy of the Note referred to in the DeLoney affidavit displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another entity, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. The endorsed note and letter show that material statements made in the DeLoney affidavit were false. The copy of the note attached to the DeLoney affidavit does not show this endorsement, but the copy attached to

petition filed on November 19, 2002 does. Further I obtained copies of the endorsed note and this letter from the law firm of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. I was personally handed the file containing these documents by Mr. Burke at the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. These documents were being provided to me as part of the discovery process of the lawsuit. Mr. Burke was provided actual knowledge of the falsity of the DeLoney affidavit. Copies of the endorsed note and the letter were readily available to him in files kept at the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P.; he was provided another copy of the endorsed note and letter as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition; discrepancies with the copy of the note previously provided to the court by Mr. Burke were pointed out in paragraph 8 of this petition; and the significance of the endorsed note and letter were pointed out in paragraph 27 of this petition. In spite of this, Mr. Burke still brought the DeLoney affidavit to court again to use as evidence in asserting claims in the lawsuit. Mr. Burke knew that the lawsuit was an official proceeding in progress, and he presented the DeLoney affidavit with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the lawsuit in violation of Texas Penal Code §37.09: §37.09 Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence (a) A person commits an offense if, knowing that an investigation or official proceeding is pending or in progress, he: (1) alters, destroys, or conceals any record, document, or thing with intent to impair its verity, legibility, or availability as evidence in the investigation or official proceeding; or (2) makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the investigation or official proceeding. (b) This section shall not apply if the record, document, or thing concealed is privileged or is the work product of the parties to the investigation or official proceeding. (c) An offense under Subsection (a) or Subsection (d)(1) is a felony of the third degree. An offense under Subsection (d)(2) is a Class A misdemeanor. (d) …[Not applicable to this complaint]

Having knowledge that his client lacked the original note, Mr. Burke knew that his client did not have a valid claim to collect on the note and foreclose on the security

named in the deed of trust. Mr. Burke still filed a claim into court against the property and me knowing that the claim of his client was baseless, frivolous, and without authority and that he was therefore acting without authority when he filed Defendant’s First Amended Original Counterclaim, file stamped 02 DEC –9, in violation of Texas Penal Code §38.12: §38.12 Barratry and Solicitation of Professional Employment (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to obtain an economic benefit the person: (1) knowingly institutes a suit or claim that the person has not been authorized to pursue; ... (f) An offense under Subsection (a) or (b) is a felony of the third degree. … [Remainder of §38.12 not relevant to this complaint]

Mr. Burke carried out his acts of fabrication of evidence and barratry in agreement with and with aid of others in violation of Texas Penal Code §15.02: §15.02. Criminal Conspiracy. (a) A person commits criminal conspiracy if, with intent that a felony be committed: (1) he agrees with one or more persons that they or one or more of them engage in conduct that would constitute the offense; and (2) he or one or more of them performs an overt act in pursuance of the agreement. (b) An agreement constituting a conspiracy may be inferred from acts of the parties

Mr. Burke’s choice to join with others in the furtherance of the conspiracy makes him culpable for his own acts and those of his co-conspirators, §7.01 Texas Penal Code, Parties to offenses: (a)

A person is criminally responsible as a party to an offense if the

offense is committed by his own conduct, by the conduct of another for which he is criminally responsible, or by both. (b)

Each party to an offense may be charged with commission of the offense.

(c)

All traditional distinctions between accomplices and principals are abolished by this section, and each party to an offense maybe charged and convicted without alleging that he acted as a principal or accomplice.

§7.02 Texas Penal Code, Criminal responsibility for conduct of another: (a)

A person is criminally responsible for an offense committed by the conduct of another if: (1) having a legal duty to prevent commission of the offense and action with intent to promote or assist its commission, he fails to make a reasonable effort to prevent commission of the offense. (2) If, in the attempt to carry a conspiracy to commit one felony, another felony is committed by one of the conspirators, all conspirators are guilty of the felony actually committed, thought having no intent to commit it, if the offense was committed in furtherance of the unlawful purpose and was one that should have been anticipated as a result of the carrying out of the conspiracy.

Steven A. Leyh signed Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, and this motion was filed with the District Clerk of Galveston County, file stamp 04 JAN –8. Attached to this motion and referred to as summary judgment evidence on page 3 of the motion was a copy of a Substitute Trustee’s Deed. This substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the property had been sold on October 1, 2002 to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, that the Grantors were Danny R. Murphy and Sandra G. Cruz, and that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. The body of the substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the Beneficiary had declared that Grantor defaulted performing the obligations of the Deed of Trust, that all duties and obligations of the Beneficiary were lawfully performed, and that the Substitute Trustee acted under the authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and the Deed of Trust. Also attached to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession was an Affidavit of Mortgagee. This affidavit stated that Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. was “the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the

LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. (Charge 1 of 7) ––Fabricating Physical Evidence #1

p. 5 of 8

indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust”. This affidavit also stated that “at the instructions and on behalf of the holder of the debt or its agent” certain necessary actions had been taken. Mr. Leyh knew that material facts stated in the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee were false. The material facts falsely stated in these documents were that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. and that Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. was “the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust”. Documents made available to Mr. Leyh and filed into court more than a year prior to his filing of Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession provided him the knowledge that Countrywide had endorsed the note and transferred possession of it to another, and, thereby, it gave up all rights that it had in the note and the deed of trust. More than year prior to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession being filed with the court, I filed with the court and provided a copy to another attorney in Mr. Leyh’s law firm of Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. Attached to this petition was a copy of the Note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. Copies of the Note previously submitted to court by Countrywide did not display this endorsement. Additionally, I provided a copy of the endorsed note and the letter to Mr. Leyh as attachments to my Plaintiff’s Answer to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, file stamped 04 JAN 23. Also, Mr. Leyh was present when a copy of the endorsed note and the letter was entered into evidence in open court on or about December 22, 2003. The issue of Countrywide’s lack of ownership of the note upon which it was taking action to collect was brought up to Mr. Leyh several times during the year 2003. I obtained copies of the endorsed note and this letter from the law firm of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. I was handed the file containing these documents at the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P. These documents were being provided to me as part of the discovery process of the lawsuit. Mr. Leyh was provided actual knowledge of the falsity of the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee. Copies of the endorsed note and the letter were readily available to him in files kept at the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P.; he had available to him another copy of the endorsed note and letter as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition; discrepancies with the copy of the note previously provided to the court by Mr. Leyh’s law firm were pointed out in

paragraph 8 of this petition; and the significance of the endorsed note and letter were pointed out in paragraph 27 of this petition. In spite of this, Mr. Leyh still brought the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee to court to use as evidence in asserting claims in the lawsuit. Mr. Leyh knew that the lawsuit was an official proceeding in progress, and he presented the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee with knowledge of the falsity each and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the lawsuit in violation of Texas Penal Code §37.09, which makes tampering with or fabricating physical evidence an offense. Mr. Leyh presented the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and the Affidavit of Mortgagee to court, with knowledge of the falsity each, as certified copies of governmental records held by the County Clerk of Galveston County in violation of Section 37.10 Texas Penal Code: §37.10. Tampering With Governmental Record. (a) A person commits an offense if he: (1) knowingly makes a false entry in, or false alteration of, a governmental record; (2) makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent that it be taken as a genuine governmental record; (3) intentionally destroys, conceals, removes, or otherwise impairs the verity, legibility, or availability of a governmental record; (4) possesses, sells, or offers to sell a governmental record or a blank governmental record form with intent that it be used unlawfully; (5) makes, presents, or uses a governmental record with knowledge of its falsity; …

Having knowledge that his client lacked the original note, Mr. Leyh knew that his client did not have a valid claim to collect on the note and foreclose on the security named in the deed of trust. Mr. Leyh still filed a claim into court against the property and me knowing that the claim of his client was baseless, frivolous, and

without authority and that he was therefore acting without authority when he filed Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession in violation of Texas Penal Code §38.12, which makes Barratry an offense. Mr. Leyh carried out his acts of fabrication of evidence, tampering with governmental records, and barratry in agreement with and with aid of others in violation of Texas Penal Code §15.02, which makes Criminal Conspiracy an offense.

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: In order to stop a planned non-judicial foreclosure action against my home by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., I brought suit against Countrywide and the substitute trustee for the foreclosure action, Samuel Daffin, II, in the 405th District Court of Galveston County in May of 2002. Wayne J. Mallia was the regularly sitting judge in the 405th District Court. Mr. Daffin was part of the law firm BARRETT BURKE WILSON CASTLE DAFFIN & FRAPPIER, L.L.P., which was attorney for COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC. for the foreclosure action that Countrywide was taking against my property. Documents filed into the court case indicate that Mr. Daffin was acting as agent for the law firm in the foreclosure action. While this suit was ongoing, Samuel Daffin, II, conducted a supposed foreclosure sale of the property in the lobby of the Galveston County Courthouse on October 1, 2002. He signed a Substitute Trustee’s Deed and had it notarized on October 1, 2002 in Harris County, Texas. Mr. Daffin caused the Substitute Trustee’s Deed to be filed and recorded into the Official Public Records of Real Property of Galveston County on October 7, 2002. A copy of this Substitute Trustee’s Deed was attached to and used as evidence for Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, and this motion was filed with the District Clerk of Galveston County, file stamp 04 JAN –8. This substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the property had been sold on October 1, 2002 to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation for an amount of $60,300.00, that the Grantors were Danny R. Murphy and Sandra G. Cruz, and that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. The body of the substitute trustee’s deed indicated that the Beneficiary had declared that Grantor defaulted performing the obligations of the Deed of Trust, that all duties and obligations of the Beneficiary were lawfully performed, and that the Substitute Trustee acted under the authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and the Deed of Trust. Mr. Daffin knew that material facts stated in the Substitute Trustee’s Deed were false. The primary material fact falsely stated was that the Current Beneficiary was Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., and second that the Substitute Trustee acted under

the authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and the Deed of Trust. During the discovery process of the lawsuit, I was provided copies of documents that showed that, years prior to the foreclosure sale, Countrywide had given up ownership and possession of the note upon which it supposedly based its right to foreclose to recover amounts still owed to it. Mr. Daffin’s attorneys, LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P., provided me with a copy of the note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. Mr. Daffin was an attorney and, as such, is presumed to have been knowledgeable in the law, and he regularly acted in the capacity of a substitute trustee in foreclosure actions. Since Countrywide had given up the note years prior to Mr. Daffin conducting the foreclosure sale and making the Substitute Trustee’s Deed, Mr. Daffin could not possibly have found documentation sufficient to support his statement that Countrywide was the Current Beneficiary or that he had conducted the foreclosure sale “by authority conferred by the Current Beneficiary and by the Deed of Trust.” Mr. Daffin had a fiduciary responsibility as a trustee to insure that the property entrusted to him was dealt with in the manner prescribed by the Deed of Trust. The acts of Mr. Daffin were done in a manner contrary to the agreed Deed of Trust, and he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly misapplied the property that he held as a fiduciary in a manner that involved substantial risk of loss to the owner of the property, in violation of Texas Penal Code §32.45: §32.45 Misapplication of Fiduciary Property or Property of Financial Institution (a) For purposes of this section: (1) "Fiduciary" includes: (A) trustee, guardian, administrator, executor, conservator, and receiver; ...

him culpable for his own acts and those of his co-conspirators, §7.01 Texas Penal Code, Parties to offenses: (a)

A person is criminally responsible as a party to an offense if the offense is committed by his own conduct, by the conduct of another for which he is criminally responsible, or by both.

(b)

Each party to an offense may be charged with commission of the offense.

(c)

All traditional distinctions between accomplices and principals are abolished by this section, and each party to an offense maybe charged and convicted without alleging that he acted as a principal or accomplice.

§7.02 Texas Penal Code, Criminal responsibility for conduct of another: (a)

A person is criminally responsible for an offense committed by the conduct of another if: (1) having a legal duty to prevent commission of the offense and action with intent to promote or assist its commission, he fails to make a reasonable effort to prevent commission of the offense. (2) If, in the attempt to carry a conspiracy to commit one felony, another felony is committed by one of the conspirators, all conspirators are guilty of the felony actually committed, though having no intent to commit it, if the offense was committed in furtherance of the unlawful purpose and was one that should have been anticipated as a result of the carrying out of the conspiracy.

Also employed by the law firm and acting as an agent for the law firm during the course of foreclosure action was Sylvia Loredo, whose unlawful acts are described hereinafter. While the lawsuit was ongoing and in connection with a foreclosure sale of the property, Sylvia Loredo signed an Affidavit of Mortgagee and had it notarized on October 1, 2002 in Dallas County, Texas. Ms. Loredo caused the Affidavit of Mortgagee to be filed and recorded into the Official Public Records of Real Property of Galveston County on October 7, 2002. A copy of this Affidavit of Mortgagee was attached to and used as evidence for Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, and this motion was filed with the District Clerk of Galveston County, file stamp 04 JAN –8. This Affidavit of Mortgagee indicated that Ms. Loredo was an employee of BARRETT BURKE WILSON CASTLE DAFFIN & FRAPPIER, L.L.P., attorney

for COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., that the affidavit was made with respect to the foreclosure of that certain Deed of Trust dated December 16, 1997, recorded CLERK’S FILE NO. 9748599, Real Property Records, GALVESTON County, TEXAS … to secure payment of a Note to COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., that COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC. was the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust, and “At the instructions and on behalf of the holder of the debt or its agent” certain acts were performed as required by law. Ms. Loredo knew that she did not know certain material facts stated in the affidavit were true. The primary material fact falsely stated and without any reservation or qualification was that Countrywide was the holder of the debt or agent for the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust. During the discovery process of the lawsuit, I was provided copies of documents that showed that, years prior to the foreclosure sale, Countrywide had given up ownership and possession of the note upon which it supposedly based its right to foreclose to recover amounts still owed to it. At the offices of LEYH & PAYNE, L.L.P., I was provided with a copy of the note displaying an endorsement signed by an officer of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 stating that the Note was enclosed with the letter and that the original note had been “endorsed in blank”. This letter was addressed to First Chicago National Processing Corporation in Pasadena, California. A copy of the endorsed note and letter are attached to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. In endorsing the note and delivering possession of it to another, Countrywide gave up all rights it had in the note and deed of trust. During the course of the Lawsuit, Countrywide never provided any documentation or even an assertion to show that it was acting as an agent for any other entity. Ms. Loredo could not possibly have received any documentation sufficient to show the truthfulness of statements that she made in the Affidavit of Mortgagee. False statements of material facts knowingly made by Ms. Loredo in the Affidavit of Mortgagee were made in connection with the official proceeding of the foreclosure sale and constitute a violation of Section 37.03 Texas Penal Code: §37.02 Perjury (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to deceive and with knowledge of the statement's meaning: (1) he makes a false statement under oath or swears to the truth of a false statement previously made and the statement is required or authorized by law to be made under oath; or (2) he makes a false unsworn declaration under Chapter 132, Civil Practice and Remedies Code.

(b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor. §37.03 Aggravated Perjury (a) A person commits an offense if he commits perjury as defined in Section 37.02, and the false statement: (1) is made during or in connection with an official proceeding; and (2) is material. (b) An offense under this section is a felony of the third degree.

Ms. Loredo stated in the affidavit that the affidavit was being made with respect to the foreclosure that was taking place, showing that she knew that an official proceeding was pending or taking place. She made the Affidavit of Mortgagee with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the foreclosure process in violation of Section 37.09 Texas Penal Code, Tampering With or Fabricating Physical Evidence, text included above. Ms. Loredo made the Affidavit of Mortgagee, with knowledge of its falsity, and caused it to be filed and recorded into the governmental records held by the County Clerk of Galveston County in violation of Section 37.10 Texas Penal Code, Tampering With Governmental Record, text included above. Ms. Loredo carried out her acts of aggravated purjury, fabrication of evidence, and tampering with governmental records in agreement with and with aid of others in violation of Section 15.02 Texas Penal Code, Criminal Conspiracy, text included above.

Documents filed into court indicate that BARRETT BURKE WILSON CASTLE DAFFIN & FRAPPIER, L.L.P. was the attorney for Countrywide in the foreclosure action. BARRETT BURKE WILSON CASTLE DAFFIN & FRAPPIER, L.L.P. is an association for the purposes of the Texas Penal Code, §1.07 Definitions (a) In this code: … (6) "Association" means a government or governmental subdivision or agency, trust, partnership, or two or more persons having a joint or common economic interest.

Frank T. Carmona (Charge 1 of 2) – Tampering With Governmental Record

p. 1 of 3

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: I had filed suit in the 405th District Court to stop a non-judicial foreclosure action by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. that was being taken against my home. A hearing was set in the 405th District Court to be heard on March 20, 2003 on Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment. On March 20, 2003 Frank T. Carmona sat on the hearing as the Judge Presiding by assignment from Olen Underwood, Presiding Judge, Second Administrative Judicial Region. On that date Carmona signed a “Final Summary Judgment” granting the motion and effectively dismissing my lawsuit. This signed judgment was entered into the court records. Subsequently, I requested the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas to provide me with a copy of the Statement of Officer and Oath of Office for Frank T. Carmona as any th type of judge of the 405 District Court. In response, I obtained a letter under seal indicating that a diligent search of the records of that office had failed to find a Statement of Officer or an Oath of Office for Frank T. Carmona as Judge of the 405th Judicial District. Copy of this letter may be found in the court files as Exhibit 2 attached to Plaintiff’s Motion to Set Aside the Summary Judgment of March 20, 2003, file stamped 04 JAN 23. Defendants placed into the court record what appears to be every Statement of Officer and Oath of Office subscribed by Frank T. Carmona and filed into the records of the Secretary of State as attachments to their Defendants’ Response to Motion for New Trial, file stamped 03 MAY 23. These records show that Carmona properly filed Statements of Officer and Oaths of Office for two terms as the regular district judge of the 122nd Judicial District. These records also show a Statement of Elected/Appointed Officer for Carmona for a position of Visiting Senior District Judge filed in the Office of the Secretary of State on JAN 6 2003, but there is no Oath of Office that covers his tenure with the 405th District Court. Carmona served two terms as a district court judge and is presumed to be knowledgeable in the law. That Carmona properly subscribed to and filed the necessary Statements of Officer and Oaths of Office to assume the office of District Judge demonstrates that he was familiar with the documentation and procedures necessary to assume the office of judge. Texas courts have long held that without taking the constitutionally required oath of office, a person can not become a judge, and he is without authority to act. This requirement was more recently upheld by the Texas Court of Appeals in the case of Prieto Bail Bonds v. State, 978 S.W.2d 574, (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). While appearing as a judge but knowing that he was acting without the authority of a judge,

Wayne J. Mallia (Charge 1 of 3) –- Tampering With Governmental Record

p. 1 of 5

IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: I, Danny Royce Murphy, being duly sworn, do state upon my oath that I have personal knowledge and good reason to believe and do believe based upon the following information, most of which is evident in records held by the District Clerk of Galveston County in the file for cause number 02CV0624, Danny Royce Murphy v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et. al.: In order to stop a planned non-judicial foreclosure action against my home by Countyrwide Home Loans, Inc., I brought suit against Countrywide and the substitute trustee for the foreclosure action, Samuel Daffin, II, in the 405th District Court of Galveston County in May of 2002. Wayne J. Mallia was the regularly sitting judge in the 405th District Court. th A hearing was set in the 405 District Court to be heard on March 20, 2003 on Defendant’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment. On March 20, 2003 Frank T. Carmona, a visiting senior judge, sat on the hearing as the Judge Presiding by assignment from Olen Underwood, Presiding Judge, Second Administrative Judicial Region. On that date Carmona signed a “Final Summary Judgment” granting the motion. This signed judgment was entered into the court records.

Subsequently, I requested the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas to provide me with a copy of the Statement of Officer and Oath of Office for Frank T. Carmona as any type of judge of the 405th District Court. In response, I obtained a letter under seal indicating that a diligent search of the records of that office had failed to find a Statement of Officer or an Oath of Office for Frank T. Carmona as Judge of the 405th Judicial District. Copy of this letter may be found in the court files as Exhibit 2 attached to Plaintiff’s Motion to Set Aside the Summary Judgment of March 20, 2003, file stamped 04 JAN 23. Defendants placed into the court record what appears to be every Statement of Officer and Oath of Office subscribed by Frank T. Carmona and filed into the records of the Secretary of State as attachments to their Defendants’ Response to Motion for New Trial, file stamped 03 MAY 23. These records show that Carmona properly filed Statements of Officer and Oaths of Office for two terms as the regular district judge of the 122nd Judicial District. These records also show a Statement of Elected/Appointed Officer for Carmona for a position of Visiting Senior District Judge filed in the Office of the Secretary of State on JAN 6 2003, but there is no Oath of Office that covers his tenure with the 405th District Court. Plaintiff’s Motion for New Trial was heard before Judge Mallia. That Carmona had failed to qualify as a judge at the time that he signed the “Final Summary Judgment” was made apparent to Mallia at the hearing on the motion for new trial by the letter from the Secretary of State and the inability of defendants’ attorney to produce an Oath of Office covering the time that Carmona was assigned to the 405th District Court. Subsequently, Mallia effectively declared the “Final Summary Judgment” signed by Caromna to be valid by failing to set aside this judgment when requested to do so in Plaintiff’s Motion to Set Aside the Summary Judgment of March 20, 2003. Mallia then used

p. 2 of 5

then used this void summary judgment as a basis to declare that the Judgment Granting Countrywide’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, signed by Mallia on February 2, 2004, to be a final judgment that disposed of all remaining claims between the parties, knowing that the “Final Summary Judgment” signed by Caromna was not valid and therefore there were still claims between the parties. Mallia used the “Final Summary Judgment” with knowledge of its falsity with intent that it be taken as a genuine govermnetal record to make the Judgment Granting Countrywide’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession into a final judgment with knowledge of the falsity of the final judgment with intent that the final judgment also be taken as a genuine governmental record. Further, Mallia was made aware that Countrywide did not own or possess the note, which supposedly provided the basis for the right for it to foreclose upon my home. A copy of the note showing that it had been endorsed by A. Smith, Asst. Secretary of Countrywide and a letter dated 12/18/97 and addressed to First Chicago Processing Corporation indicating that the original endorsed note was being sent along with this letter were first placed into the records of the court as attachments to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Petition, file stamped 02 NOV 19. Endorsing the note and giving possession of it to another terminated Countrywide’s ownership of the note and of its position as the Holder of the Note, although it continually claimed to be the Holder of the Note in court. Countrywide never produced the original note in court nor even any records that would suggest that the note had ever been returned to it. The issue of Countrywide’s lack of ownership or interest in the note was brought t the attention of Mallia in court several times, one being in Plaintiff’s Answer to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, file stamped 04 JAN 23, which had copies of the endorsed note and letter attached. Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession, file stamped 04 JAN 8, had attachments of a copy of the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and Affidavit of Mortgagee that were products of the foreclosure sale of my home held on October 1, 2002 and a copy of the Deed of Trust that provided for a foreclosure sale by or on behalf of the Holder of the Note. Countrywide, having given up its ownership and interest in the note, had given up its rights under the Deed of Trust to foreclose. The foreclosure sale was held without right or authority to do so, making the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and Affidavit of Mortgagee fraudulent documents. The Substitute Trustee’s Deed and Affidavit of Mortgagee were filed into the public records held by the County Clerk of Galveston County. Certified copies of this fraudulent Substitute Trustee’s Deed and Affidavit of Mortgagee were attached to Defendant’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession. Mallia, having knowledge of Countrywide’s lack of ownership of the note and knowing that the Substitute Trustee’s Deed and Affidavit of Mortgagee were produced in a fraudulent manner, used the certified copies of these two documents as governmental records with knowledge of their falsity to support his signing of the Judgment Granting Countrywide’s Amended Motion for Summary Judgment as to Possession and thereby making a new governmental record with knowledge of its falsity and with intent that it be taken as a genuine governmental record in violation of Texas Penal Code Sec. 37.10: Sec. 37.10. Tampering With Governmental Record. (a) A person commits an offense if he:

Wayne J. Mallia (Charge 1 of 3) –- Tampering With Governmental Record

p. 3 of 5

(1) knowingly makes a false entry in, or false alteration of, a governmental record; (2) makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent that it be taken as a genuine governmental record; (3) intentionally destroys, conceals, removes, or otherwise impairs the verity, legibility, or availability of a governmental record; … (5) makes, presents, or uses a governmental record with knowledge of its falsity; … Mallia’s actions show intent that the judgments and orders that he signed be regarded as valid with the effect of dismissing my suit against the defendants, denying me the protection of the court against an unlawful dispossession of my home, ordering an unlawful dispossession of my home, and impeding my right to access the court. Such actions constitute the offense of Official Oppression in violation of Texas Penal Code Section 39.03, 39.03 Official Oppression: (a)

A public servant acting under color of his office or employment commits an offense if he: (1) intentionally subjects another to mistreatment or to arrest, detention, search, seizure, dispossession, assessment, or lien that he knows is unlawful; (2) Intentionally denies or impedes another in the exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power, or immunity, knowing his conduct is unlawful; or (3) Intentionally subjects another to sexual harassment

(b)

For purposes of this section, a public servants acts under color of his office or employment if he acts or purports to act in an official capacity or takes advantage of such actual or purported capacity.

(c)

(defines “sexual harassment”)

(d)

An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

Mallia is a sitting district court judge, and, as such, he is presumed knowledgeable of the law. Mallia was provided sufficient knowledge of the acts of the parties and attorneys of the lawsuit and other actors to recognize the unlawfulness of those acts. Mallia’s acts and omissions show his agreement to join in a criminal conspiracy with others to commit a felony in violation of Texas Penal Code Sec. 15.02:

Wayne J. Mallia (Charge 1 of 3) –- Tampering With Governmental Record

p. 4 of 5

15.02. Criminal Conspiracy. (a) A person commits criminal conspiracy if, with intent that a felony be committed: (1) he agrees with one or more persons that they or one or more of them engage in conduct that would constitute the offense; and (2) he or one or more of them performs an overt act in pursuance of the agreement. (b) An agreement constituting a conspiracy may be inferred from acts of the parties

Mallia was in position to cause cessation of the unlawful acts of the other actors at any time. His choice not to do so makes him culpable for his own acts and those of his co-conspirators,

7.01 Texas Penal Code, Parties to offenses: (a)

A person is criminally responsible as a party to an offense if the offense is committed by his own conduct, by the conduct of another for which he is criminally responsible, or by both.

(b)

Each party to an offense may be charged with commission of the offense.

(c)

All traditional distinctions between accomplices and principals are abolished by this section, and each party to an offense maybe charged and convicted without alleging that he acted as a principal or accomplice.

7.02 Texas Penal Code, Criminal responsibility for conduct of another: (a)

A person is criminally responsible for an offense committed by the conduct of another if: a. having a legal duty to prevent commission of the offense and action with intent to promote or assist its commission, he fails to make a reasonable effort to prevent commission of the offense. b. If, in the attempt to carry a conspiracy to commit one felony, another felony is committed by one of the conspirators, all conspirators are guilty of the felony actually committed, thought having no intent to commit it, if the offense was committed in furtherance of the unlawful purpose and was one that should have been anticipated as a result of the carrying out of the conspiracy.

Last September I sent a box containing more than 50 criminal complaints to the grand jury in Galveston County in care of the Criminal District Attorney’s office. Recently, attorney Steven A. Leyh made an affidavit, which indicates in paragraph 5 that the Section Chief for the grand jury is unaware of these complaints. I have the certified mail return receipt that shows that this parcel was received at the offices of the district attorney. Also, last February I made a public information request to the district attorney’s office for copies of the complaints against one particular individual. This request was made, in part, because I had not received confirmation from the foreman of the grand jury that the complaints had been received. I included a request for confirmation and means for the foreman to conveniently to provide confirmation to me in the package mailed to the members of the grand jury. I received a letter from Joel H. Bennett, First Assistant, Criminal District Attorney, indicating that I was being provided copies of documents previously requested. This letter requested that I sign a receipt for the documents received. The receipt

indicated that the documents provided were in response to Item 1.0 of my request dated February 1, 2007. Item 1.0 of my request was for copies of criminal complaints made against Samuel F. Daffin, II. The certified mail receipt and the response to the PIA request show that these complaints are somewhere in the offices of the Galveston County Criminal District Attorney, but the affidavit by Steven A. Leyh indicates that after ten months these complaints still have not found their way to the grand jury. I am requesting that the Attorney General make an investigation into this matter and insure that these misdirected criminal complaints be brought to the attention of the grand jury. I have attached a PDF file containing copies of the documents mentioned above, a sampling of the criminal complaints mailed to the grand jury, and other relevant documents. Bookmarks have been included for easy navigation within the file. These criminal complaints were a result of acts and omissions committed by various individuals, entities, and judges involved in a lawsuit challenging the foreclosure of a house. The foreclosure was supposedly taking place under the authority provided by provisions a promissory note and deed of trust. Early during the court proceedings, proof was supplied to the court supporting the right to foreclose in the form of an affidavit to which was attached a copy of the note and deed of trust. Subsequent to these documents being submitted to the court, a copy of this note was discovered, which displayed a materially different characteristic. The back, page 2, of this discovered note showed that it had been endorsed by an official of the lender. Along with the note was found a letter that states that the endorsed original note was enclosed with the letter. This letter was addressed to an entity that was not part of the lender, and the date of the letter was two days after the date that the note was made. In court, the original lender continues to claim that it is the Holder of the Note despite the evidence that it is not. Several times attorneys for the lender have brought a paper into the courtroom claiming it to be the original note but always without anyone providing authentication, and they always object to any suggestion that this paper be placed into possession of the court. That the judge in this case continually fails to take proper action on this and other issues is the reason for criminal complaints being made against him. The transaction that brought about the note in question was for the purchase of a home, and I believe there is sufficient evidence here to show a violation of consumer protection laws. Thank you.
