    STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF ORAL ARGUMENT

    Appellant seeks an oral argument in this matter as it will afford the appellate

    court the opportunity to gain a full comprehension of the true nature of the engineered

    real estate boom/bust cycle ending in 2008, the subsequent unlawful fraudclosure

    epidemic and how it affects the people within the Courts urisdiction! "ral Argument

    would be of substantial #alue to the Court and in the interest of the people,

    particularly in light of the fact that the underlying dispute is one sounding in equity!

    $ennessee affords substantial respect to equity %urisdiction, ha#ing maintained a

    separate and distinct Chancery Court, where the spirit of former Chancellor &enry '!

    (ibson li#es on!

    STATEMENT OF ISSUES/ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR

    )! *hether the court erred in finding that +efendants/Appellees do not owelaintiff/Appellant a duty to produce a genuine claim with the requisiteelements, when attempting to collect on a purported obligation, includinginitiating a non-%udicial foreclosure.

    ))! *hether the court erred in finding laintiff/Appellant did not state a claim forwhich relief can be granted.

    moneys worth, or a thing of #alue from a man or woman, said persons4 produce a

    genuine claim supported with strict proof! 5aid genuine claim consists of two 24

    elements6 14 #erified chain of custody to the title legal and beneficial4 to the alleged

    obligation and 24 #erified accounting, comporting with (enerally Accepted

    Accounting rinciples (AA4 and inancial Accounting 5tandards A54 170,

    Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of

    Liabilities,of all debits, credits and third party payments made for the benefit of

    Appellant!

    At the time of filing the original bill, eb! 2, 2012, Appellant was without

    knowledge that $ennessee still maintained a separate and distinct Chancery court, as

    do the states of +elaware and ississippi! Appellant belie#ed at the time that the

    Circuit Court was clothed with both equity and at law %urisdiction! )f the appellate

    court finds relief for Appellant could not be granted due to mistakenly filing an

    equitable bill in the Circuit Court, Appellant will re-file said case with the proper

    caption in the Chancery Court!

    doctrine and the equitable ma9im :he who seeks equity, must do equity;!

    Appellant, in alignment with and in support of the declaratory %udgment suit,

    filed a separate 4!

    :$)A;4 and 'eal Bstate 5ettlement rocedures Act :'B5A!;4

    Appellant successfully disputed this mischaracteriation, claiming that pro#ing

    court! ibid'! p! 814

    Gen"!ne Cla!&

    $he Court correctly recognied laintiffs rimary Argument as being the

    following6 :+efendants are andated to roduce a Dona ide Claim and ailed in

    that +uty,; yet, in error, ultimately went on to find, in its April 1=, 2017 "pinion and

    "rder ibid'! p! 2?>46

    :$he Court is unaware of any requirement for +efendants to producedocuments prior to initiating foreclosure proceedings!;

    or those following the golden rule :do unto others as one would ha#e done to

    them;, not :he who has the gold makes the rules;4 seeking a declaration-- that before

    a person makes a claim on a man or woman, that the claimant be in possession of and

    produce e#idence of a genuine claim-- seems ridiculously self e#ident to reasonable

    people!

    &owe#er, its well known public knowledge that banks and their attorneys

    systematically and routinely #iolate the golden rule, as e#eryone else is e9pected to

    follow to ensure society does not self implode! ike the hypocritical parent that says

    $he preceding statement is not a fictitious bald allegation, it is fact! $hat fact is

    %udicial foreclosure states such as $ennessee-- to entertain the erroneous :opinion;

    of the trial court that, when challenged, there is no requirement to be in possession

    of and no duty to produce a genuine claim prior to initiating foreclosure

    proceedings, would lead to the following scenario playing out o#er and o#er again!

    5aid scenario would make a mockery of the :%ust-us; system, causing chaos and

    massi#e disturbance of the peace! )magine ifE!

    )magine udge +oes surprise when udge +oe returns home from a long dayon the bench of the Circuit Court of +a#idson County, to find a letter sent #iacertified mail from the same law firm who was attempting to collect the alleged:debt; on behalf of Acme months ago!

    )nside the letter udge +oe finds a :3otice of 5ale;! Attached to the 3otice of5ale is a copy of a lien filed on the land records of +a#idson County for failureto :pay; the alleged amount Acme claimed to be due and owing!

    )nfuriated, udge +oe sues Acme and the crooked attorney who made a bogusclaim, after Acme was gi#en multiple opportunities to pro#e its claim, andfailed to do so!

    uch to udge +oes surprise, udge +oe is informed that because there is

    purported :self authenticating public record e#idence; of the alleged lien onthe land records, the land records dont lie, so the debt must be legitimate!"therwise, why would Acme and their attorney file a lien if they could notpro#e their claim.

    urther, since the lien is public record e#idence, Acme and their attorney aretold by the presiding udge cair, that Acme does not ha#e to pro#ide anyfurther :e#idence; that the alleged :debt; claimed to be due and owing toAcme from udge +oe is :#alid;!

    udge cair says :the lien says what it says, so it must be #alid;

    $he abo#e scenario is real and particularied for some people in aryland who

    are forced to e9pend time and money challenging purported :debts; absent any

    foundation or strict proof emphasis in bold4!

    udge 'owe, being a prudent consumer who did not slumber on hisrights, demanded a #erified audit and accounting, %ust as laintiff did threeyears ago!

    )nstead of producing the bona fide claim supported with a #erified audit

    and accounting which they cannot produce4, 3ationstar ser#ed a bogus 3oticeof +efault on udge 'owe, as a first step in an unlawful fraudclosure to co#erup their crimes! $his conduct is a common pattern and practice of thebeginnings of a co#er-up!

    the equity court that :we dont know what you want; is akin in re#erse4 to the Oafka

    is ri"e, b% its ver% structure, "ushes against our insistence u"on

    mature dis"utes. That is, it contem"lates an ex ante

    determination of rights that exists in some tension with

    traditional notions of ri"eness.

    21! laintiff will suffer irreparable harm, along with slander of her goodname, and slander of title to property, if a non-%udicial fraduclosure can

    be carried out in the absence of a bona fide claim being produced!

    III. CONCLUSION

    Compelling production of the two 24 elements to support a genuine claim will

    maintain a balance of the equities between the parties, maintain the status quo, and

    pro#ide Appellant the rightful remedy that Appellant sought with clean hands, but was

    denied in the trial court!

    )t was re#ersible and plain error for the Court to ignore Appellant right to a

    declaratory %udgment stating +efendants ha#e a non-delegable duty to pro#ide the

    strict proof Appellant sought! Appellants suit is founded not only on common sense

    and equity, but also by decisional law in the 5i9th Circuit and across the country in

    other non-%udicial foreclosure states!
