MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION
SYSTEMS, INC., as nominee for U.S.
BANK, N.A. f/k/a FIRSTAR BANK, N.A.
successor in interest to ALLIANCE
MORTGAGE BANKING CORP.,

against

CARMEN POBLETE

excerpt:

An examination of the plaintiff’s papers submitted herein reveals that they do not contain proof of plaintiff‘s standing to commence this action. The papers assert the plaintiff, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS), is the “nominee” for the original mortgagee, Alliance Mortgage Banking Corp. The papers also assert that U.S. Bank, formerly known as First Star Bank, is the successor in interest to the original mortgagee. Furthermore plaintiff has submitted a certificate of merger between U.S. Bank of Oregon and U.S. Bank of Minnesota. Thus the court is unable to ascertain from the papers which party is the record owner of the mortgage, whether or not the mortgage was assigned, and the nature of the relationship between the mortgagee and the plaintiff.

Additionally, plaintiff has submitted, inter alia, an affidavit in support from ”Gregg V. Speer, Vice President,” who claims to be familiar with the books and records maintained by the plaintiff. However the Mr. Speer has failed to identify what entity he represents. Additionally, the affidavit does not specifically recite the facts of this particular default, the facts concerning the subject property, and when the default notice was sent. Indeed the affidavit only contains boilerplate recitations that could relate to any property or defendant.

Furthermore, the copy of the mortgage included in the plaintiff’s papers is barely legible.

Accordingly, as plaintiff has not established its standing to institute this action or prima facie entitlement to relief the proceeding is dismissed

4 Q. You contend that Exhibit 1 is the document
5 that authorizes you to sign on behalf of Countrywide Home
6 Loans Servicing LP?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. Okay. How so?
9 A. Countrywide Financial Corporation
10 actually — let me correct myself.
11 The plaintiff, as listed in this particular
12 case, is owned by Countrywide Financial Corporation.
13 It’s one of their entities.
14 Q. Okay. And how do you come to that
15 information?
16 A. Because I know it. I’ve been doing it for
17 a long time. I’ve — I don’t remember at what point in
18 time I found out that knowledge, but I’ve had it.
19 Q. Okay. Now, is Countrywide Home Loans
20 Servicing LP, to your knowledge, a separate corporate
21 entity from Countrywide Financial Corporation?
22 A. I don’t know.

<SNIP>

1 Q. And was that the situation back in December
2 of 2008 when you executed the assignment?
3 A. Yes.
4 Q. Okay. At that time, who was the owner of
5 the beneficial interest in the mortgage?
6 A. The beneficial interest in the note was
7 held by Fannie Mae. The interest in the mortgage was as
8 to, arguably, the interest in the mortgage was both
9 entities, the plaintiff and the Fannie Mae.
10 Q. Do you have any documents establishing your
11 authority to execute any assignments on behalf of Fannie
12 Mae?
13 A. Did I bring them? What? Say that again.
14 Sorry.
15 Q. Do you have any documents indicating your
16 authority to execute assignments on behalf of Fannie Mae?
17 A. I don’t know.
18 Q. Fannie Mae — excuse me.
19 The mortgage is to secure the note, right?
20 A. The mortgage follows the note, yes.
21 Q. Okay. And if Fannie Mae has the note, they
22 have to transfer or assign their interest in that note —
23 MR. ROSENQUEST: Object to form.
24 BY MR. FLANAGAN:
25 Q. — to someone else.

<SNIP>

20 Q. Okay. Does the name R.K. Arnold mean
21 anything to you?
22 A. No.
23 Q. Do you know Mr. Arnold, who is the
24 president of MERS?
25 A. No.
1 Q. You never heard of him?
2 A. No.
3 Q. If he stated that in order to be a
4 certifying officer and sign an assignment on behalf of
5 MERS somebody needed to pass and complete an examination,
6 is that something that is familiar to you?
7 A. It’s not familiar to me, no. I don’t know.
8 Q. Okay. That was not something that you had
9 to do.
10 A. I did not do that.
11 Q. Okay. And if he’s saying that, if that was
12 a rule or a qualification, that was something that was
13 not made known to you.

Before you go to the deposition, take a look at R. K. Arnold’s reply to one of Senator Brown’s questions on the hearing for “Problems in Mortgage Servicing From Modification to Foreclosure” on November 15, 2010.

v.

THOMAS STANDFORD, UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA ACTING THROUGH THE IRS

EXCERPT:

Based up0n the submissions herein, it appears that plaintiff “MERS” had no standing to
commence the present action as it was not the owner of the mortgage and note when the action was
commenced. As of January 28,2005, “MERS” had already relinquished its interest in the note and
mortgage and at no subsequent lime did it regain an interest in the subject mortgage and note. In
addition, the affidavit of merit that is attached in support of the moving papers as Exhibit C, was
executed b) “Certifying Officer” Carolyn Brown of “MERS” on February 13,2009. “MERS” had no
demonstrable interest or standing in this matter on Feb.l3,2009 and, accordingly, the affidavit of its
of officer has no probative value.

Dear MERS Executives:

Could this deposition hold the key to take all of MERS V3 &  MERSCORP down!

There is not 1, 2 but 3 MERS, Inc. in the past.

Just like MERS et al signing documents dated years later from existence the Corporate employees do the same to their own corporate resolutions! Exists in 1998 and certifies it in 2002.

If this is not proof of a Ponzi Scheme then I don’t know what is… They hide the truth in many layers but as we keep pulling and peeling each layer back eventually we will come to the truth!

“A Subtle Stranger” Orchestrates a Paradigm Shift

MERS et al has absolutely no supervision of what is being done by it’s non-members certifying authority PERIOD!

Q Approximately?
A I wouldn’t even begin to be able to tell you
right now.
Q Is it in the thousands?
A Yes.
Q Have you been doing this all around the
country in every state in the country?
A Yes.
Q And all these officers I understand are unpaid
officers of MERS?
A Yes.
Q And there’s no live person who is an employee
of MERS that they report to, is that correct, who is an
employee?
MR. BROCHIN: Object to the form of the
question.
A There are no employees of MERS.
