Attached you will find three orders I got in the mail late yesterday from Judge Stancil.
Each is captioned ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION DISQUALIFY HALE
STANCIL. My name is misspelled three times in each of three orders dated December 18,
2014. The Certificate of Service is dated December 19, 2014. Three envelopes each postmarked
December 22, 2014 are addressed to:
Neil J. Gillespie and Mark Gillespie as Co-Trustees of the Gillespie Family Living
Trust Agreement dated February 10, 1997 8092 SW 115th Loop Ocala, FL 34481

The Florida Bar, Paul Hill, General Counsel, notified me by email Friday December 19,
2014 at 3:08 PM that UPL Case No. 20133090(5) against me was closed, see attached. The
attached closure letter of Ms. Coaxum dated May 5, 2014 references EHQF Trust v. S & A
Capital Partners, Inc., 947 So. 2d 606 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007). From the attached Order:
The notice of appeal filed by appellant, a trust, was not signed by an attorney licensed to
practice law in Florida. Section 454.23, Florida Statutes (2006), prohibiting the
unlicensed practice of law, provides no exception for representation of a trust. Although
Florida has not previously addressed the issue, other states have concluded that a trustee
cannot appear pro se on behalf of the trust, because the trustee represents the interests of
others and would therefore be engaged in the unauthorized practice of law.
3.
As sole trustee, I filed Notice of Trust June 24, 2014 with the Marion County Probate
Court, case 42-2014-CP-001060-AXXX-XX. The receipt and docket appear with the Notice.
The Trust avoided probate and the case is closed.
4.
Attached is my Acceptance of Office of Sole Trustee. At all times pertinent, my brother
and I had a conflict as co-trustees, and he and related interests were represented by counsel,
KAUFMAN, ENGLETT & LYND, PLLC. Consent to Judgment was filed July 8, 2013.
The attorney who made the Trust for my parents, Steven H.L. Bowman (Bar ID 434396) was
disbarred for 10 years on July 21, 2014 and could not represent me, see attached. Our current
family lawyer represented other Defendants in this case. I was unable to obtain other counsel.
My brother et al was represented by counsel, Anthony J. Solomon, Esq., Florida Bar No. 93057,
KAUFMAN, ENGLETT & LYND, PLLC
The following is from my Rule 1.150 Motion to Strike Sham Pleadings filed July 25, 2014:

Notice of Defendants Consent to Judgment was entered July 8, 2013 by counsel of
record for MARK GILLESPIE and JOETTA GILLESPIE AKA UNKNOWN SPOUSE OF
MARK GILLESPIE and ELIZABETH BAUERLE NKA ELIZABETH BIDGOOD. (Exhibit 5).
6.
Mark Gillespie resigned as co-trustee of the Trust to avoid breach of Trust after giving
consent to judgment. The property in foreclosure is the only asset of the Trust.
A trustee shall take reasonable steps to take control of and protect the trust property.
Section 736.0809, Florida Statutes, Control and protection of trust property.
A trustee shall take reasonable steps to enforce claims of the trust and to defend claims
against the trust. Section 736.0811, Florida Statutes, Enforcement and defense of claims.
6.
Mark Gillespie quit-claimed any interest in the property to me July 7, 2014. The QuitClaim Deed was filed with the Clerk July 9, 2014, and a copy appears at Exhibit 6.
7.
A trustee shall take reasonable steps to compel a former trustee or other person to deliver
trust property to the trustee and, except as provided in s. 736.08125, to redress a breach of
trust known to the trustee to have been committed by a former trustee. Section 736.0812,
Florida Statutes, Collecting trust property.
The Florida Bar review, 13 Fla. Jur 2d Creditors' Rights 91
The equitable interest of a defendant as beneficiary of a trust is not subject to
garnishment, at least in the absence of express statutory authorization.[1] The creditors of
the trustee are not entitled to an attachment to subject trust property held by the trustee to
the payment of the trustee's debts.[2] In fact, the remedy is not available even if the debt
is chargeable to the trust itself.[3] Likewise, social security and withholding taxes held in
a trust fund for the United States established and managed by a debtor are not
garnishable.[4] Under a contract providing a brokerage fee of 5% of all principal paid to
the seller, the seller became a trustee for the broker of 5% of all payments received, and
the broker was not a general creditor of the seller so that the trust funds could not be
reached by general creditors of the seller, and the estate of the seller became a successor
constructive trustee as to payments received by it.[5]
Westlaw 91. Property held in trust, May 4, 2010
Susannah Lyle of The Bar responded October 23, 2014 1:41 PM by email, see attached,
I relayed your concern to a couple of the attorneys on the Consumer Protection Law
Committee. Here is what they said:
The pamphlet states that the revocable trust assets are not protected during the maker's
lifetime. This makes sense because the trust is revocable by the maker during his/her
lifetime. It is my understanding that the Fla. Jur. passage discusses protection of those
assets from the makers creditors after the maker's death - when the trust is in effect and
no longer revocable because the owner is deceased. The pamphlet is correct that the
beneficiaries' creditors could then go after the assets absent a spendthrift provision in the
trust. (Trust has a spendthrift provision).
8.
Judge Stancil failed to conduct a case management conference as provided by Rule
1.200, Pretrial Procedure, enclosed. Instead it appears the judge and Mr. Curtis cooperated on a
motion to hear all motions, contrary to the enclosed Rule 1.100(b) that requires, All notices of
hearing shall specify each motion or other matter to be heard.
The following is from a renewed motion to disqualify Judge Stancil.
9.
During a hearing December 18, 2014 on the foreclosure of my residential homestead
property, Judge Stancil and attorney Curtis Wilson of McCalla Raymer denied my right to due
process by violating Rule 1.115(a) Pleading Mortgage Foreclosures, that required dismissal of
the verified complaint for failing to plead that the Plaintiff is the holder of the original note.
10.
The Plaintiffs 5 page Verified Complaint To Foreclose Home Equity Conversion
Mortgage (the Complaint) appears at Exhibit 1. The Complaint fails to meet the requirements
of Fla. R. Civ. Pro., Rule 1.115(a) Pleading Mortgage Foreclosures, that states,
Rule 1.115(a) Claim for Relief. A claim for relief that seeks to foreclose a mortgage or
other lien on residential real property, including individual units of condominiums and
cooperatives designed principally for occupation by one to four families which secures a
promissory note, must: (1) contain affirmative allegations expressly made by the claimant
at the time the proceeding is commenced that the claimant is the holder of the original
note secured by the mortgage; or (2) allege with specificity the factual basis by which the
claimant is a person entitled to enforce the note under section 673.3011, Florida Statutes.
11.
Nothing in the Complaint shows the Plaintiff is the holder of the original note secured
by the mortgage; Nothing in the Complaint alleges with specificity the factual basis by which
the claimant is a person entitled to enforce the note under section 673.3011, Florida Statutes.
Likewise, the Complaint failed to meet the other requirements of Rule 1.115:
(b) Delegated Claim for Relief.
(c) Possession of Original Promissory Note.
(d) Lost, Destroyed, or Stolen Instrument.
(e) Verification.
12.
On July 25, 2014 I filed Defendants Rule 1.150 Motion To Strike Sham Pleadings,
Plaintiffs Verified Complaint To Foreclose Home Equity Loan. THE MOTION HAS NOT
BEEN HEARD as of today. Therefore the Complaint must be dismissed. Judge Stancil ignored
Rule 1.115(a), and failed to dismiss the Complaint. In failing to uphold the law, Judge Stancil
violated Supreme Court of Florida Administrative Order No. AOSC14-66, that holds in part,
In all things, a judge shall respect and comply with the law and shall act at all times in a
manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.
Canon 2A, Code of Judicial Conduct.
Please advise if you want any of the forgoing to remain confidential, although some of the
information has been public for some time. Thank you for your assistance.
