Re:

Dear Judge Lindsay:

BSI Mortgage IV, LLC v. Kaushik et al.


Docket No. 14-cv-01640 (LDW)(ARL)

This firm is counsel to defendant Kaushik in the above-entitled action. This response is in
opposition to the letter-motion filed by counsel for movant Crosby Capital USA LLC (Crosby)
seeking to quash the properly noticed and served subpoena ad testificandum and subpoena duces
tecum (subpoenas) upon Crosby Capital. Dckt. No. 42.
Counsel demands the Court quash the subpoenas served by defendant pursuant to Rule
45(d) of the F.R.C.P., because, as he cites in his letter, it seeks irrelevant and immaterial
information resulting in an undue burden on non-party Crosbys legitimate privacy interest.
Counsel also cites Rule 45(d)(3)(A) providing that the issuing court must quash or modify a
subpoena thatrequires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, if no exception or waiver
applies; or subjects a person to undue burden.
Movant has correctly argued that [a] subpoena that pursues material with little apparent or
likely relevance to the subject matter,is likely to be quashed as unreasonable even where the
burden of compliance would not be onerous, particularly where, as here, the person or entity on
whom the demand is made is not a party to the action. Corbett v. eHome Credit Corp., No. 10CV-26 (JG)(RLM), 2010 WL 3023870, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 2, 2010).
Parties may obtain discovery regarding any non-privileged matter that relevant to the subject
matter in the pending litigation. Rule 26(b)(1). The information sought need not be admissible at
trial as long as the discovery appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence. Rule 26(b)(1). See Daval Steel Prods. v. M/V Fakredine, 951 F.2d 1357, 1367 (2d Cir.
1991); Morse/Diesel, Inc. v. Fidelity & Deposit Co., 122 F.R.D. 447, 449 (S.D.N.Y. 1988).
FCI Lending Services, Inc. (FCI) is/was the company used by plaintiff (plaintiff or
1

Case 2:14-cv-01640-LDW-ARL Document 50 Filed 03/13/15 Page 2 of 3 PageID #: 955

BSI) to service the mortgage on the subject premises. Through a lawful subpoena to FCI, properly
noticed to plaintiff, defendant received a copy of the Specialty Loan Servicing Agreement (Servicing
Agreement) of December 26, 2013. Exhibit A. The email listed is yonel@crosbycapitalusa.com.
Crosbycapitalusa.com is the domain name of Crosby Capital USA LLC. Defendant also received
the Loan Servicing Setup Form (Setup Form) of December 13, 2013, in which the contact
company is listed as Crosby Capital USA LLC and the contact name listed was Yonel Devico.
Exhibit B. Both were signed and/or initialed by Devico.
While Crosby listed the Investor/Lender Information as BSI Mortgage IV LLC, that
does not permit Crosby to disclaim any connection to this action. From the Setup Form, it appears
that the bank account from which payment was made to FCI was one held in the name of Crosby.
This is because the form specifies that the client include such information only if[]other than as
INVESTOR/LENDER. Therefore, BSI was not the entity that made the payments to FCI.
Defendants defenses in this action are, in part, based upon the lack of diversity
jurisdiction. To demonstrate this, defendant must show, among other things, that (i) BSI is not a
legitimate entity (i.e., it is sham or front company), (ii) the company which BSI is a front for has
a connection to New York (i.e., if BSI is a front for another LLC, the membership of that LLC will
need to be examined) and/or (iii) BSI is controlled, directed and/or operated by at least one (1)
person who is a citizen of New York. This can only be done by permitting discovery against Crosby.
In examining diversity jurisdiction in the context of LLCs, the Courts of this Circuit have
held that citizenship determination requires an exploration of the citizenship of the constituent
entities as far down as necessary to unravel fully the citizenship of the entity before the court.
Bayerische Landesbank, N.Y. Branch v. Aladdin Capital Management, LLC, 692 F.3d 42, 49
(2012). Bayerische was a diversity action against Aladdin Capital Management LLC (Aladdin).
692 F.3d at 49. Aladdin's sole member was ACH, whose membership was one limited partnership,
four U.S. citizens and five corporations. The Court found Aladdin possessed the citizenship of
ACH, which possessed citizenship of each of its 10 members, declaring: [D]efendant Aladdin is a
citizen of the various states of the United States of which its member, ACH, is a citizen (through
ACH's members). Id. at 51.
Additionally, defendant seeks to establish the connection between Crosby and Yonel Devico.
From all apparent information, Yonel Devico is a member of Crosby. In fact, he may be the only
member. This is relevant to the extent that Crosby is the alter-ego of Yonel Devico and the business
vehicle through which this action has been perpetrated. Martin v. D.B. Martin Co., 10 Del.Ch.
211, 217, 88 A. 612, 615 (1913) (It must be in the power of the court to look through these legal
fictions to the equitable realities and see by whom and through what agencies the wrong is done and
on whom the loss ultimately falls.") as cited by NetJets Aviation, Inc. v. LHC Communications,
LLC, 537 F. 3d 168 (2d Cir., 2008).
Upon conducting a deposition and reviewing documents provided by Crosby, defendant,
2

Case 2:14-cv-01640-LDW-ARL Document 50 Filed 03/13/15 Page 3 of 3 PageID #: 956

and this Court, will be able to determine if Crosby is in fact the real party in interest to this action.
Rule 17(a)(3). Rule 17(a)(3) also sets forth that a court may not dismiss an action for failure to
prosecute in the name of the real party in interest until, after an objection, a reasonable time has
been allowed for the real party in interest tobe substituted into the action. In Re Residential
Capital, LLC (Bankr. Court, S.D.N.Y, 2015). This determination will actually be favorable to
plaintiff, since they may be able to substitute in Crosby as a plaintiff.
As to the relevance of requests made by defendant as to the proof of resident alien,
nonresident alien, lawful permanent resident or other immigration status of past and present
members of Crosby, its relevance is in order to allow defendant to trace any funds used by Crosby to
provide payment to FCI, and other non-parties to this action. A foreign member of an LLC is
required to obtain an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) in order to file Form
1065 with the IRS. Whether Crosby claims any members who reside abroad, verifying that these
are not merely paper members can be done through a confirmation of their ITIN and Form 1065.
Without being aware of the citizenship status of the members of Crosby Capital, defendant will be
unable to seek the proper documentation that would confirm their bona fide, beneficial interest in
Crosby. This would force defendant to request discovery materials in an overly broad fashion which
is not in the interest of either party or this Court.
As to the relevance of telephone records sought by defendant, these are relevant for reasons
outlined in docket entries 46, 47 and 48: to place Crosby, and not plaintiff, at the center of this
action, thereby permitting defendant to ascertain the identity of the real party in interest and/or the
beneficial members thereof.
Finally, that movant, through its counsel, requests the quashing of the subpoenas by calling
them (again) a fishing expedition is discredited by the attached exhibits and the emails, obtained
via the aforementioned subpoena to FCI. In the attached emails, Mr. Weinreb, a man whose
integrity apparently matches that of his clients in this matter, is copied on, and responds to emails
where the recipients are Yonel Devico, using the email addresses of yoneldevico@gmail.com and
yonel@crosbycapitalusa.com. Perhaps Mr. Weinreb, Crosby, Yonel Devico et al. were unaware that
litigation before a federal court with a determined and dogged adversary would result in the exposure
of their misdeeds. At another juncture in this action, defendant may move appropriately against Mr.
Weinreb and other persons or entities which are involved. At present, defendant requests that this
Court, deny, with prejudice, movants motion to quash the subpoenas directed to Crosby.
Respectfully submitted,

Lender
BSI Mortgage IV LLC

This Specialty Loan Servicing Agreement (the Agreement) is dated 12/26/2013 and is between FCI Lender Services, Inc., a California corporation
doing business as FCI, as Servicing Agent, licensed as a California Real Estate Broker by the State of California (hereafter referred to as Servicer),
and the Lender or Lenders whose signatures appears below and in counterparts to this Agreement, (together, hereafter referred to as Client), who is the
lender, originator, owner, owner of an interest therein, holder or transferee of certain promissory notes (the Notes) secured by Deeds of Trust (the
Deeds of Trust), mortgages (the Mortgages), or other instruments (Instruments, with Deeds of Trust and Mortgages, each, a Security Instrument),
including the loan account number and borrower referenced above and/or referenced in attached Lender Statements listing borrowers, if more than one
loan, for its own account or private and institutional investors or lenders (the Lenders) and is licensed as a mortgage broker or other entity, license
number _____________ or is exempt from licensure. Servicer may have additional agreements including sub servicing or fee arrangements with brokers
(Brokers) or other entities related to the Notes and Deeds of Trust, Mortgages or Instruments comprising the loans (the Loans) subject to this
Agreement, but, as expressly set forth herein, any such agreements will have no impact on any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement with Client.
Client hereby authorizes and instructs Servicer and Servicer agrees to service the Notes and Deeds of Trust, Mortgages or Instruments and in that
connection, to do the following:
1.0
Scope. Client retains Servicer as Clients agent to employ commercially reasonable and prudent practices to collect all scheduled payments on
all Loans subject to this Agreement including the enforcement of specific Lenders rights of processing demands, processing or coordinating foreclosures,
and prepare, execute and record reconveyances/releases and Substitution of Trustee on behalf of Client. Client must supply to Servicer all available
relevant documents of the Loan file including, but not limited to Notes, Deed/Mortgages, Modification Agreements, Forbearance Agreements,
Assignments or any other document effecting condition of title or payment distribution and showing the correct Beneficiary, needed by Servicer to
complete its tasks, including but not limited to, file setup, servicing functions, and to satisfy regulatory requirements, before servicing functions will be
performed, continued, or funds distributed. Upon any occurrence that could impact servicing functions, including but not limited to, Assignment of
Beneficial Interest, modification of Loan terms, Client must notify Servicer immediately of such occurrence and provide copies of relevant documents
before servicing functions will be performed, continued, or funds distributed. Servicer shall follow instructions from Client if Client is majority owner of
Loans, and/or from originating Broker in accordance with a Master Servicing Agreement with such originating Broker, unless directed in writing or by
email by Client otherwise. If the Loan is owned by multiple Lenders (a Multi-Lender Loan), Servicer shall attempt to consult with all Lenders but shall
follow instructions from the Majority. A Majority is determined by 51% or more ownership of the Note. A default upon any interest in the Note shall
constitute a default upon all interests. The Majority may determine and direct the actions to be taken on behalf of all Lenders in the event of default or
with respect to other matters requiring the direction or approval of Lenders, including but not limited to, designation of Brokers, servicing agents or
others acting on their behalf and the sale, encumbrance or lease of any real or personal properties which may be owned by Lenders as the result of
foreclosure or receipt of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or modification or forbearance of the Loans. Servicer shall consult with Client, Majority, and/or
originating Broker, as the case may be, on non-routine collection matters. Servicer shall not, however, enter into any modification or forbearance of the
Loans with any borrower without the express written permission of the Lenders (or a Majority of Lenders in a Multi-Lender Loan).
1.1
Analyzed Trust Account Disclosure. Client authorizes Servicer to deposit all funds received in connection with this Agreement into an
analyzed trust account at an FDIC insured bank. The analyzed trust account accrues credits that are used to offset bank service charges assessed to
Servicer, which provides a financial benefit to Servicer. Any unused credits not used to offset bank service charges will not benefit Client in any manner.
1.2
Duties and Responsibilities. All of Servicers duties are specified within this Agreement. If the duty is not specifically addressed within
this Agreement, Servicer has not undertaken the particular duty. Duties and functions not specified in this Agreement are the responsibility of the
Client.
2.0
Term and Termination. This Agreement shall begin on the date set forth above. The appointment of Servicer as Servicing Agent hereunder
shall continue until each Loan is paid in full, servicing is transferred, or 30 days after either party to this Agreement gives written notice or email notice to
the other of its intent to terminate this Agreement. On an individual Loan basis, this Agreement shall terminate as to that Loan when any of these events
occur: (a) payment in full of the Loan and reconveyance of the related Security Instrument securing the related Loan; (b) 30 days written notice by
Servicer to Client; (c) 30 days written notice by Client to Servicer (unless a shorter period of time is permitted under certain circumstances as provided in
this Agreement or applicable law), or (d) recordation of a Trustees Deed or Sheriffs Deed following a foreclosure of the Loan. All rights and authority
under this Agreement shall continue upon written authorization by the Client for Servicer to handle the property management and property liquidation
resulting from foreclosure.

2.1
Upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety or as to any one Loan, Servicer shall deliver to Client all of Clients funds, an appropriate
accounting and all necessary documentation. At termination of all Loans or a terminated Loan, Client shall reimburse Servicer for any outstanding
advances made pursuant to paragraph 4.0 within twenty (20) days upon written demand by Servicer to Client.
2.2
If Client terminates or transfers servicing on any of the Loans subject to this Agreement to another party or servicer other than Servicer, Client
must first pay in full all servicing and related fees due Servicer and a $75 per Loan servicing termination and transfer fee, then Servicer will create and
send the corresponding RESPA goodbye letters, Master Reports, and transfer relevant escrow/impound amounts. Unless waived by Servicer, Client
must provide proof of proper registration/licensing of new servicer before Loans will be transferred. Additional requests may be subject to customary
and reasonable additional charges. If any Loan being serviced by Servicer is government regulated, such as an existing HAMP loan, then Servicer will
only transfer beneficial interest in the Loan and/or servicing to a Lender and/or servicer meeting the regulatory requirements. Servicers compensation in
any area is subject to change upon 30 days written notice to Client; Client may avoid changes by terminating this Agreement in writing at any time during
said 30 day period, and Client shall not be liable for the foregoing transfer fee. Invoices to Client for services provided by Servicer, or arranged
through Servicer, are due upon receipt and payable within 20 days, after which time they will be considered delinquent and subject to a 10%
past due charge; provided, however, that if Client disputes any amounts reflected in such invoices, Client and Servicer agree to work
together in good faith to resolve such disputes. If Clients account becomes delinquent, all activities of Servicer on behalf of Client may
cease.
2.3
Servicers Right of Interpretation. In accordance with various and changing State and/or Federal Laws, State and/or Federal Case Law, and
Servicers interpretation of such laws, proper procedures and risks, Servicer reserves the right to: (a) determine how advances and/or late charges are
assessed and to adjust all unpaid late charges or assessments of late charges accordingly; (b) apply the default interest rate only after the foreclosure has
been recorded on owner occupied Loans, and apply the default interest rate normally after the foreclosure has been recorded on non owner occupied
Loans; or (c) determine the interpretation and application of other terms and conditions of the Note. By continuing to hire Servicer to service the Loan,
Client agrees that Servicer may decline to enforce certain provisions of the Note as noted above. By declining enforcement of certain provisions,
Servicer may effectively waive those provisions on behalf of Client. Client agrees to such waiver by continual hire of Servicer and shall have no cause of
action against Servicer due to Servicers determination not to act in accordance with this section.
If Servicer determines that a Loan is predatory in nature, or the Loan does not comply with federal or state requirements, or at any time during servicing
of the Loan becomes predatory in nature or does not comply with federal or state requirements, Servicer can refuse to accept the Loan for servicing or can
cancel any existing servicing or functions by Servicer related to the Loan as provided above by giving thirty (30) day's written notice. Servicer reserves
the right not to pursue or continue any foreclosure on any asset it services if Servicer reasonably believes that foreclosure, or the terms and conditions
provided or established by Client, will violate state or federal law or company policy.
2.4
Fund Accounts. Servicer shall not: (a) commingle Servicers assets with Lenders or Borrowers payments. All Lender and Borrower funds
will be held in a segregated, monthly reconciled, quarterly audited, non-interest bearing trust account.
2.5
Servicer Notices and Audit. Servicer as servicing agent for notes or interest sold pursuant to California Business and Professions Code
10238, upon which payments due during any period of three consecutive months in the aggregate exceed one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars
($125,000) or the number of persons entitled to the payments exceeds 120, Servicer shall file the notice required by subdivision (a) with the
commissioner within 30 days after becoming the servicing agent. Said Servicer is required to have all trust accounts audited by a CPA and those results
forwarded to the California Department of Real Estate.
3.0
Loan Documents. Client or its custodian shall retain custody of the original Note and Deed of Trust or Mortgage for the Loans (or assignment
thereof), unless Servicer is specifically authorized by Client and agrees to retain such documentation. If Servicer is to maintain custody of the original
Note and Security Instruments for the Loans (or assignment thereof), there will be an additional housing fee of $250 per Loan per year.
4.0
Protective Advances. Client or Lender may make such advances as approved by the Majority or, if Client is the only owner of the Loans,
such advances that are necessary and prudent to protect and to collect Clients interest in the Loans. If the Loan is a Multi-Lender Loan, and Client fails
to make advances approved by the Majority, other owners of the Loan are authorized to advance the amount Client failed to advance and to receive
payment in full before any further payments to Client. Client must immediately notify Servicer in writing or by email of any such advances. As a normal
course of business, Servicer will not advance any funds on Clients behalf and Servicer hereby agrees to and shall obtain Clients prior written or emailed
approval before incurring any financial obligations on behalf of Client.
5.0
DELINQUENT LOAN PROGRAM Specific Functions. Servicer shall in accordance with industry standards and applicable laws, rules and
regulations: (a) issue monthly statements to the borrower on each Loan directing Loan repayment to Servicer; (b) issue Late Notices calculating in any

have been made), skip trace, letters of understanding, facilitate loan modification agreements at direction of Lender, facilitate forbearance agreements at

attempt at least once to contact borrower at any of the phone numbers in Servicer's file if Loan is over 15 days delinquent (unless satisfactory
arrangements have been made). Loans under the Performing Loan program that do not make payments for 2 months will automatically be switched to

9.0
Optional ESCROW/IMPOUNDS SERVICE. To the extent required by the Loan documents, Servicer can provide the following property
insurance and property tax service for first position Loans for $15 per Loan per month. This fee will be added to the monthly loan servicing fee and
prorated to the respective Lenders.
If this optional service is requested in writing or by email by Client and accepted in writing or by email by Servicer, and if all required information is
supplied per the FCI Loan Servicing Checklist, and associated fees are paid, when the borrowers monthly payment includes amounts for the
payment of insurance and/or property taxes, Servicer will collect and hold those proceeds in a trust account insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and disburse the scheduled payments to the respective authority as scheduled. Any funds remaining in the account after full repayment
of the Loan shall be released to the borrower. Client may direct Servicer, upon acceleration of the Loan due to default, in Clients sole subjective
discretion, subject to any applicable law, including RESPA which may prohibit such direction, how to apply the funds it receives toward reduction of
the amount owed under the Loan documents (applied to advances, principal, interest or other expenses, in the Servicers sole discretion), completion
of any work on the property securing the Loan, protection of the property or other purposes permitted by this Agreement, the Loan documents or law,
or any combination thereof. Servicer accepts no responsibility for the consequences of incorrect information supplied by Client or Lender. Servicer is
not responsible for the consequences of any non-payment of insurance or property taxes. If any interest on the balances aggregated is required by
applicable law to be paid to the borrower for impounding borrowers monies, Client will be responsible to pay such interest on demand by Servicer.
If a borrower's escrow funds are insufficient to pay insurance and/or property taxes, Client shall immediately advance to Servicer's escrow account
funds sufficient to cover the shortage; Client's failure to do so may jeopardize Client's lien position due to the failure of insurance and/or property
taxes, and Servicer accepts no responsibility for Client's failure to make such an advance provided such failure was not the result of an act or
omission of Servicer or its agents, employees or vendors. Whenever possible, Client's advance will be recovered from borrower's subsequent
payments into escrow for insurance and/or property taxes proceeds.
9.1
Insurance and Taxes. If the borrowers monthly payment does not include amounts for the payment of insurance and/or property taxes, it
is the responsibility of the Client to: a) verify insurance coverage annually and send copies of insurance coverage to the Servicer, however Servicer
is not responsible for the consequences of any non-payment of insurance; b) check for payment of taxes annually or use a Tax Service; Servicer may
receive notices of property tax delinquencies and notify Client of any known non payment of taxes if Client has signed up for a Tax Service and
listed Client and Servicer for notices of non payment of taxes, however Servicer is not responsible for the consequences of any non payment of taxes.
Servicer accepts no responsibility for the consequences of incorrect information supplied by Client.
9.2
Optional REO MANAGEMENT & SALES SERVICE. Servicer can provide REO management and sales service for most properties for an
industry standard 6% listing per property with a $3000 minimum and a $95 per month management fee. Certain properties deemed by Servicer as not
fitting the norm may be negotiated separately with Client, and acceptance of any order is at the sole discretion of Servicer. Client must request this service
in writing or by email per property and return a signed REO Servicing Authorization form to be supplied by Servicer. There is a $750 deposit (the
Deposit) required with each REO order unless Client maintains a reserve account with Servicer. There is a cancellation fee, and possibly additional fees
from a selected field services vendor, separately disclosed in Servicer's Authorization to Market REO agreement, and possible expenses that will be
applied against the Deposit if the order is cancelled after submission to Servicer and before the end of the listing period, unless there is gross negligence
on the part of the listing agent or Servicer, with any balance being refunded to Client within 25 days of file closing. If the property is sold and finalized,
the Deposit will be credited against fees due. If the listing expires without sale, the Deposit will be refunded within 25 days of listing expiration date.
10.0
No Additional Obligations of Servicer. Client acknowledges that Servicer has no obligation, other than described elsewhere in this
Agreement, to make any payment (other than the forwarding of a borrowers payment) to or on behalf of Client, to senior liens or to otherwise protect
or enforce the Clients security or rights hereunder. In the event any payment collected for the benefit of Client is returned NSF or uncollectible in
Servicers Trust Account, Client will immediately upon notification from Servicer, return Servicers uncashed Trust Check, or immediately reimburse
Servicers Trust Account the full amount received from Servicers Trust Check. In no event is Servicer obligated to cover or make good Borrowers
shortages in Servicers Trust Account. Servicer is hereby authorized to place a Stop Payment on Clients Trust Check from Servicer, or reverse any
ACH (Electronic Funds Transfer) whenever the representing funds are returned NSF or uncollectible in Servicers Trust Account. Servicer may
deduct such amounts from any proceeds due Lenders. Servicer is not liable for any losses related to Loan adjustments from variable rate, HELOC, or
other similar type Loans , or changes in Loan terms due to modification, unless notified in writing by the Client or Lender of the adjustment.
Changes shall become effective no sooner than two weeks after this notification is received by Servicer. Servicer does not offer senior lien monitoring,
but can refer Client to an independent service provider. Client is responsible on junior liens for verifying insurance coverage and tax payments with
senior liens. It is the responsibility of the Client to track maturity dates and, if desired, request Servicer to prepare a Maturity Notice to the Borrower for a
fee. It is the responsibility of the Client or Lender to periodically monitor Loan Data, Borrower payments and servicing activity by using the
Servicers web Customer Login at www.trustfci.com, or by reading the monthly report sent by Servicer. If Client requires or requests additional
reporting beyond what is provided by Servicer using its standard reporting and web login, there will be additional reasonable charges for setup,
custom report templates, programming, maintenance, and regular distribution of such information.
11.0

directors, parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses,
damage, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, sustained or incurred by Client by reason

outside the scope of its authority and/or (b) taking any action, or refraining from taking any action, with respect to any Loan or property, by Servicer,
