[GPSCC-chat] Hearing Friday, 31 August, 11 AM, Dept. 6, 191 N. First St., San José, CA

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       Thanks again for those who came to the hearing August 17 in 
Merritt v. Mozilo 
(http://occupy.pbworks.com/w/page/57677826/Merritt%20v%20Countrywide). 
David Merritt felt it had a measurable impact on the mood of the court.


       The next hearing in Merritt v. Mozilo is tomorrow, Friday, 31 
August 2012, at 11 AM in Dept. 6, Judge Mary Arand, Santa Clara County 
Superior Court, 191 N. First St., San José, CA.  This will be a hearing 
regarding an appraiser, John Benson, who allegedly conspired with 
representatives of Countrywide to inflate the value of the property to 
push the Merritts to accept a purchase price 10 percent above market 
value.  On 16 February 2012, the Merritts were awarded a $1.8 million 
default judgment, because Benson failed to respond to a summons.  Since 
then, Benson hired an attorney and got a reversal, so the Merritts 
currently owe Benson $4,000 for attorney's fees.  This hearing will 
consider a motion by the Merritts to reverse that reversal.

        This hearing will be in the new court house building, north of 
the old courthouse building, site of the August 17 hearing.


       We hope many of you can make this hearing, also.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer
