Following
is a brief description of what John Sellers has been dealing with. This contains excellent best practices to deal
with HOA Industry attorneys:
A petition we brought
before the OAH was recently vacated by the Administrative Law Judge for
”mootness”. We appealed, filed an ethics complaint against the judge, and did a
public records search of DFBLS and the OAH. We received an excellent response
and so have 5 CDs of emails and records containing every electronic move they
made, including the judge’s emails, which I doubt he thought would ever see the
light of day. I’m able to figure out when they took lunch at the OAH, including
food recipes, because of the embedded Metadata. I’m not making that up because
I like to joke that Google knows, not just where you are, but whether you’re
standing up or sitting down in the bathroom…sorry for the French but I’m
fluent, or was in Paris.
Whatever happened, DFBLS
granted our appeal and reverted the case back to the Judge who asked for briefs
from us, with a May 10 deadline, as to why our case was not moot. Our response
brief is included in the 4th attachment – “Fax Package to Bolen
Esq. May 11, 2016”.
I hope it’s clear. An
answering brief from Bolen at Carpenter Hazelwood is due within ten days.
Carpenter Hazelwood
objected to us faxing all 749 pages of the 100 appendices to our brief. We
don’t do – “he said – she said”, And we keep all records electronically The So
the garbage below is them objecting to that.
What I enjoyed was the
flattery where, Mr. Bolen, the litigation partner for CH, accused me below of
being “smart”. I try keep track of all the people I
know who I think are smarter than me. It’s tough for me, because it’s a long
list, but for Mr. Bolen to do that, he would need a high speed abacus and very
fast fingers being blessed, like a lot of so called “CAI HOA attorneys”, with a
room temperature IQ(centigrade).
I hope to post this more
succinctly and coherently on the blog at www.arizonahoa.blogspot.com
But I have to fit my yoga
in as well and there’s only so many hours in the day. Wish us luck with the
judge.

Subject: RE: Package 12 Appendices to Mootness Memorandum May 190, 2016
Mr. Bolen
1. Mr. Ekmark advertises you as the “largest HOA firm in the
world”. See attached. I sent the faxes via your branches because, before midnight
on May 10, the Judge's response deadline, I was unable to receive fax
confirmations from the two fax email services that the full 12 package
transmission of Appendices was complete to you. Once the first 10 packages went
through, something seems to have gone wrong with your 7040 number. So I faxed
to Tucson, Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Utah. I've yet to check, but I think you
actually received Package 12 containing 155 pages about 1:00 this morning,
after I offered to send it last night, one more time, from my other fax
service.
2. Please check out Myfax.com and Onlinefaxes.com. These are not
“fly by night” operations.
3. So now, on your terms, you should have received 43+1+4 =48
faxes. I look forward to copies of your fax reports confirming page receipts.
4. If I use faxes, I get definitive confirmation, as you will see,
of receipt. Remember you and Amcor denied receiving my fax of Feb 2, 2016. Yet
I have the fax confirmation. See attached. Please ensure that you respond to
that in your response to Judge Shedden because I was denied access to the
records as a consequence, again. We believe someone lied there, as Metadata
doesn't.
5. Please also somehow respond to my email attached of April 25.
Can I assume you got it? Kindly confirm
6. As to the Association and Amcor, the documented evidence in our
Mootness memorandum shows they lie on a regular basis. They want paper only, as
they insist they do not keep electronic records. How do you communicate with
them? We believe the Metadata we seek will prove that conclusively. Again, we
fax Amcor so we have documented proof of receipt, and we have it. See attached.
We frankly don’t trust you either so – just the documented facts Your Honor -
no “he said – she said”.
7. Again, you were offered Dropbox type access via SharePoint, on
your iPhone, to sort, collate, comment, annotate from memory about 200Mb of PDF
Files. You never accessed it.
8. Thank you for the compliment. Praise gratefully accepted. Do you
have any suggestions for that new “hobby” you suggested. Not being in Prescott
anymore, we’re not affiliated with Big Brothers and Sisters any more, at least
officially.
9. Please express my appreciation for Ms. Gines’ early morning
efforts in your Utah branch. She tried, but seems to have had the same
problem re-transmitting faxes to you as I had.
10. Some of the transmissions were interrupted so may not be
complete. Unless advised by you promptly, I’m going to assume you have exactly
what ALJ Shedden has. Mootness Memorandum plus list of 100 Appendices attached
again, plus 100 Appendices A01 to N-13. I have no confirmation you received
that so here it is again. For your convenience, I Bates numbered all the
Appendices, and you should have 749 pages. Hope that helps.
If not – ADVISE SOONEST – please!
11. If you are so keen on email, why did you not email me the 3-page
response to the DFBLS which only arrived in the post yesterday. How did you
“file” it with DFBLS?
Thank/Regards
John Sellers

Why are you faxing
things to my Tucson and Utah offices to begin with? To harass and bog
down this firm is the only thing that I can think of. You are a “smart” man and you know what you are
doing.
I received package 12
yesterday at 10:18 a.m., 10:19 a.m. 10:24 a.m. and 10:37 a.m.
I also received
package 5 seven times.

I look forward to your
response on more than just FAXES.
Your response should include some FACTS. You may also fax that to me if you wish. In fact that would be my preference. The Association insists on paper. You got paper. I've also NEVER encountered ANY law firm which claims to be the largest in the world, of any type, that EVER fails a fax receive.
You will recall I offered you FREE electronic access via SharePoint with a click, even from your iPhone, to documents previously, and you never took me up. At all.
As you had "43"
faxes last night, I presume that's not now 44, and that you did NOT
receive the copy of Package 12 by fax I re-sent last night. It also appears
from their email, that your office in Utah is unable to even SEND a fax to
you, after MULTIPLE attempts by THEM.
It's important you confirm receipt of Package 12. HAVE YOU RECEIVED PACKAGE 12?

John Sellers - We
received 3 faxes yesterday regarding the above requesting us to forward to Mr.
Bolen in Arizona. I tried several times to do so; however, our
copier/fax/scanner machine malfunctioned each time. I’m sorry I was
unable to help you. Please fax these documents directly to Mr.
Bolen. Kris Gines

Subject: RE: Package 12 Appendices
Mr. Bolen
Yet another copy of
Appendix Package 12 will be sent to you tonight by fax. Hopefully this one goes
through. Your fax machine appears to be blocking our professional fax
server, plus the return messages we are getting from them seem to suggest fax
delivery is being “interrupted”. It’s an important set of Appendices so please
study it carefully.
As you seem to feel you
have received so many faxes, I will only send one copy. To do otherwise would
be harassment on our part.
As you will see from a
careful reading of my Fax earlier attached, Amcor have already received a copy
of Package 12, in their capacity as Statutory Agent. We sent that to them in
desperation because your fax machine seemed to be having some problems of
various types. I will not speculate what those might be. The receipt is below.
So if our fax does not go through, please get a copy from them. I’ve copied
Amcor on this so I’m sure they could provide you a copy
But we will try again,
once, but only once.
Our purpose here is to
ensure you cannot at some future date claim you did not receive everything the
ALJ has. He received a backup flash drive today and to our knowledge, he has
everything.
Should you decide we
missed something he received, I don’t think we did, kindly advise because we
will go to great lengths to deny you the excuse you were denied anything.
I would remind you that
the Association prefers paper records, as does Amcor, so we are simply trying
to be accommodating. That’s their choice not ours
Again, do not hesitate to contact us if you lack any of the
Appendices detailed in the list of Appendices I know you received via the OAH
portal
Regards
John Sellers
