Tabatabai is T-a-b-a-t-a-b-a-i. Also present on his
behalf is co-counsel, Tanzeel Hak. Tanzeel is
T-a-n-z-e-e-1, Hak is H-a-k. Mr. Tabatabai is joining
us by audio on the Zoom meeting.
THE COURT: All right. At this time, we have a
resolution of a number of issues which will include the
dissolution at this time.
Jeanne Turner Tabatabai and Sean Tabatabai, if
you'll raise your right hands and be sworn.
Is the testimony that you are about to give
this Court the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth.
THE RESPONDENT: Yes.
THE PETITIONER: Yes.
THE COURT: Okay. Both have answered in the
affirmative. Jeanne Turner Tabatabai, you filed this
petition to dissolve your marriage to Sean Tabatabai.
At the time you filed your petition, had you been a
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767Page 4
1 residence of the State of California for at least six
2 months?
3 THE PETITIONER: Yes.
4 THE COURT: And a resident of the county of
5 Santa Cruz for at least three months?
6 THE PETITIONER: Yes.
7 THE COURT: Do both of you agree that
8 irreconcilable differences have arisen in your marriage
9 such that you can no longer remain married at this time?
10 THE PETITIONER: Yes.
11 THE RESPONDENT: Yes.
12 THE COURT: Both have answered in the
13 affirmative. Preliminary declarations and final
14 declarations of disclosure have been filed. The Court
15 finds irreconcilable difference have, in fact, arisen by
16 the admissions of both parties.
17 The custody and visitation issues of the three
18 children are -- will be pursuant to the stipulation that
19 was filed on January 22nd, 2021, as well as the
20 July 29th, 2016, memorandum of understanding which
21 awards them joint legal custody of the three minor
22 children. And, of course, the January 22nd, 2021, and
23 July 29, 2016, agreements outline visitation and
24 physical custody of the children.
25 The Court, as is noted, reserves child support
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
¢a876016-65¢1-4622-bb0T-desbc1e2031Page 5
1 Pursuant to the Family Code. The Court notes this is a
2 long-term marriage under Family Code Section 4336
3 subsection (b), and at the time -- for the time being
4 reserves the issue of spousal support under Family Code
5 Section 4320.
6 The parties are ordered to maintain health
i insurance for the children at reasonable cost. Any
8 unreimbursed medical expenses are evenly divided among
9 the parties. That is a standard order. And the issues
10 that we have been working on today involve the division
11 of property, and I have the corrected version.
12 Would -- counsel, would you like me to read the
13 terms of it that I just printed out?
14 MR. RUBEN: Agreeable.
15 THE COURT: Okay. With respect to the property
16 located at 331 Soquel Avenue in city of Santa Cruz, that
17 property is confirmed to Respondent Sean Tabatabai with
18 the agreed-upon value of $3.725 million. Jeanne Turner
19 Tabatabai will be taken off the title and the loan.
20 Sean Tabatabai must secure his own loan within six
21 months or on the open market to satisfy and reserve all
22 other issues.
23 If you could clarify that a little more,
24 Mr. Ruben.
25 MR. RUBEN: Your Honor, if it's okay with the
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
‘caST6b1d-d6dt-4622 -oot-dedbic tale)Page 6
1 Court, if I could read these in. There's some --
2 there's some shorthand that I've been using in all of
3 this. Would that be agreeable?
4 THE COURT: Yes. Before you do that, real
5 quick, I forgot one last thing. Yes. Before we go back
6 into the property, and you'll do that, the Petitioner's
7 former name is restored by this order, Jeanne Turner.
8 MR. KREPELKA: Thank you, Your Honor.
9 MR. RUBEN: Thank you, Judge.
10 THE COURT: All right. Mr. Ruben, go ahead
11 because you're right. There was shorthand.
12 MR. RUBEN: Regarding the property at 331
13 Soquel, that will be confirmed to Respondent Sean
14 Tabatabai at a agreed-upon value of 3,725,000. He is to
15 secure his own loan and remove Jeanne Turner from title
16 and the loan within six months, or the property will be
17 sold on the open market to satisfy any monies owed as a
18 result of this being assigned to him.
19 We reserve on all other issues regarding that
20 property. In this case and as in the other terms that
21 are similar in this agreement, if Mr. Tabatabai is
22 unable to secure a new loan and remove Ms. Turner from
23 title within six months but can evidence efforts to do
24 the same, he will be extended another 60 days to do so.
25 Such efforts would be providing the loan applications,
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
(€2876D1d-dScl-4622-bO0t-dedhee 103031Page 7?
1 that type of thing.
2 Regarding the property on Viewpoint in Aptos,
3 this will be assigned to Jeanne Turner at an agreed-upon
4 value of $950,000. She will secure her own financing
5 and remove Sean Tabatabai from title, if necessary. She
6 must secure her own loan and perform those actions
7 within six months, or the property will be sold on the
8 open market to satisfy with the same provision that were
9 she able to and (inaudible) needing additional time, if
10 she's able to -- to evidence gocd efforts, she would be
11 given an additional 60 days.
12 Regarding the property on Jaunell, this will be
13 assigned to Petitioner Jeanne Turner at $1,800,000, and
14 she will secure her own loan and remove Sean Tabatabai
15 from title within six months, or the property will be
16 sold on the open market to satisfy any monies owed as a
17 result ever this assignment. However, if she's able to
18 evidence good -- good-faith efforts, that can be
19 extended by 60 days.
20 Regarding the business entity known as Envision
21 Media Nevada, as we have typically referred to it in
22 this case, it's assigned to Jeanne Turner. The
23. valuation is to be determined. For clarity as of today,
24 Jeanne Turner would be considered the 100 percent owner.
25 However, she does agree to hold Sean Tabatabai harmless
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
ca876b1d-dSdt-4622-bd0t-degdSc 1e3031Page 8
and indemnify him from any tax burden related to funds
pu
2 alleged to be received from Envision Media Nevada but
3 not actually received.
4 And she furthers agrees that she will either
5 pay the taxes associated with those funds or amend her
6 tax returns to effect the same for the period 2016
7 through 2019. She will do so as soon as reasonably
8 possible. She represents that 2020 taxes are unfiled,
9 and when they are filed, she will not allege income to
10 Sean Tabatabai. Further, the 2021 taxes will not
1l include Sean Tabatabai.
12 Regarding what we referred to as Enabledware,
13 all entities are confirmed or assigned to Sean
4 Tabatabai. This is including, but not limited to,
15 Enabledware Limited, Enabledware, LLC, and MediaHub.
16 For the clerk, Enabledware is spelled as one
17 words E-n-a-b-l-e-d-w-a-r-e.
18 For clarity, that assignment is:as of big Sean
19 Tabatabai, the owner 100 percent as, of: today.
20 The Court will retain jurisdiction over all
21 other issues and claims.
22 THE COURT: Is-that: correct, Mr. Krepelka?
23 MR. KREPELKA: Yes, Your Honor.
24 MS. HARRIS: Your Honor, I -- I just have to
25 clarify one thing that maybe is implied, but that is
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
‘caB7Eb1d-dScf4622-bd0l-deSb8c 1e3e31Page 9
that -- is that -- is Sean Tabatabai would not be
seeking any payment of distribution for any of the years
for which Ms. Turner will be paying the taxes. Is
that --
MR. RUBEN: I don't know how it answer that.
That issue's complicate.
THE COURT REPORTER: Can you tell me who said
that? I'm sorry. The female speaker.
MS. HARRIS: I'm sorry. Yes, that was Lesley
Harris.
THE COURT: Ms. Harris? Mr. Ruben?
MR. RUBEN: Yeah, that issue is complicated.
MR. KREPELKA: That answer makes me nervous.
MR. RUBEN: Well, it can make you nervous,
Travis. That's why you wanted to retain jurisdiction
over all other issues and claims, so that -- the answer
to that question is -- has -- has a number of
different --
THE COURT: I think that issue is reserved.
MR. KREPELKA: My understanding of the
settlement is that someone should not have to bear taxes
on income they did not receive.
THE COURT: That is correct.
MR. KREPELKA: That is what we are willing to
agree to.
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767Page 10
1 MR. RUBEN: Yes.
2 MR. KREPELKA: Okay.
3 MR. RUBEN: Agreed.
4 MR. KREPELKA: Agreed.
5 MR. RUBEN: Okay.
6 “MR. KREPELKA: Okay.
7 MR.,RUBEN: Actually, Madam Court Reporter, I
8 hope that it was clear that was Mr. Krepelka clarifying
9 his understanding that people would not have to pay
10 taxes on income not received. Correct, Mr. Krepelka?
ll MR. KREPELKA: Yes.
12 THE COURT: That was the agreement.
13 MR, RUBEN: I think we're done here, folks.
14 THE COURT: No. I'm going to take one last
15 thing here.
16 Okay. Jeanne Turner, you have read the terms
17 of this agreement and settlement. And I know that I --
18 I will attest by the time that you spent in the breakout
19 room since we have been in session that you had a
20 significant time to speak to your attorneys.
21 Do you understand the terms of the agreement?
22 THE PETITIONER: Yes. I guess my only
23 question, because it's hard to talk to the attorneys
24 right now since we're all here, is just -- I don't know
25 the tax burden at all. So is Sean going to have to
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767Page 11
disclose what the tax burden is that he says he has?
2 THE COURT: I think Mr. Ruben may be able to
3 answer that for us because I know that's something we
4 had talked about a lot. Mr. Ruben.
5 MR. RUBEN: Mr. Krepelka, correct me if you
6 believe I'm wrong or if you'd like to say something
7 different. What we're agreeing to today is that people
8 are not going to be responsible for taxes on income not
9 received. Were there to be any request for you to pay
10 the tax burden instead of amending those taxes, it would
tz be subject to documentary proof that your lawyer
12 approves of.
13 THE COURT: Correct.
14 MR. KREPELKA: Yeah. This is Travis Krepelka
15 speaking. I think the -- as soon as reasonably possible
16 is the right language, but also encompasses within it a
17 need for -- for Jeanne to acquire sufficient information
18 to be able to consult with her tax professionals as to
19 which election would be most beneficial to her and least
20 beneficial to the taxing agencies.
21 MR. RUBEN: And I would -- whether it's
22 necessary or not -- Jesse Ruben -- I would just
23 represent to Jeanne that nobody is going to ask you or
24 expect you to blindly agree to dollar figures. [It'll be
25 proved up, and Mr. Krepelka will agree, or we'll be back
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
caS76b1d-G5d1-4622-bO01-de98c e303Page 12
1 here.
2 THE COURT: Right, and that was part of it.
3 THE PETITIONER: So Sean will disclose
4 (inaudible) and everything so I'll understand what that
5 tax burden is?
6 MR. RUBEN: Previous to any request for money,
7 we will provide documentation.
8 THE COURT: Absolutely.
9 MR. RUBEN: All right. Previous was the wrong
10 word but --
11 THE COURT: Before, before. Okay.
12 THE PETITIONER: And then my only other
13 question was the (inaudible) of Envision
14 Media (inaudible) and so I just want to make sure that
15 the other one from my understanding is in default, but
16 I'd like Sean to make sure it's dissolved, and he will
17 never start another Envision Media company. Like, that
18 is -- part of what I'm buying is that entity, right?
19 MR. RUBEN: I -- I mean I think we are in
20 agreement with that, but I -- honestly, that might be a
21 Little too far today. If you want me to break with Sean
22 or if you want to better explain it, then I could break
23 with Sean.
24 THE PETITIONER: I don't think it's a big deal
25 that it's in default, but I want to make sure. Sean, is
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
‘cabTGb1d-d6ct4622-Ob0t-cedotcte3eltPage 13
1 that okay?
2 THE RESPONDENT: As long -- as long as you and
3 Robert relinquish the other Enabledware. |
a THE PETITIONER: I don't <= |
5 MR. KREPELKA: This is Travis.
6 MR. RUBEN: Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold
7 on. Hold on.
8 THE COURT: Time out. Time out, everyone.
3 MR. RUBEN: Mr. Tabatabai is concerned, as
10 everyone may remember, Mr. Lindell registered an
ll Enabledware. It is his contention, which is consistent
12 with the evidence received in this case, that that was
13 done in concert with Ms. Turner.
14 He would like for it to be represented by
15 Ms. Turner that she will make any effort to have
16 Mr. Lindell relinquish, as he said, the incorporation of
17 Enabledware, similar to her concern regarding Envision
18 Media and any --
19 THE PETITIONER: I don't have any control over
20 that, so you're right. Let's just bring -- let's just
21 assume that at this point I don't have control. I don't
22 talk to him. I don't -- you know, so I -- I'm just
23 hoping that Envision Media -- the whole idea is that
24 it's separate, so that's fine. So I -- I --
25 THE RESPONDENT: I'm hoping the same thing.
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
caS76D1d-dSdt-4622-bo0f-de9edctele31Page 14
a THE COURT: Ms. Turner and Mr. Tabatabai, I
2 think the two of you just put it very, very, very well.
3 Thank you.
4 MR. RUBEN: I would like to clarify one thing
5 because we do have a record here. The agreement is as
6 read into the record with the modification that any
7 request for tax payment will be accompanied with
8 documentation regarding the taxes alleged. All of
9 this -- all of this narrative back and forth over the
10 past few minutes does not make an agreement.
11 Agreed?
12 MR. KREPELKA: Yes. This is Travis Krepelka.
13 I agree.
14 MS. HARRIS: This is Lesley Harris. I agree,
15 but I don't want to forget that there's an election,
16 She has the right to make an election.
17 THE COURT: That's encompassed. That is
18 encompassed. Okay.
19 Any other questions, Ms. Turner?
20 THE PETITIONER: I think that was my main
21 question. Thank you.
22 THE COURT: And you have now demonstrated to
23 the Court that you definitely understand the terms very,
24 very well. Do you agree to be bound by the terms of
25 this agreement, Jeanne Turner?
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
caB76b1d-dbd1-4622-Dd01-deddBcte3e31Page 15
1 THE PETITIONER: Yes, I do. Thank you.
2 THE COURT: And do you request that the Court
3 maintain its jurisdiction to enforce the settlement
4 agreement under Code of Civil -- Code of Civil Procedure
5 Section 664.6 and Family Code Section 290?
6 THE PETITIONER: Yes. Thank you.
7 THE COURT: Thank you.

9 MR. KREPELKA: Yes, Your Honor.
10 THE COURT: Ms. Harris?
<7 MS. HARRIS: Yes.
12 THE COURT: Ms. Chayra?
13 MS. CHAYRA: Yes, Your Honor.
14 THE COURT: Sean Tabatabai, have you had
15 sufficient time to talk to your attorneys, Mr. Ruben and
16 Mr. Hak, about the agreement that's just been recited?
17 THE RESPONDENT: Yes, Your Honor.
18 THE COURT: Understand all the terms?
19 THE RESPONDENT: Yes, Your Honor.
20 THE COURT: Any other questions?
21 THE RESPONDENT: Not at this time, Your Honor.
22 THE COURT: Do you agree to be bound by the
23 terms of this agreement?
24 THE RESPONDENT: Yes, Your Honor.
25 THE COURT: And do you also ask the Court to
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
¢a87601d-dSdf-4622-Dd0f-dedb8cteJe3'Page 16
1 maintain its jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this
2 settlement agreement under Code of Civil Procedure
3 Section 664.6 and Family Code Section 290?
4 THE RESPONDENT: Yes, Your Honor.
5 THE COURT: Mr. Ruben, do you concur?
6 MR. RUBEN: I concur and would like to make a
7 brief point.
8 THE COURT: Which is?
9 MR. RUBEN: We've been doing this in excess of
10 four years. Everybody has two lawyers present. We have
11 financial forensics on staff. We've been doing this
12 since 1:30 this afternoon. Everybody knows very well
13. what they are doing today. If anyone disagrees that
14 they don't --
15 THE COURT: I'm going to make a finding in just
16 a moment --
17 MR. RUBEN: Thank you.
18 THE COURT: -- if you concur.
19 Mr. Hak, do you concur?
20 MR. HAK: Yes, Your Honor.
21 THE COURT: I find the parties have entered
22 into this agreement knowingly, intelligently, and
23 voluntarily with the advice of counsel. Find this
24 agreement to be voluntarily entered into and that both
25 parties have asked the Court to maintain its
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
¢a876D14-d5dt-4622-001-dedd8cte3e31Page 17
1 jurisdiction, and the Court will maintain its
2 jurisdiction to enforce this agreement as it was made on
3 the record before the Court today pursuant to Code of
4 Civil Procedure Section 664.6 and Family Code Section
5 290.
6 The Court will order that a judgment of
7 dissolution will be ordered at this time. Judgment of
8 dissolution is ordered subject to reservation of the
9 other issues.
10 Mr. Krepelka, I'm going to order Petitioner's
11 counsel to prepare the judgment, to submit it to
12 Mr. Ruben for approval as to form. With that, we can
13 vacate the further status conference that was set next
14 week and put this out about 90 days to complete the
15 judgment, which I'll go ahead and set this for further
16 status conference for completion of judgment on
17 August 3rd, 2021, at 8:30 in Department C. Once the
18 judgment is signed, the case can go off calendar.
19 MR. RUBEN: Very good.
20 MR. KREPELKA: Will do, Your Honor.
21 THE COURT: Yeah.
22 MR. RUBEN: Regarding that -- and I suspect
23 there may be agreement -- we do have quite a host of
24 issues that are unresolved. If we have not resolved
25 them by August, I would actually ask for a sooner date,
Creekside Court Reporting 831-426-5767
cas76b1d-d5d1-4622-Dd01-de9bSe 103031Page 18
1 and then at that date, if we have not resolved the
z issues, that the people submit papers when we identify
3 any remaining --
4 THE COURT: Sure. Well, when do you -- when
5 are you thinking about that, Mr. Ruben, because I don't
6 think it's going to take long to prepare a judgment, and
7s we sign them -- we sign them the same day we get them.
8 MR. RUBEN: How about -- I would suggest 60
a days. And if we don’t have a resolution to report on
10 the existing issues --
11 THE COURT: First week of July works for me.
12 6th, 7th, 8th.
13 MR. RUBEN: That's all fine with me.
14 MR. KREPELKA: Are those morning sessions?
15 THE COURT: They are, 8:30.
16 MR. KREPELKA: How about the 7th? Can we do
17 that?
18 THE COURT: Okay. On the 7th. Okay.
19 Mr. Krepelka, you'll prepare the judgment, and
20 Ms. Chayra and Ms. Harris, everybody's going to take a
21 look at it, Mr. Ruben and Mr. Hak.
22 Ms. Turner, Mr. Tabatabai, it's been a long
23 road. We made tremendous progress today and got quite a
24 bit of closure. I want to thank you both. Keep working
25 with your attorneys. Try to reach a resolution on these
