Kevin H. Spikes, Esq., Partner to the Firm of Thomas & Spikes, Esqs. an attorney duly
admitted to practice law before the courts of the State of New York do hereby affirm the
following under penalties of perjury.
1. I submit this affirmation in support of the defendant Sherrel Farnsworth's Order to
Show Cause seeking to vacate the default judgment and judgment of foreclosure and sale the
court granted against her to the plaintiffs and staying the imminent auction of the property.
Defendant seeks the reliefs on grounds that sufficient reasons exist for the vacatur of the defaults

in the interest of justice pursuant to the court's holding in Ladd v. Stevenson 112 N.Y 325 and or
pursuant to CPLR 5015 (3) for the plaintiff's procurêñient of a judgment through
misrepresentation of facts and or under CPLR 5015 a, given the existence of reasonable excuses
for the default judgment and the judgment of foreclosure and sale.
2. The defendant has received no notice of sale of the property but has heard from
investors that an auction is scheduled to sell the property on June 14, 2018. This case is an ECF
case and no notice of sale is posted on ECF. The property is in a prime location here in
Brooklyn and we are concerned that itmight be auctioned off without notice to defendant Sherrel
Farnsworth. The defendants also seek a consolidation of this foreclosure case and the ongoing
partition action for judicial economy and to facilitate a resolution of this case on the merit. See
the support A - judgment of foreclosure and Exhibit B- Default Judgment.
following Exhibits;
3 Ms. Farnsworth purchased the property which is being foreclosed upon in the year
2000. See Exhibit C- deed to the property. She invested a substandal amount of in
money
purchasing and renovating the property. Defendant Mckenzie was not part of the purchase of the
property or the first loan. He assisted her to refinance the loan in 2001. As a consideration, he
was given one percent of the property and the Ms. Farnsworth retained 99 percent of the
property.
4. Both defendants had their signatures on the note and the mortgage. Contractually, Ms.
Farnsworth had an interest in the note and the bank formatted the transaction accordingly.

were aware that she will be paying for the mortgage starting from the time the loan documents
were executed and she made the mortgage payments. It was understood by both borrowers that
her signature on the note and mortgage as Mckenzie's attorney in fact and her signature on the
mortgage for herself will ensure that Ms. Farnsworth's interest in the note is preserved and
reflected. A copy of the note and mortgage, with the signatures are annexed as Exhibit D.
5. Although Peter and Sherrel had disagrccments over the value of Peter's one percent interest,
at this time Peter wants the bank to allow Sherrel to modify the loan. Sherrel found employment
soon after she lost her job in 2014. She has been working since then and can make the mortgage
payments. She has not been able to apply for modification because the bank has not given her a
chance to do so. They insist that her name is not on the note, estoppel disallows them from taking
this position.
6. A partition action commenced by Ms. Farnsworth in 2015 is at a trialstage. A prior Partition
action was commenced on the property by Mr. Mckenzie and that action was dismissed for non
appearance. Mr. Mckenzie filed to vacate the judgmeñt of dismissal three years after the
dismissal. For merit, he provided the court with handwritten statements and showed no receipts
for his damages and the court found that his three years delay in vacating the judgment was
unreasonable and that the fact he did not substantiate his damages with any kind of receipt
showed that his case had no merit. The court's decision denying the Order to Show Cause is
annexed as Exhibit E. Sherrel offered to pay Mr. Mckenzie 140,000 dollars for his one percent
interest in the property and he refused to take it.Sherrel has lived at the property for fifteen years
and wants to keep her house. Mr. Mckenzie wants the house sold.

7. Plaintiff's default judgments and judgment of foreclosure and sale were granted on default
on grounds of defendant's failure to file opposition papers to the motions. The default judgment
is annexed as Exhibit A and the judgment of foreclosure and sale is annexed as Exhibit B. The
default was caused by an attorney with our firm who we assigned to handle the case. He left the
Firm without leaving us hand over notes. We found the file just recently in a closed filecabinet.
We were unaware that he did not know prepare and file the answer. Neither were we aware that
a default judgmeñt was entered against defendant Sherrel Farnsworth for defaulting.
8. We had no intentions of abandoning the case and appeared on several modification
conferences. And only became aware of the default judgment and the failure to filean answer
not long ago. By the time we noticed the default, defeñdaat McKenzie had already consented to a
judgmeñt of foreclosure and sale. The notice of entry of the judgment of foreclosure and sale was

entered on the day of May 2018.
9. No modification package was submitted on behalf of defendant Sherrel on grounds thatthe
bank insisted that her name is not on the note and that she could not apply for a modification of
the loan.

10. Law Office failure, of the sort relayed here constitutes an excusable default. Secondly,
Sherrel Famsworth has a meritorious defense as can be seen by her affidavit in support, this
affirmation and her annexed proposed answer to the complaint.
11. Stating briefly, she is a homeowner in a residential foreclosure proceeding and although her
name is not on the note, the bank has received mortgage payments from her from the day the
loan documents were executed. Additionally, the broker and bank staff on the loan offered to
structure the loan where her interest in the note will not be lost.Consequently, she was instructed
to sign as attorney in fact on both the note and the mortgage and to sign for herself on the
mortgage. Clearly, the bank is estopped from stating that she had no interest in the note.
12. A robo-signer executed the assigareeñts in this foreclosure case, hence this home owner
was a victim of the illegal lending and foreclosure initiation practices homeowners all over the
US faced. The government attempted to redress those wrongs and or mitigate the loss through
regulations and government programs. Ms. Farnsworth was deprived from benefitting from those
regulations and programs by the conducts of the bank and Mr. McKenzie. She has invested
substantially into the property and actually spent all her inheritance money from her father to
renovate the property. Additionally the current value of the house is 1. 5 million and the debt
owed is about $500,000. Her mortgage payments built up equity in the property.
13. New York State courts generally lean towards an approach which emphasizes
liberality
and extension of courtesies in the handling law office defaults. In a case with similar facts,New

17. Their will be no prejudice on the bank. Given the fact that they initiated the foreclosure case
and are sufficiently acquainted with the facts of the case to know that defendant Sherrel has
meritorious defenses to the lawsuit. They are also aware that default judgment from the seeming
failure to file an answer was going to amount to a windfall for them and not justice.
18. Asst!ming argueñdo without conceding that the defendant has no reasonable excuse for the
default, ifthe court so opines, vacatur of a default can be achieved absent a reasonable excuse for
a default where unique circumstances warranting a vacatur exists. The unique circumstance
though must constitute sufficient reasons for vacatur in the interest of justice pursuant to court
opinions in 1.add v. Stevenson 112 NY 325, Katz v. Marra 74 Ad 3d 888 2010 and Woodson v.
Mendon Leasing Corporation 100 NY 2d 62 2003. The rationale here stems from the fact that a
court has an inherent power, unlimited by statute to open up itsjtidgment for sufficient reasons,
in the interest ofjustice.
19. Unique circumstances waiiañtiñg vacatur was found and a default judgment was vacated

court opined that the fact that the defendants were not in default was sufficient reason, in the
interest of justice to vacate the defaults and set aside the foreclosure sale of the property.
20. Finding unique circumstances warranting vacation of the court order in Soggs v. Crocco 247
Ad 2d 887, 888 1988, appellate court second division reversed the Supreme Court's order for
specific performance without reaching to the provisions of CPLR 5015 codified list.The parties
in Soggs v. Crocco agreed that the Plaintiff would compensate defendant for her 46 percent
interest share at a price approved by the FCC. FCC failed to approve a price making it
impossible for the plaintiff to fulfillthe obligation. The defendant moved the court for specific

21. The foundational case of Ladd v. Stevenson 112 NY 325 is another illustrative one. When
he was alive, Mr. Stevenson of Ladd v. Stevenson 112 NY 325 gave a couple Mr. and Mrs.
Goetlets a bond of indemnity and covenants in his deed to a property. Plaintiff, Ladd sued and

defend the case. The trial court vacated the judgment to allow them in. At the time of this
appeal, the statute for vacatur (Code 742) the equivalent of the current CPLR 5015 did not list
that a judgment could be vacated on this ground. The appellate court however found sufficient
reason in the interest of justice to affirm the vacatur.
22. To vacate the judgments under CPLR 5015 A, defendant Sherrel Farnsworth also has to
demonstrate that she has a meritorious case. Regarding merit for purposes of vacatur under
CPLR 5015 (A), itis noteworthy that the bank erred in not allowing Ms. Farnsworth apply for a
modification of the loan given the fact that they accepted payments from her from the time she
bought the house. They knew she was going to be making the mortgage payments. They advised
the parties to deed one percent of the value of the property to Peter for consideration. They also
advised the parties to have Sherrel sign the note and the mortgage as attorney in fact for Peter
and to sign the mortgage. Cumulatively, these were acts that were undertaken to ensure that
Sherrel's interest in the note and mortgage was preserved.
