Filing # 185038178 E-Filed 10/30/2023 12:03:07 PM IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE ELEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF FLORIDA IN AND FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY CASE NO. 13-2021-CA-026327 FIRST FRANKLIN MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST, MORTGAGE LOAN ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATES, SERIES 2007-FFC, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS TRUSTEE, SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST TO BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., AS TRUSTEE, SUCCESSOR BY MERGER TO LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS TRUSTEE, Plaintiff, vs. ARSENE MENARD, et al., Defendant. PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO VACATE DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO COMPEL OF OCTOBER 24, 2023 AND FOR SANCTIONS Plaintiff by and through its undersigned counsel hereby files this Motion to Vacate the Order executed on October 24, 2023. Additionally, Plaintiff moves for sanctions against Ms. Mendard’s counsel. In support thereof, Plaintiff states: 1. On October 24, 2023 at 9:50 a.m., Defendant, Arsene Menard, filed a Motion to Compel stating in pertinent part: “The undersigned certifies that prior to filing this Motion to Compel, counsel whose signature appears hereon has corresponded with opposing counsel for the purpose of making a good faith effort to resolve the instant matter, but such attempt was unsuccessful.” A copy of the Motion to Compel is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 2. No contact was ever made with Plaintiff’s counsel to try to resolve the discovery dispute. 3. On October 24, 2023 at 9:59 a.m., just nine minutes after Ms. Menard’s counsel filed the Motion to Compel, an ex-parte Order on Defendants Motion to Compel Discovery was uploaded for execution Exhibit B. 21-04229FL 4. On October 24, 2023 at 10:04 a.m., the undersigned sent an email to Ms. Menard’s counsel in an attempt to correct the misrepresentation made to the Court and to resolve this matter. 5. On October 24, 2023 at 10:15 a.m., The Court entered the Ex-Parte Order on Defendant’s Motion to Compel Discovery Exhibit C. 6. Plaintiff’s counsel emailed counsel for the Defendant at 10:04 am in an effort to correct this matter. Despite multiple emails going back and forth counsel for the Defendant took no action to advise the Court of the false information in the Motion to Compel that had already resulted in an Order being entered and instead Defendant filed an Amended Motion to Compel (DE #33) that simply removed the offending and misleading language Exhibit D. 7. Attorneys owe a duty of candor to the Court. The issue in this matter is not that the Motion was filed with incorrect information but rather once this error was brough to the attention of Counsel for the Defendant no action was taken to correct same. 8. Plaintiff request that the Order on the Motion to Compel be vacated. 9. Plaintiff further request that Defendant’s counsel be sanctioned by the Court for filing clearly false and misleading information. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff, FIRST FRANKLIN MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST, MORTGAGE LOAN ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATES, SERIES 2007-FFC, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS TRUSTEE, SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST TO BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., AS TRUSTEE, SUCCESSOR BY MERGER TO LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS TRUSTEE, files this its Motion to Vacate the Order executed on October 24, 2023 and for sanctions against Ms. Mendard’s counsel, and any further action this court deems proper. 21-04229FL CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true and correct copy of the foregoing was: (x) E-mailed (x) Mailed this 30th day of October 2023, to all parties on the attached service list. \s\ Lourdes M.
