ELECTRONICALLY FILED superior Court of California, County of Placer Zenaida P. Graves, Respondent, Pro-Se 10/05/2020 2351 SUNSET BLVD., STE 170-238 By: LaurelSanders, Deputy Clerk ROCKLIN, CA, 95765 (415) 350-8956 Zpgraves16sja@yahoo.com SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF PLACER Case No.: M-CV-0076678 SURETEC INSURANCE CO. 10 vs. RESPONDENT’S 11 STATUS REPORT AS Zenaida P. Graves OF OCTOBER 2, 2020 12 i3 14 L5 16 Respondent, Zenaida P. Graves, reports that a second Meet and Confer meeting occurred on 17 October 1, 2020 at 4:50-5:28pm pm with Mr. David F. Myers, attorney for Suretec Insurance 18 Co. 19 Mr. Myers wanted to stipulate as to what is disputed and agree on non-disputed issues. Mr. 20 Myers was obsessed with and repeatedly asked the Respondent to answer yes or no in regard to 21 verifying her signature on documents. Respondent did not have Plaintiff's exhibits on hand. 22 NON-DISPUTED ISSUES: 23 1. The Bond in the complaint was exonerated. 24 2. The Bond is a Bond. 25 3. The Respondent/Trustee stated a signature on Plaintiff's Exhibit 1 and further clarified 26 that Plaintiff's Exhibit 1 is an application to Vreeland Bonding Services, not Suretec. 27 4. The Respondent/Trustee stated a signature on Plaintiff's Exhibit 2 along with a signature 28 RESPONDENT’S STATUS REPORT AS OF OCTOBER 2, 2020 1 from Paul Fazzio who works for Vreeland, not Suretec. DISPUTED ISSUES: Indemnification claim that he mentioned in his Complaint A. Mr. Myers would not stipulate that he is a debt collector per the FDCPA and RFDCPA for purposes of this complaint. Mr. Myers would not stipulate that he violated the FDCPA and RFDCPA regulations. Mr. Myers would not agree to stipulate that his Exhibit 1 of the Complaint isan application to Vreeland Bonding Services, not Suretec. Mr. Myers would not stipulate that Suretec filed a petition for Release of Liability (Exhibit 2), even though Suretec filed itat San Francisco Superior Court on 9/2017. 10 Mr. Myers is disputing his managing partner Mr. Curran’s statement made under oath pi to the Superior Court of San Francisco County, that there were no claims filed against 12 the bond (captured by the Court Reporter at the hearing). (Exhibit 3). Mr. Myers stated that the claim he alleges was during the active period of the alleged 13 bond in San Francisco court before itwas exonerated, but not presented to Trustee. 14 Mr. Myers also stated that the alleged claim was referred to in the failed “Settlement 15 Agreement” (Plaintiff filed with his Objection) that his former colleague, Ms. 16 Szczechwicz and the Trust’s former attorney, Ms. Friedeberg had been engaged to 17 handle. The Settlement Agreement was repudiated by the Trustee and beneficiaries. 18 Mr. Myers denied that his complaint lacked evidentiary support. 19 Mr. Myers would not stipulate that he has no evidence. He has not disclosed any. 20 Mr. Myers denied that he was supposed to submit evidence with his complaint. When Zk the Respondent pointed out that his objection to the Motion for Sanction, later 22 admitted facts he failed to acknowledge in his complaint, he lectured the Respondent 23 and said that legally his complaint does not have to contain evidence. “It will be 24 proven at Trial.” Plaintiff has the burden of proof and should disclose the evidence. 25 In our previous Meet and Confer, Mr. Myers alleged that the indemnity breach he is 26 trying to pursue is a legally separate issue from the Bond exoneration. When 2d challenged about the dispute of an invalid bond contract, he continued to proffer a 28 claim was made against the alleged bond. He has not presented a claim. RESPONDENT’S STATUS REPORT AS OF OCTOBER 2, 2020 2 L. Mr. Myers failed to provide the Respondent with any evidence upon request and refused to respond to Discovery requests emailed to him and stated that the Respondent’s discovery request was not properly formatted. When Respondent reminded Mr. Myers of his duty to be truthful and his responsibility to prevent frivolous complaints, he ranted about the Respondent isnot a lawyer and needs to get a lawyer. M. Mr. Myers could not answer why Wolkin-Curran’s former attorney who handled this case, (Ms. Szczechowicz) as aggressive as she was, did not submit this alleged claim when the alleged bond was being adjudicated and did not inform the San Francisco Superior Court. |understand Ms. Szczechowicz recently parted ways with Wolkin- 10 Curran around May 2020 and Mr. Myers took over and filed this case inJune 2020. 11 12 UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR BY MR. MYERS: 13 The Respondent informed Mr. Myers of an Expedited Trial Date she learned from the Court’s 14 website that was set by the Court for December 4, 2020. Mr. Myers then badgered the 15 Respondent and stated that he was going to depose her and insisted right then for a date that he 16 can set for a formal deposition in front of a court reporter to be taken under oath. When 17 questioned about sending the deposition questions in writing, he refused and said itwill be live 18 and in person. When the Respondent told him, she would get back to him within a week for a 19 date, he continued to rant and insisted on knowing a date right then and there on the phone. 20 The Respondent had to end the call because Mr. Myers continued to be uncooperative and 21 bullying. 22 CONCLUSION: Zo The Respondent through her Answers to the Petitioner, her Motion to Sanction, Meet and Confer 24 conversations and this Status Report, has demonstrated that the evidence in the records clearly 25 shows that the Plaintiff has failed to meet his level of burden for bringing and attempting to sustain his complaint in Placer County Superior Court. It has been further demonstrated by the 26 Plaintiff's objection to the Motion to Sanction, that the Plaintiff has failed to provide evidence 27 to refute the Respondent’s motion. 28 RESPONDENT’S STATUS REPORT AS OF OCTOBER 2, 2020 3 Mr. Myers has provided no evidence of a claim being submitted to Suretec, he has not established a valid bond contract with Suretec, he has failed to explain how or prove that an application for a bond with Vreeland (bond broker) somehow became a bond contract with Suretec he is alleging. His complaint for attorney fees seems to be the claim that he isstating was made against the bond, yet there is no correspondence from Suretec to the Trustee / Respondent, stating a claim has been received and demanding reimbursement for any sums paid against a claim. Mr. Myers has failed to prove any damages to Suretec and provides no evidence of damages. The Respondent again charges Mr. Myers with filing a frivolous complaint that issolely intended to harass and cause financial waste. The fact that Mr. Myers ispresenting aclaim without evidence from Suretec Insurance Company 10 is, in my opinion, an Insurance Fraud. He has attempted to say the Respondent is personally il liable for the Plaintiff's unnecessary legal bill for an unproven breach of contract and has used 12 Suretec’s name to seam the Respondent/Trustee who isa senior citizen. 13 The Respondent labels Mr. Myers a mendacious attorney who has attempted to venue shop this 14 complaint. The Respondent also intends to file a complaint with the California State Bar’s LD Ethics division and the California Department of Insurance. Mr. Myers should not be allowed to practice law. 16 ad Attached is a copy of the letter dated June 18, 2020 from a solicitor who informed me of this lawsuit I received on June 26, 2020. (Exhibit 4). The Answer was filed on July 10, 2020. 18 19 VERIFICATION 20 I am the Respondent/Trustee in this action; the foregoing is true of my own knowledge, except 241 as to the matters stated in iton my information or belief, and as to those matters I believe them 22 to be true. 23 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing 24 is true and correct and that this declaration was executed atPlacer County, California. 25 26 Dated: October 4, 2020 2d 28 ‘¢naida P.
