    2. Plaintiff is seeking to recover the property located at 8092 SW 115th Loop, Ocala, FL

    34481 based on an "event of default" under the terms of the Adjustable Rate Note (Home

    Equity Conversion) a/k/a "reverse mortgage".

    3. Because this is a reverse mortgage, the Defendants have no financial liability under the

    terms of the subject loan. See paragraph 7(a) of the Note and 9(a) of the Mortgage.

    4. Defendants do not wish to contest entry of final judgment against Defendants.

    5. The Defendants desire swift resolution to this action so they hereby give consent to

    having Judgment entered in favor of the Plaintiff in this action.

    6. The Plaintiff knowingly and wrongly filed this action as a “commercial foreclosure” on

    its civil cover sheet (Exhibit 8) violation of Rule 1.100(c)(2) Pleadings and Motions, when in

    fact the Plaintiff and its counsel knows this is a residential foreclosure of my Florida homestead.

    7. On February 7, 2015, I filed my affidavit of residential homestead,

    AFFIDAVIT OF NEIL J. GILLESPIE OF RESIDENTIAL HOMESTEAD

    THIS IS NOT A COMMERCIAL FORCLOSURE

    Filing # 23497600 E-Filed 02/07/2015 11:56:00 PM

    8. I notified Gregory C. Harrell, General Counsel to David R. Ellspermann, Marion County

    Clerk of Court & Comptroller by letter December 24, 2014 (Exhibit 9) of the Clerk’s duty and 

    the civil cover sheet (form 1.997), Rule 1.100(c)(2), in part:

    Mr. Harrell, under Rule 1.100(c)(2) “...all proceedings in the action shall be abated until

    a properly executed cover sheet is completed and filed...”. This is the Clerk’s duty, see

    Rule 1.100(c)(2) Pleadings and Motions.

    (2) A civil cover sheet (form 1.997) shall be completed and filed with the clerk at the

    time an initial complaint or petition is filed by the party initiating the action. If the cover sheet is not filed, the clerk shall accept the complaint or petition for filing; but all

     proceedings in the action shall be abated until a properly executed cover sheet is

    completed and filed. The clerk shall complete the civil cover sheet for a party appearing

     pro se.

    Fla. R. Jud. Admin., Rule 2.330(h), Prior Rulings

    5

    Currently the civil cover sheet (form 1.997) is not “properly executed” as completed and 

    filed. The Clerk has a ministerial duty under Rule 1.100(c)(2), “...all proceedings in the

    action shall be abated until a properly executed cover sheet is completed and filed.”.

    As of today Clerk David R. Ellspermann has not abated the proceedings until a properly

    executed cover sheet is completed and filed. Rule 1.100(c)(2).

    9. The Plaintiff has failed to comply with Florida Statutes Chapter 702, Foreclosure of 

    Mortgages and Statutory Liens, and section 702.015 Elements of complaint; lost, destroyed, or 

    stolen note affidavit. The Plaintiff, inter alia, has not filed the original note with the Clerk.

    10. The Plaintiff has failed to comply with Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 1.115,

    Pleading Mortgage Foreclosures and subparts (a) through (e). The Plaintiff, inter alia, has not

    filed the original note with the Clerk.

    WHEREFORE, I move the Court to reconsider the prior rulings of Judge Hale R. Stancil

    (“Judge Stancil”) in this case under Rule 2.330(h), Florida Rules of Judicial Administration.

    VERIFICATION OF NEIL J. GILLESPIE

    Under penalty of perjury, I declare that I have read the foregoing, and the facts alleged 

    therein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

    on the Motion to Strike Sham Pleadings, filed

    Defendant

    GILLESPIE requests

    this

    GILLESPIE claims,

    the

    pleadings

    are

    a sham.

    Striking of a pleading because it is a

    sham

    is

    warranted if the

    pleading is a mere pretense,

    set

    up

    in bad

    faith and

    without

    color of fact. Destiny Constr. Co

    v

    Martin K Eby Constr.

    662 So 2d 388 (Fla. 5

    meet his

    burden

    and has

    not established

    that any of the documents

    he

    claims to be a sham are a

    mere pretense, set up in bad faith and

    without

    color of fact. Therefore, it is,

    ORDERED: The Motion to Strike Sham Pleadings, filed by Defendant NEIL J.

    GILLESPIE, is DENIED.

    Gregory C. Harrell

    General Counsel to David R. Ellspermann

    Marion County Clerk of Court & Comptroller 

    Ocala, Florida 34475

    RE: Clerk’s duty and the civil cover sheet (form 1.997), Rule 1.100(c)(2).

    Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. vs. Neil J. Gillespie, et al., Case No. 13-115-CAT

    Dear Mr. Harrell:

    You emailed me December 09, 2014 at 4:59 PM about the civil cover sheet (form 1.997):

    -The case was designated as a commercial foreclosure by plaintiff's counsel in the civil

    cover sheet that the plaintiff is responsible for preparing and filing at the outset of the

    case. You will need to take the matter up with the court and/or the plaintiff however you

    deem appropriate if you dispute the plaintiff's characterization of the case, as the Clerk has no say in that.

    Mr. Harrell, under Rule 1.100(c)(2) “...all proceedings in the action shall be abated until a

     properly executed cover sheet is completed and filed...”. This is the Clerk’s duty, see

    Rule 1.100(c)(2) Pleadings and Motions.

     (2) A civil cover sheet (form 1.997) shall be completed and filed with the clerk at the

    time an initial complaint or petition is filed by the party initiating the action. If the cover 

    sheet is not filed, the clerk shall accept the complaint or petition for filing; but all

     proceedings in the action shall be abated until a properly executed cover sheet iscompleted and filed. The clerk shall complete the civil cover sheet for a party appearing

     pro se.

    Currently the civil cover sheet (form 1.997) is not “properly executed” as completed and filed.

    The Clerk has a ministerial duty under Rule 1.100(c)(2), “...all proceedings in the action shall be

    abated until a properly executed cover sheet is completed and filed.”.

    When can I expect the Clerk to fulfill its ministerial duties under Rule 1.100(c)(2)?

    Sincerely,

     Neil J. Gillespie

    RULE 1.100 FLORIDA RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE RULE 1.110

    CIV-24

    such; an answer to a crossclaim if the answer contains

    a crossclaim; a third-party complaint if a person who

    was not an original party is summoned as a third-party

    defendant; and a third-party answer if a third-partycomplaint is served. If an answer or third-party an-

    swer contains an afrmative defense and the opposing

     party seeks to avoid it, the opposing party shall le

    a reply containing the avoidance. No other pleadings

    shall be allowed.

    (b) Motions. An application to the court for an or-

    der shall be by motion which shall be made in writing

    unless made during a hearing or trial, shall state with

     particularity the grounds therefor, and shall set forth

    the relief or order sought. The requirement of writing

    is fullled if the motion is stated in a written notice of

    the hearing of the motion. All notices of hearing shallspecify each motion or other matter to be heard.

    (c) Caption.

    (1) Every pleading, motion, order, judgment, or

    other paper shall have a caption containing the name

    of the court, the le number, the name of the rst party

    on each side with an appropriate indication of other

     parties, and a designation identifying the party ling

    it and its nature or the nature of the order, as the case

    may be. All papers led in the action shall be styled in

    such a manner as to indicate clearly the subject mat-

    ter of the paper and the party requesting or obtainingrelief.1

    (2) A civil cover sheet (form 1.997) shall be com-

     pleted and led with the clerk at the time an initial

    complaint or petition is led by the party initiating the

    action. If the cover sheet is not led, the clerk shall

    accept the complaint or petition for ling; but all pro -

    ceedings in the action shall be abated until a properly

    executed cover sheet is completed and led. The clerk

    shall complete the civil cover sheet for a party appear-

    ing pro se.

    (3) A nal disposition form (form 1.998) shall beled with the clerk by the prevailing party at the time

    of the ling of the order or judgment which disposes of

    the action. If the action is settled without a court order

    or judgment being entered, or dismissed by the par-

    ties, the plaintiff or petitioner immediately shall le 

    a nal disposition form (form 1.998) with the clerk.

    The clerk shall complete the nal disposition form for

    a party appearing pro se, or when the action is dis-

    missed by court order for lack of prosecution pursuant

    to rule 1.420(e).

    (d) Motion in Lieu of Scire Facias. Any relief

    available by scire facias may be granted on motion

    after notice without the issuance of a writ of scire

    facias.

    1.E.g., “Order Denying Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judg-

    ment,” “Defendant’s Motion to Compel,” “Order Denying Defen-

    dant’s Motion to Dismiss,” “Final Judgment for Plaintiff,” etc.

    Committee Notes

    1971 Amendment. The change requires a more complete desig-nation of the document that is led so that it may be more rapidly

    identied. It also species the applicability of the subdivision to all

    of the various documents that can be led. For example, a motion to

    dismiss should now be entitled “defendant’s motion to dismiss the

    complaint” rather than merely “motion” or “motion to dismiss.”

    1972 Amendment. Subdivision (a) is amended to make a reply

    mandatory when a party seeks to avoid an afrmative defense in

    an answer or third-party answer. It is intended to eliminate thereby

    the problems exemplied by Tuggle v. Maddox, 60 So. 2d 158 (Fla.

    1952), and Dickerson v. Orange State Oil Co., 123 So. 2d 562 (Fla.

    2d DCA 1960).

    1992 Amendment. Subdivision (b) is amended to require all

    notices of hearing to specify the motions or other matters to be

    heard.

    RULE 1.110. GENERAL RULES OF

    PLEADING

    (a) Forms of Pleadings. Forms of action and tech-

    nical forms for seeking relief and of pleas, pleadings,

    or motions are abolished.

    (b) Claims for Relief. A pleading which sets forth

    a claim for relief, whether an original claim, counter-

    claim, crossclaim, or third-party claim, must state a

    cause of action and shall contain (1) a short and plainstatement of the grounds upon which the court’s juris-

    diction depends, unless the court already has jurisdic-

    tion and the claim needs no new grounds of jurisdic-

    tion to support it, (2) a short and plain statement of the

    ultimate facts showing that the pleader is entitled to

    relief, and (3) a demand for judgment for the relief to
