    1 P-R-O-C-E-E-D-I-N-G-S

    2 THE COURT: Good afternoon, everybody.

    3 MR. GILLESPIE: Good afternoon.

    4 MR. RODEMS: Good afternoon.

    5 THE COURT: I know we are in the courtroom and

    6 we are in the courtroom mainly because we have a

    7 lot to deal with today and I figured everybody

    8 needed to spread out and get all their paperwork

    9 organized. So, that is why we are here today.

    10 We do have several motions along with some

    11 effort that I think needs to be extended to help

    12 you all get through this case just to either figure

    13 out a way for you all to communicate effectively or

    14 in 20 years there was one occasion where I just

    15 took what I have heard referred to as the federal

    16 approach where people would just send in their

    17 motions and say, Judge, I think I need 15 minutes

    18 or a half hour or an hour or whatever for this

    19 motion and then we just set it. I mean so that you

    20 all would not have to talk to each other except by

    21 written motions and pleadings, that eliminates the

    22 problem but as you can imagine, that is only a last

    23 resort.

    24 MR. GILLESPIE: Judge, if I may, I have a

    25 letter here for you that addresses exactly what you

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    5/40

    5

    1 are talking about and I would like permission to

    2 approach the bench and hand it to you.

    3 THE COURT: The bailiff will get it from you

    4 and he will hand it up here to me.

    5 MR. GILLESPIE: Thank you, Judge. Also,

    6 before you entered, I left in front of your desk

    7 there a copy of the transcript from our previous

    8 proceeding --

    9 THE COURT: Uh-huh.

    10 MR. GILLESPIE: -- and plaintiff's motion for

    11 relief from an order adjudging contempt. That has

    12 to do with Bauer's inadvertent statement --

    13 misrepresentations to the Court.

    14 THE COURT: All right. We will deal with

    15 that.

    16 MR. GILLESPIE: My letter today has to do with

    17 a couple of issues and I apologize for the late

    18 timing. I became aware of Rule 2.540, Florida

    19 Rules of Judicial Administration, Notices to

    20 Persons with Disabilities. Apparently, Judge, that

    21 notice is required on all process compelling

    22 appearance at proceedings. And I tried to get an

    23 interpretation of this from the Court Administrator

    24 yesterday and left a message for his assistant but

    25 no one has called back. I would just note that

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    6/40

    6

    1 none of Mr. Rodems or for that matter my notices

    2 have had this Rule 2.540 notice as well as the

    3 Court's Order. My other reason for calling the

    4 Court Administrator was to find out where to submit

    5 my ADA assessment and report. I retained Karin

    6 Huffer as my AMA Accommodations Designer and

    7 Advocate. And some of the accommodations requested

    8 are going to be a limit on the number of motions

    9 considered in a single hearing. I just point it

    10 out that this Court's December 30th Order setting

    11 all motions as a problem because first a

    12 determination should be made of the pending motions

    13 and then a reasonable schedule set to hear them.

    14 And I go on to explain why I feel the Court's

    15 Order doesn't comply with Rule 2.540 because the

    16 Courthouse is a public facility. Then as I pointed

    17 out in all fairness, all the parties have been

    18 neglecting this and I'm not even sure if it is

    19 actually required but I wanted to bring it to your

    20 attention. That is for the ADA.

    21 I think the next part of my letter goes to

    22 exactly what you were talking about because when I

    23 was reading about the ADA Rule, right beneath it is

    24 Case Management Rule 2.545 that says that judges

    25 have a duty to -- let me get that Rule so I can

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    7/40

    7

    1 read it.

    2 THE COURT: Can we go back to the first issue

    3 for a moment.

    4 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes, Judge.

    5 THE COURT: Normally when we are presented

    6 with a request to accommodate a -- whether it is a

    7 litigant or a witness or an attorney or whoever it

    8 is that is visiting our courthouse that has a

    9 disability, the first question is what is the

    10 disability and then, second, after we figure out

    11 what that is, which is usually fairly simple, then

    12 we get to what accommodations should be made.

    13 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes, Your Honor.

    14 THE COURT: And if the disability is hearing,

    15 then we have different ways of handling that,

    16 whether it is getting a signer or sometimes

    17 somebody is just hard of hearing so we get

    18 amplification systems installed or headphones,

    19 something like that. And other disabilities that

    20 are well defined and delineated are easy to figure

    21 out what to do. I'm not sure what you are saying

    22 that your disability is.

    23 MR. GILLESPIE: That's why I have this 20-page

    24 report compiled by my ADA Advocate and --

    25 THE COURT: Have you attached that?

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    8/40

    8

    1 MR. GILLESPIE: No, Your Honor, because this

    2 is a draft and they weren't able to have it for

    3 today but -- because of a computer issue.

    4 THE COURT: Well, let me ask this because if

    5 you are telling me and I only set this hearing

    6 because -- on my own and I think it looks like you

    7 had a pretty good idea of what was on the table

    8 today because you listed out, in your notice of

    9 hearing, five matters which we can discuss but I'm

    10 not sure if we should go forward until we determine

    11 what accommodations we should make for you. I mean

    12 if you are saying your disability, which is yet

    13 unclear to me, hasn't been dealt with accordingly

    14 -- I believe this is the first time we are hearing

    15 about this.

    16 MR. GILLESPIE: Actually it is not, Your

    17 Honor. This information was presented to you when

    18 you were a Judge way back on March 5th, 2007,

    19 Plaintiff's Amended Accommodation Request under the

    20 ADA. What had happened is shortly after that date,

    21 Mr. Bauer took the case over and this motion wasn't

    22 heard. Just to address the point, you noted that

    23 in my request there were five motions pending. I

    24 think five motions would be difficult for a fully

    25 experienced attorney to hear in one sitting. It is

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    9/40

    9

    1 impossible for me to hear in one sitting. So,

    2 those are some of the issues that are at hand.

    3 Now, I would like to go on with the letter because

    4 it --

    5 THE COURT: Well, let me -- but I want to

    6 follow up. If you are saying that you want this

    7 issue about your disability addressed, then we will

    8 hault everything and then figure out what to do.

    9 MR. GILLESPIE: All right, Your Honor. The

    10 rest of this letter kind of goes along with that

    11 because the problem with my disability is --

    12 THE COURT: Can you just generally tell me

    13 what the disability is?

    14 MR. GILLESPIE: It is post-traumatic stress

    15 disorder.

    16 THE COURT: Okay.

    17 MR. GILLESPIE: In this letter I describe

    18 another lawsuit I was involved in, in federal court

    19 commenced within a week of this one. We could skip

    20 down to the bottom of page 2. That was Gillespie

    21 vs. HSBC Bank. That was about a credit card matter

    22 in the Ocala division of U.S. District Court.

    23 Opposing counsel was Traci Rollins and David

    24 D'Agata with Squire, Sanders & Dempsey. The entire

    25 case was concluded in 15 months because I was able

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    10/40

    10

    1 to work in a professional manner with those

    2 attorneys. The problem in this case is Mr. Rodems

    3 has behaved unprofessionally because he has a

    4 conflict of interest in representing his own firm.

    5 He has taken what might be called a scorched earth

    6 take no prisoners policy and that has been

    7 disrupting the proceedings. And just to further

    8 expand on that, if you go back to page two of my

    9 letter to you, paragraph two, there is a rule, case

    10 management for judges that requires them to take

    11 control of the case. There is a Civil Rule of

    12 Procedure, 1.20 for a case management conference.

    13 And also this case may even have to be designated

    14 complex litigation under Rule 1.201 because it is

    15 likely to involve complicated legal or case

    16 management issues that may require extensive

    17 judicial management to expedite the action, to keep

    18 costs reasonable, or promote judicial efficiency.

    19 And I think that is what you were talking about.

    20 But really the conclusive evidence about official

    21 wrong doing in this case is from a law review and

    22 --

    23 MR. RODEMS: Your Honor --

    24 MR. GILLESPIE: -- from Judge Isom that talked

    25 exactly about this issue. For whatever reason she

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    11/40

    11

    1 didn't implement what she talked about in her own

    2 law review. I would like you to have a copy of

    3 this.

    4 THE COURT: I'm --

    5 MR. GILLESPIE: I think you have a copy of it.

    6 THE COURT: Yes, I have it here and since

    7 Judge Isom is a colleague in this circuit I have

    8 certainly read what she has written back in 1998

    9 and she has had additional thoughts in this regard

    10 as well. So, if you will go ahead and take a drink

    11 of water and if Mr. Rodems wants to say something I

    12 will let him say something.

    13 MR. RODEMS: Thank you, Judge. In Mr.

    14 Gillespie's letter to your judicial assistant on

    15 December 29th, 2009 he did state in a final

    16 sentence, "In the interest of economy, please

    17 schedule my five motions together with anything Mr.

    18 Rodems wishes to set. I will need two hours for my

    19 five motions." As the Court noted that Mr.

    20 Gillespie did file a notice of hearing today

    21 listing at least five motions. So --

    22 THE COURT: Well, I mean I am going to hear

    23 from you but my first question is given the fact

    24 that you have retained a healthcare professional,

    25 Ms. Karin Huffer, to be your Accommodations

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    12/40

    12

    1 Designer and Advocate, wouldn't it make sense for

    2 me to wait and see what she has to say to see what

    3 we should do?

    4 MR. GILLESPIE: I would go along with that,

    5 Judge, but I would like to finish the letter here

    6 because it addresses part of the problem in this

    7 case.

    8 THE COURT: Well, if are you going to read me

    9 the letter, I mean I can read the letter.

    10 MR. GILLESPIE: All right. If you want to

    11 read it yourself, Judge and make a determination on

    12 it later, that is fine.

    13 THE COURT: Right. Well, because clearly if

    14 folks have disabilities we could make

    15 accommodations and again, you had filed it before

    16 but, again, when you had an attorney and he was

    17 representing you and could have pressed that

    18 forward and apparently there were other matters to

    19 address.

    20 MR. GILLESPIE: I'm sorry that he didn't do

    21 that. He was instructed to do that but for

    22 whatever reason, Mr. Bauer failed to do that and he

    23 failed to do a lot of other things.

    24 THE COURT: When could you have a final copy

    25 of that, whatever you want to present to the Court

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    13/40

    13

    1 and obviously to the opposing side?

    2 MR. GILLESPIE: Are you talking about the ADA

    3 assessment and report?

    4 THE COURT: Ms. Huffer's recommendations and

    5 request as to how to accommodate your disability.

    6 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes. Like I say, this is a

    7 draft. It is not ready yet.

    8 THE COURT: When would it be -- does she tell

    9 you when the final draft would be --

    10 MR. GILLESPIE: We should have it within a

    11 week, Your Honor.

    12 THE COURT: Okay. So --

    13 MR. GILLESPIE: I can give it to you. There

    14 is some question about HIPAA Privacy Rights.

    15 According to Ms. Huffer and she is probably the one

    16 to better address this issue, this -- the fact that

    17 I have a disability is really what the Court needs

    18 to know and how to accommodate it. The underlying

    19 details, she believes, are protected by HIPAA

    20 Privacy Rights.

    21 THE COURT: And that is fine. For our

    22 purposes all we need to know is a few things: One

    23 is what is the disability and secondly, by virtue

    24 of that disability what are the problems and

    25 ramifications for court proceedings and then,

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    14/40

    14

    1 thirdly, what accommodation requests are there.

    2 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes, Judge. And I would say

    3 that, you know, you were given notice. This Court

    4 was given notice back in 2007. Judge Isom was

    5 given notice prior to the hearing. She had

    6 discussed it at the hearing in, I think, an

    7 inappropriate manner in open court. I had

    8 requested the information be kept as private as

    9 possible, such as an in camera hearing. For

    10 whatever reason, she decided not to do that and

    11 forced me to testify on the record. And obviously

    12 I was inarticulate and not the best person to

    13 represent myself on that issue. Prior to that,

    14 this matter was also brought up with Judge Nielsen.

    15 So, there is a long history of it in the record and

    16 for whatever reason it has been largely ignored.

    17 THE COURT: Okay. Well, we will deal with it,

    18 but just remember what you write because we all

    19 thought in the court system as far as today was

    20 concerned, when you write a letter saying, yes, go

    21 ahead and set my five motions and any other motions

    22 the other side has, and all we were seeing is

    23 somebody set a date that wasn't agreed upon and

    24 that is why we set today's date and set your five

    25 motions and I think there might be one motion from

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    15/40

    15

    1 the defendant that is out there. But --

    2 MR. GILLESPIE: And I apologize for that Your

    3 Honor. If you do note, I requested two hours.

    4 That time was cut in half --

    5 THE COURT: Right.

    6 MR. GILLESPIE: -- not even counting Mr.

    7 Rodems.

    8 THE COURT: Don't feel bad because for any

    9 number of reasons, the main reason being the

    10 avalanche of foreclosure cases that we have,

    11 hearing time in this division, not just my division

    12 but all civil divisions, is precious and my office

    13 policy is anytime anybody in any of my cases asks

    14 for more than one half hour, they are directed by

    15 my judicial assistant to send over whatever motion

    16 or motions they have and whatever time request for

    17 hearing they have and then through my judicial

    18 assistant I let them know how much time I'm going

    19 to afford them. And your request for time, frankly

    20 you got more time than 98 percent of the lawyers

    21 are requesting. I mean most of them ask for an

    22 hour or more, I give them a half hour and in some

    23 cases when I read what they ask for, I've cut them

    24 down to 15 minutes. So, frankly in some cases when

    25 it is obvious that maybe somebody has requested an

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    16/40

    16

    1 hour and I've given them a half hour and it has

    2 gone over, then we go over, if time is permitting.

    3 But in any event I guess that will be for next

    4 time. If you can -- again, I don't need to see the

    5 HIPAA protected stuff. I mean I have told you the

    6 issues that I want to see addressed which I don't

    7 think would be a violation of HIPAA. So just put

    8 in there what the disability is, what problems it

    9 causes for court proceedings and then what the

    10 accommodation request is --

    11 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes Judge.

    12 THE COURT: -- and I will deal with that and I

    13 want to see that. Can you get that to me within,

    14 you tell me, a week, ten days?

    15 MR. GILLESPIE: This is how I'm going to

    16 proceed on that, Judge. As you see, I hired a

    17 court reporter today. I'm going to request that

    18 this be expedited. What you requested on the

    19 record will be given to Ms. Huffer and then she can

    20 respond on that basis. I think that would take me

    21 out of the equation as far as any misinterpretation

    22 of what you asked.

    23 THE COURT: All right. Then we will figure

    24 out what accommodations will be made. Mr. Rodems,

    25 is there anything else you want to cover today?

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    17/40

    17

    1 MR. RODEMS: No, Your Honor. If there's

    2 anything that me or my clients can do to assist the

    3 Court or Mr. Gillespie in relation to all this I

    4 would be happy to do that. If you would like me to

    5 address motion request in the manner you suggested

    6 earlier we will be happy to do that, whatever the

    7 Court asks.

    8 THE COURT: Well, and I will try to help you

    9 work through because that, I think, is something we

    10 can at least talk about today. Again, with the

    11 last resort being what I outlined at the beginning

    12 of this hearing, if you all just can't communicate

    13 effectively without there being problems, then,

    14 again, you can just submit whatever motions you

    15 have and whatever hearing time request and we will

    16 take the bull by the horns and send out the notice

    17 of hearing or there will be an order scheduling a

    18 hearing. But other folks that have had this kind

    19 of problem have discussed, okay, we agree we should

    20 be on the phone with each other, so we will address

    21 each other trying to get up a -- you know,

    22 coordinate hearing times and things like that

    23 through emails or faxes or something like that.

    24 But if you all don't think that that would work

    25 then, again, we've always got what I call the last

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    18/40

    18

    1 resort. So --

    2 MR. RODEMS: I'm amenable to communications

    3 with Mr. Gillespie by email or by fax. If he is

    4 willing to provide me with an email address or a

    5 fax number I would be more than happy to

    6 communicate with Mr. Gillespie from here on out in

    7 that fashion.

    8 MR. GILLESPIE: Your Honor, I object to that.

    9 I'm unable to provide him an email address.

    10 THE COURT: Okay. So, do you have -- unless

    11 you have an alternative --

    12 MR. GILLESPIE: I do. I would like to proceed

    13 what you referred to as the federal procedure.

    14 THE COURT: Okay. We will do that.

    15 MR. GILLESPIE: That is what I would prefer.

    16 THE COURT: Now, what that means since I'm

    17 aware that both of you have other things going on

    18 in your lives, that if somebody sends in a motion

    19 and requests, doesn't matter what amount of time,

    20 15 minutes or 15 days, I doubt if you will request

    21 15 days but you get the idea, that I'm probably

    22 going to be setting it in like the next week. I

    23 mean it probably would be a couple of weeks out,

    24 something like that which has kind of been normal

    25 anyway, hasn't it?

    1 MR. RODEMS: In my experience, yes, sir.

    2 THE COURT: So, I just -- you know I don't --

    3 by doing this approach the disadvantage, obviously,

    4 is that your alls calendars won't be taken into

    5 account or consulted. It is not going to be like,

    6 here are three possible dates for your hearing.

    7 Like what I'm going to do is I get a motion from

    8 you and, Judge, I request a half hour for this

    9 hearing, I'll just check my calendar, set the

    10 hearing for your half hour or 15 minutes or maybe

    11 it will -- you know somebody will request a half

    12 hour and say, well, you know, this could take more

    13 than that. So, I'm going to leave all my options

    14 open. So, I just want you to understand what could

    15 happen.

    16 MR. RODEMS: Your Honor, may I, if I need to

    17 request hearing time then suggest to you what is

    18 currently on my calendar so that to the extent

    19 possible --

    20 THE COURT: And that is not a bad idea when

    21 you send in a motion and the amount of time you

    22 think you need and I will try to accommodate you

    23 but I'm not saying that I can. It is obvious the

    24 requesting party could say, and, Judge, I would

    25 like this the week of March 1st, assuming that is a

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    20/40

    20

    1 Monday. Well, I wouldn't have any input from the

    2 other side. So, and that is a problem with, you

    3 know, the other side request a hearing and I set

    4 it. I'm just going to count on you all to make an

    5 adjustment. And, you know, I'm sure your calendar

    6 varies from day to day.

    7 Mr. Gillespie, what about your calendar? Are

    8 there any days of the week that you are just not

    9 available at all or any mornings or afternoons?

    10 MR. GILLESPIE: Judge, the only request I

    11 would make because I'm traveling from a hundred

    12 miles away is that the hearings be scheduled later

    13 in the day.

    14 THE COURT: Afternoons, you mean?

    15 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes, Judge.

    16 THE COURT: Okay. We can do that. And,

    17 again, the odds are I will give you, let's say,

    18 rule of thumb, a couple of weeks or more lead time,

    19 you know that I get something and I wouldn't set

    20 it, the next week, it would be two weeks or further

    21 out, something like that.

    22 MR. RODEMS: And I have a federal court

    23 practice as well, Your Honor and I'm accustomed to

    24 when the judges call you over there you make

    25 whatever arrangements you need to, to be there.

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    21/40

    21

    1 So, that is fine. I will certainly be able to do

    2 that in this case.

    3 THE COURT: And the other thing each of you

    4 needs to take advantage of, if you so choose, is

    5 there is another Rule of Judicial Administration

    6 that allows appearance by telephone if folks so

    7 request it. The only exception to that is if there

    8 is going to be any testimony, you couldn't testify

    9 in a hearing over the telephone unless the other

    10 side agrees. So, if we have a fairly short hearing

    11 and somebody wants to appear by telephone in

    12 anything, like even today, that would have been

    13 allowable.

    14 MR. GILLESPIE: Judge --

    15 THE COURT: As long as you let us know.

    16 MR. GILLESPIE: Can I address that issue,

    17 Judge?

    18 THE COURT: Sure.

    19 MR. GILLESPIE: In the past I have appeared by

    20 telephone and for whatever reason, Mr. Rodems was

    21 upset with that. In fact, he told me in no

    22 uncertain terms he was not going to let me appear

    23 by telephone. He was going to force me to drive to

    24 Tampa. So, that just gives you an idea of the

    25 contentious nature of this matter.

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    22/40

    22

    1 THE COURT: Well, I mean, I have only to

    2 remember some of our prior hearings and look

    3 through this file to -- I mean it has become

    4 contentious. But all I'm saying is that what I

    5 just outlined is my policy which is supported by

    6 the Rules of Judicial Administration. So, the only

    7 thing that I require is if somebody is going to

    8 appear at a hearing by telephone, that prior notice

    9 be given so that we don't expect somebody to ring

    10 our bell out there that we know, Oh, yeah, they are

    11 going to be calling in and you will have a

    12 telephone line to call in on. Okay.

    13 MR. GILLESPIE: Thank you, Judge.

    14 THE COURT: Sure.

    15 MR. GILLESPIE: And just -- there is two

    16 issues in my letter that I would like to ask you

    17 about, about hearings or motions. One of them,

    18 I've asked to overturn this Court's Order

    19 determining the amount of sanctions and final

    20 judgment of March 7. Can you respond to that after

    21 you've had a chance to consider that, Judge --

    22 THE COURT: Sure.

    23 MR. GILLESPIE: -- or would you prefer me to

    24 file a motion?

    25 THE COURT: No, I mean, you certainly made

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    23/40

    23

    1 your request. I will take a look at it.

    2 MR. GILLESPIE: The other thing has to do with

    3 the 57.105 motions. Currently there is two 57.105

    4 motions filed against Mr. -- from when Mr. Bauer

    5 was representing me. I guess the Court never made

    6 a determination about what would happen with those

    7 after he left the case. And, you know, I talked

    8 about that in my letter here. When Mr. Rodems

    9 testified at the hearing on March 20th, he said he

    10 may have filed one or two in his entire 16-year

    11 career. In this case he has filed four and he has

    12 threatened one or two others. So, it just gives

    13 you an idea that in the 16-year career, where there

    14 was one or two filed, in this case there has been

    15 many times that amount. So, it goes to the issue

    16 of whether he is even appropriate to represent his

    17 firm at this point.

    18 And I'm just going to conclude because you

    19 weren't at the hearing when Mr. Bauer made this

    20 statement, but I brought the transcript with me.

    21 This was before Judge Crenshaw on August 14th,

    22 2008. Mr. Bauer said in open Court: "Mr. Rodems

    23 has, you know, decided to take a full nuclear blast

    24 approach instead of us trying to work this out in a

    25 professional manner. It is my mistake for sitting

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    24/40

    24

    1 back and giving him the opportunity to take this

    2 full blast attack." And I will provide the Court

    3 and Mr. Rodems copies of that transcript.

    4 THE COURT: All right. Well, as I have

    5 indicated which should give you some idea that I'm

    6 taking a more proactive approach in this case from

    7 this point on and we need to get this case

    8 processed and proceeding forward and ultimately set

    9 for some kind of a final hearing for everybody

    10 involved.

    11 MR. RODEMS: Judge, one point, I'm not sure

    12 which motions for 57.105 that Mr. Gillespie may be

    13 referring to but I'm willing to, today, provide Mr.

    14 Gillespie with an additional 21 days as 57.105

    15 requires to take a look at those motions. And if

    16 he believes that they are well taken and he wishes

    17 to change any of the matters that are raised in

    18 those to avoid the possibility of sanctions, then

    19 I'm perfectly fine. And if Mr. Gillespie does take

    20 that action within 21 days, any pending motions for

    21 57.105 that haven't already been resolved by this

    22 Court and affirmed on appeal, I would be more than

    23 happy to not proceed with. My goal in filing a

    24 motion for sanctions under 57.105 is the exact

    25 purpose which the Statute says which is if there is

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    25/40

    25

    1 something that is not in compliance with 57.105

    2 then it should be removed. And there is a 21-day

    3 period to do so. So, I'm not sure specifically --

    4 perhaps if Mr. Gillespie has the dates of the

    5 service of those motions I could look back in my

    6 file and see what he is talking about.

    7 THE COURT: Well, I would assume either in

    8 some index in your file or even I guess a word

    9 processor or word search you could probably pull

    10 those.

    11 MR. GILLESPIE: Your --

    12 MR. RODEMS: I could, Your Honor. Let me --

    13 MR. GILLESPIE: Your Honor I --

    14 MR. RODEMS: If I may finish, Mr. Gillespie.

    15 The only problem is, is that along the way there

    16 were certain motions that were filed that I worked

    17 out with Mr. Bauer, Mr. Gillespie's counsel at one

    18 time. So, I'm not even sure as we sit here today

    19 if there are any pending unresolved 57.105 motions.

    20 He believes there are. And if there are, as I

    21 said, I'm more than willing to extend another 21

    22 day --

    23 THE COURT: I'm going to, because you're the

    24 movant --

    25 MR. RODEMS: Yes, sir.

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    26/40

    26

    1 THE COURT: -- on these, I am going to require

    2 that you undertake that task.

    3 MR. RODEMS: I will look through my file today

    4 and I will see if there are any pending 57.105

    5 motions that have not been resolved. If there are,

    6 I will advise Mr. Gillespie by letter and if there

    7 are not, I will advise Mr. Gillespie by letter.

    8 THE COURT: And do you understand what he is

    9 purporting to do?

    10 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes, Judge,but his point is

    11 moot because I have the dates of those 57.105

    12 motions and what they are for right in this letter.

    13 The third 57.105 motion he filed was on July 31st,

    14 2008 because I did not withdraw my complaint in

    15 this matter. The fourth 57.105 motion in this

    16 case, also on July 31st, 2008 because I did not

    17 withdraw my motion for rehearing. That motion for

    18 rehearing was set for today, Your Honor.

    19 Now, I appreciate and I thank Mr. Rodems for

    20 his willingness to work on this matter. But I know

    21 for a fact that neither one of these 57.105 motions

    22 have been resolved. In fact one of them is set for

    23 a hearing today.

    24 THE COURT: Okay.

    25 MR. GILLESPIE: But what I will do if --

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    27/40

    27

    1 THE COURT: Okay. Were those the only two

    2 that you know of?

    3 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes, Your Honor.

    4 THE COURT: Can you try to verify that, Mr.

    5 Rodems?

    6 MR. RODEMS: Yes, sir, I will look at them and

    7 I will see if they are still pending. I didn't

    8 have either one of those set for hearing today,

    9 Your Honor, I don't believe. I did have two

    10 motions to compel.

    11 THE COURT: Right.

    12 MR. GILLESPIE: Let me get my --

    13 THE COURT: In any event.

    14 MR. GILLESPIE: -- notice of hearing from Mr.

    15 Rodems. Do you have a copy of that, sir, my notice

    16 of hearing for today? You said that you had it.

    17 MR. RODEMS: Yours, Mr. Gillespie?

    18 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes, Mr. Rodems. It is item

    19 number 5, plaintiff's motion -- I'm sorry. It is

    20 item number 3, plaintiff's motion for rehearing

    21 from July 16th, 2008.

    22 THE COURT: All right. Anyway, if you can

    23 verify those are the only two and then send out the

    24 21 day letter and it might not be complied with or

    25 accepted but that is fine. I mean there is no harm

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    28/40

    28

    1 in having another period of time to --

    2 MR. GILLESPIE: Well, Judge.

    3 THE COURT: -- respond.

    4 MR. RODEMS: Yes, sir.

    5 MR. GILLESPIE: I don't know the law on this,

    6 the fine points of law but I think that because

    7 this has to do with a rehearing issue and it has to

    8 do with the complaint itself, why don't you just

    9 allow me to file an amended complaint and then

    10 those two 57.105's become moot because I will

    11 clarify in the complaint that there was no signed

    12 contingent fee agreement with Mr. Rodems. That

    13 will eliminate one 57.105 and I will also amend the

    14 complaint so that he wouldn't have to file a 57.105

    15 on the old complaint.

    16 THE COURT: That is a request that since it is

    17 not in writing, I don't think.

    18 MR. GILLESPIE: It is in writing in this

    19 letter to you, Your Honor.

    20 THE COURT: Okay and that we are just hearing

    21 for the first time today. Again, all I'm going to

    22 do today is look at your accommodation request.

    23 And the only other thing I am ordering, based on

    24 what Mr. Rodems has indicated that is not required

    25 but he has volunteered to do it and it wouldn't

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    29/40

    29

    1 hurt to take a look at it, what -- and I know

    2 you've done fairly well in representing yourself

    3 but to explain what the 57.105 attorney's fee

    4 process is, the way that law reads now is that if

    5 one side wants attorney's fees and costs under

    6 57.105, before the motion can even be filed, there

    7 has to be what is called a 21-day letter that goes

    8 out which essentially puts the other side on notice

    9 and says, here is a pleading or something you've

    10 done that doesn't have any merit to it, it is

    11 without basis and unless you withdraw it within 21

    12 days then the motion for fees is filed. So, what

    13 it does is give -- it would give you an additional

    14 21 days to think about your position and see if --

    15 and if you did what the letter asks, then there

    16 would be no basis for any award of attorney's fees

    17 on that.

    18 MR. GILLESPIE: Well Judge, why I'm having a

    19 problem understanding why in his 16-year career he

    20 has only filed one or two and in this case he has

    21 filed four and he has threatened a couple of

    22 others. What would prevent an attorney from just

    23 sending a 57.105 notice out with everything?

    24 THE COURT: What would prevent that?

    25 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes, Your Honor.

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    30/40

    30

    1 THE COURT: There is nothing really except for

    2 the fact that from what I've seen it doesn't happen

    3 but theoretically that could happen.

    4 MR. GILLESPIE: It seems to be happening in

    5 this case.

    6 THE COURT: Well, it may or may not be. There

    7 obviously have been multiple attorney's fees

    8 motions filed. But what we are dealing with now is

    9 what has been volunteered to do something that he

    10 doesn't have to do. And again, you don't have to

    11 do anything either except look at the letter and

    12 you have 20 days to think about what is in the

    13 letter and if you don't want to do anything, you

    14 don't have to do anything. But it is just an

    15 additional period of time for you to think about

    16 what is in the letters that are going to be sent.

    17 MR. GILLESPIE: Thank you, Judge.

    18 THE COURT: All right.

    19 MR. GILLESPIE: And in my letter of -- in my

    20 letter to you today I notice -- I discuss the issue

    21 of an amended complaint. This was first raised in

    22 this case in October 7th, 2005 and for whatever

    23 reason, it hasn't been done yet. I think the case

    24 is ripe for that. I also discuss Judge Nielsen's

    25 order of May 12th about disqualification of Mr.

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    31/40

    31

    1 Rodems. This is what the Judge wrote: "This

    2 motion to disqualify is denied with prejudice

    3 except as to the basis that Counsel may be a

    4 witness and on that basis the motion is denied

    5 without prejudice." Now, for Mr. Rodems being a

    6 witness, the nature of this case is essentially he

    7 is a perpetual witness. The transcripts show that

    8 his representation is essentially on going

    9 testimony about factual matters. Many times in the

    10 transcripts he is confused. He is saying, Judge,

    11 we -- Oh, I don't mean we, I mean I as my attorney

    12 for the firm think this about my client, which is

    13 actually myself. That confusion is evident in the

    14 transcripts over and over again. I really believe

    15 he needs to be disqualified because of his ongoing

    16 testimony in this matter.

    17 THE COURT: All right. Well, I assume there

    18 will be a renewed motion to disqualify that will be

    19 filed and then again set for a hearing once we

    20 establish our procedure, but we can't do that until

    21 we get what I directed you to produce within ten

    22 days from Ms. Huffer.

    23 MR. GILLESPIE: Well, Judge, once I -- I'm

    24 going to ask for ten days from the receipt of the

    25 transcript so that I can give that to Ms. Huffer so

  • 8/13/2019 Transcript Judge Barton 3.00 PM Jan 26 2010

    32

    1 she can read exactly what you are looking for.

    2 THE COURT: Okay. That is fine. I think I've

    3 heard you order this transcript on an expedited

    4 basis. So, that will be fairly soon.

    5 MR. GILLESPIE: So, with regard to the various

    6 things that I have asked in this letter, are you

    7 saying you would like a motion from me on those?

    8 THE COURT: No. At your request I'm going to

    9 take a look at the items in the letter, then I will

    10 determine whether there needs to be a motion filed

    11 or whether I can address them by virtue of what

    12 you've got in the letter.

    13 MR. GILLESPIE: Thank you, Judge.

    14 THE COURT: Okay. All right. Thank you. We

    15 will be adjourned.
