Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Florida
Lake County Judicial Center
550 West Main Street/P.O. Box 7800
Tavares, FL 32778-7800
Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. vs. Neil J. Gillespie, et al., Case No. 13-115-CAT
Marion County Circuit Court, Fifth Judicial Circuit, Florida
The Honorable Don F. Briggs, Chief Judge:
Please find enclosed my letter to Marion County Clerk David R. Ellspermann for a response to
unanswered questions about the compromised Marion County public online docket in my case.
Also enclosed is an unanswered, and unacknowledged, records request to Grace A. Fagan, Esq.,
General Counsel for the Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Florida.
I also require information about obtaining a court reporter make a verbatim record and transcript
of any hearings in this case. Kindly provide the forms to file in forma pauperis pursuant to,
57.082 Determination of civil indigent status; and 57.081 Costs; right to proceed where
prepayment of costs and payment of filing fees waived
I am disabled and require, inter alia, accommodation to participate in court hearings, and as
described in my communication to General Counsel Ms. Fagan. Kindly provide the necessary
forms and instructions for accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
I believe Marion County Clerk David R. Ellspermann and perhaps others have deprived me of
rights under color of law, against Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242, in the above captioned
foreclosure case. Deprivation of my rights under color of law has occurred in other Florida
courts related to public corruption. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) responded by
letter April 11, 2014 of Brian J. Nadeau, see attached. Mr. Nadeau forwarded the information to
the appropriate FBI Field Office with instructions for me to provide additional information.
Under Article V, Section 2(d), Fla. Const., the Chief Judge [S]shall be responsible for the
administrative supervision of the circuit courts and county courts in his circuit.. Under section
43.26, Florida Statutes, the Chief Judge shall exercise administrative supervision.
Thank you in advance for the courtesy of a response.
Sincerely,

Neil J. Gillespie
