The district court could have and arguably should have held any decision under advise from the circuit court as the issues in Appellants original appeal were essentially the same as the ones in the MTD, but chose instead to rule on the MTD, denying in part and granting in part the MTD and chose to do so in a harsh manner not allowing Appellant leave to amend, which was an order issued in error (both in law and in form, as mistakes were present in the order), as stated below.

certain of Appellants claims that either erred or otherwise overlooked substantial matters of law in its decision and resultant order and that his appeal to such can be properly heard by this court without incurring further damages.

Appellant has already filed his opening brief on appeal in relation to a

previous order of the district court vacating an ordered Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) on August 15, 2011.

Plaintiff had filed a second Ex Parte Application for a TRO preventing

That application and request for TRO by Plaintiff which was granted by the District Court on July 7, 2011, and further set time and date regarding its Order To Show Cause (OSC) why a preliminary injunction should not issue. Plaintiff

Defendant-Appellee complied with.

In its order granting the TRO and issuing the OSC, the District Court stated: Mr. Carney has made a showing that ReconTrust might not be the proper trustee with legal authority to conduct the trustees sale scheduled for July 11, 2011. The issue is whether MERS properly substituted ReconTrust as

trustee in place of First American Title Company prior to MERS assigning its beneficial interest in the deed of trust to US Bank, and whether US Bank has approved of the foreclosure sale.

Appellant argued void instruments (SOT and NTS). In effect, the district court validated the DOT and NTS by its order. Appellant has clearly stated void (not voidable) written instruments. As to the SOT and NTS issued and filed in the public record by MERS naming Recontrust, MERS in foreclosing in its own name clearly violates the strict statutes requiring proper parties and governing non-judicial foreclosure.

As a result of the courts order discharging the TRO and OSC regarding the preliminary injunction and improper granting of dismissal with prejudice, the sale of my property is now scheduled to be held on November 14, 2011, at 12:00pm at the County Courthouse in Santa Ana, CA which will only add more damages to the already significant damages Appellant has incurred.

It is to be noted that Defendant BondCorp has not made any answer at all in this case. Proper service has been executed and Appellant has even had telephone and email communications with BondCorp, notifying he and them of motion and

There is no documented assignment, allonge or other such instrument in the record from BondCorp to any known entity.

ARGUMENT

This Court considers four factors in determining whether to grant a stay pending appeal: (1) whether the stay applicant has made a strong showing that he

injured absent a stay; (3) whether issuance of the stay will substantially injure the other parties interested in the proceeding; and (4) where the public interest lies. Golden Gate Restaurant Assn v. City and County of San Francisco, 512 F.3d 1112, 1115 (9th Cir. 2008)(quoting Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776 (1987)).

This is particularly true of the order concerning both claims of

Error occurred and that Appellant was not prejudiced by such. They argue in error and the District Court likewise decided in error relying upon such argument. In System Inv. Corp v. Union Bank, 21 Cal. App. 3rd 137, 153 (1971): []It has also been said (34 Cal. Jur.2d, Mortgages, pp. 161-162) that a sale under a power in a deed of trust has been considered a harsh method of foreclosing the rights of the grantor; that courts have scrutinized such sales with great care; and

The District Court Erred In Not Properly Applying Clearly

Established Statutes And Laws In California Designed To Protect Consumers. Application of 2932.5 to deeds of trust advances Californias statutory scheme to protect borrowers, consumers and otherwise, from a wrongful

foreclosure. Further 2924 et seq. provides the statutory scheme by which nonjudicial foreclosure proceeds in California.

California Law is also clear in its Civil Code and in 2934a(1)(A) says all

referenced in more detail above. The DOT is also very specific in this regard and is such in accordance with California law. Nowhere in the unlawful SOT is US BANK or AURORA mentioned nor does either of its interest, agreement or

Lender named, as the DOT requires it to. Even if MERS could convince this court that is was at one time in fact a Beneficiary, it certainly would be presently a junior one to US BANK, as it for value received, and transferred ALL beneficial interest in the DOT and Note and monies and interest accrued to US BANK and no record contra wise appears in public or otherwise.

Instead they argue that MERS can, for value, transfer assign all its beneficial interest and somehow remain Beneficiary, when it is clear that only US

BANK is entitled to the monies, interest and basically the benefits of the DOT and Note. They also more sanely argue that MERS now acts as Nominee, too, but as nominee, it must name the Beneficiary or all Beneficiaries, which it has failed to do in the SOT.

Therefore, the SOT and Notice of Trustees sale instruments can be of no

void. In Miller v. Cote, 179 Cal.Rptr. 753, (Ct of App. Fourth Dist. Div. 2 1982), the Court, in calling the notice of default fatally defective (which here the case is the SOT, but Appellant has also averred that the Notice of Default is equally fatally

by a trustees sale pursuant to a deed of trust is set forth in Civil Code section 2924, et seq. The statutory requirements must be strictly complied with, and a trustees sale based on a statutorily deficient notice of default is invalid. (System Inv. Corp. v. Union Bank (1971) 21 Cal.App.3d 137, 152-153, 98 Cal.Rptr. 735; see California Mortgage and Deed of Trust Practice (Cont.Ed. Bar 1979) s 6.40, p. 295; see also Bisno v.

The fact that US BANK or AURORA is no where named in the SOT or any consent of it is given is not a procedural irregularity or harmless error.

How Can Appellant Be Prejudiced By Void Documents?

The District Court in its vacating of the TRO and subsequent dismissal of COAs for wrongful foreclosure and cancellation of written instruments never

Appellant states are void. The Court never states that the written instruments in question are valid, but by its actions validate them. Instead, it seems to reach to remote and unrelated issues of equity, which is fraught with serious questions of law as to:

Appellant again avers that the instruments, ab initio are void and seeded and founded in fraud and any consequent documents cannot be valid. Even if the written instruments that defendants rely upon to usurp his property were based upon a valid DOT and Note, they are not valid and in fact clearly void by California statutes as has been advanced above.

Additionally, any offset of fraudulent monies received as a result of the fraud and damages due as a result must be taken into consideration by the courts. As the California Appeals Court found in Onofrio v. Rice (1997) 55

Cal.App.4th 413 [64 Cal.Rptr.2d 74]: "[A] tender may not be required where it

would be inequitable to do so." (4 Miller & Starr, Cal. Real Estate, supra, Deeds of Trust & Mortgages ? 9:154, at pp. 508-509, fn. 86.) "Similarly, when the person making the claim has a counter-claim or set-off against the beneficiary, ... it is

amount due, a tender is not required .... Also, if the action attacks the validity of the underlying debt, a tender is not required since it would constitute an affirmative of the debt." (Id. at p. 512, fns. omitted.).

accepted in California law. This is an important distinction as to the void or voidable aspects of the written instruments in question. Appellant avers here, and has in his FAC that there has never been a contract between he and Defendant BondCorp Realty Services, Inc. as Countrywide was truly the party to any contract or agreement and was not named as such and more so, was fraudulently concealed from Appellant as the true party

Further, in Dimrock v.

Defendants act hurriedly and without authority not because they are

uninformed or have made an excusable mistake, but rather because they wish to elude the central facts and claims against them, hold the wrongful trustees sale

The facts are that BondCorp, who has yet to respond to any complaint or motion related to this case, was in fact named as Grantee when it never proffered any funds and was used by Countrywide to both gain secret, concealed fees and

misrepresentations and related actions.

Meanwhile, Appellant has had to defend and counter all such actions and to drag out all the facts, all while in the face of losing his family home and efforts to understand what options would be available to him to avert such a catastrophic result.

Up until August/September of 2010, Appellant was resigned to the fact that

received and further researched the information regarding the assignment/transfer of his DOT and Note to US BANK (June 2010) that was entirely first time news to him, that he began to understand and realize the fraud, malfeasance and

damages for.

The facts of the case as pertains to BondCorp are clear and undisputed. BondCorp was not the lender. It only acted as such to attain secret fees. BondCorp utilized illegal, fraudulent means to sell and convince Appellant that the loan BondCorp wished to engage him in was in his best interests, when it was not and that all the facts represented to him regarding the alleged loan were true, when

They state in their void Notice of Trustees sale an amount of $791,751.55 as due and

indeed worthy of review by this court.

Fr au d. co

The district court dismissed Appellants causes of action for wrongful foreclosure, cancellation of written instruments and California UCL violations with prejudice, effectively closing the door on Appellant in his effort to try and argue

those causes of action. Therefore, the appellate court has jurisdiction and right to

review that order and Appellant has timely appealed them and that his claims live for such review.

VIII. The District Court Seriously Erred In Dismissing Appellants Claims

The Ninth Circuit and other US appeals courts have consistently ruled that pro se litigants are to be afforded the widest interpretation and instruction of the courts in order to properly assert their claims.

a pro se complaint the district court must provide the litigant with notice of the deficiencies in his complaint in order to ensure that the litigant uses the opportunity to amend effectively. Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1261.(quoting Ferdik. V. Bonzelet and Noll v. Carlson)(emphasis added)(Forgive incomplete cite). Because the district court dismissed Plaintiffs original complaint with leave to amend with no notice or statement of any deficiencies contained in the original

complaint, he is to be afforded the ability with instruction of this court as to deficiencies to amend his first amended complaint (FAC) so that he may

clearly understand the reasons why his complaint cannot proceed as a matter of law or as a matter of substance.

In fact, Appellants FAC contained two COAs that were not in the original complaint. One new COA was for Wrongful Foreclosure and the other was a new COA for Cancellation of Written Instruments (related to wrongful foreclosure).

Appellant never heard from the district court on his complaint for those two COAs and therefore never had an opportunity to understand any defects within

This court has provided neither notice nor instruction in its present order to dismiss with prejudice nor had it done so with Plaintiffs original complaint. Therefore the district court erred in dismissing with prejudice Appellants claims

Appellees (those properly represented by and to whom by, to this court) do not want and feverishly attempt to avoid a reasoned adjudication of the serious questions of law contained in Appellants complaint, motions, statements and assertions.

Fr au d. co

Appellant cannot calculate, this does not in any way diminish nor demean his claims.

Appellant is here now before this court to seek its judgment as to his family home and property and the fraud and unlawful acts taken against him and it, which for generations before and after will be affected by and that Appellant trusts to - a decision that it will justly take and deliver as to the fraud and unlawful acts

Appellant has asserted as well as the errant defenses and orders of the district court

Therefore, for the strong showing of law and facts as well as reasons, the Court should stay the district courts order (a) vacating the TRO and (b) dismissing with prejudice certain of his causes of action pending resolution of the Carneys
