MINUTE ENTRY
The Court has received and considered the following: (1) Stipulation to Judgment as to
Defendants BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP and BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, as Nominee
for Greenpoint Mortgage Funding Inc. (hereinafter “Stipulation”).; (2) Defendants Nichlas and
Christine Spallas’ Objection to Stipulated Judgment Between Plaintiff and Defendant BAC; (3)
Plaintiff’s Response to Objection to Stipulated Judgment Between Plaintiff and Defendant BAC;
(4) Defendants Nichlas and Christine Spallas’ Reply to Plaintiff’s Response to Objection to
Stipulated Judgment; and (5) Defendant Bank of America, N.A.’s Response in Opposition to
Objections to Entry of Stipulation (hereinafter “Bank of America’s Response to Spallas’
Objection”).
Plaintiff and Defendants BAC Home Loan Servicing, LP and BAC Home Loans
Servicing, LP, as nominee for Greenpoint Mortgage Funding, Inc. filed the Stipulation on
October 27, 2011. In the Stipulation and proposed form of Judgment, these parties state that (1)
BAC Home Loan Servicing, LP currently holds first and second Deeds of Trust on Lot 58; (2)
BAC Home Loan Servicing, LP, as nominee for Greenpoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., currently
holds first and second Deeds of Trust on Lot 131; (3) BAC’s second Deeds of Trust are inferior

and subordinate to Plaintiff’s assessment lien rights as to Lots 58 and 131; and (4) Plaintiff’s
assessment lien rights are inferior to BAC’s first Deeds of Trust on both lots.1
Bank of
America’s Response to Spallas’ Objection states, however, that on October 14, 2011, MERS, on
behalf of the original lender (Greenpoint Mortgage) assigned the first Deeds of Trust to Bank of
America, N.A., successor by merger to BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP. Because it appears
that at least some of the information in the Stipulation and proposed form of Judgment is
inaccurate,
IT IS ORDERED denying the Stipulation to Judgment without prejudice to submitting a
new Stipulation and proposed form of Judgment.
ALERT: The Arizona Supreme Court Administrative Order 2011-140 directs the Clerk's
Office not to accept paper filings from attorneys in civil cases. Civil cases must still be initiated
on paper; however, subsequent documents must be eFiled through AZTurboCourt unless an
exception defined in the Administrative Order applies.
NOTICE: Due to rotation of judicial officers, effective June 20, 2012, all civil matters
assigned to the Honorable Linda H. Miles will be assumed by the Honorable Michael D. Gordon.
1 Plaintiff also states in its Response to Spallas’ Objection that “there is no question that BAC Home Loans
Servicing, LP . . . holds both the first and second deeds of trust for Lot 131 and Lot 58 . . . .”

A record of the proceedings is made by audio and/or videotape in lieu of a court reporter.
The Court has received the parties’ Rule 16(b) Joint Pretrial Memorandum and
accompanying proposed form of order.
The Court understands that the parties stipulate to the deadlines reflected in their Rule
16(b) Joint Pretrial Memorandum and proposed form of order.
Discussion is held.
By agreement of the parties,
IT IS ORDERED that the parties shall participate in a mandatory Settlement Conference.
This case is referred to the court’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Office for the appointment of
a judge pro tempore to conduct a settlement conference. Counsel and/or parties will receive a
minute entry from ADR appointing the judge pro tempore. Counsel and any self-represented
litigants shall contact the appointed judge pro tempore to arrange the date, time and location for
the settlement conference. The judge pro tempore is requested to conduct a settlement
conference not later than October 25, 2013. The Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution will
not do the scheduling of the settlement conference so please do not contact that office.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED approving and settling the formal written Order which is
signed by the Court on June 24, 2013 and filed (entered) by the Clerk on June 24, 2013.
Please note: The Court has signed a hard-copy version of the order provided with an
electronically filed pleading. Copies of the order and self-addressed, stamped envelopes were
not available for mailing to the parties. After the order has been scanned and docketed by the
Clerk of Court, copies of this order may be available through ECR Online at
clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov or through AZTurboCourt.gov and from the Public Access Terminals
at the Clerk of Court’s offices located throughout Maricopa County.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED:
1. No expert witnesses, expert opinions, lay witnesses, or exhibits shall be allowed
at trial other than those disclosed in a timely manner, except for good cause
shown or by written agreement of the parties.

2. A telephonic status conference is set for November 1, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. for 15
minutes before Judge Michael D. Gordon for the purpose of assigning a trial
date if the case has not settled.
NOTE: Plaintiff shall be responsible for initiating the conference call by
calling the Court at 602-372-0762, with all participating parties and counsel on
the line at the date and time specified above.
3. Should any discovery disputes arise, any party seeking a discovery order shall,
prior to filing discovery motions, meet and confer pursuant to Rule 37(a)(2)(C)
of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure. Counsel are advised that, as the Court
interprets Rule 37(a)(2)(C), an exchange of correspondence between counsel is
not sufficient to satisfy the “personal consultation” requirement of the Rule,
except in extraordinary circumstances. At a minimum, counsel must speak to
each other by telephone to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith before
involving the Court. After personal consultation, the parties are encouraged to
call the Court, by joint telephone call, to address discovery disputes in order to
resolve issues in a just, speedy and inexpensive manner. See Ariz. R. Civ.
Proc., R.1 (2013).
4. If the parties agree to extensions for time to respond or reply to motions, they
are to advise the Court in writing in order to avoid premature rulings. See, e.g.,
Ariz. R. Civ. Proc., R.7.1 (2013). Further, the parties are encouraged to call the
Court if a motion has been fully briefed—that is, the time has expired for a
response or reply—and a ruling has not been made within 21 days.
5. The dates set forth in the Scheduling Order are FIRM dates and will not be
extended or modified by this Court absent good cause. Lack of preparation will
not ordinarily be considered good cause.
6. This case is removed from the Inactive Calendar and all requirements of Rule
38.1, Ariz.R.Civ.P., are waived until otherwise ordered by the Court.
7. In no less than five days prior to the Status Conference set herein, the parties
shall submit a Joint Status Report to the Court containing a brief history of the
case, the status of discovery, any outstanding discovery disputes, and the status
of the parties’ settlement efforts.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if counsel representing a corporate entity seeks to
withdraw from representation, he/she must advise the Court that he/she has informed the
principals of that corporation that a corporation cannot represent itself in any court proceeding.
4:42 p.m. Matter concludes.
ALERT: The Arizona Supreme Court Administrative Order 2011-140 directs the Clerk's
Office not to accept paper filings from attorneys in civil cases. Civil cases must still be initiated
on paper; however, subsequent documents must be eFiled through AZTurboCourt unless an
exception defined in the Administrative Order applies.
