MOTION TO STRIKE DEFENDANTS' OBJECTION
TI

AND NOTICE OF UNAUTHORIZED PRACTICE OF LAW

COMES NOW the Plaintiff, FIRST AMERICAN BANK, by and through its
ER

undersigned counsel, and in accordance with the applicable Florida Rules of Civil
C

Procedure and R. Regulating Fla. Bar 4-5.5, hereby files this its Motion to Strike
A

Defendants' Objection to October 2, 2017 Hearing (bearing a Certificate of Service date

of September 28, 2017) and Notice of Unauthorized Practice of Law.

T

Since May 1, 2017, the Defendants have ostensibly been representing themselves
O

in this matter on a pro se basis. Neither LAURENCE SCHNEIDER nor STEPHANIE

N

SCH N El DER is an attorney admitted to The Florida Bar and, accordingly, neither of them

can represent the other.

FILED: PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL, SHARON R. BOCK, CLERK, 09/29/2017 03:16:17 PM
 On September 28, 2017, Defendants, LAURENCE SCHNEIDER and STEPHANIE

SCHNEIDER ("Defendants"), purportedly prepared and filed Defendants' Objection to

October 2, 2017 Hearing ("Objection"). A copy of Defendants' Objection is attached

hereto as Exhibit "1." Upon close examination, however, it quickly becomes obvious that

Exhibit "B" attached to the Objection contains a September 28, 2017 (8:15 a.m.) email

PY
from Defendant, LAURENCE SCHNEIDER to Brent Tantillo of "Tantillo Law," 1 wherein

the Defendant directs Brent Tantillo to: "We need to postpone this" - the October 2, 2017

O
scheduled hearing. A copy of Defendant, LAURENCE SCHNEIDER, email to Brent

C
Tantillo is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" to Exhibit "1."

ED
Brent Tantillo, is an attorney licensed to practice in the District of Columbia. 2 Brent

Tantillo is not a member of the Florida Bar nor is he authorized to practice law in this case
FI
by virtue of an order allowing him to appear pro hac vice or otherwise. Respectfully,
TI

Plaintiff would suggest that Defendants' Objection (a somewhat polished legal document)
ER

which was filed just 7 hours and 12 minutes after Defendant's, LAURENCE SCHNEIDER,

email directing Brent Tantillo to "postpone" FIRST AMERICAN's October 2, 2017 hearing
C

(Exhibit "1 ") was drafted by Brent Tantillo (or some other lawyer at "Tantillo Law"), not by
A

the Defendants.
T
O

Tantillo Law operates out of an office in Florida, to wit:

N

Tantillo Law, PLLC

6810 N State Road 7, Suite 300
Coconut Creek, FL 33073

2 On September 26, 2017, Defendants (Appellants in the pending appeal to the 4 th DCA) purportedly
prepared and filed a Motion for Extension of Time to File Initial Brief, which was not signed by either
Defendant. Rather, it was signed by "Brent Tantillo for" the Defendants. A copy of Defendants' Motion for
Extension of Time to File Initial Brief is attached hereto as Exhibit "2." Plaintiff's Response/Objection to
Defendants' Motion for Extension of Time to File Initial Brief is attached hereto as Exhibit "3."

Page 2 of 4
 In this same regard, FIRST AMERICAN would further advise this Court that on

September 1, 2017, Brent Tantillo not only attended the hearing on Defendants

Emergency Request for Temporary Restraining Order (bearing a Certificate of Service

date of August 7, 2017), which this Court is treating as a Motion for Stay of for the

Foreclosure Sale Pending Appeal, but also consulted with and instructed the Defendants

PY
during the hearing.

Shortly stated, Brent Tantillo, either as an individual or as a District of Columbia

O
attorney, by preparing Defendants' Objection, consulting with the Defendants during the

C
September 1, 2017 hearing and signing Defendant's Motion for Extension of Time to File

ED
Initial Brief, has done so in knowing and intentional violation of the Rules Regulating The

Florida Bar. Specifically, Brent Tantillo is engaging in the unauthorized practice of law on
FI
behalf of the Defendants. See R. Regulating Fla. Bar 4-5.5.
TI

WHEREFORE, FIRST AMERICAN BANK requests that Defendants' Objection to

ER

October 2, 2017 Hearing be stricken from the record and that Brent Tantillo be directed

by this Court to cease and desist from the unlicensed practice of law in this litigation,
C

together with such further and other relief as the Court deems just and appropriate under
A

the circumstances.

DEFENDANTS' OBJECTION TO OCTOBER 2, 2017 HEARING

ER

COME NOW Laurence Schneider and Stephanie L Schneider ("Defendants"), and

pursuarit to an Order issued by this Court on September 27, 2017 on Defendants' emergency
C

motion to extend the injunction which was cancelled due to Hurricane Irma, and pursuant to an
A

email sent by counsel for Plaintiff First American Bank ("FAB") setting an arbitrary date without
T

Defendants' consent, hereby opposes FAB's hearing request as follows:

O

In the September 27, 2017 Order [See attached Exhibit A], this Court stated unequivocally
N

that, "ORDERED that the parties shall coordinate a hearing in the newly assigned Division

AH ... It is further ORDERED that a sale date shall not occur prior to the hearing."

[ExhibitA- Order].

Exhibit "1"
 On September 28, 2017, counsel for FAB sentDefendants the following email [See

attached Exhibit B]:

"As you are both aware, the referenced Foreclosure Litigation was transferred to

Judge Lisa Small on September 19, 2017. Since that transfer, our office has been

attempting to obtain hearing dates from Judge Small's office with respect.to (1) FAB's

PY
Motion to Reset Foreclosure Sale and (2) your Motions to Reset Hearing on

Injunction (regarding Schneider's Motion to Stay the Foreclosure Sale Pending

O
AppeaUthe establishment of a Supersedcas Bond). It is developing, however, that both

C
motion calendar and special-set hearings can be difficult to obtain in front of Judge

ED
Small on short notice; we are currently advised thather earliest available hearing

date (of any type) are motion calendars at 8:45 a.m. on October 16, 18 and 19, 2017.
FI
Unfortunately, Acting Chief Judge Peter Blanc's Administrative Order dated
TI

September 14,2017 (copy attached for ease of reference), requires FAB's Motion to
ER

Reset Foreclosure Sale to rescheduled within 30 days from that Administrative Order.

Accordingly, FAB does not have the luxury of waiting until the week of October 16,
C

2017 to reschedule the Foreclosure Sale. Laurence Schneider's emails makeit clear
A

that he remains available to attend the motion calendar hearing we obtained in front
T

ofJudge Small at 8:45 a.m. on Monday, October 2, 2017." [Exhibit B- Email]

O

Defendants dispute this one".'sided meet and confer on the hearing date, and atno time did
N

either Defendant indicate to FAB the willingness to attend a hearing set by FAB.

To be clear, the September 27, 2017 Order_ indicated that the parties "shall coordinate a

hearing";

2
 However, FAB has arbitrarily picked and chosena hearing date on the Hon.Judge Small's

calendar, in total ignorance of this Court's order and without Defendants' consent.

Defendants are not able to attend the. FAB set October 2, 2017 hearing, and have indicated

as much to FAB andits counsel of record.

While FAB grudgingly notes that October 16, 18 and 19,2017 are available for a hearing

PY
on the matter, Defendants request one of those three days to conductthe hearing on extending the

injunction in place and to determine what, if any, supersedes bond would be required to continue

O
•said injunction.

C
As Defendants are the moving party on the motion, it is only proper that Defendants be

ED
afforded the right to set a hearing date conducive with their respective schedules, and not be

pigeonholed into agreeing to any arbitrary date FAB desires to set.

FI
PlaintiffFAB will not suffer any prejudice or hindrance to their case by having the hearing
TI

on a mutually amicable date, as Ordered by this Court.

ER

As such, Defendants object to the October 2, 2017 hearing date set by FAB without [Bold

Emphasis Added] Defendants' consideration or agreement, and respectfully request this Court set
C

the hearing on either October 16, 18 or 19,2017, in accordance with Hon. Judge Small's
A

calendar.
T

WHEREFORE, For the above and foregoing reasons, Defendants respectfully object to
O

the arbitrary October 2, 2017 hearing date set by FAB, request that the matter be heard on either
N

October 16, 18 or 19, 2017, and any such other relief as maybe afforded at this time

THIS MATTER came before the Court on Prose Defendant's Laurence and Stephanie L

Subject: First American Bank v. Schneider - Foreclosure Litigation

As you are both aware, the referenced Foreclosure Litigation was transferred to Judge
FI
Lisa Small on September 19, 2017 Since that transfer, our office has been attempting to
obtain hearing dates from Judge Small's office with respect to (1) FAB's Motion to Reset
Foreclosure Sale and (2) your Motions to Reset Hearing on Injunction (regarding
TI

Schneider's Motion to Stay the Foreclosure Sale Pending Appeal/the establishment of a

Supersedeas Bond)
ER

It is developing, however, that both motion calendar and special set hearings can be
C

difficult to obtain in front of Judge Small on short notice; we are currently advised that her
earliest available hearing date (of any type) are motion calendars at 8:45 a.m. on October
A

16, 18 and 19, 2017.

T

Unfortunately, Acting Chief Judge Peter Blanc's Administrative Order dated September
O

14, 2017 (copy attached for ease of reference), requires FAB's Motion to Reset
Foreclosure Sale to rescheduled within 30 days from that Administrative Order.
N

Accordingly, FAB does not have the luxury of waiting until the week of October 16, 2017 to
reschedule the Foreclosure Sale.

Laurence Schneider's emails make it clear that he remains available to attend the motion
calendar hearing we obtained in front of Judge Small at 8 45 am on Monday, October 2,
2017. Moreover, those emails also make it clear that Stephanie Schneider will retain legal
counsel this week; whatever attorney she might retain can attend Monday's hearing on her
behalf.

Exhibit "B"
 We take this opportunity to advise you that the undersigned will be attending Judge
Small's Motion Calendar at 8:45 a.m. on Monday, October 2, 2017, at which time FAB's
Motion to Reset Foreclosure Sale is scheduled. In addition, as per the attached Re-
Notice, we are going to ask Judge Small to specially-set a one-hour evidentiary hearing on
your Motions to Stay the Foreclosure Sale Pending Appeal/establish Supersedeas Bond.

Be advised that we have no intention of arguing any substantive Motions or positions at

Monday's hearing. The hearing is ministerial in nature, it is designed only to obtain
hearing dates from Judge Small on the two Motions referenced above and neither Motion
requires any significant preparation.

PY
While I hope to see one or both of you (or your respective attorneys) on Monday, October
2, 2017, at 8:45 a.m., be advised that I will be appearing before Judge Small at that

O
time/date.

undersigned attorneys, and pursuant to Fla. R. App. P. 9.300(a) and R. Regulating

A

Fla. Bar 4-5.5, hereby files its Response/Objection to Appellants', LAURENCE

T

SCHNEIDER and STEPHANIE SCHNEIDER, Motion for Extension of Time to

O

File Initial Brief (bearing an unsigned Certificate of Service date of September 25,
N

2017).

The Appellants are ostensibly representing themselves in this appeal on a pro

se basis. Neither LAURENCE SCHNEIDER nor STEPHANIE SCHNEIDER is an

Exhibit "3"
attorney admitted to The Florida Bar and, accordingly, neither of them can represent

the other.

This Court, first on August 16, 2017 and then again on August 28, 2017, made

it clear that:

PY
"Appellants are reminded that all filings must be signed by
both appellants."

O
Order dated August 16, 2017; and

C
"By order dated August 16, 2017, this court directed
appellants to file an amended notice of appeal with both

ED
appellants' signatures and advising them that all future
pleadings must be signed by both appellants."
FI
Order dated August 28, 2017.
TI

The Appellants' Motion for Extension of Time to File Initial Brief was filed
ER

with the Fourth District Court of Appeal on Tuesday, September 26, 2017. In blatant

violation of this Court's August 16 and August 28, 2017 Orders, neither
C

LAURENCE SCHNEIDER nor STEPHANIE SCHNEIDER signed the Motion for

A

Extension of Time to File Initial Brief. Moreover, the Motion for Extension of Time
T

to File Initial Brief concludes with an unsigned Certificate of Service block dated
O
N

September 25, 2017. Appellants never served Appellee a copy of their Motion for

Extension of Time to File Initial Brief.

Appellee would also submit that the Appellants' Motion for Extension of

Time to File Initial Brief, while not signed by either Appellant, was signed by "Brent

Page 2 of 5
Tantillo for" the Appellants. Appellee would further submit that Brent Tantillo is

not a member of The Florida Bar despite the fact that he is apparently authorized to

practice law in the District of Columbia. Appellee would also submit that Brent

Tantillo, despite not being a member of The Florida Bar or authorized to practice

PY
law in this case by virtue of an order allowing him to appear pro hac vice or

otherwise, in some fashion operates out of an office in Florida, to wit:

O
Tantillo Law, PLLC

C
6810 N State Road 7, Suite 300
Coconut Creek, FL 33073

ED
Shortly stated, Brent Tantillo, either as an individual or as a District of Columbia
FI
attorney, by signing Appellants' Motion for Extension of Time to File Initial Brief,
TI

did so in knowing and intentional violation of this Court's Orders dated August 16,
ER

2017 and August 28, 2017. Moreover, by signing and filing pleadings with this

Court, Brent Tantillo is engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. See R.

C

Regulating Fla. Bar 4-5.5.

A

WHEREFORE, FIRST AMERICAN BANK demands that the Appellants'

T

Motion for Extension of Time to File Initial Brief be stricken from the record and
O
N

that the Appellants' Motion be denied, together with such further and other relief as

the Court deems just and appropriate under the circumstances.
