LEGAL NOTICE GIVEN: There is a $23 million dollar Lien on this property against BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON. If you are considering purchasing this property, DON’T! The people you are dealing with are criminals and all involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If you are a property owner in New Mexico, be afraid, be outraged! This could happen to you as it has to others with targeted properties. Touchstone is now closed due to circumstances beyond our control. After their hostile takeover and 6 month decimation of the Properties at Touchstone, leaving nothing intact, criminals headed by Rose Ramirez and Associates, Tiffany and Bosco, Bank of New York Mellon, US Bank, S&S Financial, and predecessors Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase, and [Reported individuals’ names have been removed here], committing fraud on the court, lieing to and making complicit District Court Judges on record in contempt of higher court orders providing a Writ of Assistance to Taos County Sheriff’s Department, the mendacious criminals are now offering it for sale with the ironic challenge to, “Revive this property back to its original glory,” after they themselves have destroyed it, such an uncalled for tragedy. Plaintiffs’ agent certified that she served me; she did not. She was involved in the physical eviction of nine people with no notice, she denied access to recover documents and belongings, now she is the Realtor offering the property for sale considerably below value! Talk about Conflict of Interest!! Touchstone was a viable business on the day of the abrupt wrongful eviction at the start of season, May 1, 2023, with a totally booked Memorial Day weekend, a totally booked June concert in the park, and bookings into September all paid, in-hand deposits had to be refunded, over $26,000. Three Documents dictate the status of this claim in MY favor, NOT in favor of Plaintiffs or their Predecessors and Successors: On June 29, 2017, New Mexico Court of Appeals ruled in my favor that US Bank does not have Standing to Foreclose, reversing Judge McElroy’s decision. On January 7, 2010, the Order and Final Decree was handed down by Federal Judge Robert H. Jacobvitz Closing Case 11-05-10321, Order Granting US Trustee’s Motion to Dismiss or Convert to Chapter 7 after five years, calling the case fully administered and substantially consummated, READ THE FOOTNOTES. Plaintiffs failed to appear at the last hearing and were given two weeks to appeal the decision; they failed to do so. August 14, 2008, Stipulated Order by Federal Judge, McFeeley, 11-05-10321, explains that secured creditors could foreclose as of May 19, 2006, with Confirmation of the Plan, reverting parties to their status prior to filing of Stay on January 19, 2005, six years from that date is January 19, 2011, but the Final Decree in my favor takes precedent; all secured creditors are treated the same. Even with the knowledge that Federal Chapter 11 court had litigated and judged this case, District Court Judge Shannon based his decision to issue a Writ of Assistance on fraudulent information, altered note indorsement and fabricated documents filed by the Plaintiffs. Judge Shannon who had knowledge of the Chapter 11 Decree from his time in Magistrate Court was in contempt of higher court orders when he chose to issue a Writ for Assistance with a license to steal, after he deemed that I failed to appear at a hearing on August 10, 2022, for his online court at which I most certainly did appear along with my attorney, Mr. Padilla. I drove all the way from Taos to Albuquerque to be at that Zoom hearing, and I was at that hearing. At the last minute, the hearing was moved from 9:30 AM to 9:00 AM and switched from Zoom to Google Talk; nonetheless, we were in attendance waiting to be let into the chat room as we listened to banter in Spanish and English for about 15 minutes being carried on in the courtroom, then the Clerk came on to say, “Mr. Padilla, you are excused.” We were in attendance at that hearing and the Clerk would not let us into the chat room. Mr. Padilla was sent to hospital that day in an ambulance, and he withdrew from my case on May 9, 2023, after the wrongful eviction on May 1, 2023, due to health issues. I then filed approximately 20 emergency documents Pro Se in the courts by May 15, 2023, to quash the unlawful Writ, all of which were ignored. At the next hearing, in September, 2023, I went to the Courthouse in Taos to appear in person, and was made to sit in the hallway outside the courtroom on my cell phone as instructed by the Court Clerk because we were not allowed inside the Courtroom, COVID was a non issue at that time. The Clerk refused to file exhibits that I twice presented in person.
I purchased the property outright in 1983 with no mortgage. The black and white spreadsheet [provided upon request] shows revenues from 1983 that have nothing to do with mortgages and show an equity in the property of around 2.2 million dollars sans any mortgages. The property was burned by arsonists, November 22, 1992, and was rebuilt with insurance monies by December 1993 with 2 rooms to rent. There was no mortgage until 1996 when funds were needed to finish remodel of 110A to complete ten rental rooms. This whole fiasco has been an unconscionable travesty of willful theft and grand larceny. This has been a failure of the judicial system not knowing what the right hand is doing while the left hand is allowing irreparable harm come to innocent people, destroying a valuable icon of Taos.
