Court of Florida.
Thank you for bringing this matter to the attention of The Florida Bar. If you have any questions
concerning the Committee's action, please feel free to contact me. We will respond to your
public records request by separate cover.

CEASE AND DESIST AFFIDAVIT
STATE OF FLORIDA TFB Fll..E NO.: 20191041(17A)
COUNTY OF BROWARD
BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, duly authorized to administer oaths, personally
appeared MARTY STONE, who after first being duly sworn, upon oath, deposes and says as
follows:
1. I am not a merrmer of The Florida Bar and am not licensed to practice law in the
State of Florida. I am licensed to practice law in the States of Georgia and Tennessee (inactive).
2. I currently reside in the State of Florida and am CEO of McCalla Raymer Leibert
Pierce, ILC ("McCalla"), a Foreign Limited Liability Company registered with the Florida
: Department of State Division of Corporations.
3. I understand it constitutes a contempt of the Supreme Court of Florida for an

unlicensed individual to engage in the practice of law and/or hold himself out as authorized to so
practice in Florida.
4. I Wlderstand it constitutes the unlicensed practice of law for persons not licensed
to practice in Florida, but licensed in other jurisdictions, to either expressly or impliedly,
personally or by use of advertisement, hold themselves out as members of The Florida Bar and
generally authorized to practice law in Florida or able to render assistance with legal matters.
5. I understand persons not licensed to practice law in Florida, but licensed in other
jurisdictions, may not perfonn legal services or give legal advice to or for Florida residents on
matters of Florida substantive law unless otherwise authorized by court rule, case law,
administrative rule, or Rules Regulating The Florida Bar.
6. I understand persons not licensed to practice law in Florida, but licensed in other
jurisdictions, may not advertise to the public either through the media, by telephone, by
facsimile, or other direct solicitation that they are qualified and able to provide legal services in
Florida or relating to Florida law.
7. I understand an attorney licensed in a state other than Florida may not appear in
any Florida state court as a representative of a party or otherwise participate in any Florida
litigation pending in State Court on behalf of any party unless admitted pro hac vice pursuant to
the dictates of Rule 2.510 of the Florida Rules of Judicial Administration. I understand as an
attorney licensed in a state other than Florida and being a resident of Florida, I am only eligtble
to be admitted to practice before the state court pro hac vice in Florida if I have an application
pending for admission to The Florida Bar and have not previously been denied admission to The
Florida Bar.
8. I understand once an interstate law firm such as McCalla has been established
under the dictates of The Florida Bar v. Savitt, 363 So. 2d 559 (Fla. 1978), an out-of-state
attorney's name may only appear on the letterhead and business card of the law firm if his
jurisdictional limitations are clearly noted on the letterhead or business card indicating the
attorney is not authorized to practice in Florida.
9. I understand an out-of-state member of an interstate law fum may give advice on

the laws of jurisdictions other than Florida to non-Florida clients in transactions with persons
residing in Florida or with business enterprises having their principal place of business in Florida
provided the nonmember of The Florida Bar giving the advice is in Florida on a transitory basis
and provided a merrmer of The Florida Bar handles matters involving Florida law. I also
understand I may only engage in transitory professional activities that are incidental to
essentially out-of-state transactions and I may only coordinate supervisory activities in
essentially multi-state transactions in which matters of Florida law are handled by Irembers of
The Florida Bar.
10. I understand an out-of-state member of an interstate law firm may give legal
advice concerning a right or obligation governed by federal law only if the lawyer is in Florida
on a transitory basis and it must initially be made clear to the client and iInrrediately confirmed
in writing that the lawyer is not a member of The Florida Bar.
11. I understand where there is a federal law or statute that specifically allows
practice before a federal office or agency, Florida continues to maintain control over the practice
of law within its borders except to the limited extent necessary for the accomplishment of the
federal objectives.
12. I therefore understand as an attorney licensed in a state other than Florida, I may
not operate or maintain a law office in '-Florida, including but not limited to (a) maintaining a law
office in Florida as my primary physical business location; (b) perfonning legal services or
giving legal advice to or for Florida residents on matters of Florida substantive law; (c)
exercising direct managerial responsibility for the Florida offices managed by partners and
members of The Florida Bar; and (d) exercising supervisory control over any associate of the law
firm who is a member of The Florida Bar with respect to matters involving Florida law.
13. I ftuther understand as I am not a member of Ibe Florida Bar, I may not identify
myself as the managing partner of McCalla for the Florida office or use the firn1' s Florida
address as my primary professional address. I agree to discontinue use of any business cards,
firm letterhead, advertisements, retainer agreements, or any other fo~ or correspondences
using a F'lorida address, Florida phone number, and the title "attorney," "attorney at law," or any
other similar title.
14. I understand an out-of-state lawyer nlaY be a member of a firm operating as an

interstate law firm in the State of Florida so long as it continues to remain a bona fide partnership
that operates according to a partnership agreement which does not provide that profits and losses
are shared among its members solely on die basis of the proportionate business either generated
or handled by its Florida office and the partnership agreement clearly delineates the name of a
member of The 'Florida Bar serving as the Florida Managing Partner.
15. I affirmatively agree to ensure McCalla's advertising and website do not list my
primary physical business location in Florida.
16. I will ensure McCalla will promptly name a partner licensed in Florida as the
managing partner for the Florida offices with the Florida Department of State Division of
Corporations and remove me as the 'Title Officer."
17. I certify I have read and will abide by the following decisions of the Supreme
Court of Florida: The Florida Bar v. Savitt, 363-So. 2d 559 (Fla. 1978); Chandris v. Yanakakis,
668 So. 2d ] 80 (Fla. 1995); The Florid(/, Bar v. Tate, 552 So. 2d 1106 (Fla. 1989); The Florida
Bar v. Kaiser, 397 So. 2d 1132 (Fla. 1981); State ex rei. The Florida Bar v. Sperry, ]40 So. 2d
587 (Fla. 1962), judgment vacated on other grounds 373 U.S. 379, 83 S. Ct. 1322 (1963).
] 8. I understand I am not admitting any wrongdoing and I agree I will not engage in
any activity that constitutes the unlicensed practice of law in Florida unless and until I am
admitted to practice in this state by the Supreme Court of Florida.

RE: Unlicensed Practice of Law Investigation of Marty Stone

Florida Bar File No. 20191041(17A)
Dear Mr. Tomasino:
The Florida Bar has closed its file in the Unlicensed Practice of Law Investigation of Marty Stone with a
Cease and Desist Affidavit. It appears counsel for Mr. Stone changed the affidavit from a Cease and
Desist Affidavit (attached) to an "Affidavit" (attached). A closure letter dated April 29, 2020 from Ali
Vasquez is attached but did not contain the Affidavit of Mr. Stone. I made a records request to The
Florida Bar for the case file, which contains 386 pages.
Mr. Stone claimed to be the managing partner of the law firm n.k.a. McCalla Raymer Leibert Pierce,
LLC. (MRLP). Florida Division of Corporation records show Mr. Stone as the sole managing partner of
MRLP from April 2, 2018 through March 30, 2020, see attached the Foreign Limited Liability Company
Annual Reports for 2018 - 2020.
A Foreign Limited Liability Company is a legal fiction permitted by law, which MRLP relied upon to
operate a law firm in Florida. However, Mr. Stone’s Cease and Desist Affidavit shows he knowingly
broke the law (while not admitting guilt) and in doing so fatally undermined the legal authority of
MRLP to operate a law firm in Florida.
Therefore, I ask that the Florida Supreme Court strike every pleading filed by or on behalf of MRLP for
5/15/2020
Page 2 of 7
the period April 2, 2018 through March 30, 2020. Furthermore, it is not clear whether MRLP operated
lawfully in Florida prior to April 2, 2018. That would require an investigation.
None of the lawyers for MRLP filed a notice of appearance (Rule 9010(b)) in my chapter 13 bankruptcy
case, 3:19-bk-00808-JAF. Curtis Alan Wilson, Bar ID 77669, misidentified the firm MRLP in his Reply
Brief in 5D2019-3479. Therefore, I believe a reasonable person could conclude that MRLP and Mr.
Stone acted with malice aforethought to fatally undermine the legal authority of MRLP to operate a law
firm in Florida for the purpose of avoiding liability for its tortious behavior as a foreclosure mill.
It appears MRLP may have even collaborated with the Florida Supreme Court to operate as a lawless
foreclosure mill in the deprivation of homeowner rights under color of law (18 U.S.C. § 242). Again, I
ask that the Florida Supreme Court strike every pleading filed by or on behalf of MRLP for the period
April 2, 2018 through March 30, 2020, and investigate the status of MRLP prior to April 2, 2018. Thank
you.
Sincerely,
/s/

RE: Unlicensed Practice of Law Investigation of Marty Stone File No.20191041(17A)
Ms. Zelniker-Presser:
Enclosed is a letter I received from Ali Vasquez dated August 6, 2019 regarding the UPL
investigation of Marty Stone, File No.20191041(17A), that states,
This is to notify you that I have completed our staff level evaluation of your
unlicensed practice of law complaint against the above-referenced individual and have
now referred the file to the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Unlicensed Practice of Law
Committee "A" for further investigation and resolution. The investigating committee
member assigned to the file may contact you with questions or a request for
information. You will be notified of the final disposition of this matter.
Mr. Stone is the sole manager of McCalla, Raymer, Leibert & Pierce, LLC, in Florida, a law firm
operating unlawfully in Florida, and without authorization in my Chapter 13 bankruptcy, Neil
Gillespie, Debtor, Case No. 3:19-bk-00808-JAF, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida,
Jacksonville Division.
5/15/2020
Page 6 of 7
Tellingly Ali’s letter failed to identify you as Chair, or mention that she is a member of UPL
Committee A of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit as staff liaison. I found information online for the
Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Unlicensed Practice of Law Committee "A", see attached.
Recently Rick Courtemanche, Deputy General Counsel of The Florida Bar, did not disagree with my
characterization of The Bar as an ongoing criminal organization (18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968) [the
RICO statute] that subjects the population to a deprivation of rights under color of law (18 U.S.C. §
242), and in my view its usurpation of government may meet the definition of domestic terrorism (18
U.S.C. § 2331(5)) and/or crimes against humanity that subjects the population to a deprivation of
rights under color of law (18 U.S.C. § 242). My email to Rick is attached.
That explains the deprivation of rights under color of law in my bankruptcy case:
z U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Jerry A. Funk, member of TFB, a domestic terror organization.
z Trustee: Douglas W. Neway, et al, members of TFB, a domestic terror organization
z Melbalynn Fisher, Kenia L Molina, Ashley Prager Popowitz and the gang at McCalla,
Raymer, Leibert & Pierce, LLC, all members of TFB, a domestic terror organization.
And the investigators of lawyer misconduct, all members of TFB, a domestic terror organization.
Even the Clerk of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, MDFL, Jacksonville, may be compromised. See
attached DEBTOR’S NOTICE OF FILING CRIMINAL COMPLAINT TO FBI FOR REVERSE
MORTGAGE SOLUTIONS, INC. AND MCCALLA RAYMER LIEBERT PIERCE LLC
Filed on September 11, 2019, the above pleading still does not appear on PACER. Note to Gull
Weaver of the Clerk’s office, wgull@flmb.uscourts.gov
I do not expect the FBI to take action, in fact, Special Agent In Charge Eric W. Sporre is gone from
his post. Perhaps The Bar’s Executive Director Mr. Doyle knows why SAIC Spoore is gone; Doyle is
a former FBI agent himself. The Bar did not find misconduct in the complaint when submitted as an
ethics complaint. The Florida courts did not find anything unlawful either.
Ms. Zelniker-Presser, what is the status of UPL Investigation File No.20191041(17A)?
Thank you.
