On or about September 22, 2016 I was expecting Stone & Gerken, P.A. lawyers

representing the Plaintiff to provide video by camera 4 to the Court, not to me by U.S. Mail,
but through the Florida e-Filing Portal. See paragraphs 5 through 7 in my motion to extend time,
DEFENDANTS MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE AMENDED ANSWER
Filing # 46347726 E-Filed 09/12/2016 11:52:27 PM
5. The Plaintiff has not filed a complete Complaint for me to file a responsive amended
answer. Paragraph 11 of the defective affidavit (violated F.S. 117.05(4)) of Steve
Balius that accompanied Plaintiffs Complaint and is incorporated therein, states,
11. That of his own personal knowledge, a video was taken by camera 4 located
near the desk of SECO employee Carol Marrero at the SECO Ocala office on
April 11, 2016. This camera and associated equipment produced a true and
correct digital video recording which is being submitted to the court. It depicts the
interaction between SECO staff and Gillespie. The video equipment used is sound
and the video taken April 11, 2016 at the Ocala office has not been tampered with
or altered in any manner.
6. Twice I confirmed with the Clerk of the Court, through counsel Greg Harrell, that the
Plaintiff has NOT submitted video by camera 4 to the Court.

DEFENDANTS REQUEST TO THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE FOR INVESTIGATION

To: Thomas J. Marshall, General Counsel and Executive Vice President

7. Without video by camera 4, and the opportunity to view the video, it is impossible
for me to file a competent amended answer to the complaint as required by the Order of
Judge Scott.
15.

As of today, Stone & Gerken, P.A. lawyers representing the Plaintiff have not provide

video by camera 4 to me; or to the Court, that I know about.

16.

USPS Tracking # or Article Number(s) 7015-0640-0001-8093-2392 was previously used

by Stone & Gerken, P.A. lawyers on Certified Mail to me on April 14, 2016.
A. Exhibit 5 is a Notice of Trespass sent by USPS First Class Mail, by Kevin M. Stone,
Stone & Gerken, P.A., General Counsel for Sumter Electric Cooperative, Inc., addressed to me at
home, and that I received at my home:
Neil J. Gillespie
8092 SW 115th Loop
Ocala, Florida 34481
The bottom of the letter shows: Certified Mail No. 7015-0640-0001-8093-2392.
17.

Since I received the letter by first class mail, and by email, I deemed that sufficient, and

did not pick up the same letter sent Certified Mail No. 7015-0640-0001-8093-2392, and
supposedly waiting at the Paddock Branch Post Office shown on PS Form 3849, July 2013.

I did not pick up the item shown in Exhibit 8, and assume it was returned to the sender.
WHEREFORE, I respectfully request The U.S. Postal Service For Investigation, by and

through Thomas J. Marshall, General Counsel and Executive Vice President, to determine
whether or not a PS Form 3849, July 2013, showing USPS Tracking # or Article Number(s)

DEFENDANTS MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE AMENDED ANSWER
Fla.R.Civ.Pro. 1.090(b)(1) and Fla.R.Jud.Admin. 2.514(a)(1)(C)
Defendant Neil J. Gillespie, an indigent non-lawyer, unable to obtain adequate counsel, a
consumer of legal and court services affecting interstate commerce, a consumer of personal,
family and household goods and services, consumer transactions in interstate commerce, a
person with disabilities, and a vulnerable adult, henceforth in the first person, reluctantly appears
pro se, and moves to extend time to file an amended Answer to the Plaintiff's Complaint,
Fla.R.Civ.Pro. 1.090(b)(1) and Fla.R.Jud.Admin. 2.514(a)(1)(C), and states:
1.

On August 18, 2016 the Honorable Edward L. Scott (Judge Scott) entered the Order that

appears at Exhibit 1. The relevant portion of the Order to this motion is found at #2:
Defendant, NEIL J. GILLESPIE, shall have twenty (20) days from the date of the entry
of this Order to file an amended Answer to the Plaintiff's Complaint.
2.

The Time to file an Amended Answer under Rule 2.514(b) is Monday, September 12,

2016. The Order was served Friday, August 19, 2016 at 2:34 PM by email of Becky Knipe,
Judge Scotts Judicial Assistant. Exhibit 2. Rule 2.514(b), Florida Rules of Judicial
Administration, adds 5 days after the period that would otherwise expire:

DEFENDANTS MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE AMENDED ANSWER

Fla.R.Civ.Pro. 1.090(b)(1) and Fla.R.Jud.Admin. 2.514(a)(1)(C)

(b) Additional Time after Service by Mail or E-mail. When a party may or must act
within a specified time after service and service is made by mail or e-mail, 5 days are
added after the period that would otherwise expire under subdivision (a).
3.

Twenty days added to August 18, 2016 is September 7, 2016, according to the Time and

Date website. Exhibit 3. www.timeanddate.com is a disability accommodation for me.

4.

Five days added under Rule 2.514(b) to September 7, 2016 is Monday, September 12,

2016, according to the Time and Date website. Exhibit 4. Ibid disability accommodation.
5.

The Plaintiff has not filed a complete Complaint for me to file a responsive amended

answer. Paragraph 11 of the defective affidavit (violated F.S. 117.05(4)) of Steve Balius that
accompanied Plaintiffs Complaint and is incorporated therein, states,
11. That of his own personal knowledge, a video was taken by camera 4 located near
the desk of SECO employee Carol Marrero at the SECO Ocala office on April 11, 2016.
This camera and associated equipment produced a true and correct digital video
recording which is being submitted to the court. It depicts the interaction between SECO
staff and Gillespie. The video equipment used is sound and the video taken April 11,
2016 at the Ocala office has not been tampered with or altered in any manner.
6.

Twice I confirmed with the Clerk of the Court, through counsel Greg Harrell, that the

Plaintiff has NOT submitted video by camera 4 to the Court.

7.

Without video by camera 4, and the opportunity to view the video, it is impossible for

me to file a competent amended answer to the complaint as required by the Order of Judge Scott.
8.

A person named Steven Hunter Balius was arrested April 28, 2012 according to online

Citrus County Inmate Details found at http://bailbondcity.com/citrus-inmate-BALIUS/941

charge code 327.35(1)(A) Boat Under Influence 1st Offense Alcoholic Bev/Controlled Sub.
9.

I do not know Steve Balius, or Steven Hunter Balius, or if they are the same person, or

related to each other. I know Steve Balius lied about me being subject to prior restraining
orders in his defective affidavit. So it would not surprise me to learn that Balius is a criminal.

10.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) on May 12, 2016 found no Florida

criminal history for Neil Joseph Gillespie. Exhibit 5.

11.

The defective affidavit of Steve Balius accompanying the Plaintiffs Complaint violated

F.S. 117.05(4) as determined by the Notary Section of the Office of the Governor in a letter of
caution to notary public Meagan Thurston, who is employed by the Plaintiff.
12.

The defective affidavit of Dawn Young accompanying the Plaintiffs Complaint violated

F.S. 117.05(4) as determined by the Notary Section of the Office of the Governor in a letter of
caution to notary public Edith Grant, who is employed by the Plaintiff.
13.

The Plaintiff has NOT submitted video by camera 4 to the Court.

14.

The Plaintiffs counsel Stone & Gerken, PA, is responsible for the foregoing.

15.

I hereby move under Fla.R.Civ.Pro. 1.090(b)(1) to extend time, for 20 additional days

after the Plaintiff submits video by camera 4 to the Court, with a copy to me.
16.

This motion to extend time is made in good faith, and not for the purpose of delay.

WHEREFORE, I respectfully move under Fla.R.Civ.Pro. 1.090(b)(1) to extend time, for 20

additional days after the Plaintiff submits video by camera 4 to the Court, with a copy to me.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED September 12, 2016.
