411Zernik informing him that had qualified for my appointment as
5 IIReceiver and that I had taken possession, cestody and control of
611the Receivership Property. In that letter, I also asked Zernik
7 lito vacate the Receivership Property by the close of business on
81lMonday, November 19, 2007, and that if he did not do so, I would
9 II appear on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 for the hearing of my ex

11 II Defendant Joseph Zernik and all other occupants to immediately
12 [lvacate the Receivership Property and directing the Angeles

15 Ilunlawful detainer judgment, or alternatively (2) Authorizing me
1611to file an unlawful detainer lawsuit to evict Defendant Joseph

18 6. After Zernik failed to respond to my inquiries about
1911whether he had vacated the Receivership Property, and
201lcoITIDunicated a last minute equivocal response, I filed the
2111referenced ex parte application and appeared for the 21,

7 II proceeds will be transmitted to the IRS and the California

101linstructerl Mara Escrow to cancel the Escrow and references
11 II "outrageous conduct" by a tJ:ara Escrow officer. I responded,
12 Ilarrong other things, that Zernik does not have the authority to
1311cancel the Escrow.
14 16. On Monday, December 3, 2007, I received a package of

17 Ilreceived those documents by email from Zernik on or about
1811November 30, 2007. The and hard documents reflect
1911transmittals to Escrow as well.
20 17. As the result of these communications, I have had a

10 II California Judges Association, resigned. I am informed and
1111believe that a number of Judges recused themselves from hearing
12 Iithis case after similar threats were Made to them. A non-party
1311lender (Countrywide HOMe Loans, Inc.) has obtained an order in
1411 tl'-'.is matter restraining Zernik from communicating with its senior
15110fficers, and has a pending motion for monetary sanctions against

Instructions for Form 593-C
Withholdin,a Exemption Certificate
Purpose
Use this form to determine whether you qualify for a full or partial
withholdinq exemption.
Note: Qualifying for an exemption from withholding or being
withheld upon does not relieve you of your obligation to file a
California tax return and pay any tax due on the sale of the
California real estate.
This form must be submitted before the close of escrow to
prevent withholding on the transaction. After escrow has
closed, amounts withheld may be recovered only by claiming
the withholding as a credit on the appropriate year's tax
return.
Part I Seller's Information
Name, Address, and Taxpayer Identification Number
Enter the name, address, and tax identifICation number of the seller or
other transferor. If the seller does not provide a tax 10 number, then Form
593-C is void, and withholding is required.
If the seller is an individual, enter the social security number (SSN) or
individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). If the sellers are
husband and wife and plan 10 file a joint relurn, enter the name and SSN
or ITIN for each spouse. Otherwise, do not enler information for more than
one seller. Instead, complete a separate Form 593-C for each seller.
Note: If you do not have a SSN because you are a nonresident or
a resident alien for federal tax purposes, and the IRS issued you an
ITIN, enter the ITIN in the space provided for the SSN.
An ITIN is a tax processing number issued by the IRS to foreign
nationals and others who have a federal tax filing requirement and
do not qualify for a SSN. It IS a nine-digit number that always starts
with the number 9.
If the seller is a revocable trust, enter the grantor's individual name and
SSN. For tax purposes, the revocable trust is transparent and the
individual seller must report the sale and claim the withholding on their
individual tax return. If the trust was a revocable trust that became
irrevocable upon the grantor's death, enter the name of the trust and the
trust's federal employer identification number (FEIN). Do not enter the
decedent's or trustee's name or social security number.
If the seller is an irrevocable trust, enter the name of the trust and the
trust's federal employer identification number (FEIN).
Do not enter trustee information.
If the seller is a single member, disregarded LLC, enter the name and tax
identification number of the single member.
Escrow Officer: if you choose to provide a copy of Form 593-C to the
buyer, you may delete the seller's lax identification number on the buyer's
copy
Ownership Percentage
Enter your ownership percentage rounded to two decimal places
(e g.66.67%). If you are on title for incidental purposes and you have no
financial ownership, enter 000 and skip to Part IV You will not be
withheld upon.
Examples of sellers who are on title for incidental purposes are:
Co-signors on title (e.g., parents co-signed to help their child
qualify for the loan).
Family members on title to receive property upon the
owner's death.
Part II Certifications That Fully Exempt
Withholding
Line 1 - Principal Residence
To qualify as your principal residence under Internal Revenue Code (lRC)
Section 121, you (or the decedent) generally must have owned and lived in
the property as your main home for at least two years during the five-year
period ending on the date of sale. Military and Foreign Service, get
FTB Pub. 1032, Tax Information for Military Personnel. You can only
have one main home at a time. If you have two homes and live in both
of them, the main home is the one you lived in most of the time.
There are exceptions to the two-year rule if the primary reason you
are selling the home is for a change in the place of employment,
health, or unforeseen circumstances such as death, divorce, or loss of
job, etc. For more information about what qualifies as your principal
residence or exceptions to the two-year rule, get IRS Publication 523,
Selling Your Home. You can get this publication by accessing the
Internal Revenue Service's Website at www.irs.gov, or by calling the
IRS at (800) 829-3676.
Note: If only a portion of the property qualifies as your principal
residence, insert the percentage allocated to the principal
residence in the space above line 1 and inform the escrow person
The allocation method should be the same as the seller used to
determine depreciation.
Decedent's Estate: If the property was held in the decedent's
revocable trust that became irrevocable upon the decedent's
death, then the trust becomes a taxable entity separate from the
decedent. However, the principal residence exemption may be
claimed if both of the following statements are true:
a The decedent would have qualified for the principal
residence exemption, and
b. Both the executor of the estate and the trustee of the trust
are electing to treat the trust as part of the estate under IRC
Section 645. (Federal Form 8855, Election to Treat a
Qualified Revocable Trust as Part of an Estate, is used to
make the election.)
If the IRC Section 645 election will be made, the estate is
considered the seller for withholding purposes and the
executor can certify that the estate meets the principal
residence exemption. The executor or trustee should write
at the bottom of Form 593-C, Real Estate Withholding
Certificate, to indicate that the trust is electing to be included
in the estate under IRC Section 645.
If the trust was created as an irrevocable trust or became irrevocable
prior to the grantor's death, then the principal residence exemption
cannot be claimed.
Line 2 - Property last used as your principal residence
If the property was last used as the seller's or decedent's
principal residence within the meaning of IRe Section 121
without regard to the two-year time period, no withholding is
required. If the last use of the property was as a vacation
home, second home or rental, you do not qualify. You must
have lived in the property as your main home. If you have two
homes and live in both of them, the main home is the one you
lived in most of the time.
Decedent's Estate: If the property was held in the decedent's
revocable trust that became irrevocable upon the decedent's
death, then the trust becomes a taxable entity separate from the
decedent. However, the last use exemption may be claimed if both
of the following statements are true:
a. The decedent would have qualified for the last use
exemption, and
b. Both the executor of the estate and the trustee of the trust
are electing to treat the trust as part of the estate under IRe
Section 645. (Federal Form 8855, Election to Treat a
Qualified Revocable Trust as Part of an Estate, is used to
make the election.) If the IRC Section 645 election will be
made, the estate is considered the seller for withholding
purposes and the executor can certify that the estate meets the
last use exemption. The executor or trustee should write at the
bottom of Form 593-C, Real Estate Withholding Certificate,
to indicate that the trust is electing to be included in the
estate under IRC Section 645.
If the trust was created as an irrevocable trust or became
irrevocable prior to the grantor's death, then the last use
exemption cannot be claimed.

ZERNIK V CONNOR ET AL
Line 3 - Loss or Zero Gain
You have a loss or zero gain for California income tax purposes when the
amount realized is less than or equal to your adjusted basis. You must
complete Form 593-E, Real Estate Withholding - Computation of
Estimated Gain or Loss, and have a loss or zero gain on line 16 to
certify that you have a loss or zero gain on this sale.
You may not certify that you have a net loss Dr zero gain just because you
do not receive any proceeds from the sale or because you feel you are
selling the property for less than what it is worth.
Line 4 - Involuntary Conversion
The property is being involuntarily or compulsorily converted when:
• The California real property is transferred because it was (or
threatened to be) seized, destroyed, or condemned within
the meaning of IRC Section 1033, and
• The transferor (seller) intends to acquire property that is
similar or related in service or use in order to be eligible for
nonrecognition of gain for California income tax purposes.
Get IRS Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets, for more
information about involuntary conversions.
Line 5 - Non-recognition Under IRC Sections 351 or 721
The transfer must qualify for nonrecognition treatment under IRC Section
351 (transferring to a corporation controlled by transferor) or IRC Section
721 (contributing to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest).
Escrow Officer: If, during the escrow, an individual seller transfers title to
a corporation or partnership and then the corporation or partnership
transfers title to the buyer, then there are two transfers for withholding
purposes. Accordingly, two separate Forms 593-C should be completed.
The individual must complete one form, for the transfer to the corporation
or partnership. The corporation or partnership must complete the other
form, for the transfer to the buyer.
Line 6 - Corporation
A corporation has a permanent place of business in California
if:
• It incorporated in California;
• It is qualified to transact business in California through the California
Secretary of State; or
• It will maintain and staff a permanent office in California
immediately alter the sale
S corporations must withhold on nonresident S corporation
shareholders. Get FTB Pub. 1017, Nonresident Withholding
S Corporation and Partnership Guidelines, for more information.
Line 7 - Partnership or Limited Liability Company (LLC)
Withholding is not required if the recorded title to the property being
transferred is in the name of a partnership. However, partnerships must
withhold on nonresident partners. (Get FTS Pub. 1017, Nonresident
Withholding Partnership Guidelines, for more information.)
Withholding is not required if the recorded title to the property is in the
name of an LLC that:
• Is classified as a partnership for federal and California income tax
purposes; and
• Is not a single member LLC that IS disregarded for federal
and California Income tax purposes.
If the LLC meets these conditions, the LLC must still withhold on
nonresident members. (Get FrS Pub. 1017, Nonresident Withholding
Partnership Guidelines, for more information.)
Note: If the LLC is a single member LLC that is disregarded for federal
and California income lax purposes, then that single member is conSidered
to be the seller and the one on title for withholding purposes. If the
member is an individual, complete the form as that individual. If the
member is a corporation, complete the form as that corporation. If the
member is a partnership or LLC, complete the form as that partnership or
LLC; etc.
Note: When completing Form 593-C as the single member of a
disregarded LLC, write on the bottom of the form that the
information on the form is for the single member of the LLC so
that your escrow offICer will understand why it is different from
the recorded title holder.
If the LLC is classified as a corporation for federal and California
income tax purposes, then the seller is considered to be a
corporation for withholding purposes. Refer to Line 6.
Line 8 - Tax-Exempt Entity
Withholding is not required if the seller is tax-exempt under either
California or federal law (eg., religious, charitable, educational, not
for profit organizations, etc.).
Line 9 - Insurance Company, Individual Retirement
Account, Qualified Pension or Profit-Sharing Plan, or
Charitable Remainder Trust
Withholding is not required when the seller is an insurance
company, individual retirement account, qualified pension or profit­
sharing plan, or a charitable remainder trust.
Part III Certifications That May Partially or
Fullv ExemDt Withholdin
Complete Part III only if you did not meet any of the exemptions in
Part II. If you met an exemption in Part II, skip to Part IV.
Line 10 - Simultaneous Exchange
If the California real property is part of a simultaneous like-kind
exchange within the meaning of IRC Section 1031. the transfer is
exempt from withholding. However, if the seller receives taxable
proceeds (boot) exceeding $1,500 from the sale, the withholding
agent must withhold on the boot.
Line 11 - Deferred Exchange
If the California real property is part of a deferred like-kind exchange
within the meaning of IRC Section 1031, the sale is exempt from
withholding at the time of the initial transfer. However, if the seller
receives taxable proceeds (boot) exceeding $1,500 from the sale, the
withholding agent must withhold on the boot.
The intermediary or accommodator must withhold on all cash or cash
equivalent (boot) it distributes to the seller if the amount exceeds
$1,500. If the exchange does not take place or if the exchange does
not qualify for nonrecognition treatment, the intermediary or
accommodator must withhold 3 1/3 percent of the total sales price.
Line 12 -Installment Sale
Normally, to comply with an installment sale agreement, the
buyer agrees to withhold on each principal payment. If the buyer
chooses this method, the buyer must agree either to withhold
31/3% on each principal payment or the installment withholding
percentage specified by Seller according to box 9 of Seller's
election and certification on Form 593-6, Real Estate Withholding
Tax Statement. The buyer must also complete Form 593-1,
Real Estate Withholding Installment Sale Agreement. See
Form 593-1 and the instructions for withholding and remitting the
applicable amount on each installment payment.
Form 593-1 must be attached to Form 593-S, Real Estate
Withholding Tax Statement, when the withholding on the first
installment payment is sent to the Franchise Tax Board.
Note: If you do not wish to defer withholding, do not ask the buyer
to complete Form 593-1.
Part IV Seller's Signature
You must sign this form and return it to your escrow officer by the
close of escrow for it to be valid. Otherwise, the withholding agent
must withhold the full 3 1/3 percent of the total sales price or the
alternative withholding amount certified by the seller in box 8 of Form
593-8.
Any transferor (seller) who, for the purpose of avoiding the
withholding requirements, knowingly executes a false
certificate is liable for a penalty of $1,000 or 20 percent of
the required withholding amount, whichever is greater.

Line-by-Line Instructions
Line 1 - Selling Price
The selling price is the total amount you will receive for your property.
It includes money, as well as, all notes, mortgages, or other debts
assumed by the buyer as part of the sale, plus the fair market value of
any other property or any services you receive.
Line 2 - Selling Expenses (optional)
Selling expenses include commiSSions, advertiSing fees, legal fees,
and loan charges that will be paid by the seller, such as loan
placement fees or pOints.
Line 3 - Amount Realized
The amount realized is the selling price minus the selling expenses.
Line 4 - Purchase Price
If you acquired this property by purchase, enter your purchase price.
Your purchase price includes the down payment and any debt you
incurred: such as a first or second mortgage or promissory notes you
gave the seller in payment for the property. If you acquired the
property by gift, inheritance, exchange, or any way other than
purchase, see page 9, Table 1.
Line 5 - Se/ler--Paid Points
Points are charges paid to obtain a loan. They may also be called loan
origination fees, maximum loan charges. loan discount, or discount
points. If the seller paid points for you when you acquired the
property. enter the amount paid by the seller on your behalf on line 5,
unless you already subtracted this item to arrive at the amount for line
4.
Line 6 - Depreciation
Enter the amount of depreciation you deducted, or could have
deducted, on your California income tax returns for business or
investment use of the property under the method of depreciation you
chose. If you took less depreciation on your tax return than you could
have under the method chosen, you must enter the amount you could
have taken under that method. If you did not take a depreciation
deduction, enter the fuJI amount of depreciation you could have taken.
Get IRS Publication 946, How to DepreCiate Property, if you need
more information.
Depreciation Option - If you do not know how much depreciation you
deducted or were allowed, you can make an estimate of the amount of
depreciation (for withholding purposes only), To estimate the
depreciation, divide the purchase price plus the cost of additions and
improvements by 27.5 and multiply that by the number of years you used
the property for business use (up to 27.5 years).
Example: Mary bought a house 20 years ago for $150,000
and has used it as a rental property for the last 18 years. Prior
to renting the house, she added a pool which cost her $25,000.
Mary's depreciation is estimated as follows:
Cost $150,000
Plus additions 25,000
Total 175,000
Divided by 27.5 = 6,364
Multiply by 18 years = $114,552
Mary's estimated depreciation to enter on line 6 would be $114,552.
Line 7 - Other Decreases to Basis
Include any other amounts that decrease your basis, such as:
• Casualty or theft loss deductions and insurance reimbursements;
Energy credits claimed for the cost of energy improvements
added to your basis; or,
• Payments received for granting an easement or right-of-way.
Line 10 - Additions and Improvements
These add to the value of your property, prolong its useful life, or adapt it
to new uses. Examples include: room additions, landscaping, new roof,
insulation, new furnace or air conditioner, remodeling, etc. The cost of
repairs may not be included unless they are part of an extensive
remodeling or restoration project. Do not include any additions or
improvements on line 10 that were included on line 4.
Line 11 - Other Increases to Basis
Include the amounts paid for any other items that increase the basis of the
property, such as:
• Settlement fees and closing costs you incurred when you
bought the property;
• The amount you paid for special assessments for items such
as water connections, paVing roads, and building ditches: or,
• The cost of restoring damaged property from a casualty loss,
or cost of extending utility service lines to the property.

capital loss carry-forwards, stock losses, and passive activity losses from
other properties cannot be used.
Line 16 - Loss For Withholding Purposes

your loss on the sale for Withholding purposes. (If line 3 is equal to line
15, you have a zero gain.) Check the ·vES" box on Form 593-C, line 3.
