Linda Mericle has a history of Condo owners' abuse -- taken fromFCCA1news, 15:23:42 12/10/07 Mon [1]
It saddens me to see the chaos at Frenchman's creek -- Deirdre Glascoe (sad), 09/12/06 4:34am [1] (NoHost/68.50.69.181)
It saddens me to see the chaos at Frenchman's creek. I experienced the similar chaos at the Seville, A Condominium before I was forced to sue the condominium, its attorney, Linda S. Mericle, its property manager Lester Poretsky and Poretsky Management, Inc.,all of the people who served on the board of directors and unit owners who did not serve on the board of directors. I realized that filing a lawsuit is the only way to stop the chaos, not just the Seville, but for all condominiums in the country. The chaos will remain at at all condominiums until the Board of Directors, the property managers and the attorneys for the associations are held accountable for mismanagment through government oversight. It frightened me when I learned that the same thing that happened at the Seville was happening at Frenchman's Creek. I tried to help the Seville in the same manner that Tolu is trying to help you. I wrote a letter to the Consumer Protection Division of the attorney general's office, that looked almost identical to the letter Tolu wrote to the attorney general on behalf of Frenchman's creek. I became of Seville's Board of Directors and their agents did everything they could to get me off the Board of Directors. They retaliated because I filed the attorney general complaint then planned and actually sued me for defamation twice by Lester Poretsky and Poretsky Management, Inc, and his employees. They lost and I won. They had their employee file false criminal charges against me and those charges were dismissed. Now I have a law suit against them for violating my civil rights. These cases can go on for years. Right now, some of the defendants have been dismissed out, once I file some more motions and/or amend the complaint, they will be right back in the case. The point is we are going to spend years in court exhausting everyone's money except mine. They already exhausted my money when they filed the 3 suits against me. Is this what you want to happen at Frenchman's creek? The purpose of my law suit is not to get tons of money, its designed to obtain Civil Rights for people who own homes in condominiums, to recoup the damages that these people have inflicted upon me, and to hold those people who should be held accountable accountable ... and who is that.. the unit owners ... yes you. Because board members can't do what they do unless YOU allow them. And the Linda Mericle's can't do what she does unless YOU allow her. Many condominium owners figure they don't have to get involved because its not going to effect them. WRONG --- There is going to be surprise on their face when they learn that they are going to have to turn over their tax returns, pay stubs and other financial records in order for the Court to assess how much in punitive damages the condominium can afford. So wisen up. Just because a black intelligent woman is not a white man, does not mean that she is giving you the wrong message. Here is some food for thought ...Frenchman's Creek is in a predominately poor black neighborhood, and so is the Seville, a Condominium. In fact, They are right down the street from one another. Sitting in between the two condominium's are new condominiums being developed -- 1 bedrooms are starting at $200,000. What if there is a conspiracy to get all of the poor black people out of the area so that new condominiums could be built. What if the way to get them out is to pay off the Board members to keep the water shut off (we had weekly water shutoffs at the Seville) to keep poor electrical and general uninhabitable living conditions. In return the Board members get a little side money and the condos are in such disrepair that the owners have no choice but to sell them at a low price to the developers, who will make millions off of the units YOU sold so cheaply. Now what if a black woman comes along and warns the unit owners ... what will the developers do? They need to silence this woman in a subtle way ... they got it they will turn her own people against her because they believe black people are gullible enough to fall for it. And it saddens me to say some of you are that gullible, you're so focused on the small things that you never see the big picture until its too late. Thats what happened to the slaves when other african's sold them into slavery, and thats what happened to slaves who tried to escape to freedom, when 'house niggers' told the the Master... "Massa they're trying to Escape!" You may visit my website at www.citizenxforjustice.org -- the problem can't begin to be solved until we start pointing fingers, naming names and taking action! I pray this message has enlighted you.

Linda you do not work for Paul Gbenoba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 -- Tolu, 07:41:23 10/23/07 Tue [1]
Do I Really Want to Represent that Association?
"I recently heard from a new lawyer embarking on representing community associations who was concerned about the fact that a perspective condominium association client had several Board members who had been antagonistic towards him. He was concerned about how he would handle such a group as clients.
I recently wrote an article for Common Ground Magazine entitled “Advice and Dissent” (click here to read the full article). In that article I spoke about the fact that the attorney actually works for the association as opposed to the board of directors."
Linda Mercle since you did not learn this in Law School here it is:
"While it is the board that does the hiring (and firing) of the association attorney, it is vitally important that the attorney realize he or she has a direct responsibility to the association as a corporate entity and not certain individuals within the association or neighborhood community."

Re: Frenchman’s Creek (Paul Gbenoba) bogus charges in your lien letter dated
The address to the common area room is 7503 Riverdale Road.
That room is in the basement of the building and previous to my entering the space and totally redoing it for the use of the Council of Unit Owners it was an unusable former storage room.
I originally came to know about the room because I was searching for a room for the Council of Unit Owners to meet. At the time I first became aware of the space I was also a legally elected Frenchman's Creek board member, one of only 2 of the 5 that were legally elected at that time.
One of the ones who were not legally elected is Paul Gbenoba the individual, Ms. Mericle for whom you do your bidding, Mr. Paul Gbenoba. Mr. Gbenoba was not legally elected because contrary to Frenchman's Creek by-laws rules, Mr. Gbenoba stood for election while he owned FCCA money against his property.
This is one of numerous times that I have brought this to your attention.
Further then, you understand that this assessment is a retaliatory act
not one based on fact or reason. In fact, the Frenchman Creek Condo by-laws documents allow for the Council of Unit owners to meet whenever they feel it is necessary to assemble and for the record I was looking for a meeting
room for CUO members to strategize how we would get rid of Mr. Gbenoba.
The US laws grant me the right to assemble.
The By laws grant the Council Unit Owners the right to meet. If Mr. Gbenoba decided to change the door, that was a decision made independent of The Council of Unit Owners.
I have not even been in the common area room in over 2 years. In that time period, has had at least 50 meetings in that same space.
Mr. Gbenoba has also blown through two reputable management companies who terminated contracts with Frenchman's Creek, at least in part, because he has become
Frenchman Creek's dictator, running FCCA’s business in a manner that would aggrandize his financial position but at the peril of the balance of the homeowners (see
enclosed management companies’ statements). Moreover, to bill me for that common area space is highly insulting. When I first entered 7503 Riverdale's storage area it was in total disrepair right down to leakage and sewage. I paid out of my own personal funds to have the place cleaned, painted, and furnished for the sole use of the CUO’s.
Keys were given to all legally elected FCCA board members and anyone who was an owner in Frenchman's Creek would be able to have access to the property for FCCA COUO business.
How then could I have used this place in an "unauthorized manner?"
I anxiously await your response.
Ms. Mericle, you personally have run out of wiggle room.
You can no longer claim that you have no knowledge of the claims that I make herein.
First, you and I both know that these are not new claims.
Secondly, I have attached documents and statements
from other parties which support my claims. Most importantly, as regards the special assessment, this response raises the thin veil under which you would like to legally hide. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and neither is ignorance of the facts when you know or should have known and refuse to admit to the veracity of the information in this response.
I have before and after pictures of the state of 7503 Riverdale before and after my money made it into a comfortable office space that Mr. Gbenoba utilizes regularly to this day. You can't possibly document any damage I've done as I only improved its status.
You can't be complicit and hide behind numbers on a piece of paper without going behind them to see what they represent. "... Liars can figure."
I not only owe no debt, the reality is FCCA owes me.
Finally, Ms. Mericle, you said in your letter of April 26, 2007,
"Since receipt of your recent payment of $1, 110, this
office will not currently be taking further action to file a lien...
The next letter received on June 14, 2007 says you already
filed a lien and require me to pay the special assessment by
June 25, 2007.
THIS ENTIRE EXTORTION SCHEME IS OUTRAGEOUS! Mericle you as an officer of the court is a disgrace to the legal profession!!!!!
Send me a response to this letter immediately and I will be
pursuing a Civil Suit against you, Gbenoba, Frenchman's
Creek et al that will uncover in detail the entire illegal mess there at FCCA.
You and Paul Gbenoba have tried to find and force ways to me in debt so Mr. Gbenoba and his co-cohorts can steal yet another unit. As well as retaliation for my uncovering his illegally being allowed to run and serve on the board while having a lien against his unit. I personally informed you of this 3 times therefore that is the blatant admission that you as an attorney are breaking the laws and rules for which I have many documents and witnesses to prove.
This time you people picked the wrong one to exploit in your attempt to steal my unit.
As you and Gbenoba has been taking advantage of the many other unit owners with Gbenoba stealing their units from them. Using his illegal board status to delve into their property status.

Linda S. Mericle
Attorney -At- Law6404 Ivy Lane Suite 408
Greenbelt, Maryland 20770
Dear Ms. Mericle,
It is absolutely imperative that you send me all information pertinent to the letter you mailed me regarding an alleged debt because of non-payment of assessments.
My condo fees are current. There have been no special assessments that the homeowners as a whole have paid that I have not paid.
Without question I dispute the validity of this is a bogus debt and consider this a plot and a conspiracy against me with which you Ms. Mericle are both complacent and to which you are a party.
Evidence of this is that you would send a correspondence to other than my permanent mailing address.
You and everyone else in any kind of administrative position is fully aware that I am an absentee owner and all mail regarding this Frenchmen Creek condo is and has always been sent to me at my permanent mailing address which as you know and all documents will validate is: PO Box 48331 Washington, DC 20002 since 1997.
I have never received 1 piece of mail at Karen Elaine except this bogus claim from you.
Secondly it is common practice that anything as significant as this notice would require a signature from me to insure that I received the notice.
Thirdly, attorney Linda Mericle there is no way if you were not helping Paul Gbenoba with illegal acts again would you send me this bogus debt notice and then threaten foreclosure.
Further, you send me a first notice dated June 14, 2007 and tell me payment is due June 25, 2007.
Also you told me you have already executed a lien in the county records before you even give me the opportunity to dispute this bogus debt. Finally to buttress my argument that this
is a conspiracy, note the last enclosed late notice I received from November 16, 2006shows the date of the last late notice in my records and shows that the balance was only $184.40. Even this was erroneous.
How in the world could a payment go from $184.40 in November of 2007 is now over $3000 in a matter of months? What special assessment have all the homeowners been required to pay since November 06?
The answer is none! Be assured that your letter, this response and all father communications will be sent to every appropriate authority from the appropriate Congressional authorities to the Maryland Bar Association.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
Make sure you send me "verification of the debt."
Make sure you send the requested information and any other information regarding 5534 Karen Elaine Drive to:
PO Box 48331, Washington, DC 20002+-0331( Which has been my permanent mailing address since 1997).
I am also again demanding that you provide me with certified proof that Paul Gbenoba FCCA did not owe FCCA during the 2004-2005 board elections.

Mericle breached her fiduciary duty intentionally -- Tolu, 07:04:48 07/27/07 Fri [1]
Count 5
Constructive Fraud
Defendant Attorney Linda s. Mericle breached her fiduciary duty intentionally when
allowed her Co-defendant Gbenoba to illegally vote, run for the 2004 board election and
remain as the illegal board president of FCCA after being notified by the plaintiff and
many other homeowners that Gbenoba has had an unsatisfied lien against his unit since
1994.
(2.) Abrogation of plaintiff’s homeowner’s rights and the ability for plaintiff to quietly
enjoy her property.
The abrogation of homeowner's rights charge arises from defendants interference with
Ms. Tolu's bundle of legal rights to do within the law what she wants to do with her unit.
The politicization by Paul Gbenoba of living in Frenchman’s has severely limited her
choices.
(3.) As a result of the breach of co-defendant Attorney Linda S. Mericle duty, plaintiff has
suffered damages the specter of a bogus unjustified lien and a pending possible foreclosure
action is a gross violation of her rights.
Wherefore, plaintiff demands a judgment against defendants in the sum of Two million
Five hundred thousand dollars ($ 250,000,000).
The real tragedy of the situation as well as the injustice of the situation has been
chronicled throughout this action, but when you consider the illegitimacy of the action, as
well as the illegitimacy of the characters who are both initiating and spear heading the
action, it adds a psychological damage to the financial and legal damage that cannot be
over estimated.
Ms. Tolu's initial act of becoming a board member and an activist was originally based
generally in unselfishness, clean management principles, and the desire to just " make the
trains run right."
(3.) FCCA has a history of at least 2 board presidents prior to Paul Gbenoba who served
unlawfully.
Carolyn Jackson served for over ten years as President of the FCCA board and during
most of this period, she served as the only board member. This was actually originally
revealed to Ms. Tolu by Paul Gbenoba at a board meeting.
(4.) Among the transgressions that Gbenoba has perpetrated (I.) Illegally elected; had
almost a $3000 lien against his unit when he stood for office (II.) illegally elected had Andre
Lee (another illegally elected board member) maneuver and misuse the proxy vote (III.)
(III.) Failed to notify board members and management companies of meetings (IV.)
Removed legitimately elected board members who opposed him from the board (V.) Failed
to have board meetings open to the FCCA unit owners (VI.) Purchased and paid off a truck
using at least $21,000 from FCCA funds during a period of time when utility bills had not
been paid (VII.) Authorized monies to be spent out of FCCA accounts on his signature only
(VIII.) Obtained preliminary peace orders against at least 2 owners who he felt opposed
him (IX.) Removed and hid FCCA records from review (X.) Gbenoba claimed the proxy
of board member Andre Lee for 2 years after Lee moved rather than holding an election to
fill the space.

unethical and unprofessional involvements in this gross fragrant fraud -- Tolu, 06:59:30 07/27/07 Fri [1]
Count 3
Legal Malpractice
(1.) Harassment as evidenced by attempts at public intimidation and plaintiffs’ illegal
removal from FCCAs’ board. [See exhibit nos.3; 4; 12; 13].
(2.) Ms. Tolu had been a resident in good financial standing of the Frenchman's Creek
condo association since 1996.
(3.) In the fall of 2004, plaintiff became acutely aware of the poor financial health of FCCA
(FCCA could not pay the gas bills and the gas for all the units was to be turned off at which
point the former illegal president Andre assessed all 604 unit $ 350 for the gas to be paid
within 30 days.) and the apparent long term and systemic nature of the problem and
decided the only way to work toward change and improving the problem was to become
directly involved by running for a position on the FCCA board of directors.
(4.) In addition to the mismanagement of funds, Frenchman’s Creek had suffered from
illegally elected FCCA board members using the board to improve their personal
financial positions, illegal board elections and board appointments, failure to keep regular
minutes of meetings as the Maryland Condo Act prescribes, abuse and misuse of the proxy
votes, voter intimidation and voter fraud, and harassment and intimidation of homeowners
who try to advance a position of that other than the board leadership and the retaliatory
acts taken against them, and finally the disturbing primary role played by Attorney
Linda Mericle in all these questionable actions.
In fact, you can find Attorney Mericles’ fingerprints and sanctioning on almost all these
actions.
Since Attorney Linda S. Mericle is an officer of the court this defendant must be held
accountable for her unethical and unprofessional involvements in this gross fragrant fraud
by the defendants.
(6.) Gbenoba was not that he was illegally elected otherwise, and that he tried to administer
his office as if he was the only board member as opposed to one of five members.
Announcing at the first board meeting that only he would have a key or access to the
Condo office and overruled plaintiffs’ objection to this absurd nonsense but that was only
the beginning to years of the ‘King and I’, Mr. Gbenoba being ‘king’ and all other 603
condo unit owners’ being ‘I’.
There was a direct clash in goals in that Ms. Tolu's goal was to try to move FCCA toward a
Financial healthy, well managed community and improving the quality of life for all unit
owners and Paul Gbenoba's goal was to advance the finances, power, prestige, and quality
of life of the illegal Paul Gbenoba.
It is out of this conflict between the two that Paul Gbenoba began his harassing tactics.
(7.) On a number of occasions both public and private, he assailed, screamed, yelled, and
attempted to intimidate Ms. Tolu leading to the thus far ultimate retaliatory step detailed
extensively in this lawsuit, namely placing a fraudulent lien against Ms. Tolu's property.
One public display of harassment occurred at a FCCA board meeting when
Ms. Tolu and Paul Gbenoba disagreed over the illegal election of several (3) board
members as well as the fact that attorney Linda Mericle could keep bleeding the
Association into bankruptcy by her fees coming out of the Associations Reserves Funds.
No one knows (but Gbenoba) the actual amount of FCCA money Reserves which could be
less than $100,000.
However for FCCA to be financially healthy its’ Reserves Funds should be at least
$1,812,000 million dollars.
Paul Gbenoba then rose from his seat in the board meeting calling Ms. Tolu among other
things, “a dumb, stupid woman, “then lacing Ms Tolu with obscenities including the B
word. “ During that incident, Gbenoba also approached her in a menacing manner.
Gbenoba asserted, "you are nobody and I don't acknowledge your presence"
but Ms. Tolu continued her campaign to clean up FCCA’s act.
Plaintiff continued to be interested in ridding the condo association of illegal and
ineffective office holders, but most importantly, she wanted the FCCA to get in the Black
financially and to be managed properly.
It is not a great leap to understand that if the FCCA had non-management types, interested
only in their personal financial situation that the FCCA's affairs would be in disarray,
disorder and debt.
Gbenoba saw his illegal access to the unit owners money as his personal bank account to
thrush himself ahead from tittering on Bankruptcy

Malicious Prosecution by Attorney Linda S. Mericle -- Tolu, 06:38:18 07/27/07 Fri [1]
Malicious Prosecution
(1.)Abuse of Process defendants instituted a bogus lien against the plaintiff on June 14,
2007.The bogus lien was instituted with the ulterior purposes of retaliation against plaintiff
for her legally organizing numberous acts to get both the illegally elected Gbenoba and the
tortuous Aiding Attorney Mericle out of Frenchman’s Creek Condo Association office and
affairs.
(2.) As a result defendant Linda S. Mericle Malicious Prosecution and tortuous Aiding and

This debt is both erroneous and outrageous and the attorney filing the lien in the Prince
George's county land records, Linda Mericle and the "client" requesting that the debt be
filed, FCCA illegal Board President, Gbenoba are both aware that this is the case.

WHO IS THIS ATTORNEY REALLY SERVING?
Re: Request for investigation of Attorney Linda S. Mericle, 5404 Ivy Lane, Suite 408, Greenbelt, MD 20770, phone: 301-474-2044, fax: 301-474-7801 regarding conflict of interest General Rule (American Bar Association Code of Ethics Rule 1.7).
Explanation of why this matter is not a conflict of interest for Ms. Mericle, as she is the attorney for Frenchman’s Creek Condo Association (FCCA), as well as the attorney for the estate of Carolyn A. Jackson (estate number 67951). Prior to her death, Ms. Jackson was president of the Frenchman’s Creek Condo Association for over 10 years. Most of those years Ms Jackson were not a five members elected board. Therefore Ms Jackson would appoint Board Members at her whim. That alone is a major RED FLAG.
There is both a proposed forensic audit of FCCA’s financial records and a sworn affidavit from two board members (myself and Juanita E. Moore) stating that the current board president (Paul Gbenoba) has uncovered many improprieties that took place during Ms. Jackson’s presidency. These improprieties include unauthorized usage of the FCCA’s credit cards and monies.
Ms. Moore and I received this information from Mr. Gbenoba during a board meeting discussion that took place on Friday, April 1, 2005, between 6:10 and 6:25 p.m. Mr. Gbenoba said the incidents of fraudulent activity were too numerous to fully detail at that time.
This is my third request for an explanation of why this does not represent a conflict of interest regarding Ms. Mericle. As well as my demand for the production of all documents Ms. Mericle has pertaining to her involvement with the elections of the board of directors of the FCCA during 2004 and 2005.
