DECLARATION OF ANTONIO VILLAAMIL 
I, Antonio Villaamil, declare: 
1. 
I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and 
admitted to practice in this Court.  I am a Deputy Federal Public Defender for the 
Central District of California appointed to represent Kerwin Jordan in the above-
entitled action. 
2. 
As a condition of his bond, Mr. Jordan is order to “not sell, transfer, or 
give away any asset valued at $ 10,000.00 or more without notifying and obtaining 
permission from the Court.” (Dkt. 11). 
3. 
The real property located at 3076 Strawberry Hill Road, Pebble Beach, 
California 93953 (the “Property”) is subject to an existing mortgage serviced by 
Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. Shellpoint has issued a notice of default, and 
foreclosure proceedings have been initiated. However, Shellpoint has agreed, through 
discussions with a consultant retained by Mr. Jordan, Bernard Battiste, not to set a 
foreclosure sale date so long as the Property is actively listed for sale. The Property is 
would be sold in an arm’s-length transaction at a proposed purchase price of 
$2,400,000, which would allow for satisfaction of the lender’s interest and preservation 
of any remaining equity. Absent permission from the Court to proceed with the sale, the 
lender may proceed with foreclosure, which could result in the loss of any equity in the 
Property. 
4. 
The Court’s approval of the sale is necessary in order Mr. Jordan to 
comply fully with the bond condition restricting asset transfers in excess of $10,000. 
Accordingly, Mr. Jordan respectfully seeks the Court’s permission to proceed with the 
sale of the Property as described above. 
5. 
On January 16, 2026, Assistant United States Attorney Ranee Katzenstein 
advised me that the government does not opposed Mr. Jordan’s request for permission 
to sell the property. 
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America
