Demetrius Kotsakis

The appellant appealed a summary judgment ordering her to pay $355,241.08 pursuant to a mortgage and granting leave to issue a writ of possession.

The appellant argued the respondent failed to provide a statement of arrears and that her spouse should have been added as a party.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no merit in the arguments and noting that the appellant had never made a single mortgage payment and appeared to have engaged in a complete scam.

The appellant appealed a committal order for extradition to the United States on a charge equivalent to conspiracy to traffic in cocaine.

He argued that the evidence only demonstrated an attempt to enter into a conspiracy and that the extradition judge improperly relied on expert evidence to find an agreement.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that wiretap evidence and the appellant's subsequent arrest for importing cocaine supported an inference of an ongoing agreement, and that the expert evidence was properly used to interpret coded conversations.
