2. THE CASHIER’S CHECK MADE OUT TO PHAT TRAN *AND* STEVEN SILVERSTEIN This is for a Second "July Payment" Your cashier’s check proves Silverstein and Tran were paid. This contradicts every “nonpayment” claim made in court.

3. SILVERSTEIN’S INDUSTRY PROFILE SHOWS A "VOLUME-BASED" APPROACH

A published newspaper article profiling eviction attorneys confirms Silverstein’s court posture: high-volume, low-review, “cookie-cutter” evictions where accuracy is secondary to throughput.

8. DA27 — FINAL FINDING

Silverstein had:

He still argued “nonpayment” to the Court.

This meets the legal definition of:

9. ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE: EARLY NOTICE, OWNER ADMISSION & CHECK-HANDLING FRAUD

The following evidence further proves Silverstein had full early knowledge of the truth about payments, contract authority, and Berkshire Hathaway’s exclusive role as the payee. These items demonstrate that Silverstein’s “non-payment” narrative was impossible based on the documents in his possession.

Early Notice Email — “What kind of shyster lawyer…”
This proves Silverstein was notified at the start that: (1) the contract was a Berkshire debit, (2) the owner was no longer the proper payee, and (3) the agent had misrepresented authority. He did nothing to correct the record.
Owner’s Text Admission — Payment To Hanson Confirmed
Tran admits in his own message: “Sorry I didn’t know you did pay your rent to the Hanson account.” This eliminates any possibility of a legitimate “nonpayment” claim in court.
Bank Rules: The Payee Is BERKSHIRE — Not Tran
This establishes that only Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California had legal authority to negotiate or return the check. Tran had no lawful standing to claim he “returned” a check addressed to a corporation. This proves fraudulent testimony.

Together, these three evidence blocks prove beyond dispute:

This section makes clear: Silverstein and Tran knowingly misled the Court. They relied on a false narrative that contradicted bank rules, owner admissions, and the documents in their own files.
