With respect to the claims remanded to this Court from the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit,
• Defendants Link Development, LLC ("Link") and Steven Ross, as trustee of BD Lending Trust ("BD") are directed to show cause why judgment should not enter against them on Count 1 of the complaint given the Court's prior holding that Attorney Sojcher lacked authority to enter into the BD Mortgage.

Plaintiff RFF Family Partnership, LP ("RFF") may file a response not to exceed ten (10) pages within 14 days thereafter.
• Plaintiff RFF is directed to show cause why judgment should not enter against it on Count IV of the complaint against Link given the Court's prior holding as a matter of law that Link did not act with knowledge or reckless disregard of the truth when it recorded the assignment of the BD Mortgage.
