MORTGAGE, LLC, and
MAUNICK NIRAJ SHETH,
Case Number: 134702
Respondents.
FINAL ORDER
The State of Florida, Office of Financial Regulation ("Office"), being authorized and directed to administer and enforce chapter 494, Florida Statutes, hereby enters this Final Order with Notice of Rights ("Final Order") as authorized by the provisions of chapters 120 and 494, Florida Statutes, against LD CAPITAL RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE, LLC, AND MAUNICK NIRAJ SHETH ("Respondents"). FINDINGS OF FACT

1. The Office has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this case and the parties
   hereto.
2. At all times material, LD Capital Residential Mortgage, LLC, is and has been
   licensed in Florida as a mortgage lender, having been issued license number MLD2386, pursuant to chapter 494, Florida Statutes. At all material times, Maunick Niraj Sheth is and has been Officer, Owner, and Principal Loan Originator of LD Capital Residential Mortgage, LLC.
3. The Office conducted an examination and found that grounds existed to initiate
   a legal action. On February 4, 2026, the Office issued an Administrative Complaint (Exhibit A) seeking an administrative fine of $2,625.00.
4. The Complaint contained a Notice of Rights, which fully advised Respondents that

they had twenty-one (21) days after the receipt of the Administrative Complaint within which to petition the Office for an administrative hearing to contest the allegation set forth in the Complaint, in accordance with sections 120.59 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, including the following information:
TO PRESERVE THE RIGHT TO A HEARING, A WRITTEN
RESPONSE MUST BE FILED WITH THE OFFICE OF
FINANCIAL REGULATION WITHIN TWENTY-ONE (21)
DAYS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
COMPLAINT. SAID RESPONSE MUST BE RECEIVED BY
THE OFFICE NO LATER THAN 5:00 P.M. ON THE TWENTY￾FIRST DAY AFTER THE RECEIPT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT. A FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND IN WRITING WILL CONSTITUTE A W AIYER OF THE LICENSEE'S RIGHT TO REQUEST A HEARING AND A FINAL ORDER MAY BE ENTERED WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE.
5. Respondents were served the Administrative Complaint via U.S. Certified Mail on
April 20, 2026. (Exhibit B). A response was due no later than May 11, 2026. To date, the Office has neither received a written response to the Administrative Complaint nor have Respondents made a claim of equitable tolling.
6. The Findings of Fact alleged in the Administrative Complaint are hereby
incorporated by reference and adopted as Findings of Fact in this Final Order. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
7. Pursuant to sections 494.0011 and 494.0012, Florida Statutes, the Office is charged
with administering and enforcing the provisions of chapter 494, Florida Statutes, and conducting examinations and investigations to determine whether any provision of chapter 494, Florida Statutes, has been violated. Thereby, the Office has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this case and of the parties hereto.
8. The Findings of Fact herein serve as the basis of the entry of this Final Order against
2

Respondents.
9. Section 120.569(2)(a), Florida Statutes, and Rule 28-106.111(2), Florida
Administrative Code, require, among other things, that a response or a petition to an action which affects the substantial interests of a party be filed with the agency within 21 days of receipt of written notice of the action.
10. Section 120.569(2)(c), Florida Statutes, provides that a petition for hearing shall be
dismissed if it has been untimely filed (not within 21 days).
I 1. Pursuant to Rule 28-106.111(4), Florida Administrative Code, the failure of Respondents to timely respond to the Complaint constitutes a waiver of Respondents' right to an administrative proceeding.
12. The doctrine of equitable tolling can be applied in administrative cases when a party
has been misled or lulled into inaction, i.e., has in some extraordinary way, been prevented from asserting his rights, or has timely asserted his rights in the wrong forum. Machules, v. Department of Admin., 523 So. 2d 1132 (Florida 1988).
13. Without any evidence of equitable tolling, it is appropriate for the Office to conclude
there was none. Patz v. Dept. of Health, 864 So.2d 79, 80 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003).
14. When Respondents failed to submit a response to the Office on or before May 11,
2026, Respondents did not timely file a petition or any other document in response to the Complaint. Respondents also presented no claim, or evidence of equitable tolling. Therefore, it is appropriate for the Office to conclude there was no equitable tolling and Respondents waived their right to an administrative proceeding.
15. Based on the Findings of Fact adopted herein, the Office concludes that
Respondents violated the specific statutes and rules charged in the Complaint and, as such, the specific charges in the Complaint are adopted in this Final Order as Conclusions of Law. 3

16. The Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law that form the basis for the Complaint,
    together with the waiver of a hearing by Respondents, constitute grounds for the Office to revoke the mortgage lender license of Respondents (license number MLD2386) and impose an administrative fine against Respondents. Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is hereby ORDERED:
    A. Within ten (30) days of the docketing of this Final Order, Respondents shall pay an Administrative Fine of Two Thousand Six Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars ($2,625.00). B. Respondents shall submit the administrative fine in the form of money order, cashier's check, or wire transfer made payable to the "OFFICE OF FINANCIAL REGULATION". Such payment shall reference Case Number 134702 and shall be sent to the attention of the Agency Clerk, c/o Damaris E. Reynolds, Post Office Box 8050, Tallahassee, Florida 32314-8050. DONE and ORDERED this S~ day of June, 2026, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. 4
