January 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 51 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) by Judge Otis D. Wright, II: Order CLARIFYING Order Granting Motion to Dismiss; Order DENYING AS MOOT Quality's Motion re: Nonmonetary Status #48 . On January 10, 2023, Defendant Quality Loan Service Corporation filed a Motion for Order Confirming Nonmonetary Status. (Quality Mot., ECF Nos. 48 & 48-1 to 48-4.) The Motion arises in part from Qualitys uncertainty regarding language in the Courts November 18, 2022 Order granting Freddie Macs Motion to Dismiss. Quality is uncertain whether the Courts language compels it to file an answer to the Fifth Amended Complaint or whether it is presently released from this obligation due to its uncertain status.The answer is the latter. Qualitys ex parte application for an order confirmingnonmonetary status has been taken under submission by the Court. While that application is under submission, Quality is released of its obligation to participate in the lawsuit. Should the Court deny Quality's application, the Court will give Quality a fair opportunity to respond to the Fifth Amended Complaint and participate in the lawsuit. For now, Quality's deadline to answeror otherwise respond to the Fifth Amended Complaint is SUSPENDED. This clarification having been provided, nothing remains in Quality's recently filed Motion that is not already addressed in its already-pending Application regarding its nonmonetary status. Thus, Quality's Motion is DENIED AS MOOT. (lc)

September 14, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 24 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) by Judge Otis D. Wright, II: Order DENYING Entry of Default #22 ; NOTICE of Deadline for Service of Fourth Amended Complaint on New Century and Quality. The entry of Qualitys default is DENIED. As for New Century, Plaintiff indicates that New Century defaulted in state court andprovides a February 28, 2020 Minute Order demonstrating that default. (Status Rpt. 2.) However, a similar problem exists with this default: this default was on the original Complaint, not the operative Fourth Amended Complaint, and Plaintiff makes no attempt to show that service of the original Complaint should allow for default to be entered on the Fourth Amended Complaint. Accordingly, this Court will not honor the prior entry of default. The result of the foregoing discussion appears to be that the best way forward is for Plaintiffto properly serve the Fourth Amended Complaint on both Quality and New Century and to file proof of the same. The Court places the parties on NOTICE that it is applying the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) service period to this process. The Fourth Amended Complaint was initially filed on July 5, 2022. Adding ninety days yields October 3, 2022. Thus, Plaintiff shall prove service of the Fourth Amended Complaint on Quality and New Century by October 3, 2022, or shall file a declaration explaining why more time is required. Failure to timely comply may result in dismissal of Quality and New Century from the case pursuant to Rule 4(m).(SEE DOCUMENT FOR COURT'S SPECIFIC DISCUSSION AND REASONS AS ENUMERATED HEREIN). (lc)

September 9, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 19 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS by Judge Otis D. Wright, II:ORDER to File Status Report or Request Default of Defendants New Century Mortgage Corporation and Quality Loan Service Corporation. The operative Fourth Amended Complaint in this matter indicates that New Century Mortgage Corporation and Quality Loan Service Corporation are each Defendants in this action. Yet, after the Court directed the parties to file all operative pleadings #13 , the Court is not in possession of separately filed answers for New Century or Quality. The Court would benefit from additional information regarding the status of New Century and Quality, including whether and when each of these Defendants has been served, whether and when responses are due, and whether and when each has defaulted. The Court therefore ORDERS Plaintiffs to provide this information in a Status Report re:New Century and Quality, to be filed no later than September 19, 2022. No hearing will be held. This Order will be deemed discharged upon receipt of the Status Report. If either of these Defendants is in default, then Plaintiffs are directed to re-file the applicable Proof(s) of Service and to request that the Clerk enter default. This Order will alternatively be deemed discharged upon Plaintiffs taking of these actions. Failure to timely and adequately respond to this Order may result in the dismissal of New Century or Quality. (lc)
