Filing 20 Chief Judge Patti B. Saris: MEMORANDUM and ORDER entered. The Court ALLOWS Defendants'motion to dismiss Counts I-III (Docket No. 6 ) and REMANDS Count IV to the Dukes County Superior Court. (Geraldino-Karasek, Clarilde) |
Filing 14 Chief Judge Patti B. Saris: ORDER entered. After hearing, this Court ALLOWS Defendants motion to dissolve the ex parte injunction issued by the Massachusetts Superior Court on two grounds. First, Defendant did not receive reasonable notice of t he state court preliminary injunction hearing. See Mass. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1)(No preliminary injunction shall be issued without notice to the adverse party.). The evidence reflects that Plaintiffs counsel notified counsel for the loan services of the hearing via email less than 24 hours before the hearing was scheduled. Defendant, who had not yet been served, did not have a meaningful opportunity to appear and oppose the motion for a preliminary injunction. Second, the Superior Court relied o n the incorrect fact that U.S. Bank did not hold both the mortgage and the underlying mortgage note. Where an entity holds the mortgage through a valid written assignment and is the note holder, that entity has the legal authority to foreclose on the property. See U.S. Bank Natl. Ass'n v. Ibanez, 941 N.E.2d 40, 51 (Mass. 2011). U.S. Bank was both the assignee of the mortgage and the holder of the note. Plaintiff does not dispute that the factual basis for the state court injunction was incorrect. Although the plaintiff raises other arguments, they are unpersuasive in demonstrating a likelihood of success on the merits for the reasons stated in open court. (Geraldino-Karasek, Clarilde) |
