20 I, Leslie Marks, declare:


21
1. I am the Debtor in the above-entitled action. I have personal knowledge of the
22
matters set forth within and can competently testify thereto if called upon to do so.
23
2. On or about April 26, 2011 I received the Motion to Annul the Automatic Stay
24
served by mail. This service is defective in that it does not allow for the response time under the
25
26 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Furthermore more there is no notice that is an emergency

27 notice or any other evidence to expedite the hearing as set.

3. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is the Notice of Default recorded on May 21,2011

DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO ANNUL STAY
1
pnor. No assignment or substation of Trustee is recorded prior to this date. The Assignment is
2
signed by a representative of GreenTree and not the Delaware Bankruptcy Trustee, as Home 123
3
is in active bankruptcy in Delaware currently. The Substitution is also signed by a representative
4
of GreenTree. These documents also reference a loan to which Marks has no obligation and is
5
not related to the 2006 Deed of Trust.
6
4.. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of the 2007 Lis Pendens
7
which remains recorded and is not expunge.
8
5. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a true and correct copy of correspondence from
9
New Century showing status of Marks loan, the loan number and the cover page of the 2006
10
Deed of Trust reflecting the current loan number.
11
6. Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a true and correct copy of the Trustee's Deed
12
upon sale which reflects a loan to which Marks has no obligation and is not related to the 2006
13
II Deed of Trust.
14
7. Attached hereto as Exhibit E is a true and correct copy of the handwritten receipt.
15 II 8. Attached hereto as Exhibit F is a true and correct copy of correspondence
II
16
evidencing Mr. Eikenberry's attempt to manipulate the Delaware hearing.
17
9. Attached hereto as Exhibit G is a true and correct copy of the Blanket Relief from
18
Stay Order issued by the Delaware Court in 2008. Marks was not made aware of this order, even
19
though her California case was pending at the time. Marks recently discovered this order in
20
March 2011 as a result of a hearing in a Hawaii case, attached hereto for the court's convenience.
21
Perhaps these subsequent litigations could have been avoided had New Century acted in good
22
faith and provided Marks with this order. Her California case was pending at that time and New
23
Century should have been brought in to resolve issues.
24
10. Attached hereto as Exhibit H is a true and correct copy of a recent Memorandum
25
of Decision which closely mirror's Marks case. In re Salazar, USBC SDC Case No. 10-17456.
26
11. Attached hereto as Exhibit I are true and correct copies of other relevant evidence
27
to this case. First a pleading filed by Les Zieve on behalf of Home 123, which is in active BK in
28
-2-
DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO ANNUL STAY
1
Delaware - this document is fraudulent on its face. Exhibit 1-2 is a copy of correspondence
2
from GreenTree depicting a loan number which is not related to Marks deed of trust, and is not
3
even the same loan number reflected on the foreclosing documents. Furthermore, as you can see,
4
GreenTree could have expunged the lis pendens and recorded its assignments in 2009 had it had
5
the legal or lawful right to do so. Exhibit 1-2 is evidence Ocwen claims to transfer to GreenTree.
6
There is no recorded documents evidencing this transfer. Exhibit 1-3 is a copy of the Proof of
7
Claim filed by Ocwen, which claimed to be only a "servicer" in the Illston Court. Only the
8
Lender can file a Proof of claim, the law is clear. Exhibit 1-4 is the current status of former New
9
Century Employee Tom Chicoine. Exhibit 1-5 copies of envelopes that contained documents sent
10
by Mr. Eikenberry in violation of the automatic stay.
11
12. Attached hereto as Exhibit AA through AA-7 are true and correct copies of the
12
index from the Alameda Country Recorder's office showing that TRA has purchased over 60
13
properties in Alameda County. This document also reflects that TRA is listed itself as a lender,
14
Trenor Asknew has recorded himself as a Trustee.
15
13. TRA has caused me and my family monetary loss by simply refusing to obtain
16
relief from Fidelity or Green'Iree, whatever entity it purchased a property with clouded title,
17
based upon fraudulent documents which are fraudulent on its face. 1 have had to not only battle
18
the banks but now an investor who has no standing whatsoever to proceed against me. 1 am
19
seeking reimbursement for all costs relating to the unlawful detainer trial and to defend my
20
position against TRA and Trenor Asknew.
21
1 declare under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the state of California, that the
22
foregoing is true and correct and executed on this 2~THst day of April at Oakland, California.

Dear SirlMadam: _

This letter is sent in regard to consumer, Leslie Bames Marks, regarding an


obligation previously reported as owing by Homel23 Corporation in 2006-07, which
requires correction.

Please be advised that on April 2, 2007 (the "Petition Date"), New Century TRS
Holdings, Inc., and certain of its affiliated entities, including Homel23 Corporation
(collectively, the "Debtors"), filed chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"), which cases are
jointly administered as Case No. 07-10416.

On November 20, 2009 the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Confirming the
Modified Plan of Liquidation (the "Plan"). Pursuant to the Plan's terms, the New
Century Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") was created and Alan M. Jacobs was appointed as
Liquidating Trustee.

Re: Leslie Barnes Marks

The Trust's records reveal that during 2006, Leslie Barnes Marks obtained Loan
Number 1006788513 ("Loan") from Horne123 Corporation. The Trust has learned that
the Loan was reported to one or more credit reporting agencies as being in default during
the time that the Debtors owned and/or serviced the Loan. However, the Trust's records
indicate that the Debtors no longer own this Loan as the Loan was transferred to a third

._*
party as of March 30, 2007 .

Accordingly, Leslie Barnes Marks does not owe the Debtors, including Home123
- Corporation, or the Trust any monies on account of the Loan. Please delete any entry in
Ms. Marks's credit report indicating otherwise.

Very truly yours,

Diane Denney

Re: TRA Partners v. Marks


Case # RG10545629

Dear Ms. Marks:

I have received numerous documents from you over the past few days which, among other things, advise that
you are not available to appear for the 2-25-2011 trial in the above action set for 8:45 a.m. in Dept. 1 of the Superior
Court located at 1225 Fallo,nStreet, Oakland, Cal. You have stated that you will be in Delaware on 2-23-2011 through 2-
25-2011 in connection with the 2-24-2011 continued hearing in the Adversary Proceeding that you filed in the Delaware
Bankruptcy Court.

In the event that you are not yet aware of same, the Delaware Bankruptcy court hearing has again been
continued. The 2-24-2011 hearing has been continued to 3-23-2011. I checked the court docket yesterday and
discovered a new filing dated 2-8-2011 that advises of the continuance. Thus you will not need to travel to Delaware
since there is no hearing set for 2-24-2011. You can appear at the trial in the eviction lawsuit on 2-25-2011. I will appear
in court on that date with my client and will not agree to any continuance of the trial. A decision in the eviction lawsuit
needs to.be rendered so that you and my client can proceed beyond the current standoff that exists.

V~J truly yours,

Re: TRA v Marks ACSC Case NO.RG10546852


Marks v Askew and TRA Partners LLC, ACSC Case No: RG10546852

Dear Mr. Eikenberry:

Last time I checked, you are not a judge. I am curious why you are notifying me of a
change of the date for the Evidentiary Hearing and I did not get this notification from the attorneys
at Hahn & Hesson, nor given the opportunity to object to any change, Furthermore, if such an
order exists, why did you NOT download same and present it to the California court as evidence.
To the best of my know/edge Judge Carey's order STANDS, I have paid for airfare and other travel
related expenses, and had to make special arrangements for my disabled son. That said, should
Judge Carey issue an order making such a change, you can collude with Hahn & Hesson to pay
for any costs lam forced incur to that end. Please provide evidence you have that changes the
orders of a Federal Bankruptcy Chief Justice.

Enclosed find courtesy copies of Objection to ANY Continuance; and the Motion to Compel
discovery responses from your clients.

Again, your clients have the burden of proof that they PERFECTED title PRIOR to bringing
the unlawful detainer action. While you are checking other cases to which you are NOT
representing any party in those actions, I FAIL to see any evidence whatsoever that confirms your
clients have PERFECTED title PRIOR TO BRINGING THE UNLAWFUL DETAINER ACTION.
You and your clients continue to present matters at bar to which the court has NO subject matter
jurisdiction over your clients failing to provide evidence of PERFECT title, and you LOST your
motion for summary judgment - NOT based on my response, based on DEFECTS in YOUR
motion. I will ask the court for costs of defending the frivolous action/motions brought by you and
your clients, sanctions and any other relief the courts deem fair just and proper.

OPINION

ORDER GRANTING WELLS FARGO'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT


PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

On April 7, 2010, Eustaquio N. Uy ("Plaintiff") filed a complaint ("Complaint") in this Court


against Wells Fargo Bank N.A. as Trustee for Carrington Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2006-
NC2 Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates ("Wells Fargo"), New Century Mortgage
Corporation ("New Century"), and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. ("MERS").
Doc. No. 1. On December 22, 2010, Wells Fargo filed the instant Motion for Summary
Judgment, or in the Alternative, Summary Adjudication ("Motion"). Doc. No. 13. The Motion
was supported by a memorandum, a separate concise statement of facts ("Def.'s CSF"), and
declarations and supporting exhibits [*2] from Wells Fargo and Carrington Mortgage
Services, LLC ("Carrington"). Doc. Nos. 14-17. On February 28, 2011, Plaintiff filed a
memorandum in opposition to the Motion ("Opp'n"), a concise statement of facts ("PI.'s

1
CSF"), a declaration from Plaintiff, and an exhibit. Doc. No. 24.1 On March 7, 2011, Wells
Fargo filed a reply memorandum in support of the Motion ("Reply"), a supplemental
declaration from Carrington, and evidentiary objections to Plaintiff's declaration. Doc. Nos.
27-29. The Court held a hearing on Wells Fargo's Motion on March 21, 2011. 2

FOOTNOTES

1 In violation of LR83.6(b), Robin R. Horner filed Plaintiff's opposition and supporting

documents on February 28, 2011, even though (1) Dexter K. Kaiama and Keoni K. Agard,

Plaintiff's attorneys of record, had not moved to withdraw for good cause and (2) the

Court had not granted leave for Horner to be substituted as attorney of record. Ultimately,

on March 3, 2011, Horner filed a proposed order allowing for the withdrawal of Plaintiff's

initial counsel and the appearance of Horner as substitute counsel. Doc. No. 25. Judge

Kobayashi signed the proposed order on March 7, 2011. Doc. No 26.

2 The docket indicates that New Century and MERS [*3] have not been served with a

summons and a copy of the Complaint. The Court will issue a separate Order To Show

Cause why the claims against these defendants should not be dismissed without prejudice

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).

At the March 21 hearing, the Court pointed out that New Century appears to be in

bankruptcy, and it invited supplemental briefing as to whether such bankruptcy affects the

Court's ability to now rule on the instant motion. See 11 U.S.c. § 362(a) (providing that a

Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition stays "commencement or continuation, including the

issuance or employment of process" of an action against a debtor based on prepetition

claims). Plaintiff thereafter filed a supplemental brief arguing that the Court cannot now

rule on the Motion, and should instead stay the instant matter in its entirety, because New

Century is a required party under Fed. R. Civ. P. 19(a)(l) that is and has been absent

from this case. Doc. No. 38. Wells Fargo filed a supplemental brief arguing that the Court

can now rule on the Motion because (1) New Century no longer has any interest in the

Note, Mortgage, or Property, (2) the Motion does not seek judgment of any kind against

New [*4] Century, and (3) on September 3, 2008, the court overseeing New Century's

bankruptcy filed an order terminating the automatic stay with respect to any interest in

2
real property that is, or in the past has been, deemed to be property of New Century

("9/3/08 Termination Order"). Doc. No. 36; see also Doc. No. 35 (9/3/08 Termination

Order and request for judicial notice of that order).

In light of the 9/3/08 Termination Order, which the Court takes judicial notice of, and

which was filed before Plaintiff filed his Complaint, New Century's bankruptcy clearly does

not preclude the Court from now ruling on the instant motion. In particular, the 9/3/08

Termination Order provides that the automatic stay and/or any injunction(s) triggered by

New Century's bankruptcy "are terminated[] with respect to any interest in real property

which may now be or some time in the past have been deemed to be property of [New

Century] ('Real Property'). Any party is hereby permitted to exercise its rights, if any,

under applicable non-bankruptcy law against any Real Property .... " 9/3/08 Termination

Order at 2. It also provides that "[t]he relief granted in this order shall apply without

further order of [*5] the Court. Any party seeking to exercise its non-bankruptcy rights

and remedies against Real Property shall not file a motion for relief from the automatic

stay .... " Id. at 3. Accordingly, New Century's bankruptcy has not prevented Plaintiff

from serving New Century with the Complaint or otherwise pursuing its claims against this

defendant. The Court will now rule on the instant motion; it is unnecessary for the Court

to reach Plaintiff's argument that New Century - a named defendant who has not been

served - is a required party under Fed. R. Civ. P. 19 or Wells Fargo's alternative

arguments.

MEMORANDUM DECISION
Case 10-17456-MM13 Filed 04/11/11 Doc 48 Pg. 2 of 16

1 US Bank National Association ("US Bank"), Trustee for the C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-

2 Backed Certificates, Series 2006-CB2, nonjudicially foreclosed on the residence of Debtor Eleazar

3 Salazar ("Salazar"), by exercising the power of sale under the deed of trust. At the time it foreclosed,

4 US Bank was not the original beneficiary of record, and it had not recorded an assignment of the deed

5 of trust conveying to it an interest in the deed of trust.

6 After the foreclosure, two lawsuits were filed in state court: Salazar filed to invalidate the

7 foreclosure sale and to seek damages against US Bank and other parties,' and US Bank filed to regain

8 possession of the residence through an unlawful detainer action against Salazar. The unlawful detainer

9 suit was on the verge of trial when Salazar filed his chapter 13 bankruptcy case.

10 In his bankruptcy, Salazar seeks to reinstate US Bank's loan against his residence and cure the

11 default, and US Bank seeks relief from stay in the bankruptcy to proceed with its unlawful detainer

12 action.i Salazar opposes stay relief, arguing US Bank does not have standing to seek relief from stay

13 because the foreclosure sale was defective, due to US Bank's failure to record an assignment of its

14 interest before foreclosures as required by California Civil Code section 2932.5.3 US Bank responds

15 that Civil Code section 2932.5 is not applicable to its deed of trust, and MERS' status as the original

16 beneficiary of the deed of trust obviated the recording of the assignment to US Bank.

17 While US Bank meets the minimal test for standing to seek relief from stay, Salazar's

18 foreclosure sale challenge must still be addressed to resolve the merits of US Bank's relief from stay

19 motion. Relying upon controlling California statutory and decisional authority, the Court concludes

20 MERS' original involvement in this loan does not provide talismanic protection against US Bank's

21 foreclosure deficiencies. US Bank's failure to record its beneficiary status before foreclosure left

22 Salazar with equitable title to his residence. Although this equitable title must be finally established in

23
24 The foreclosure suit was removed to district court, which was remanded to state court after the
federal claims were dismissed.
25 2
The Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334 (2010).
26 This is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § lS7(bX2)(G) (2010).

1 an adversary proceeding rather than a relief from stay motion, Salazar has demonstrated a prima facie

2 case that the foreclosure sale was void. Salazar thus has a significant property interest entitled to

3 protection by the automatic stay, and the Court denies relief at this time.

4 I. BACKGROUND

5 Accredited Home Lenders, Inc. ("Accredited") made a loan ("Loan") to Salazar in October 2005

6 secured by his residence located at 1268 Emerald Way, Calexico, California ("Property"). Salazar

7 executed a promissory note ("Note") to Accredited to document the Loan. To secure the Loan, Salazar

8 executed a four party deed of trust ("DOT") among Salazar as "Borrower", Accredited as "Lender,"

9 Chicago Title Company as trustee, and MERS as beneficiary.

10 Under the DOT, the Lender's rights regarding the Loan are pervasive. The Lender is entitled to

11 receive all payments under the Note and to enforce the DOT, including the exclusive right to conduct a

12 nonjudicial foreclosure."

13 MERS has none of these rights under the DOT,s and is not even mentioned in the Note. MERS

14 is not given any independent authority to enforce the DOT under its terms and MERS' status as

15 beneficiary under the DOT is only "nominal." While the Borrower acknowledges in the DOT that
.1
16 MERS can exercise Lender's rights as "necessary to comply with law or custom, ,,6 this
17

18
4 Under the DOT, the Lender has the exclusive right to: "(i) the repayment of the Loan, and all
19 renewals, extensions and modifications of the Note; and (ii) the performance of Borrower's covenants
and agreements under this Security Instrument and the Note." In addition, under the covenants executed
20 between Lender and Salazar, Lender is granted exclusive authority to accelerate repayment, "give notice
21 to Borrower prior to acceleration," and "invoke the power of sale" through written notice to the Trustee
in the event of default, and appoint successor trustees. DOT at pp. 3, 13.
22
5 The DOT defines MERS as a "separate corporation that is acting solely as a nominee for Lender
23 and Lender's successors and assigns. The DOT states, "MERS is the beneficiary under this Security
II

Instrument." DOT at p. 2.
24
6
The DOT on page three in the description of collateral section, provides that "Borrower understands and
25 agrees that MERS holds only legal title to the interests granted by Borrower in this Security Instrument, but, if
necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (as nominee of Lender and Lender's successors and assigns) has
26 the right: to exercise any or all of those interests, including, but not limited to, the right to foreclose and sell the
Property; and to take any action required of Lender including, but not limited to, releasing or cancelling this
27 Security Instrument." DOT at p. 3 (emphasis added).

Case 10-17456-MM 13 Filed 04/11/11 Doc 48 Pg. 4 of 16

1 acknowledgement is not accompanied by any actual allocation of authority to nonjudicially foreclose

2 on the DOT; nor is such authority allocated in any other document in the record.

3 After Salazar defaulted under the Loan, foreclosure proceedings were instituted. In June 2009,

4 MERS signed a substitution of trustee. Whether MERS retained any interest in the Loan after this time

5 is not clear. Both Litton Loan Servicing, LP ("Litton") and Quality Loan Service Corp. ("Quality")

6 were at different times identified as the party that Salazar should contact with questions about the

7 foreclosure. MERS had no apparent role in the foreclosure sale held on December 7, 2009, which was

8 largely run by Litton and Quality based upon the documents in the record. When the Trustee's Deed

9 Upon Sale ("Trustee's Deed") was recorded on December 14,2009, US Bank was identified as the

10 "foreclosing beneficiary," not MERS. While US Bank has presented evidence that the Note was
11 endorsed in blank, no evidence was offered as to when US Bank was assigned Accredited's interests as

12 Lender in the Note and DOT, and no assignment to US Bank of the beneficial interest in the DOT

13 appears in the public records.


While some of the foreclosure claims were pending in district court, the unlawful detainer
14
15 action came on for trial in state court on September 1,2010, and was continued to October 1,2010.

16 This bankruptcy case was filed the day before the continued trial, which stayed the unlawful detainer

17 action. US Bank then filed this relief from stay motion ("Motion") on October 26, 2010, which was

18 heard on November 23,2010, continued to January 11,2011, and continued again to January 25,2011

to allow for the submission of evidence and additional briefmg.


19
II. ANALYSIS
20
To determine whether to grant US Bank's Motion, the Court must first decide whether US Bank
21
has standing to bring it. The Court must then address the merits of the Motion, which will require
22
consideration of whether Salazar retains any interest in the Property that is necessary for an effective
23
reorganization, and whether allowing the unlawful detainer action to proceed in state court will promote
24
the efficient administration of the bankruptcy and limit prejudice to the parties.
25
A. Standing
26
Due to the limited scope and expedited nature of a relief from stay proceeding, the standing
27
requirement is not difficult to meet. Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that stay relief
28

MEMORANDUM DECISION
4 tx
Case 10-17456-MM13 Filed 04/11/11 Doc 48 Pg. 5 of 16

111may be granted to a "party in interest," and any party affected by the stay should be entitled to seek

211relief. 3 Collier on Bankruptcy ~ 362.07[2] (3d ed. rev. 2010). In the Ninth Circuit, challenges to

311secured claims are typically resolved in plenary proceedings. Johnson v. Righetti (In re Johnson), 756

411F.2d 738, 740 (9th Cir. 1985) (liThe validity of the claim or contract underlying the claim is not

511litigated during the hearing."), overruled on other grounds by Travelers Cas. & Sur. Co. v. Pac. Gas &

611Elec. Co., 549 U.S. 443 (2007); Biggs v. Stovin (In re Luz Int'!), 219 B.R. 837,841-42 (B.A.P. 9th Cir.

7111998). Even so, the moving party must establish a prima facie case of its claim or rights against a

811debtor or its estate to seek relief from stay. In re Bialac, 694 F.2d 625, 627 (9th Cir. 1982); In re Aniel,

911427 B.R. 811, 816 (Bankr. N.D. Cal. 2010).

1011 A prima facie case of standing requires the moving party demonstrate an undisputed interest in

1111the bankruptcy case that is hindered by the automatic stay. Standing is lacking where a secured creditor

1211cannot present the rudimentary elements of its claim. In re Gavin, 319 B.R. 27, 32 (B.A.P. 1st Cir.

13112004) (holding the moving party could not trace the chain oftitle through valid endorsements); In re

1411Wilhelm, 407 B.R. 392, 398 (Bankr. D. Idaho 2009)("each Movant must show that it has an interest in

1511the relevant note, and that it has been injured by debtor's conduct"). If the moving party has a right to

1611assert a claim, even though the claim is disputed, standing to seek stay relief may be found. Brown

1711Transp. Truckload v. Humboldt Express, 118 B.R. 889, 893 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. 1990) (finding the non-

1811creditor had standing for stay relief to pursue action against debtor in another forum); In re Vieland,41

19 B.R. 134, 139 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio 1984) (purchaser at ajudicial foreclosure sale acquired some interest

20 in debtor's property and was a party in interest).

2111 US Bank is the record title owner of the Property under the recorded Trustee's Deed, even if the

2211foreclosure sale was invalid. US Bank therefore has standing to seek relief from stay. Even though US

2311Bank has established a prima facie case of standing, however, the Court must still determine if US

2411Bank's foreclosure sale was valid to rule on the merits of the Motion.

2511 B. Salazar's Property Interest in the Residence

2611 Whether Salazar may retain valuable equitable title in the Property despite the foreclosure sale

2711is critical to the Motion. McCarthy, Johnson & Miller v. North Bay Plumbing, Inc. (In re Pettit), 217

1 F.3d 1072, 1077 (9th Cir. 2000) (whether debtor retained a property interest in registry funds

2 determined whether stay applied). To decide the Motion, the Court must evaluate whether Salazar has

3 equity in the Property necessary for an effective reorganization and whether cause exists to grant relief

4 to US Bank. Bialac, 694 F.2d at 627 (nit was within the bankruptcy court's discretion to consider the

5 construction of the note's payment terms in the § 362(d) proceeding if they were important to the issue

6 of valuation"); In re Bebensee-Wong, 248 B.R. 820,823 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2000) (court first determined

7 whether the trustee's deed after foreclosure was timely recorded; since foreclosure sale was valid, relief

8 from stay was granted to allow unlawful detainer action to proceed); cf In re Hoopai, No. 04-02511,

9 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 42760, at *11-* 15 (D. Haw. 2005) (relief from stay denied to foreclosing

10 creditor because the property might have value to the estate).

11 If US Bank's foreclosure sale was invalid, Salazar has an interest in the Property which militates

12 in favor of continuing the stay. If US Bank was not authorized to foreclose the DOT under Civil Code

13 section 2932.5, the foreclosure sale may be void, and Salazar would not need to tender the full amount

14 of the Loan to set aside the sale. Bank of America, N.A. v. La Jolla Group II, 129 Cal. App. 4th 706,

15 710, 717 (5th Dist. 2005) (void foreclosure sale required rescission of trustee's deed returning title to

16 the status quo prior to the foreclosure sale); Dimockv. Emerald Properties, 81 Cal. App. 4th 868,874

17 (4th Dist. 2000) (sale under deed of trust by former trustee void, and tender of the amount due is

18 unnecessary). In this event, Salazar could potentially restructure the Loan and reorganize his financial

19 affairs in his chapter 13 case. The Court emphasizes however, that US Bank's defenses to Salazar's

20 Civil Code section 2932.5 claim must be resolved either in state court or in another proper proceeding

21 as these defenses are not before the Court.

22 1. Assignments Must be Recorded Before Foreclosure

23 US Bank, as the foreclosing beneficiary and assignee of Accredited's interest in the Loan, had to

24 meet both requirements of Civil Code section 2932.57 for the foreclosure to be valid. Under that

25
11---------------------
7
26 Civil Code section 2932.5 provides:
Where a power to sell real property is given to a mortgagee,or other encumbrancer,in
27 an instrumentintendedto securethe payment of money, the power is part of the security
and vests in any person who by assignmentbecomes entitledto payment of the money
28

111statute. First, US Bank had to be entitled to payment of the secured debt. Civ. Code § 2932.5; see also

211Civ. Code § 2936 (Deering 2010); Comm. Code § 9203(a), (g) (Deering 2011); Carpenter v. Longan,

31183 U.S. 271,274 (1872) (the assignment of the note carries the mortgage with it); Polhemus v. Trainer,

4//30 Cal. 686, 688 (1866) (the mortgage always abides with the debt). US Bank claims to be the holder

511of the Note, which was endorsed in blank by Accredited, and US Bank's status as holder of the Note

6 meets the first requirement of Civil Code section 2932.5.

7 Second, Civil Code section 2932.5 also requires that US Bank's status as foreclosing beneficiary

8 appear before the sale in the public record title for the Property. This second requirement was not met.

9 US Bank offers two primary reasons why a recorded assignment of the DOT is unnecessary: (1) Civil

10 Code section 2932.5 applies to mortgages, and not to its DOT; and (2) MERS' recorded interest as the

11 nominal beneficiary was sufficient to satisfy Civil Code section 2932.5, particularly since the transfer

12 by Accredited to US Bank could be tracked in the publicly accessible MERS system.


The Court's analysis leads it to conclude that Civil Code section 2932.5 requires US Bank's
13
1411assigned beneficial interest be recorded despite MERS' initial role under the DOT, and that the statutory

15 foreclosure scheme trumps MERS' proposed alternative system.

2. Civil Code Section 2932.5 Applies to Deeds of Trust


16
In claiming Civil Code section 2932.5 does not apply to its DOT, US Bank relies on Caballero
17
18 v. Bank of America, No. IO-CV-02973, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 122847, at *8 (N.D. Cal. 2010) (citing

2111CV-F-09-1942, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 40377, at*32 (E.D. Cal. 2010).8 These cases note that Civil

secured by the instrument. The power of sale may be exercised by the assignee if the
assignment is duly acknowledged and recorded.
23
2411Civ. Code § 2932.5 (Deering2011) (emphasis added).

Fund v. Zamora (In re Silverman), 616 F.3d 1001, 1005(9th Cir. 2010). While the Ninth Circuit reserved the
2611issue of whether bankruptcycourts are bound by district court decisionswithin the district where the
II bankruptcy court sits, it recognized that such a requirement "could create the same problem of subjecting
27 bankruptcycourts to a non-uniformbody of law." Id.

111Code section 2932.5 mentions only assignees of mortgage interests, whereas in those cases, and here,

2 the instrument foreclosed upon was a deed of trust.

3 Historically, a technical distinction existed between deeds oftrust and mortgages. For deeds of

411trust, title vested in the trustee. For mortgages, title remained with the mortgagors. This distinction,

5 however, has been determined to be obsolete. Bank of Italy Nat. Trust & Sav. Assn. v. Bentley, 217

1611limitations on judicial and nonjudicial foreclosure")."

17 The outdated distinction between mortgages and deeds of trust is especially moribund in the

18 context of borrower's rights in the nonjudicial foreclosure context, such as the borrower rights protected

1911by Civil Code section 2932.5. Bank of Italy, 217 Cal. at 658 ("[I]mportant rights and duties of the

2011parties should not be made to depend on the more or less accidental form of the security."); Dimock, 81

2111Cal. App. 4th at 877 ("[The title distinction] has been ignored in order to afford borrowers with the

2211protection provided to mortgagors. "). Civil Code section 2932.5 protects borrowers from confusion as

2311to the ownership of their loans. Stockwell, 7 Cal. App. at 416-17; Bank of America, 129 Cal. App. 4th

24
9 The two other historical distinctionsbetween mortgages and deeds of trust identified in Bank of Italy,
2511217Cal. at 656, are also defunct. Both mortgages and deeds of trusts are now subjectto time limitations on
enforcementunder sections 880.020-887.09of the MarketableRecord Title Act. Civ. Code §§ 880.020-887.09
2611(Deering 2011). Bernhardt,supra, § 1.35. In addition, Code of Civil Procedure section 729.010 now provides

6 applied to deeds of trust to ensure trustors are provided the same protection as mortgagors under

7 California law.

8 The borrower concern addressed by Civil Code section 2932.5-that it be able to identify the

9 assignee of its loan-is more exigent, not less, than it was during the Great Depression, when Bank of

10 Italy was decided. Problems with the residential mortgage foreclosure process have been widely

11 chronicled. See Katherine Porter, Misbehavior and Mistake in Bankruptcy Mortgage Claims, 87 Tex.

22 Specifically in the context of loan assignments, there are "serious distributional consequences to all

23 parties in a bankruptcy if a mortgagee cannot prove it holds a valid security interest." See Porter,

24 supra, at 148-49.

25 Because controlling Supreme Court authority requires this Court to enforce statutory borrower

26 protections regardless of whether nonjudicial foreclosure is sought under a mortgage or a deed of trust,

27 the Court must conclude Civil Code section 2932.5 applies to US Bank's DOT here.

1 3. Recorded Assignment Necessary Despite MERS' Role

211 US Bank also claims MERS' status as nominal beneficiary under the DOT obviated the

311recording of the assignment of the DOT under Civil Code section 2932.5. This claim fails because

411MERS was not the beneficiary at the time of the foreclosure here, even if it was initially the nominal

511beneficiary under the DOT. The DOT also does not grant MERS any authority apart from the nominal

611role.

711 The recitals in the Trustee's Deed identify US Bank alone as the foreclosing beneficiary, and

811this recital provides "prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements." DOT at ~ 22.10 See also

911Bank of America, 129 Cal. App. 4th at 831-32 (recitals in a trustee's deed create a presumption of the

1011truth of the statements); Dimock, 81 Cal. App. 4th at 877 (deed of trust may authorize that recitals shall

1111be conclusive proof of the truthfulness of the fact). Even though MERS was the beneficiary at the time

1211of inception, it was not so at the time of the foreclosure. In part due to this factual distinction, this

1311Court is not bound by Gomes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 192 Cal. App. 4th 1149, 1151-58 (4th

1411Dist. 2011), or Pantoja v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 640 F. Supp. 2d 1177, 1188 (N.D. Cal.

15112009).

1611 In Gomes, the Court of Appeal held Civil Code section 2924(a)(1) does not establish a cause of

1711action to permit a borrower to test MERS' authority to initiate a nonjudicial foreclosure, where there is

1811no specific factual basis to challenge this authority. Civil Code section 2924( a)(l) permits an array of

1911authorized parties to take the steps to initiate foreclosure, including the trustee, beneficiary and their

2011authorized agents. Gomes, 192 Cal. App. 4th at 1156. Neither Gomes nor Civil Code section

21112924( a)(I), applies to the questions here: Whether US Bank as Accredited's assignee has authority to

2211foreclose. This issue is instead addressed by Civil Code section 2932.5. In fact, Gomes specifically

2311declined to decide the outcome where the facts demonstrated "the wrong party initiated the foreclosure

2411process." Id. at 1155 (distinguishing Weingartner v. Chase Home Finance, LLC, 702 F.Supp.2d 1276

6 Gomes thus left open the situation here, where US Bank conducted the nonjudicial foreclosure as

7 beneficiary, but a different party, MERS, was the beneficiary of record.

8 Gomes also relied upon the borrower's acknowledgement ofMERS' authority to foreclose as

9 nominal beneficiary. Gomes, 192 Cal. App. 4th at 1157-58; see also Pantoja, 640 F. Supp. 2d at 1189-

10 90. Even if US Bank had not replaced MERS as the foreclosing beneficiary by the time of the

11 foreclosure here, MERS still had no authority to nonjudicially foreclose under Salazar's DOT under its

12 express terms. The Lender, not MERS, had the right to "invoke the power of sale" under the DOT, ~

13 22, here. This acknowledgement ofMERS' authority also did not extend so far as to permit it to

14 foreclose. Salazar's acknowledgement was limited to the situation where MERS' enforcement actions

15 were "necessary to comply with law or custom" (emphasis added). Whatever "necessary to comply

16 with law or custom" means, and there is no evidence in the record to explain it, it should not mean that

17 US Bank or MERS can contract away their obligations to comply with the foreclosure statutes.V

18 Salazar's acknowledgment could also not be interpreted as an enforceable waiver of his right as

19 borrower under Civil Code section 2932.5 to be informed of the identity of the assignee. The

20 acknowledgement fails to meet the stringent test for waivers of residential borrower protections in the

21
22 11 This Court is, in any event, not bound by the Gomes decision because it believes the California
Supreme Court would have followed its decision in Polhemus v. Trainer, 30 Cal. at 688, as well as the
23 statutoryrequirementsof Civil Code sections 2932.5, 2936, and CommercialCode sections 9203(a)-(g),
and found that Civil Code section 2932.5 must be compliedwith despite any designation ofMERS as a
24 nominal beneficiary in the DOT. See Vestar Dev. Il, LLC v, Gen. Dynamics Corp., 249 F.3d 958, 960
(9th Cir. 2001) (a federal court, in determininghow the high court would rule, must consider
25 "intermediateappellate court decisions, decisionsfrom otherjurisdictions, statutes,treatises, and
restatementsas guidance,"and follow an appellate decision only if there is no convincingevidencethat
26 the state supremecourt would decide differently).
27 12 MERS was not the payee of the secured debt, and thus could not satisfy the first requirementof
28 Civil Code section 2932.5 in any event.

111foreclosure context. Under Cathay Bank v. Lee, 14 Cal. App. 4th 1533, 1539 (4th Dist. 1993), a waiver

211of borrower protections must be specific and explain the substance of the statutory rights at issue. In

311 Cathay Bank, id., the court refused to enforce language of a deed of trust authorizing the lender to
411exercise the power of sale, because it served to waive the guarantor's defense to the deficiency claim. 13

511 See also Miller v. United States, 363 F. 3d 999, 1006 (9th Cir. 2004); Hoffman v. Blum, No. C06-2416
611MHP, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 7643, at *8 (N.D. Cal. 2008) ("any waiver of an important statutory right

711must be knowing and intelligent"); DeBerard Properties v. Lim., 20 Cal. 4th 659,670 (1999) (borrower

811protection foreclosure provision in Code of Civil Procedure section 580(b) cannot be waived even

911though it is not included in the list of non-waivable foreclosure provisions detailed in Civil Code

1011section 2953).

1111 As a matter of fact, US Bank did not rely on MERS to nonjudicially foreclose on Salazar's

1211residence here. As a matter oflaw, Salazar's acknowledgment cannot be read as a waiver of his right to

1311be informed of a change in beneficiary status. For both of these reasons, Gomes, 192 Cal. App. 4th at

14111157-58, is distinguishable.

15 4. MERS System is not an Alternative to Statutory Foreclosure Law

1611 The Court also rejects US Bank's invitation to overlook the statutory foreclosure mandates of

1711California law, and rely upon MERS as an extra-judicial commercial alternative. 14 The full scope of

1811California's nonjudicial foreclosure law, found at Civil Code sections 2020-2955, exhaustively covers

1911every aspect of the real estate foreclosure process and must be respected. f E. Associates v. Safeco

2011 Title Ins. Co., 39 Cal. 3d 281,285 (1985) (refusing to supplement the notice requirements found in
2111Civil Code section 2924); Dimock, 81 Cal. App. 4th at 874 (holding a sale under a deed of trust by

221Iformer trustee void as failing to comply with Civil Code section 2934); Moeller v. Lien, 25 Cal. App.

23 .. 13
Cathay Bank's holding, 14 Cal. App. 4th at 1539,was later limited by legislationto commercial
2411transactions.Civ. Code § 2856(e). However, it is still relevant for consumertransactions involving
borrowers'residences such as the one before the Court.

The Court notes that circumventingthe public recordation system is, in fact, the purpose for which the
2611MERS system was created. Merscorp, Inc. v. Romaine, No. 179, 2006 NY Slip Op. 9500, slip op. 6 (Ct. of

4 Apts., LLC v. Butler (In re Butler), 271 B.R. 867, 873 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 2002). This Court instead

5 joins the courts in other states that have rejected MERS' offer of an alternative to the public recording

6 system. In re Agard, No. 1O-77338-reg, 2011 Bankr. LEXIS 488, at *58-*59 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Feb.

9 03004912005,2006 NY Slip Op 51534U, slip op. 2 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 2006).

10 US Bank as the foreclosing assignee was obligated to record its interest before the sale despite

11 MERS' initial role under the DOT, and this role cannot be used to bypass Civil Code section 2932.5.

12 Since US Bank failed to record its interest, Salazar has a valid property interest in his residence that is

13 entitled to protection through the automatic stay.

14 c. Cause Does Not Exist to Grant Relief from Stay

15 US Bank seeks relief from stay on two statutory grounds: 11 U.S.c. § 362(d)(I) (2011) (cause,
16 including-Iack of adequate protection of an interest in property), and 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(2) (2011) (lack

17 of equity and property not necessary for an effective reorganization). Whether the stay should be lifted

18 to permit the unlawful detainer litigation to proceed in state court under 11 U.S.C. §§ 362(d)(I) and (2)

19 requires consideration of the following factors: effective administration of the estate, avoiding

20 prejudice to the parties, and promoting judicial economy. Benedor Corp. v. Conejo Enters. (In re

21 Conejo Enters.), 96 F.3d 346, 352 (9th Cir. 1996) (affirming the bankruptcy court's refusal to lift the

22 stay to allow state court litigation to proceed because maintenance of the stay promoted judicial

23 economy by minimizing duplicative litigation and advanced the efficient administration of the estate);"

24 In re Kronemyer, 405 B.R. 915, 921 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2009).

25 IS Whether the bankruptcy court should abstain from deciding state law issues pending in an
imminent state.court trial was previouslydeterminative in the stay relief context. In re TucsonEstates,
26 Inc., 912 F.2d 1162, 1166 (9th Cir. 1990). After the statutory changes in 28 U.S.C. § 1334(c)(2) and 28
US.C. § 1334(d), the Ninth Circuit in Conejo, 96 F.3d at 352 clarified that so long as the record supports
27 discretion exercised by the bankruptcy court in denying relief from stay, this factor is no longer
determinative.
28

MEMORANDUM DECISION
13 Ex
Case 10-17456-MM 13 Filed 04/11/11 Doc 48 Pg. 14 of 16

1 1. Effective Administration of the Estate


2 Maximizing the opportunities for reorganization of the estate is the most important factor in

3 determining whether to grant relief from stay to permit litigation in another forum to proceed. Conejo,

4 96 F.3d at 353. Salazar, in his chapter 13 case, seeks to regain title to the Property by invalidating the

5 foreclosure sale and curing the default on the Loan to US Bank. Salazar's reorganization could be

6 thwarted if the Court allows the foreclosure issues to proceed before it determines whether there is

7 equity in the Property, or whether Salazar can restructure US Bank's debt in his reorganization.

8 2. Prejudice to the Parties

9 Denying relief from stay at this time is the least prejudicial option for both parties. Even if the

10 stay prohibits US Bank from regaining possession of the Property in the near term, that inconvenience

11 is appropriate because the foreclosure process was flawed. The Court has scheduled a further hearing

12 on relief from stay to determine the economic feasibility of Salazar's plan, and also to order that

13 adequate protection payments be made to US Bank to prevent diminution of the value of its collateral.

14 11 U.S.C. §§ 361, 363(e) (2011); United Sav. Ass'n of Texas v. Timbers of Inwood Forest Assocs., Ltd.,

15 484 U.S. 365, 370 (1988) (adequate protection payments can protect valid interests of creditors).
In contrast, Salazar could be substantially prejudiced by loss of his property interest if the
16
unlawful detainer action proceeded even though the foreclosure sale may be void. Salazar has
17
established a prima facie case of ownership of the Property, subject to whatever defenses US Bank
18
might bring in the state court proceeding. These rights should be protected by the automatic stay,
19
assuming US Bank's economic interests in the Loan are adequately protected.
20
3. Considerations of Judicial Economy.
21
Challenges to US Bank's foreclosure sale are simultaneously pending in state and bankruptcy
22
court, creating the potential for confusion and a waste of judicial resources. Even if not specifically
23
raised in the unlawful detainer proceeding, the validity of the foreclosure sale could be decided by
24
default. Cheney v. Trauzette, 9 Cal. 2d 158 (1937); Seidell v. Anglo-California Trust Co., 55 Cal. App.
25
2d 913,920 (3d Dist. 1942) (challenges to foreclosure sales are barred if not raised in unlawful detainer
26
action). Maintaining the automatic stay until the Court can hear US Bank defenses, and can assess
27
Salazar's reorganization prospects, preserves judicial resources.
28

Case 10-17456-MM 13 Filed 04/11/11 Doc 48 Pg. 15 of 16

1 ID. CONCLUSION

2 Even though US Bank has standing to seek relief from stay as the record title owner of the

3 Property, Salazar currently has an equitable title interest for the automatic stay to protect. The Court

4 rejects the claim that MERS' limited role in the DOT provides it carte blanche authority over the

5 nonjudicial foreclosure process. To enable the bankruptcy and foreclosure issues between the parties to

6 be efficaciously addressed, the Court denies the Motion without prejudice. A status conference will be

7 held on this matter on April 21, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. in this Court to determine the amount of the adequate

8 protection payments to be provided to US Bank and to schedule necessary future proceedings

9 consistent with this ruling.

10 This Memorandum Decision will constitute the Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law.

11 Counsel for Salazar is directed to prepare an order in accordance with this Memorandum Decision

12 within ten (10) days of the date of entry.

13 IT IS SO ORDERED.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No. 1O-CR-22

THOMAS P. CHICOINE,

Defendant.

ORDER

The defendant has filed a motion to relocate from Wausau, Wisconsin to Chicago, lllinois,

so that he will be able to accept an offer of employment as a tennis coach. The defendant seeks

permission to travel to the Chicago area on March 7, 2011 in an attempt to locate housing in

advance of the start date for his new employment.

The motion will be denied. Defendant is due to be sentenced on March 22, 2011 on

convictions for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Wire fraud carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and aggravated identity theft carries

a mandatory minimum imprisonment of 2 years consecutive to the sentence imposed on the wire

fraud count. Given the potential sentences the defendant is facing, it makes no sease to establish

a new home in Chicago less than 2 weeks before his sentencing date. In the event a prison sentence

is not imposed, the defendant will be free at that time-to arrange employment in Chicago or any

other location. At this time, and given the history of the case, the motion is denied.

SO ORDERED this 3rd day of March, 2011.
