Motion:
- Type: Summary Judgment
- Purpose: Recover mortgage balance, obtain possession of 157 Willow Avenue, and claim interest and costs.
- Outcome: Motion dismissed except for determining the outstanding mortgage amount.
Background:
- The Property had a first mortgage with Community First Credit Union (CFCU) and a second mortgage with The Real Estate Stop Inc.
- Defendant defaulted on the second mortgage, triggering power of sale proceedings.
- Dacian Vladuleasa (Daci) misappropriated $400,000 used to acquire the Property.
- Plaintiff took assignment of the second mortgage, created a Loan Agreement for $172,010.35, and secured a third mortgage for $300,000.
Key Issues and Findings:
- Mortgage Renewal:
- The CFCU mortgage renewal did not constitute refinancing and did not make the third mortgage amount due.
- Share Transfer:
- Daci's share transfer to Tsokas did not trigger a default under the Loan Agreement.
- Mortgage Amount:
- Correct outstanding amount was $148,010.35, not $308,678.07 claimed by plaintiff.
Conclusion:
- Motion for summary judgment dismissed.
- Notice of sale under the third mortgage declared void.
Total Monetary Award/Costs/Damages Granted/Ordered:
- Monetary Award: The court determined that the correct outstanding mortgage amount was $148,010.35, but this does not represent a new monetary award; it is a clarification of the amount due under the mortgage.
- Costs: The court did not specify an amount for costs. The parties were instructed to submit cost submissions if they could not agree on costs within the specified time frame.
