ARMANDO RIVAS v. BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON

Appellant I Petitioner(s) Appellee I Respondent(s)

BY ORDER OF THE COURT:

ORDERED that appellant's November 2, 2017 request for emergency treatment is denied; further,

ORDERED that appellant's November 1, 2017 second revised emergency motion to stay pending appeal is denied. This court notes that this is the third almost identical "emergency motion" and request for emergency treatment filed in this court. The appellant is reminded that an "emergency" is a matter of extreme urgency that requires IMMEDIATE action by this Court in order to avoid imminent, irreparable, and material harm. The appellant is cautioned that further frivolous filings of "emergency motions" may subject the appeal to dismissal or the court in its discretion may impose other sanctions. See USAA Gas. Ins. Co. v. Pembroke Pines MRI, Inc. 24 So. 3d 588, 589 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009) ("Pleadings filed as emergencies disrupt court procedures and interrupt work on cases that were already going. Consequently, an attorney who seeks 'emergency' review immediately loses credibility if this court discovers there is no true emergency.").

APPELLATE :4Dl 7-2704 LTB:Case No.: 2012CA010633XXXMB

APPELLANT'S SECOND REVISED EMERGENCY MOTION TO STAY PENDING APPEAL

Comes now The Appellant Armando Rivas and respectfully moves this Honorable Appellate

Court for a stay of proceedings in this action. including a stay and cancellation of the sale

scheduled for November 27 . 2017. pending the resolution of the appeal in the Fourth District

Court of Appeal. In support of this Motion, Defendants states as follows:

A final judgment was entered on August 25TH , 2017. An appeal was filed on August

25,2017 in Fourth DCA case number 4D 17-2704. The appeal involves LACK OF STANDING

AND WRONGFUL FORECLOSURE THE APPELLANT HAS DOZENS OF DISTRICT

COURT CASES FROM THE 4DCA ON ALL THE ISSUES INVOLVED THAT WILL

REQUIRE REVERSAL BY LAW this case is similar and on point with so many case law from

this court including the latest "JUSTIN FRlEDLE V. THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON

4D 15-1750 The homeowner now moves for a stay pending resolution of the appeal.

A trial court has discretion in deciding whether to grant a stay or not. In deciding, courts

can look to the appellate rules to determine if a stay is appropriate. A trial court can grant a stay

under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.310 for the purpose of preserving the status quo

I f

I I

during an appellate proceeding. See Hirsch v. Hirsch, 309 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975); Fla. R.

App. R. 9.31 O(a) (courts have discretion in deciding whether to grant a stay pending appellate

review). Factors to be considered include the moving party's likelihood of success on appeal and

the likelihood of harm should a stay not be granted. State ex rel. Price v. McCord, 380 So. 2d

I 037 (Fla. 1980); Perez v. Perez, 769 So. 2d 389, n. 4 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999); Sunbeam Television

v. Clear Channel Metroplex, Inc., Case No. 3D 12-21423 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012). ·

Argument goes hear.

To weight the harm to Mr. Rivas should the stay not be granted, there will be little harm

to the Appellee I DEFENDANT. The property is fully secured at this point so there is no risk of

losing equity. the debt is now secured up to $840,000.00. and the Appellant is willing to post a

Bond for an additional $1,000.00 dollars if required and ordered by the court as further good

faith. Further, the APPELLANT is likely to succeed based on the recent Florida Supreme Court

decision in Bartram v U.S. Bank National Association, Case No. SC14-1265, (Fla. November 3,

2016), reh 'g pending, extended Singleton v. Greymar Associates, 882 2d 1004 (Fla. 2014) to

provide the framework on how courts should treat statute of limitations regarding mortgage

foreclosures. The Bartram court, in answering the certified question, held that an earlier

dismissal is a revocation of acceleration and that only post dismissal defaults can be used to

foreclose in a future case, a lender is "not precluded by the statute of limitations from filing a

subsequent foreclosure action based on payment defaults occurring subsequent to the dismissal

4 the first j(Jreclosure action, as long as the alleged subsequent default occurred within five

years of the subsequent foreclosure action. When a mortgage foreclosure action is involuntarily

dismissed pursuant to Rule l.420(b), either with or without prejudice, the effect of the

involuntary dismissal is revocation of the acceleration, which then reinstates the mortgagor's

2 J

I I ~ ' i

right to continue to make payments on the note and the right of the mortgagee, to seek

acceleration and foreclosure based on the mortgagor's subsequent defaults." Bartram, at 3

(emphasis added). Even the bank in Bartram acknowledged that only post-dismissal defaults

could trigger a new default to foreclose in a subsequent proceeding:

The Bank acknowledged, however, that it could not seek to foreclose the Mortgage based on Bartram's defaults prior to the first foreclosure action, but could seek foreclosure based on defaults occurring subsequent to the dismissal of the first.foreclosure action.

Id. at 6 (emphasis added). In explaining its conclusion the Florida Supreme Court again made

mention of the requirement that defaults be post-dismissal to foreclose, "it is entirely consistent

with, and follows from, our reasoning in Singleton that each subsequent de.fault accruing after

the dismissal <~lan earlier ji.1redosure action creates a new cause of action, regardless of whether

that dismissal was entered with or without prejudice." Bartram at 11-12 (emphasis added). Just

in case the Florida Supreme Court was not clear enough it went on to apply the post-dismissal

language to the Bartram case specifically by explaining:

[I]f, in the month after the dismissal of the foreclosure action, Bartram began to make monthly payments on the note, the Bank could not have subsequently accelerated the entire note until there were future defaults. Once there were future defaults, however, the Bank had the right to file a subsequent foreclosure action­and to seek acceleration of all sums due under the note-so long as the foreclosure action was based on a subsequent default, and the statute of limitations had not run on that particular default.

Bartram. at 13. Therefore, the Florida Supreme Court has made it clear that pre-dismissal

defaults should not be used to default a homeowner in a subsequent proceeding.

***Defendant also requests for this court to respectfully issue an opinion on its order as this

order is without any opinion needed for the supreme court to take Jurisdiction over any appeals

and as is required by law. ***

3

WHEREFORE, given that Appellant has shown a high likelihood of success on appeal

and that Appellant will suffer irremediable harm if the foreclosure auction is allowed to proceed

on NOVEMBER 27,20 I 7. as opposed to the lack of harm the Appellee will suffer, Appellant

PRAYS and respectfully moves the Court to stay the case while the appeal is pending as the

Appellee in conspiracy with the clerk have also maliciously delayed the docket to be sent over to

this honorable of court.

William P. Keller of Akerman LLP, Fort Lauderdale, and Nancy M. Wallace of Akerman LLP, Tallahassee, for Amicus Curiae Mortgage Bankers Association.

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

WARNER, J.

We grant the motions for rehearing and clarification filed by appellee and amicus, withdraw the opinion, and substitute the following opinion in its place.

Appellants challenge a final judgment of foreclosure, contending that the Bank failed to prove standing. Because the appellee did not prove that

the Bank had possession of the note and was thus a holder at the time of the filing of the complaint, we reverse.

The standard of review in determining whether a party has standing to bring an action is de novo. Boyd v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 143 So. 3d 1128, 1129 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014). To prove standing in a mortgage foreclosure case, the plaintiff must prove its status as a holder of the note at the time of the filing of the complaint as well as at trial. See Rigby v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 84 So. 3d 1195 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012). In this case, the foreclosing bank's witness could not testify that the Bank had possession of the note prior to filing the complaint. The Bank conceded that it presented no testimony that its present servicer or its prior servicer had possession of the note at the inception of the foreclosure action.

At trial, the Bank attempted to prove possession of the note through a Pooling and Service Agreement ("PSA"). That document purports to show the transfer of the mortgage loan to the Bank as trustee. Appellant objected to the admission of this evidence, which the court allowed on the ground that it was self-authenticating under section 90.902, Florida Statutes (2016). While it was certified by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as being filed with that agency, and thus was self­authenticating, there is a difference between authentication and admissibility. Charles Ehrhardt explains the difference:

Documents must be authenticated before they are admissible evidence .... Even after a document is authenticated, it will not be admitted if another exclusionary rule is applicable. For example, when a document is hearsay, it is inadmissible even if it has been properly authenticated.

Charles W. Ehrhardt, Florida Evidence§ 902.1 (2017 ed.). Here, the PSA purportedly establishes a trust of pooled mortgages, but this particular mortgage was not referenced in the documents filed with the SEC. Appellant objected that the document was hearsay, as none of the exceptions to the hearsay rule were established. The Bank did not present sufficient evidence through its witness to admit this unsigned document as its business record. While the witness testified that a mortgage loan schedule, which listed the subject mortgage, was part of the Bank's business records, the mortgage loan schedule itself does not purport to show that the actual loan was physically transferred. And it is clear from the testimony that the witness had no knowledge of the workings of the PSA or MLS, nor did any other document or testimony show that the note was transferred to the Bank in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

2

Therefore, the evidence in this case does not establish that this mortgage note was within the possession of the Bank as Trustee at the time suit was filed. I

In its answer brief, the Bank also relies on Ortiz v. PNC Bank, National Ass'n, 188 So. 3d 923 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016), to support the court's rulings under a tipsy coachman analysis. In Ortiz, we created a presumption of standing if the note attached to the complaint was the same as the note introduced at trial. We said:

[I]f the Bank later files with the court the original note in the same condition as the copy attached to the complaint, then we agree that the combination of such evidence is sufficient to establish that the Bank had actual possession of the note at the time the complaint was filed and, therefore, had standing to bring the foreclosure action, absent any testimony or evidence to the contrary.

Id. at 925 (emphasis added). Here, the note attached to the complaint was not in the same condition as the original note introduced at trial, as pointed out by the appellants in their reply brief. Although the differences may seem minor, Ortiz infers possession at the time of filing suit where the copy attached to the complaint and the original are the same, as the copy must have been made from the original note at the time that the complaint was filed, without evidence to the contrary. Where the copy differs from the original, the copy could have been made at a significantly earlier time and does not carry the same inference of possession at the filing of the complaint. In this case, as Ortiz had not been decided at the time of the trial, no effort was made to explain the discrepancies in the condition of the note attached to the complaint or the original introduced into evidence. Thus, reliance on Ortiz under a tipsy coachman analysis is not appropriate on the record made in this case. Although appellate courts generally apply the law in effect at the time of the appellate court's decision, Florida East Coast Railway Co. v. Rouse, 194 So. 2d 260, 262 (Fla. 1966), the record must be sufficiently developed to support an alternative theory for affirmance. See State Farm Fire and Casualty Co v. Levine, 837 So. 2d 363

1 We have held in past cases that the PSA together with a mortgage loan schedule are sufficient to prove standing, but in those cases the witness offering the evidence appears to have been able to testify to the relationship of the various documents and their workings, or that the documents were admitted into evidence without objection. See, e.g., Boulous v. U.S. Bank Nat'[ Ass'n., 210 So. 3d 691 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016).

I

(Fla. 2002) (ruling that the court could not affirm a decision based on an alternative legal theory where the alternate ground had not been developed in the record, stating "The key to applying the tipsy coachman doctrine, permitting a reviewing court to affirm a decision from a lower tribunal that reaches the right result for the wrong reasons, is that the record before the trial court must support the alternative theory or principle oflaw.").

Because the Bank failed to prove its standing at the filing of suit, the court erred in entering the final judgment of foreclosure. We reverse and remand for vacation of the final judgment and entry of an involuntary dismissal of the complaint.

TAYLOR and LEVINE, JJ., concur.

PER CURIAM.

The defendants appeal a final judgment of foreclosure entered after the trial court granted the plaintiffs motion for summary judgment. We reverse because a genuine issue of material fact remains as to whether the plaintiff had standing at the inception of the lawsuit.

The standard of review of an order granting summary judgment is de novo. Fla. Atl. Univ. Bd. of Trs. v. Lindsey, 50 So. 3d 1205, 1206 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010).

"The party seeking foreclosure must present evidence that it owns and holds the note and mortgage in question in order to proceed with a foreclosure action." Lizio v. McCullom, 36 So. 3d 927, 929 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010). The plaintiff must prove that it had standing to foreclose at the time the lawsuit was filed. McLean v. JP Morgan Chase Bank Nat'l Ass'n, 79 So. 3d 170, 173 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012).

CASE NO.: 4D17-2704 L.T. No.: 502012CA010633XXXXMB

ARMANDO RIVAS v. BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON

Appellant I Petitioner(s) Appellee I Respondent(s)

BY ORDER OF THE COURT:

ORDERED that appellant's November 2, 2017 request for emergency treatment is denied; further,

ORDERED that appellant's November 1, 2017 second revised emergency motion to stay pending appeal is denied. This court notes that this is the third almost identical "emergency motion" and request for emergency treatment filed in this court. The appellant is reminded that an "emergency" is a matter of extreme urgency that requires IMMEDIATE action by this Court in order to avoid imminent, irreparable, and material harm. The appellant is cautioned that further frivolous filings of "emergency motions" may subject the appeal to dismissal or the court in its discretion may impose other sanctions. See USAA Gas. Ins. Co. v. Pembroke Pines MRI, Inc. 24 So. 3d 588, 589 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009) ("Pleadings filed as emergencies disrupt court procedures and interrupt work on cases that were already going. Consequently, an attorney who seeks 'emergency' review immediately loses credibility if this court discovers there is no true emergency.").
