Interim Findings of Effects of Ohio Standing Rulings on Ohio Federal Foreclosure Caseload 

By William A. Roper Jr. –

I have continued to study and assess EVERY Federal foreclosure case disposed of in Ohio since Judge Christopher A. BOYKO's ruling on October 31, 2007, to better understand and assess the full dimensions of that ruling.  I am a little more than HALF done with this task.  As frequent Forum visitors know, I have posted much detail information about various Ohio Federal Court foreclosure orders, both published and unpublished in several other message threads.

NEW CASES

There have been precisely ELEVEN (11) new Federal foreclosure cases filled in Ohio since December 1, 2007.  These are:

• HSBC Mortgage Services, Inc. v. Young; Filed 12/10/2007; Case No. 3:2007cv00269

• Huntington National Bank v. Tanglewood Associat; Filed 12/10/2007; Case No. 2007cv03754

Total Cases Subject To a Major Dispositive Order Since December 1, 2007

By contrast, there have been a total of 145 cases subject to a major dispositive order since December 1, 2007. 

Thirty six (36) cases were dismissed without prejudice since December 1, 2007, due to failure of the plaintiff to show standing.  Of these, twenty-three had been subject to a prior show cause order. 

An additional forty-four (44) cases were dismissed based upon this plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal.  Of these, at least ten had been the subject of previous show cause orders directing the plaintiff to show cause why the case should not be dismissed based upon the plaintiff's failure to show requisite standing.  Two of these cases seemed to be dismissed due to the borrower's reinstatement and two due to some forbearance agreement.  Most of the remainder were cases before Federal judges who had been aggressive in dismissing cases were the plaintiff had clearly FAILED to show the requisite standing.

Fifty six (56) cases involved some sort of major dispositive order in favor of the plaintiff.  This somewhat OVERSTATES the plaintiff's success for several reasons.  First, I am including "Default Judgments" (2), "Orders of Foreclosure" (36), "Orders Appointing Master Commissioner" (11), and "Order of Confirmation of Sale" (7).  Those familiar with Ohio Federal foreclosures will see that these actually reflect various stages towards the ultimate sale of the property.  If one views the "Order of Confirmation of Sale" as a REAL conclusion, one has to compare SEVEN successful foreclosures with EIGHTY DISMISSALS.

Second, in spot checking the cases which seem to continue to advance towards foreclosure, it appears that many of these are cases before Federal Judges who are NOT PAYING ATTENTION YET.  That is the PLAINTIFF PLAINLY DOES NOT HAVE STANDING, BUT THE CASES ARE UNOPPOSED AND SEVERAL APPARENTLY LAZY FEDERAL JURISTS HAVEN'T BOTHERED TO NOTICE THE DEFECTS WHICH ARE READILY APPARENT WITHIN THE RECORD.

This seems to imply that some of these remaining cases may yet be DISMISSED.  In fact, amongst the dismissals to date are a number of cases where the plaintiff obtained a default judgment BEFORE the case was dismissed due to lack of standing.

Third, in the cases where the Court's lack of standing is readily apparent from the record, any actual order of foreclosure is CRYING OUT for an appeal.  And standing can be raised for the first time on appeal since it is jurisdictional in nature!

[NOTE:  The PACER Case Name Index truncates the parties names after 50 characters.  If the Defendant's name looks peculiar or truncated, please see the case shown by Case Number and Filing Date.]

I have copies of ALL of these orders.  ALL of these cases are readily available through PACER. 

MOST OF THESE DISMISSALS WERE UNOPPOSED.

*

BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS IS ONLY A FRACTION OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DISMISSALS W/O PREJUDICE DUE TO FAILURE OF THE PLAINTIFFS TO SHOW STANDING.  THE BULK OF THE DISMISSALS WERE IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER.  I HAVE IDENTIFIED 117 OF THESE DISMISSALS SO FAR, BUT STILL HAVE ABOUT TWO HUNDRED MORE CASES TO REVIEW.  I BELIEVE THAT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DISMISSALS BASED UPON STANDING IN OHIO IS APPROACHING 200!

I hope to have finished tabulating ALL of the dispositions within two weeks.  As before, I will continue to post interesting opinions, orders, and pleadings.

ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT WHAT IS GOING ON IN OHIO FEDERAL COURTS IS MINOR ISN'T PAYING ATTENTION.  IT IS EPIC!

The ten cases with a Show Cause Order date in parenthesis were voluntarily dismissed after the Court entered a show cause order indicating that the plaintiff seemed to lack requisite standing to bring the foreclosure action. 

Two of these voluntary dismissals -- Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Long et al and Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. v. Sandra L. Toler, et al -- involved dismissals after an asserted forbearance agreement.  Two other cases -- Household Realty Corporation v. Harris et al and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., v. Shade et al -- involved reinstatements by the plaintiff.  But you will note that the Toler and the Shade cases were each subject to a show cause order by Judge Thomas ROSE and a pending dismissal when the plaintiff hastily made arrangements with the defendants.

Forum Crosslinks and Findings Add To Ohio Federal Court Case Discussions

I am attempting within this discussion thread to show the full implications of the recent Ohio Federal Court foreclosure dismissals on the Federal foreclosure dockets.  I am still systematically working through the cases disposed of by order in October and November 2007. 

I have already previously identified the BOYKO, ROSE and O'MALLEY cases disposed of by bulk order as well as a number of other dismissals within several other posts.  I will ultimately post a composite list of October and November 2007 dismissals, but for the convenience of those only recently joining this Forum, I am also posting below crosslinks and finding aids to each of the other discussion threads within this Forum relating to the Ohio Federal Court dismissals.  Of course, everyone is reminded of the convenient MS Fraud Forum keyword Search feature which also makes finding other message threads convenient.

Total Cases Subject To a Major Dispositive Order During November 2007

There were a total of 151 Ohio Federal foreclosure cases subject to a major dispositive order during the month of November 2007.

Seventy (70) Ohio Federal foreclosure cases were dismissed without prejudice during November 2007, due to failure of the plaintiff to show standing. 

An additional twenty-one (21) Ohio Federal foreclosure cases were dismissed based upon this plaintiff's notice or motion of voluntary dismissal.  At least three (3) of these voluntary dismissals seem to have been due to some sort of settlement and/or forbearance agreement with the defendant.  One (1) additional case was subject to a notice of voluntary dismissal, but no dismissal order seems to have ever been issued.

Five (5) Ohio Federal foreclosure cases were subject to some sort of administrative suspension, stay or dismissal during November 2007 as a consequence of a Federal Bankruptcy filing.  One (1) Ohio Federal foreclosure case included a suggestion of death (the defendant seems to have died).  One (1) Ohio Federal foreclosure case was dismissed due to failure to prosecute.

Fifty one (51) cases involved some sort of major dispositive order in favor of the plaintiff.  This somewhat OVERSTATES the plaintiff's success for several reasons.  First, I am including "Default Judgments" (1), "Decrees of Foreclosure" (9), "Orders Appointing Master Commissioner" (32), and "Order of Confirmation of Sale" (9).  But two of the "Decrees in Foreclosure" were subsequently vacated by the Plaintiff's motion upon some agreement with the defendant. 

Those familiar with Ohio Federal foreclosures will see that these counts of dispositions in favor of a plaintiff actually reflect various stages towards the ultimate foreclosure sale of the property.  If one views the "Order of Confirmation of Sale" as a REAL conclusion, one has to compare NINE successful foreclosures with NINETY-ONE (91) DISMISSALS.*

* 93 dismissals if one includes the dismissal following vacation of two of the Decrees of Foreclosure.

It is also noteworthy that even amongst some of the Ohio cases which still seem to be proceeding towards foreclosure, the plaintiff discernibly lacks standing.  ACCORDINGLY, THERE MAY BE A NUMBER OF FORECLOSURE SALES UNDER FEDERAL COURT ORDERS WHICH MAY BE COLLATERALLY ATTACKED AT ANY TIME, AS THE FORECLOSURE ORDER IS LIKELY TO BE VOID AB INITIO WHERE THE RECORD CLEARLY SHOWS THAT A PLAINTIFF LACKED THE REQUISITE STANDING.

Summary Counts of Ohio Federal Court Dismissals Based Upon Standing BY JUDGE

I have now COMPLETED my survey of November and December 2007 Ohio Federal Court foreclosure case orders with a focus on dismissals due to standing.  I have also examined a number of Ohio foreclosure cases from October 2007 and January 2008.  There are still MANY cases to scrutinize from October.

To date I have found the following number of DISMISSALS based upon lack of standing BY JUDGE:

• Judge Christopher A. BOYKO - 31

• Judge David D. DOWD, Jr. - 16

• Judge Patricia A. GAUGHAN - 2

• Judge James S. GWIN - 10

• Judge John D. HOLSCHUH - 14

• Judge Sara LIOI - 16

• Judge Kathleen M. O'MALLEY - 35

• Judge Dan Aaron POLSTER - 11

• Judge Lesley WELLS - 5

I have summarized and identified many of these dismissed cases by Judge within topical discussion threads pertaining to that Judge's dismissals.  Those discussion threads are in need of update.

Ohio Federal Court Case Dispositions 01-15 Jan 2008

Fifty-four (54) cases before the Ohio Federal Courts were subject to a major dispositive order during the first fifteen days of January 2008.  MOST OF THESE CASES WERE DISMISSED.

Here is a breakdown of the dispositions:  Voluntary Dismissal w/o Prejudice Pursuant to Rule 41 (32), Dismissed w/o Prejudice - Standing (1), Decree of Foreclosure (7), Order Appointing Master Commissioner (4), Order of Confirmation of Sale and Distribution of Proceeds (1), and Administratively Dismissed Pursuant to Civil Stay in Bankruptcy (1).  In addition, there were an additional eight (8) cases for which a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal Pursuant to Rule 41 was filed, but for which no corresponding order of dismissal appears to have been signed.

Of the 32 voluntary dismissals, four (4) were subject to prior orders to show cause due to the plaintiff's failure to show standing.

IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE PLAINTIFFS ARE VOLUNTARILY DISMISSING THEIR CASES FROM THE OHIO FEDERAL COURTS DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO SATISFY THE FEDERAL COURT'S EVIDENTIARY STANDARDS RELATING TO STANDING.

The one actual dismissal based upon standing was:

• Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Isaiah; Filed 7/11/2007; Case No. 1:2007cv02073; Judge Lesley WELLS

• M and T Bank v. Knisley; Filed 6/12/2007; Case No. 2:2007cv00561; Judge Gregory L FROST

These four (4) voluntary dismissals were subject to a prior show cause order:

• Deutsche Bank National Trust Company v. Wilson; Filed 9/19/2007; Case No. 1:2007cv02836; Judge Christopher A. BOYKO

• Deutsche Bank National Trust Company v. Thompson; Filed 12/27/2007; Case No. 2:2007cv00178; Judge John D. HOLSCHUH

These additional eight (8) cases were subject to a notice of voluntary dismissal by the plaintiff pursuant to Rule 41, but there does NOT yet appear to be an order of dismissal.  These cases were ALL before Judge S. Arthur SPIEGEL:

• Wells Fargo Bank National Association v. Hopkins; Filed 11/7/2007; Case No. 1:2007cv00940; Judge S. Arthur SPIEGEL

• Deutsche Bank National Trust Company v. Harris; Filed 11/7/2007; Case No. 1:2007cv00488; Judge S. Arthur SPIEGEL

• Citimortgage, Inc. v. Etter; Filed 3/9/2007; Case No. 1:2007cv00191; Judge S. Arthur SPIEGEL 

It is unclear whether the failure to sign the dismissal orders is an oversight or whether perhaps such orders HAVE been signed but the orders are just not noted on PACER.  In any case, it would seem clear that these cases are now OVER.

ONE (1) NEW CASE HAS BEEN FILED IN JANUARY.
