Facts

• The case involves an appeal by the Defendant-Appellant against the district court's order for summary judgment and foreclosure sale of the subject property. The Appellant contested the Appellee's standing to enforce the note associated with the foreclosure, arguing that the allonge constituted the actual transfer of the note to the Appellee and that the Appellee did not possess the note at the time of filing the complaint.

Procedural History

• [Not applicable or not found]

Parties' Submissions

• Appellant: Argued that there were issues of fact regarding the Appellee's standing to enforce the note, specifically alleging that the allonge was the actual transfer of the note to the Appellee and that the Appellee did not have possession of the note when the complaint was filed (para 2).
• Appellee: Presented a prima facie case for standing by attaching a copy of the original note indorsed in blank to the complaint and submitting affidavits demonstrating possession of the note at the time of filing the complaint (para 2).

Legal Issues

• Whether the Appellant raised sufficient factual issues regarding the Appellee's standing to enforce the note to preclude entry of summary judgment.

Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s summary judgment order and foreclosure decree (para 3).

Reasons

• The Court, consisting of Judges Henderson, Attrep, and Medina, unanimously affirmed the lower court's decision. The Court found the Appellant's arguments to be speculative and insufficient to overcome the Appellee's prima facie case for summary judgment. The Appellee had established standing by attaching to its complaint a copy of the original note indorsed in blank and by submitting affidavits showing possession of the note at the time of filing the complaint. The Court held that the Appellant did not present a material fact dispute to preclude summary judgment, as the inferences the Appellant wished the Court to draw from the Appellee's evidence were not deemed reasonable (paras 1-3).
