Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's decision to deny the Defendant-Appellant's Rule 1-060(B) motion for relief from a judgment of foreclosure (para 4).

Reasons

• Per M. Monica Zamora, with James J. Wechsler and Cynthia A. Fry concurring, the Court of Appeals found the Defendant-Appellant's arguments in her memorandum in opposition unpersuasive. The Court noted that pro se litigants must comply with the rules and orders of the court and will not be treated differently than litigants with counsel. The Defendant-Appellant's difficulties in representing herself and her personal challenges were not considered a basis for relief on appeal. The Court concluded that the district court did not err in denying the Rule 1-060(B) motion, as the Defendant-Appellant failed to demonstrate any defect in the Court's proposed analysis or provide any legal authority or facts to support her position (paras 1-4).
