Narrative Opinion Summary
The court reviewed a final judgment that denied the appellant's motion to foreclose on a mortgage. The appellant successfully demonstrated its legal standing to foreclose, as it owned and possessed the mortgage note, referencing Riggs v. Aurora Loan Servs. LLC. The previous foreclosure by the condominium association, in which the appellant was not involved, pertained solely to the association's assessments and did not nullify the appellant's superior interest, as established in U.S. Bank Nat’l. Ass’n v. Bevans. Consequently, the court reversed the final judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings regarding the appellant's foreclosure action. Judges Thomas and Marstiller concurred with the decision.
