REED; | MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS INCORPORATED AS NOMINEE FOR BANK OF ENGLAND DBA ENG LENDING; THE VILLAGE AT ABACOA CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC. | UNKNOWN SPOUSE OF STEPHEN Z. REED; JOHN DOE; JANE DOE AS UNKNOWN TENANT(S) IN POSSESSION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, Defendants. y Gite iu Ol LA MOTION FOR SUMMARY FINAL JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE AND TO RE-ESTABLISH LOST LOAN DOCUMENTS Plaintiff, WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS TRUSTEE FOR CERTIFICATE HOLDERS OF BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATES, SERIES 2007-ACS, moves the Court for entry of a Summary Final Judgment of Foreclosure and to Re-establish Lost Loan Documents including an award of attorney's fees to Plaintiff on the grounds that Plaintiff is entitled to such a Final Judgment as a matter of law. The substantial matter of law to be argued is the priority of the lien of Plaintiff's mortgage over the interest of all other Defendants in the real property encumbered by said mortgage and Plaintiff's entitlement to an award of attomney’s fees. In support of this motion, Plaintiff shows the Court 1. Plaintiff filed its Complaint to Foreclose a Mortgage on real property located in Palm Beach County, Florida, the legal description of which is set forth in the Complaint. 08-02908The provisions of the note and mortgage being sued upon in this action confer upon Plaintiff the right to accelerate all sums due thereunder upon the default thereof, and the right to foreclose all interests in the encumbered property which are inferior to the lien of said mortgage. Hubbard v. Highland Realty & Inv. Co., 156 So. 322 (Fla. 1934); Campbell v. Werner, 232 So. 2d 252 (Fla.3d D.C.A. 1970). The provisions of said note and mortgage also provide for an award of attorneys fees to Plaintiff in the event of the filing of an action for foreclosure. The pleadings and exhibits filed herein, as well as Plaintiff's affidavit in support hereof, establish that Plaintiff's mortgage is a purchase money mortgage or was recorded prior to the recording of the instruments creating the liens in favor of those Defendants who claim an interest in the real property encumbered by the mortgage. Therefore, any such interest, which may be vested in the aforesaid Defendants, is subordinate and inferior to the lien of Plaintiff's mortgage. Sarmiento v. Stockton, Whatley, Davin & Co., Inc., 399 So. 2d 1057 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981), United States v. First Federal Savings and Loan Association of St. Petersburg. 155 So. 2d 192 (Fla. 2d DCA 1963). WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests this Court re-establish the lost promissory note and grant its Motion for Summary Final Judgment of Mortgage Foreclosure including an award of attorney's fees and for such further relief as the Court deems just and proper. I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing Motion for Summary Judgment, and the following supporting affidavits: Time & Effort, Attorney’s Fees, Indebtedness and Cost were delivered to the parties on the attached mailing list by mail this day of _ APR 13 2008 Law Offices of Marshall C.
