MOTION FOR SUMMARY FINAL JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE
Plaintiff, COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., moves the Court for entry of a Summary Final
- Judgment of Foreclosure 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 Plaintiffs mortgage over the interest of all other Defendants in the real property
encumbered by said mortgage and Plaintiff's entitlement to an award of attorney’s fees.
In support of this motion, Plaintiff shows the Court:

The 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.
3. The pleadings and exhibits filed herein, as well as Plaintiff's affidavit in support hereof, establish
that Plaintiffs 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
07-09976
iiititinamn
—~,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 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, “Ee Fees, Indebtedness, Cost were delivered to the parties on
