V.
TANIA D PAIGE MOORER, ET AL.
MOTION TO REOPEN AND SET ASIDE JUDGMENT OF DISMISSAL
The Plaintiff in the above-entitled action respectfully moves, pursuant to CGS 52.212a, for an
order of the court opening the previously entered dismissal and in support thereof represents as follows:
1. This matter was returned to this court on December 27, 2016, seeking the foreclosure of
the first mortgage on the property of the defendant(s), Tania D Paige Moorer.
2. A good cause of action existed at the time the Judgment of Dismissal was entered and
continues to exist.
3. The Plaintiff is prepared to seek the entry of judgment or proceed to trial upon the
granting of this motion. The Motion for Judgment of Strict Foreclosure will be filed with the granting of
this motion. The Plaintiff has all the requisite documents to obtain judgment. Given the aforementioned, it
would be an exercise of futility and would unduly burden the court’s docket to require the Plaintiff to
commence a new action.
4, On December 11, 2018, the Defendant, Tania Moorer filed an answer to the Plaintiff's
amended complaint. See, Docket Entry No. 138.00.
5. On or about December 17, 2018, this court (Bruno, J) entered an order concerning the
opening and vacating of judgment due to a title issue and simultaneously issued an order granting a
File: 018168FOLmotion to cite a party Defendant (Bruno, J). See, Docket Entry Nos. 134.00 and 135.00. At the time the
motions were filed, the Plaintiff also amended the complaint. See, Docket Entry No. 137.00.
6. Also, the court (Bruno, J) issued an order on December 17, 2018 setting forth the case
need to proceed to judgment by April 17, 2018 or the matter would be dismissed.
7. On or about January 3, 2019, a second motion to cite a party Defendant was filed with the
court and granted (Bruno, J) on January 23, 2019 with service to be made on or before March 5, 2019.
See, Docket Entry No. 140.00. At the time, the motions were filed, the Plaintiff also amended the
complaint. See, Docket Entry No. 142.00 and 143.00.
8. Service was completed on February 25, 2019 and on March 13, 2019, the Plaintiff filed a
supplemental retum concerning the service of process of the amended complaint pursuant to the Motion
to Cite along with a motion for default for failure to appear which was granted on March 20, 2019,
9. Less than 30 days later, on April 17, 2019, the Plaintiff filed a withdrawal as to MERS
due to the title issue being resolved due to a release of the prior mortgage being released.
10. The day after the resolution of the title issues, this Court (Bellis, J) entered a Judgment of
Dismissal in this matter for failure to prosecute with reasonable diligence. However, based on the record,
this matter was proceeding.
11. The Plaintiff is prepared to seek entry of a judgment, and has filed a motion for summary
judgment, motion for judgment and supporting documentation along with this motion and is ready to
proceed immediately upon the vacating of the judgment of dismissal.
12. On information and belief, there are no valid defenses to the Plaintiffs action as the sole
remaining Defendant, Tania Moorer filed no special defenses and a general answer.
File: 018168FOLWHEREFORE, the Plaintiff moves that the Court reopen and vacate the Judgment of Dismissal
of April 18, 2019, in this matter, and restore the matter to the Court Docket, and impose such other
conditions as the Court may deem appropriate.
