MOTION FOR SUMMARY FINAL JUDGMENT AND ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS
Plaintiff, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, NOT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL
CAPACITY BUT SOLELY AS TRUSTEE FOR THE RMAC TRUST, SERIES 2016-CTT (hereinafter
referred to as “Plaintiff") by and through its undersigned counsel, moves this Court, pursuant to Florida
Rule of Civil Procedure 1.510, to enter a Summary Final Judgment against each of the Defendants in the
above-styled action. There exists no genuine issues as to any material fact and Plaintiff is entitled to
judgment as a matter of law based on the pleadings and affidavits filed in this action.
1. FORECLOSURE: This is an action by the holder of a mortgage, U.S. BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, NOT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY BUT SOLELY AS TRUSTEE FOR THE
RMAC TRUST, SERIES 2016-CTT, to foreclose the mortgage on real property situated in Flagler County,
Florida.
Electronically Received in the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court - Flagler County, Florida - 09/23/2019 10:14 AM2. HOLDER OF NOTE: The Plaintiff holds the promissory note and mortgage.
3. DEFAULT: The Note is due for November 1, 20 v7, and all subsequent payments. This
has resulted in a default of the note and mortgage.
4, PROPERTY: The legal description of the subject property is set forth in the Lis Pendens.
5. SERVICE: All Defendants have been served with notice of this action.
6. LIEN: Plaintiff's mortgage constitutes a valid lien on the subject property and is superior
to any right, title, interest or claim of all Defendants and all persons or-entities claiming by, through or
under them.
7. EVIDENCE: Plaintiff adopts and incorporates into this motion the affidavit of
indebtedness, Plaintiff's affidavit of attorneys' fees and costs, affidavit of reasonableness of fees, the
mortgage, the promissory note. Plaintiff has attached a copy of the original note as Exhibit “A”.
8. MEMORANDUM OF LAW: The substantial matters of law upon which this motion is
based are as follows:
a. A mortgage is presumed to have been validly executed and delivered on
the date recited in the mortgage if the mortgage is’proven of record and recorded according to the law.
Atlantic Land and Improvement Company v. Lee, 112 So. 549, 550 (Fla- 1927).
b. Where. a note secured by a mortgage is transferred without any formal
assignment of the mortgage, the mortgage in equity passes as an incident to the debt, unless there is some
plain and clear agreement to the contrary. Johns v. Gillian, 184 So. 140 (Fla. 1938). "A mere delivery of a
note and mortgage, with intention to pass the title, upon a proper consideration, will vest the equitable
interest in the person to whom it is so delivered." Zd., at 143. "Because the lien follows the debt, there was
no requirement of attachment of a written and recorded assignment of the mortgage in order for the
appellant to maintain the foreclosure action." Chemical Residential Mortgage v. Rector, 742 So.2d. 300
@la. 1* DCA, 1998), rev. denied 727 So.2d 910 (1999). To foreclose upon a promissory note, the plaintiff
must be the "holder" in order to be the real party in interest.. Troupe v. Redner, 652 So2d 394 (Fla 2d DCA1995), citing Withers v. Sandlin, 36 Fla. 619-18 So;-856 (1896);-Laing-v- Gainey Builders, Inc., 184 So, 2d
897 (Fla Ist DCA 1966). The "holder", with respect to a negotiable instrument, means the person in
possession if the instrument is payable to bearer or, in the case of an instrument payable to an identified
person, if the identified person is in possession. § 671.201(20), Fla. Stat. (2002). "Bearer" means the person
in possession of an instrument, document of title, or certificated security payable to bearer or indorsed in
blank. § 671.201(5), Fla. Stat. (2002).
c. In the event a formal assignment is delivered to the Plaintiff, Florida Law
has established that the “effective date” is the date of transfer of interest in the mortgage as opposed to the
date the assignment document was executed. WA Specialty Mortgage. LLC v. Salomon, 874 So2d. 680
(Fla 4" DCA 2004); Citing: Johns v Gillian, 184 So. 140, 143 (Fla 1938).
d. The interest of the owner of record in the property described herein is
inferior. and subordinate to the interest of the Plaintiff, the mortgagee. Jordan v. Sayre, 3 So. 329 (Fla.
1888).
e. The owner and holder of a valid recorded mortgage encuinbering real
property has a lien superior in dignity and right to any subsequently recorded mortgage, claim or lien
attaching to the property through the mortgagors, their successors, assigns and tenants. Lee v. Slemons, 150
So. 792, 794 (Fla. 1933); Bullard v. Fender, 192 So. 167, 171 (Fla. 1939); County of Pinellas v. Clearwater
Federal Savings and Loan Association, 214 So.2d 525, $26 (Fla. 2d DCA 1968). Therefore, the lien of
Plaintiff's mortgage takes priority over the subsequently recorded claims or liens of the Defendants in this
action. United States v. First Federal Savings and Loan Association of St. Petersburg, 155 So.2d 192, 193
(Fla. 2d DCA 1963).
f As a inatter of Jaw the entire indebtedness secured by the mortgage held
by Plaintiff is due and collectible. Van Huss v. Prudential Insurance Company of America, 165 So. 896
(Fla. 1936); Baader v. Walker, 153 So.2d 51, 54 (Fla. 2d DCA 1963).
g As to any Defendant that is a Homeowners Association as definedunder Florida Statute §720.301; said Defendant’s interest is'fully foreclosable as a matter of law. Florida:
Statute §720.3085 does not prevent foreclosure of any past due assessment claims of a Defendant Home
Owners Association, as Plaintiff's rights are determined by the Homeowner’s Association’s Declaration of
Covenants. Florida Statute §720.3085, does not retroactively apply to mortgages or assessments recorded
prior to its enactment. To the contrary the §720.3085(1) specifically states.that the Association's
assessments are inferior to the Plaintiff. Any application of the statute to the contrary is unconstitutional.
Sarasota County v, Andrews, et al. 573 $o.2d 113 (2™ DCA, 1991);Silver Blue Lake Apartments, Inc. v.
Silver Blue Lake Home Owners Association, Inc., 245 So. 2d 609, 611 (Fla 1971); Palm Point Property
Owners’ Association of Charlotte County, Inc. v. Pisarski (626 So. 2d 195 (Fla 1993); Holly Lake
Association v. Federal National Mortgage Association, 660 So. 2d 266, 269 (Fla. 1995); Park Benziger &
Co., Inc. v. Southern Wine & Spirits, Inc. 391 So. 2d 681, 683 (Fla. 1980); David v. Sun Federal Savings
& Loan Ass'n, 463 So,.2d 93 (Fla 1984); Metropolitan Dade County v. Chase Federal Housing Corp., et
al. 737 So, 2d 494, 500 (Fla 1999);
h. As to Defendants against whom a default has been entered, final judgment
may be entered by the Court at any time. Rule 1.500(e) Florida Rule of Civil Procedure.
i, This court must enter a summary final judgment.of foreclosure where there
exists no genuine issue as to any inaterial fact; this Court may, however, reserve jurisdiction to determine
the amount and priority of the claims. Mack Industries, Inc. v. Donald W. Nelson, Inc., 134 So.2d 821 (Fla.
2d DCA 1961).
je Where the note and mortgage so provide, a mortgagee is entitled to recover
costs, a reasonable fee for its attorneys in the prosecution of a foreclosure action, and any sums advanced
to prevent the impairment of its security. American Securities Co. v. Goldsberry, 67 So. 862, 866 (Fla.
1915).
9. ENTITLEMENT TO JUDGMENT: Plaintiff is entitled to recover its principal, interest,
late charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, and other expenses, all of which are more fully set forth in the affidavits
attached hereto.10. NO ISSUE OF LAW OR FACTS; -The: pleadings of file, together with-the affidavits—-
attached hereto, demonstrate that there is no dispute as to any material fact. Accordingly, Plaintiff is entitled
to Summary Final Judgment as a matter of law.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter Summary Final Judgment
in its favor as to the total amount sought in its Complaint, and grant Plaintiff's motion for attormeys' fees
and costs and such other and further relief as this Court deems just, including the issuance of writs of
possession against any parties that may be in possession of the property.
