BANK’S PROOF OF STANDING DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE BUSINESS RECORDS EXCEPTION TO THE HEARSAY RULE.

The Second Department determined the bank’s motion for summary judgment was properly denied because the bank did not submit sufficient proof of possession of the note and mortgage at the time the foreclosure action was commenced. The proof did not meet the requirements of the business records exception to the hearsay rule. That affiant did not attest she was personally familiar with the plaintiff-bank’s record-keeping practices and procedures:

Here, the plaintiff attempted to establish its standing by submitting the affidavit of Angela Frye, Vice President of Loan Documentation for Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (hereinafter Wells Fargo), the servicer of the defendant’s loan on behalf of the plaintiff. Frye averred, in relevant part, that she “reviewed the books and records regularly maintained by Wells Fargo in the ordinary course of its business as servicer of Defendant’s loan for and on behalf of the Trust,” and that “Wells Fargo’s regularly maintained records reflect that both the original Note … and the Mortgage were physically delivered to the Trust prior to the commencement of this action.” The plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the records relied upon by Frye were admissible under the business records exception to the hearsay rule (see CPLR 4518[a]) because Frye, an employee of Wells Fargo, did not attest that she was personally familiar with the plaintiff’s record-keeping practices and procedures … . Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v Brewton, 2016 NY Slip Op 05906, 2nd Dept 8-31-16
