BANK DID NOT DEMONSTRATE STANDING (REQUIREMENTS OF BUSINESS RECORDS EXCEPTION TO THE HEARSAY RULE NOT MET), SUPREME COURT REVERSED.

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff bank did not demonstrate standing to bring the action:

In support of its motion, Arch Bay submitted the affidavit of Selena Mitcherson, an assistant vice president of Rushmore Loan Management Services (hereinafter Rushmore), the loan servicer for Arch Bay’s assignee [Wachovia]. Mitcherson averred, based upon her review of Rushmore’s business records, that “[t]he note . . . was in Plaintiff’s physical possession of the note [sic] when the action was commenced.” Under these circumstances, Arch Bay failed to demonstrate the admissibility of the records relied upon by Mitcherson under the business records exception to the hearsay rule (see CPLR 4518[a]), since Mitcherson did not attest that she was personally familiar with the record-keeping practices and procedures of Wachovia … . Arch Bay Holdings, LLC v Albanese, 2017 NY Slip Op 00284, 2nd Dept 1-18-17
