BANK DID NOT DEMONSTRATE STANDING TO BRING THE FORECLOSURE ACTION, CRITERIA FOR BUSINESS RECORDS EXCEPTION TO THE HEARSAY RULE NOT MET.

The Second Department determined plaintiff bank failed to demonstrate standing to bring the foreclosure action because the criteria for the business records exception to the hearsay rule were not met:

Here, the plaintiff attempted to establish its standing by submitting the affidavit of Kelly Thompson, an Assistant V.P., Operations Team Manager, at Bank of America, N.A. (hereinafter BANA), the servicer of the defendant Juliet Willis’s loan on behalf of the plaintiff. Thompson averred, in relevant part, that her affidavit was based upon her review of BANA’s business records, and that upon review of such records, the note was physically transferred to the plaintiff “in or about March 2007.” The plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the records relied upon by Thompson were admissible under the business records exception to the hearsay rule (see CPLR 4518[a]) because Thompson, an employee of BANA, did not attest that she was personally familiar [*2]with the plaintiff’s recordkeeping practices and procedures … . Bank of N.Y. v Willis, 2017 NY Slip Op 03468, 2nd Dept 5-3-17
