THE BANK DID NOT PROVE IT HAD STANDING IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION, PRESENTING ONLY HEARSAY; SUPREME COURT REVERSED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the plaintiff bank in this foreclosure proceeding did not prove it had standing, that the defendant was in default, or that the notice provisions of Real Property Actions and Proceedings La (RPAPL) 1304 were complied with. With respect to standing, the Second Department wrote:

… [T]he plaintiff submitted the note, which contains an undated endorsement in blank, as well as affidavits from two vice presidents of loan documents for its loan servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (hereinafter Wells Fargo). In both affidavits … each vice president stated that review Wells Fargo’s business records relating to the subject mortgage loan had confirmed that the plaintiff was in possession of the note prior to November 7, 2012. Neither one identified the documents reviewed or any basis for the conclusion that the plaintiff was in possession of the note more than two years prior to the subject review of Wells Fargo’s files. The only document relevant to this issue attached to either affidavit was a copy of the note with the undated endorsement in blank. Under these circumstances, the affidavits constituted inadmissible hearsay and lacked any probative value … . HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v Campbell-Antoine, 2020 NY Slip Op 00578, Second Dept 1-29-20
