Lopez v. Southland Homes Real Estate and Investmen
This appeal, G053306 (the “306 appeal”) is derivative of the main event, (Lopez v. The Bank of New York Mellon (June 28, 2017, G052857) [nonpub. opn.]) (the 857 appeal). Our opinion in the 857 appeal is being filed concurrently with this opinion.
The 857 appeal arises out of a wrongful foreclosure action challenging the 2015 foreclosure of plaintiff Juan Lopez’s Garden Grove house, based on the theory that the foreclosing entity, The Bank of New York Mellon (Mellon), and by extension RTS Pacific, Inc. (RTS), the trustee who conducted the foreclosure sale on that entity’s behalf, did not have a valid assignment of Lopez’s obligation to repay the mortgage he took out in 2006. Thus, Lopez asserts, Mellon and RTS could not validly foreclose.
