Mikels v. Shi CA1/4
This appeal arises out of the dismissal of an unlawful detainer action involving certain real property located in San Mateo County (the Property). Marshall Edward: Mikels aka Marshall E. Mikels (Mikels or appellant) acquired title to the Property in 1977. In August 2010, however, title to the Property was transferred to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee on behalf of the holders of the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Trust 2007-3 Adjustable Rate Mortgage Backed Pass Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 (U.S. Bank), under a trustee’s deed upon sale after Mikels appears to have defaulted on a mortgage loan secured by the Property. Three years later, on April 24, 2013, Hui Ping Shi (Shi or respondent) acquired sole ownership of the Property from U.S. Bank under a duly recorded corporation grant deed. According to Shi, she purchased the Property as a rental unit and spent the next three years renovating it before tenants began residing there in April 2016.
