DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, As Trustee for Fremont Home Loan Trust 2006-3, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-3, Appellant, v. LISA ANN DOWD a/k/a LISA A. DOWD, Appellee. No. 4D16-588 [March 15, 2017] Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Richard L. Oftedal, Judge; L.T. Case No. 50-2013-CA003503-XXXX-MB. Sara F. Holladay-Tobias and C.H. Houston, III of McGuireWoods LLP, Jacksonville, for appellant. Evan M. Rosen of the Law Offices of Evan M. Rosen, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee. PER CURIAM. On appeal from mortgage foreclosure proceedings, a bank challenges the trial court’s order involuntarily dismissing its case against a borrower based on its determination that the bank failed to prove its standing to foreclose. After reviewing the record, we determine the bank presented competent, substantial evidence that it possessed the blank-endorsed note at the time suit was filed and thereby demonstrated that it had standing to foreclose at the inception of the suit. See Bolous v. U.S. Bank Nat’l Ass’n, 41 Fla. L. Weekly D2448 (Fla. 4th DCA Nov. 2, 2016); Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co. v. Marciano, 190 So. 3d 166 (Fla. 5th DCA 2016). We therefore reverse and remand for reinstatement of the final judgment of foreclosure. Reversed and remanded with instructions. CIKLIN, C.J., DAMOORGIAN and GERBER, JJ., concur. * * * Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. 2
