Matt v. HSBC Bank USA, N.A., No. 13-2209 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseAfter Plaintiff defaulted on a mortgage loan secured by her property, a complaint was filed in the Massachusetts land court as a preliminary step to foreclose on Plaintiff’s house. Plaintiff subsequently filed this case in federal district court against Defendants, asserting multiple claims arising from the purportedly invalid transfer and assignment of the mortgage on her home. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Defendants. While this appeal was pending, the parties reached an agreement, which resulted in the mortgage loan becoming current and Plaintiff no longer being subject to any actual or threatened foreclosure proceedings. The First Circuit dismissed this appeal as moot, holding that the circumstances evolved in such a way that there was no longer a live case or controversy.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on May 7, 2015.
