CitiMortgage, Inc. v. AdolphNo. 20120208

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Delbert and Katherine Adolph appealed from a district court order granting foreclosure on their mortgaged property. On appeal, the Adolphs argue CitiMortgage was required to produce the original promissory note, CitiMortgage was not a proper holder of the note, and their right to due process was violated. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6) and (7); see N.D.R.Ev. 1003 (stating a duplicate may be used to the same extent as the original unless a genuine issue is raised as to the authenticity or effectiveness of the original); Robertson v. Brown, 75 N.D. 109, 114, 25 N.W.2d 781, 784-85 (1947) (stating "[t]he transfer of a promissory note carries with it the mortgage securing the note though no valid assignment of the mortgage is executed and delivered.").
