J-S17008-14 NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37 NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE, LLC IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA Appellee v. LEROY E. GLICK AND SAVILLE S. GLICK, HIS WIFE Appellants No. 1530 MDA 2013 Appeal from the Order Entered July 30, 2013 In the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County Civil Division at No(s): CI-12-04621 BEFORE: GANTMAN, P.J., ALLEN, J., and LAZARUS, J. MEMORANDUM BY LAZARUS, J.: FILED JUNE 27, 2014 pro se from the order entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County granting summary judgment in favor of Nationstar Mortgage, LLC grant of summary judgment. After our review, we dismiss the appeal. On March 28, 2012, Nationstar filed a complaint in mortgage foreclosure against the Glicks. Nationstar alleged that the Glicks executed a mortgage on the property known as 2469 New Holland Pike in Lancaster, to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. [MERS], as nominee for AMTrust Bank. That mortgage was assigned by MERS as nominee for AmTrust Bank to AmTrust Bank, A Division of New York Community Bank. The mortgage was assigned a second time to Nationstar. Each mortgage J-S17008-14 instrument and assignment was recorded in the Office of the Recorder in Lancaster County. The Glicks filed preliminary objections on April 27, 2012, which the trial court dismissed. On November 9, 2012, the Glicks filed an answer to the complaint, arguing that Nationstar is not the real party in interest. Thereafter, on May 24, 2013, Nationstar filed a motion for summary judgment, attaching exhibits, documents of public record or business records, establishing that Nationstar is the holder of the mortgage note and the mortgagee of record, and, therefore, that Nationstar is the real party in interest and has standing to bring the foreclosure action. The Glicks filed a response to the motion, and on July 30, 2013, the court granted summary judgment in favor of Nationstar. The Glicks filed a notice of appeal on August 13, 2013. On September 3, 2013, the trial court entered an order requiring the Glicks to file a Concise Statement of Errors Complained of on Appeal pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule September 4, 2013. The docket indicates that the prothonotary provided notice of the trial court's September 3, 2013 order to the parties on September 4, 2013. See Lancaster County Court Docket No: CI-12-04621, 10/8/2013, at 2. -2- J-S17008-14 for the filing and service of the Statement the court should have listed the due date as no later than September 25, 2013. In any event, the Rule 1925(b) statement was not filed until October 2, 2013, and therefore was untimely. See Greater Erie Indus. Development Corp. v. Presque Isle Downs, Inc., 88 A.3d 222, 225 (Pa. Super. 2014) (whenever trial court orders appellant to file concise statement of errors complained of on appeal, appellant must comply in timely manner); see also Feingold v. Hendrzak, 15 A.3d 937, 940 (Pa. Super. 2011); Hess v. Fox Rothschild, LLP, 925 A.2d 798, 803 (Pa. Super. 2007). delivered to Judge Wright on October 1, 2013, and docketed on October 2, 2013.
