Lying lawyers?! How unusual. Judges are beginning to tune-in, maybe they feel they can now. Maybe judges don’t think foreclosure blood money should be used to prop up Obamacare either, or that Fannie & Freddie should be held in unnecessary captivity any longer.
When a judge looks carefully at the record, the bank loses. The use of Deutsch’s name in the style of the case still shows that Judges are considering the Plaintiff to be the named “Trustee” instead of the named (or named, which is frequently the case) Trust. In fact the Trustee has nothing to do with foreclosures. In this case the Judge wrote the following:

That depends on how the case is titled & filed. I’ve been working on 2 foreclosure cases in NC & one in SC where the Trustee was specifically named. For example;
U.S. BANK, N.A., Not in its individual capacity,
but solely as Trustee for the RMAC TRUST,
Series xxxxxxx,
vs.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We can find no record that the “Trust” even exists as a legal entity & US Bank admits it is not the “holder” of the (promissory) Note, so those are issues for trial, but the identity of the Plaintiff is clear — the Trustee. And in NC, what you usually see is a “Substitute Trustee” bringing a foreclosure action, on behalf of the entity which claims to be the noteholder. If the foreclosure action is successful, it is the Substitute Trustee which sets the foreclosure sale date & is the seller.
