NORMAN LEE ROBINSON v. MERS, INC. ET AL. (Tenn. Ct. App. April 29, 2011)
This is an appeal by Norman Lee Robinson from a summary judgment granted against him and in favor of his lender, Citizens Bank, and GMAC Mortgage, LLC, the assignee of Robinson's secured note. Robinson filed this action against Citizens Bank and GMAC, as well as others, to stop what he alleged was a wrongful foreclosure. He also demanded compensatory and punitive damages.
The substance of the action is that the defendants should not be permitted to require Robinson to pay into escrow, funds that had been improperly refunded to him. The trial court held that Robinson was in default and that the foreclosure was not wrongful because, despite some dispute as to certain facts, there was no genuine dispute concerning the facts material to the outcome of this case. We affirm.
