SEE 9.06.2011 Chase RICO-Request-for-Production
EDITOR’S NOTE: Jeff Barnes has put together what I would call the gold standard in a request for production in a mortgage case. It will no doubt lead to an early settlement. But if it went all the way, it would reveal the facts necessary to question the perfection of the lien, the transfer of the obligation, the owner of the obligation, the owner of the lien, the right to foreclose and the wrongful, intentional misconduct by intermediaries who inserted themselves into the foreclosure process simply by barring the investors from ever knowing there was anything going on.
Here are some notable excerpts:
