Mortgages—non-judicial foreclosure hearing—trustee’s withdrawal of notice
The order of the superior court clerk of court, the order of the superior court, and the opinion of the Court of Appeals in a foreclosure case all were vacated where the trustee effectively withdrew its notice of non-judicial foreclosure hearing, thus terminating the hearing.
On discretionary review pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 7A-31 of a unanimous decision of the Court of Appeals,_N.C. App._, 773 S.E.2d 101 (2015), reversing an order entered on 25 September 2013 by Judge Phyllis M. Gorham in Superior Court, Carteret County. Heard in the Supreme Court on 11 October 2016.
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, L.L.P., by Donald R. Pocock and D. Martin Warf, for petitioner-appellee FV-I, Inc. in trust for Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings, LLC.
Shipman & Wright, LLP, by Gregory M. Katzman, W. Cory Reiss, and Gary K. Shipman, for respondent-appellant.
PER CURIAM.
Because the trustee effectively withdrew its notice of non-judicial foreclosure hearing, thus terminating the proceeding, there was no pending case on which the clerk of court could act. See In re Foreclosure of Lucks, _ N.C. _, _,_ S.E.2d _, _(Dec. 21, 2016) (No. 162A16). As a result, we h ereby vacate the clerk of court’s order and that of the superior court, as well as the opinion of the Court of Appeals.
VACATED.
