Granted Appeal Summary

Case

GLORIA B. LANE v. BAYVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC, ET AL. (Record Number 180979) 

From 

The Circuit Court of Mecklenburg County; A. Nelson, Judge. 

Counsel

Drew D. Sarrett (The Sarrett Law Firm, PLLC) for appellant. 

Christy L. Murphy (Bischoff Martingayle, P.C.) and Richard E. Craig, Amy L. Bradley (BrigliaHundley, P.C.) for appellee. 

Assignments of Error

1. The Circuit Court of Mecklenburg County (the “trial court”) erred (1) in entering its April 26, 2018 Order in this case granting the Plea of Res Judicata filed by appellee, defendant below, Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC (“Bayview”), dismissing with prejudice the Amended Complaint filed by the appellant, Gloria B. Lane (“Mrs. Lane”) as to Bayview, and (2) in entering its May 14, 2018 Order in this case dismissing with prejudice the Amended Complaint filed by Mrs. Lane as to appellees, defendants below, Equity Trustees, LLC, as Substitute Trustee (“Equity Trustees”) and Eric Charles Von Allman (“Mr. Von Allman”), because neither res judicata (claim preclusion) nor collateral estoppel (issue preclusion) applied to bar Mrs. Lane’s Amended Complaint against Bayview, and, therefore, preclude the relief sought by Mrs. Lane against Equity Trustees and Mr. Von Allman. 

2. The trial court erred in its ruling from the bench on February 12, 2018 granting the Plea of Res Judicata filed by Bayview because neither res judicata (claim preclusion) nor collateral estoppel (issue preclusion) applied to bar Mrs. Lane’s Amended Complaint against Bayview.
