Real Property – Mortgages – Loan Modification & Foreclosure – Civil Practice – Stay
By: Teresa Bruno, Opinions Editor//March 22, 2018//
Listen to this articlePlaintiff’s claims arise out of defendants’ alleged offering of a loan modification while defendants, without giving further notice to plaintiff, continued to pursue a foreclosure action. Although plaintiff’s claims involve important state interests, since plaintiff seeks only monetary damages, the court cannot dismiss plaintiff’s claims under Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971). Instead, on its own motion, the court will stay this action pending the resolution of the underlying state court action.
Defendants’ motion to dismiss is denied, with leave to refile the motion at a later date.
