HARDMAN DEVELOPMENT CORP., STEPHEN R. ALEXANDER, MICHAEL T. HARDMAN, JULIE C. HARDMAN, VILLAGE OF PALM SPRINGS, Defendants. MOTION FOR FINAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE Plaintiff, National City Bank, as successor by merger to Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust, ("Plaintiff"), by and through its undersigned attorneys and pursuant to 1.510, moves this Court for entry of Final Summary Judgment against the Defendants, Hardman Development Corp., Stephen R. Alexander, Michael T. Hardman, Julie C. Hardman and Village of Palm Springs, and as grounds therefore would show as follows: 1. Based on the pleadings and affidavits filed in support of this motion, there is no genuine issue of material fact and Plaintiff is entitled, as a matter of law, to a judgment of foreclosure on Count I of the Complaint or a judgment for damages on Count II of the Complaint, including determination of principal and interest, attorney's fees, costs and other charges. 2. The Affidavits filed in this case, show: EFTA01112231 National City Bank v. Hardman Development Corp., et al Case No: 502009CA024752XXXXMB(AW) (a) The genuineness of the Loan Documents attached to the Complaint (hereinafter "Loan Documents") (b) Plaintiffs ownership of the Loan Documents and its right to pursue the remedies sought in this case under them; (c) The default of the Defendants under the Loan Documents referred to above; (d) The amounts owed by the Defendants under the Loan Documents referred to above; (e) Plaintiffs reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in connection with this case. (f) That Plaintiffs lien is superior to the lien of the other Defendants. 3. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, Plaintiff is entitled to a judgment of foreclosure on the Mortgage attached to the Complaint as Exhibit "B" or a judgment for damages against, Hardman Development Corp., Stephen R. Alexander, Michael T. Hardman and Julie C. Hardman pursuant to the Promissory Note attached to the Complaint as Exhibit "A" and the Guaranties attached to the Complaint as Exhibits "D", "E" and "F". 4. Count I seeks to foreclose a Mortgage and seeks for the Court to retain jurisdiction to enter a deficiency judgment against the makers of the Note and the Guarantors of the Note. Count II is an action for damages based upon the breach of the Promissory Note and the Guaranties of the Promissory Note. 5. All conditions precedent to the claims made by Plaintiff in this case have been performed or have occurred, and all of the material elements of the causes of action claimed by Plaintiff in this case have been established by the record in support of this Motion. 8 EFTA01112232 National City Bank v. Hardman Development Corp., et al Case No: 502009CA024752XXXXMB(AW) 6. Plaintiff reserves its right to seek a deficiency judgment against the Defendants, Hardman Development Corp., Stephen R. Alexander, Michael T. Hardman and Julie C. Hardman pursuant to Count I of the Complaint. 7. In reply to the First Affirmative Defense of the Defendant, Stephen R. Alexander, said Defendant has waived his right to assert any defenses afforded him by Fla.Stat. §673.491 and §673.6051. The Guaranty signed by Stephen Alexander waives his right to assert the defenses available under Florida Statute §673.4191 and §673.6051. The waiver language appears at page 2 of the Guaranty under "GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS." Furthermore, Defendant, Stephen Alexander, authorized National City Bank to take all actions which it has taken with respect to the Loan. This authorization is set forth in the Guaranty under the paragraph captioned "GUARANTOR'S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER." 8. In reply to the Second Affirmative Defense of the Defendant, Stephen R. Alexander, the facts alleged in the defense fail to assert an affirmative defense. Furthermore, Plaintiff did accept the Guaranty. 9. In reply to the Third Affirmative Defense of the Defendant, Stephen R. Alexander, said Defendant waived his right to assert that: "the Plaintiff agreed to an extension of the due date of the obligation being sued upon which caused loss to the Defendant." Defendant, Stephen Alexander, specifically authorized Plaintiff to extend the due date of the obligation being sued upon under the Guaranty at the section at page 1, captioned "GUARANTOR'S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER." Furthermore, Defendant, Stephen Alexander waived his right to assert this as a defense under the 8 EFTA01112233 National City Bank v. Hardman Development Corp.. et al Case No: 502009CA024752XXXXMB(AW) language at page 2 of the Guaranty at the paragraph captioned "GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS." 10. In reply to the Fourth Affirmative Defense of the Defendant, Stephen R. Alexander, said Defendant has waived his right to assert that Plaintiff agreed to material modifications of the obligation being sued upon which caused a loss to the Defendant. Defendant, Stephen Alexander, specifically agreed that the Plaintiff could modify the obligation being sued upon and further waived his right to assert the Fourth Affirmative Defense. The authorization is set forth at page 1 of the Guaranty under the section captioned "GUARANTOR'S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER." Defendant, Stephen Alexander's waiver of the affirmative defense appears at page 2 of the Guaranty under the paragraph captioned: "GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS." 11. In reply to the Fifth Affirmative Defense of the Defendant, Stephen R. Alexander, said Defendant has waived his right to assert this Fifth Defense in the Guaranty. Specifically, Stephen Alexander at page 2 of the Guaranty under the paragraph captioned: "GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS" specifically waived any and all rights of defenses based on suretyship or impairment of the collateral. 12. In reply to the Sixth Affirmative Defense of the Defendant, Stephen R. Alexander, said Defendant has waived his right to assert this Sixth Defense at page 2 of the Guaranty under the language captioned: "GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS." Furthermore, there is no law which entitles the Defendant to a right of set off for monies owed by the Defendant, Michael Hardman, to the Plaintiff on Defendant's behalf as a result of a Promissory Note signed by the Defendant, Michael Hardman, in the amount 8 EFTA01112234 National City Bank v. Hardman Development Corp., et al Case No: 502009CA024752XXXXMB(AW) of $550,000.00. The Guaranty being referred to in the Reply to these Affirmative Defenses is attached to the Complaint as Exhibit "D". 13. In reply to the First Affirmative Defense of the Defendants, Hardman Development Corp., Michael T. Hardman and Julie C. Hardman, the Plaintiff has standing to pursue this action as the successor by merger to Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust. 12 U.S.C. § 215a, et seq. addresses the merger of national banks or State banks into national banks. Specifically, 12 U.S.C. § 215a(e) addresses the effect of merger on the resulting financial entity. 12 U.S.C. § 215a(e) states, The corporate existence of each of the merging banks or banking associations participating in such merger shall be merged into and continued in the receiving association and such receiving association shall be deemed to be the same corporation as each bank or banking association participating in the merger. All rights, franchises, and interests of the individual merging banks or banking associations in and to every type of property (real, personal, and mixed) and choses in action shall be transferred to and vested in the receiving association by virtue of such merger without any deed or other transfer. The receiving association, upon the merger and without any order or other action of the part of the court or otherwise, shall hold and enjoy all rights of property, franchises, and interests, including appointments, designations, and nominations, and all other rights and interests as trustee, executor, administrator, registrar of stocks and bonds, guardian of estates, assignee, receiver, and committee of estates of lunatics, and in every other fiduciary capacity, in the same manner and to the same extent as such rights, franchises, and interests were held or enjoyed by any one of the merging banks or banking associations at the time of the merger. (Emphasis supplied). Therefore, on the date of the abovementioned merger, all property of Fidelity Federal, including all rights, franchises, and interests it had in and to every type of property (real, personal, and mixed) and choses in action, were immediately vested in and continued to be the property of National City Bank, by virtue of the merger and without any deed or transfer or any order or other action on the part of the court. 8 EFTA01112235 National City Bank v. Hardman Development Corp., et al Case No: 502009CA024752J<XXXMB(AW) 14. In reply to the Second Affirmative Defense of the Defendants, Hardman Development Corp., Michael T. Hardman and Julie C. Hardman, the Defendants waived their right to assert any discharge pursuant to Fla.Stat. §673.4191 or 673.6051. The Guaranties signed by Defendants, Michael T. Hardman and Julie C. Hardman waived their right to assert the defenses available under Fla.Stat. §673.4191 and 673.6051. The waiver language appears at page 2 of the Guaranties under "GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS." Furthermore, Defendants, Michael T. Hardman and Julie C. Hardman, authorized National City Bank to take all actions which it has taken with respect to the Loan. This authorization is set forth in the Guaranty under the paragraph captioned "GUARANTOR'S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER." The defenses in Fla.Stat. §673.4191 and 673.6051 do not apply to the Promissory Note and Mortgage executed by Hardman Development Corp. The Note and Mortgage were not signed as an accommodation but are the primary obligations. Furthermore, Hardman Development Corp. is not an endorser or accommodation party as defined in Fla.Stat. §673.6051. 15. The lien of the Village of Palm Springs is subordinate to Plaintiff's interest in the property as Plaintiffs Mortgage was recorded before the Final Consolidation Order Assessing Fines and Claims of Lien recorded by the Village of Palm Springs Code Enforcement on October 3, 2008. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that this Court enter a Final Judgment of Foreclosure under Count I against Defendants, Hardman Development Corp., Stephen R. Alexander, Michael T. Hardman, and Julie C. Hardman for all sums due, including interest, and that this Court further award attorney's fees and costs, and that this Court reserve jurisdiction to enter further orders as are proper, including without limitation 8 EFTA01112236 National City Bank v. Hardman Development Corp., et al Case No: 502009CA024752XXXXMB(AW) Writs of Possession and a Deficiency Judgment against the Defendants, Hardman Development Corp., Stephen R. Alexander, Michael T. Hardman and Julie C. Hardman, that the Court adjudicate Plaintiff's interest in the Mortgaged Property as superior to any right, title or interests claimed by any Defendants, and for such other further relief as this court may deem just and proper. Alternatively, Plaintiff requests that this Court enter under Count II of the Complaint a Judgment for Damages against the Defendants, Hardman Development Corp., Stephen R. Alexander, Michael T. Hardman and Julie C. Hardman, for all sums due and owing under the Loan Documents, including interest, attorney fees and costs and such other further relief as this Court may deem just and proper. In the alternative to the foregoing, Plaintiff requests that this Court enter an order specifying the facts that appear without substantial controversy, and that the facts so specified shall be deemed established, and the trial or final hearing shall be conducted accordingly.
