LIT UPDATE & COMMENTARY
MAY 19, 2024
The most recent case involving Wells Fargo and Judge Kenneth Hoyt we could locate is:
Hedner v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (4:23-cv-00964) District Court, S.D. Texas which was removed from state court #334. This involved The Lane Law Firm as defense counsel for David and Susan Hedner, and Locke Lord representing Wells Fargo.
Judge Hoyt also recused on the case (see docket in next tab below) and would be replaced by Judge Hittner. So unlike Fifth Circuit Judge Don Willett, who won’t recuse for financial interests in banking institutions, Judge Hoyt is self recusing.

MASS, IEISHA vs. WELLS FARGO BANK NA
(AS TRUSTEE FOR OPTION ONE MORTGAGE
MAY 6, 2024
How did Mass obtain $65k from Texas Homeowners Assistance Fund during the 11 month Pandemic towards rent payments on a loan of $228k?
“Financial hardship means a material reduction in income or material increase in living expenses
associated with the coronavirus pandemic that has created or increased a risk of mortgage
delinquency, mortgage default, foreclosure, loss of utilities or home energy services, or
displacement for a homeowner.”

The Anticipated Judgment by Snr. Judge Simeon Lake III
The federal judge sinks homeowner Ieisha Mass’s wrongful foreclosure case as presented by her questionable foreclosure defense lawyers.
JAN 6, 2022 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: JAN 7, 2022
LIT would normally transcribe the Order but for the reason shown in the video, namely childishness by the court, they have intentionally scanned the order, thus rendering it impossible to do so.

Mass v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
(4:21-cv-02962)
District Court, S.D. Texas
SEP 10, 2021 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: SEP 23, 2021
It’s early stages for Ieisha, who’s up against Dykema and Wells Fargo and before Judge Sim Lake in S.D. Texas Federal Court after removal. Her selected lawyers have never won a homeowner any meaningful relief in Texas Federal Court either, how can you when no homeowner is allowed to defeat a bank in foreclosure.

UPDATE in Iesha Mass v. Wells Fargo Bank Before Judge Sim Lake in SDTX, Houston Div’n. pic.twitter.com/X8ZWg0ElR6
— LawsInTexas (@lawsintexasusa) October 8, 2021
LIT’s Founder Refused Electronic Filing in Judge Sim Lake’s Court, But Granted to IFP Siren Lewis
Furthermore, the court ordered a venue transfer from Northern District of Ohio over dismissal, contrary to District of Minnesota recent acts.

Vilt and Associates – Stop Foreclosure and Keep Your Home
This foreclosure defense law firm have a misleading advert which claims to have “saved” over 300 homes from foreclosure. We haven’t found a single home where these lawyers have won a case where the homeowner gets to “Keep Your Home” and this case is a prime example.
Indeed the homeowner submitted a comment on this page on January 4, 2022 asking that LIT take down this article as she most likely heard that her case was going to be dismissed after the cancelled conference which was to be heard on Jan. 7. On Jan 6, the order of foreclosure and dismissing her complaint was published on the docket.
The CFPB and the Texas Bar need to review and take the appropriate action against false and misleading advertising by professional lawyers who are preying on homeowners and their fear.
