Foreclosure: Cronenwett Approaches Judge Lynn Hughes for Attorney Fees After Default Judgment

Hell Yeah, Judge Hughes replies. If I cannot get out to conduct the foreclosure auction myself, the least I can do is grant y’all fees.

(4:19-cv-04613)
District Court, S.D. Texas

NOV 25, 2019 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: AUG 18, 2021

Judge Lynn N. Hughes, Admonished many times for Abuse of His Position, We Tell Foreclosure Litigants to Stand Up for their Often Denied Rights in Law…

Compare with…

“Because Robey is claiming that defendants violated the FDCPA by attempting to collect attorney’s fees that were not permitted under Oklahoma law, the Second Circuit’s reasoning in Miller and our decision in Johnson apply with equal force to this case . Accordingly, Robey has been injured under the terms of the FDCPA and can seek legal redress of his claims under that act. He has thus satisfied the “injury in fact” and other requirements of constitutional standing.”

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES

Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee of the Aames Mortgage Investment Trust 2004-1 (“Plaintiff”) files this Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorneys’ Fees (“Motion”) and respectfully shows the Court:

On November 25, 2019, Plaintiff filed its Original Complaint against Lelia Jones- Wheatfall and Michael Wayne Weathfall (together, “Defendants”) seeking an order allowing foreclosure against their interest in certain real property. (ECF 1.)

On December 17, 2020, Plaintiff filed Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment (“Motion”).

(ECF No. 23.)

The Court entered the Order granting Plaintiff’s Motion on January 14, 2021.

(ECF No. 26.)

The Order allowed Plaintiff to seek attorneys’ fees by February 5, 2021, through subsequent motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d)(2)(B)(i).

Plaintiff incurred $9,399.00 in reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees in filing and prosecuting Plaintiff’s claims to enforce its interest in certain real property as a result of the default under the loan agreement made subject to this

See Exhibit A,

Declaration of Mark Cronenwett.

A true and correct copy of the detailed billing statements showing the attorneys’ fees by name, date, and amount is attached hereto as

Exhibit A-2.

Accordingly, in this Motion, Plaintiff requests an award of attorneys’ fees in the amount of $9,399.00 that it has incurred in this case.

Plaintiff is entitled to attorneys’ fees pursuant to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 001 because this suit is to enforce a written contract through foreclosure.

See TEX. CIV. P. REM. CODE § 38.001(8).

Furthermore, the loan contract provides for recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in pursuit of foreclosure.

(See ECF Doc. No. 1-1, page 13-14.)

Plaintiff seeks attorneys’ fees as an additional debt secured by the subject Note and Security Instrument and not as a personal judgment against the Defendants.

PRAYER

For these reasons, Plaintiff requests that the Court award Plaintiff attorneys’ fees in the total amount of $9,399.00, to be recovered not as a personal judgment against Defendants but as a further obligation secured by the property at issue under the Note and Security Instrument made basis of this suit.

Plaintiff also prays for all relief, whether at law or in equity, to which it is justly entitled.

Respectfully submitted,

By: /s/ Vivian N. Lopez

TX State n’ Federal Officers of the Court Garner Illicit Fees from Felon’s Fraudulent Real Estate Scheme

A fraudulent foreclosure auction system enables a felon with multiple businesses to litigate repeatedly over homes he does not legally own.

The Wolves of Texas and That Russian-German Bank v the Non-Prisoners, Esta and Lawrence Lippman

Defendants failed to pay the amounts owed on the Loan Agreement, and on April 20, 2020 sent a notice of default.

A Big Question Was Asked of the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit: Are Y’all Impartial?

The answer to that question is easy. The 11th Circuit is biased and are protective of their own ochlocracy, rather than the US Constitution.
