LIT COMMENTARY
DEC 23, 2023
“Under the second Lugar prong, a private party can be deemed a state actor if he or she is a “joint participant” with a state official in the offending enterprise. Id. at 931, 102 S.Ct. 2744.
To establish that the attorneys were joint participants in Judge Lambert’s alleged offending enterprise, Ballard is required to demonstrate that the attorneys and the judge knowingly participated in the alleged conspiracy, in this instance, the operation of the debtor’s prison. See Dennis, 449 U.S. at 28, 101 S.Ct. 183.
Upon review of the allegations pleaded in Ballard’s complaint, we again find that his complaint sufficiently alleges facts that, if true, demonstrate that Judge Lambert and the attorneys conspired to violate Ballard’s due process rights.“
Ballard v. Wall, 413 F.3d 510, 519 (5th Cir. 2005)
“Ballard argues that Judge Lambert “abuse[d] her power in complete absence of subject matter jurisdiction to run a Debtors Prison” and that the attorneys acted jointly with her to do so.
With respect to survival of a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), we find that Ballard’s allegations are sufficient to meet the requirements of the two-part Lugar test for establishing state action.”
Ballard v. Wall, 413 F.3d 510, 519 (5th Cir. 2005)
Foreclosure: $318k plus interest starting Jul 31, 2019 and atty fees etc.
The order includes legal description of property, amount of foreclosure to be recovered and other mandated legal requirements.

In the realm of mortgage-backed securities (MBS), such as CWABS 2007-SEA2, a beneficiary-owner is typically an entity that has a financial interest in the cash flows generated by the underlying mortgage loans.
In this case, BDF is responsible for receiving the payments from the homeowners (mortgagors) and distributing them to the investors who hold securities backed by those mortgages.
In simpler terms, the beneficiary-owner of CWABS 2007-SEA2 would be the party entitled to receive the benefits, including cash flows and payments, from the mortgage-backed security.
In this specific case, Barrett Daffin Frappier Turner & Engel, LLP, is serving as the beneficiary-owner or representing the interests of the beneficiary-owner in relation to BONYM CWABS 2007-SEA2.
