EverHome Mortgage Co. v. Flores
Defendant, cross-complainant, and appellant Alma Flores appeals from a judgment in favor of plaintiff, cross-defendant, and respondent EverHome Mortgage Company after a bench trial. Plaintiff filed an action to cancel an instrument defendant recorded purporting to reconvey a deed of trust she had previously signed to secure a note. The note had not been repaid in full.
Apparently misunderstanding the nature of judicial jurisdiction, defendant attacks the judgment essentially on the basis that the court lacked jurisdiction. To the extent that we understand her argument, she appears to claim that she herself is a court of record and she did not cede jurisdiction to the superior court or to the judges of that court. Because defendant is not a court of record or any court at all and because the superior court can exercise its jurisdiction over her whether she cedes it or not, we affirm the judgment.
