Hamel v. Lenox Financial Mortgage Corp. CA4/2
In August 2012, plaintiffs and appellants Matthew and Dawn Hamel sued, among others, defendants and respondents Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (Bear Stearns), Lenox Financial Mortgage Corporation (Lenox), and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (Fidelity), for the allegedly wrongful foreclosure of their property located in Fontana, California (the property). On October 24, 2013, the trial court granted Lenox’s demurrer to the Hamels’ third amended complaint without leave to amend. On November 26, 2013, the trial court dismissed Bear Stearns and Fidelity as unserved defendants. In October 2014, the Hamels filed a fourth amended complaint for fraud and slander of title, again naming Bear Stearns as a defendant. Their sole claim against Bear Stearns was for fraud. On June 30, 2015, the trial court held a hearing for an order to show cause regarding dismissal of the action, and took the matter under submission.
