Comes now Plaintiff Barry S. Fagan herewith serves upon Defendants and their Attorneys of record his Request for Judicial Notice of a related case/report issued from the Office of the Assessor-Recorder San Francisco Report as sponsored by Phil Ting Assessor-Recorder for San Francisco entitled FORECLOSURE IN CALIFORNIA A CRISIS OF COMPLIANCE SAN FRANCISCO | FEBRUARY 2012 as prepared by Aequitas Compliance Solutions, Inc.
This is an official act of the Office of the Assessor-Recorder San Francisco Report as sponsored by Phil Ting Assessor-Recorder for San Francisco and Plaintiff hereby requests that the Court take Judicial Notice of the following AEQUITAS REPORT dated February 2012 and attached in its entirety as Exhibit A with this Request For Judicial Notice. That report specifically concludes that an audit by San Francisco county officials of about 400 recent foreclosures there determined that almost all involved either legal violations or suspicious documentation and that in a significant number of cases that 45 percent of the foreclosures, properties were sold at auction to entities improperly claiming to be the beneficiary of the deeds of trust. In other words, the report said, “a ‘stranger’ to the deed of trust,” gained ownership of the property; as a result, the sale may be invalid, it said. In 6 percent of cases, the same deed of trust to a property was assigned to two or more different entities, raising questions about which of them actually had the right to foreclose. Many of the foreclosures that were scrutinized showed gaps in the chain of title, the report said, indicating that written transfers from the original owner to the entity currently claiming to own the deed of trust have disappeared.
The issues and findings are intimately related to the case at bar and is authorized under California Evidence Code § 452.
