Catale ("In this residential mortgage foreclosure action, the defendants Vito Catale and Maria Catale appeal from the trial court's granting of an amended 'ex parte' application for a prejudgment remedy (ex parte application) filed by the original plaintiff, GMAT Legal Title Trust 2014-1, U.S. Bank, National Association as Legal Title Trustee. The defendants claim that the court improperly granted the plaintiff's ex parte application because (1) certain statutorily required affidavits either were missing or insufficient and, therefore, the court lacked jurisdiction over the ex parte application, and (2) even if the court had jurisdiction over the ex parte application, the court deprived the defendants of due process by granting it without providing the defendants with a postattachment hearing at which they would have had an opportunity to challenge both whether probable cause existed to order a prejudgment remedy and in what amount. . . we affirm the judgment of the court.")
