Foreclosure Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Greenlee, Rebecca

 

AC 47040 - Retained Realty, Inc. v. Selke ("On September 17, 2024, this court ordered that the parties, the plaintiff, Retained Realty, Inc., and the defendant Christopher A. Selke, file supplemental memoranda addressing whether the defendant’s appeal from the trial court’s judgment of foreclosure by sale of the defendant’s property should be dismissed as moot where, after the trial court terminated the appellate stay, it approved the committee’s sale of the property on April 5, 2024, which extinguished the defendant’s right of redemption, and, thereafter, title to the property vested in the successful bidder. See U.S. Bank, National Assn. v. Fitzpatrick, 206 Conn. App. 509, 514–15, 260 A.3d 1240 (2021); Connecticut Savings Bank v. Howes, 9 Conn. App. 446, 447–48, 519 A.2d 1216 (1987). Neither party filed a response to this order. After a careful review of the record, briefs, and appendices on file, we have determined that this appeal is moot. See, e.g., BNY Western Trust v. Roman, 102 Conn. App. 265, 266–67, 926 A.2d 36 (after sale is approved and relevant appeal periods have expired, any action by mortgagor to redeem should be dismissed as moot), cert. denied, 284 Conn. 935, 937 A.2d 693 (2007). The appeal is dismissed ")
