Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for Residential Asset Securitization Trust Series 2005-A2 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2005-B v. Brian J. Goodman & a.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2022-0715, Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as Trustee for Residential Asset Securitization Trust
Series 2005-A2 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2005-
B v. Brian J. Goodman & a., the court on May 9, 2024, issued the
following order:

The court has reviewed the written arguments and the record submitted
on appeal and has determined to resolve the case by way of this order. See
Sup. Ct. R. 20(2). Defendant Brian Goodman appeals an order of the Superior
Court (Kissinger, J.) granting summary judgment to the plaintiff, Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for Residential Asset Securitization
Trust Series 2005-A2 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2005-B, on its
claims for declaratory relief, to quiet title, and for attorney’s fees relative to a
mortgage encumbering real property owned by the defendant. On appeal, the
defendant raises a number of arguments, including arguments that the
plaintiff allegedly does not hold the note secured by the mortgage and, thus,
allegedly lacked standing to pursue its complaint against him, and that the
trial court deprived him of his constitutional rights to due process and equal
protection. Based upon our review of the parties’ written arguments, the
relevant law, the record on appeal, and the trial court’s thorough and well-
reasoned decision, we find the defendant’s arguments unpersuasive, and we
affirm the trial court’s decision.

Affirmed.

MacDonald, C.J., and Bassett, Hantz Marconi, Donovan, and Countway,
JJ., concurred.
