U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I Trust 2007 HE4 v. Brian Goodman & a.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2023-0127, U.S. Bank National Association, as
Trustee for Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I Trust 2007
HE4 v. Brian 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 (Schulman, J.) granting summary judgment to the plaintiff, U.S. Bank
National Association, as Trustee for Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I
Trust 2007 HE4, on its claims for declaratory relief relative to a mortgage
encumbering real property owned by the defendant, and denying the
defendant’s cross-motion for summary judgment. On appeal, the defendant
raises a number of arguments, including arguments that the plaintiff does not
hold the note secured by the mortgage and, thus, lacks standing to pursue its
claims or enforce its mortgage interest against him, and that the trial court
deprived him of his constitutional rights to due process and equal protection by
granting the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. Based upon our review
of the briefs, 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.
