GMAC Mortgage, LLC v. Palenzuela

The appellant, GMAC Mortgage, LLC, appeals an order releasing escrowed funds in the sum of $393,609.41 to a redeeming party in a mortgage foreclosure action based upon evidence and testimony given at an evidentiary hearing. According to GMAC, the funds represented unpaid interest, insurance premiums, and other es-crowed items. The record, however, contains no transcript of the hearing, and GMAC’s post-hearing efforts to create a record by affidavits of counsel and the GMAC witness who testified are too little too late.
