Deutsche Bank v. City of Prov.

DECISION

This case is before the Court on the complaint of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company ("Deutsche Bank"). The complaint seeks a declaration that certain City of Providence's Ordinances are preempted by state and federal law. Deutsche Bank also seeks a writ of mandamus directing the City's Recorder of Deeds to record the foreclosure deeds presented by Deutsche Bank. For the reasons set forth below, the Court grants Deutsche Bank's request for declaratory relief with respect to certain portions of the Ordinances but denies its petition for a writ of mandamus.
