Pacific First Federal Savings & Loan Ass'n v. Lindberg

This is a suit to foreclose a mortgage. Defendants Cole, grantees of the mortgaged property, appeal from a summary judgment for plaintiff Pacific First Federal, the mortgagee. They contend that the trial court erred in granting Pacific’s motions to strike their affirmative defenses challenging certain provisions of the mortgage documents and in ordering summary judgment for Pacific. The dispositive issue is whether the Coles have standing to challenge the provisions of mortgage documents executed between Pacific and defendants Lindberg, the mortgagors. We conclude that they do not.
