SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 25 – Juan Sanchez and George Royer sued Bank of America, Bayview Loan Servicing and MERS for predatory mortgage practices. The lawsuit was filed in state court in The Bronx but Bank of America removed it to Federal court.
On March 25, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge LewJohn G. Koeltl held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Plaintiffs counsel said the case should be in The Bronx, before a Bronx jury. Judge Koeltl said he understood the impulse, but that if there is diversity, the case would stay Federal.
He asked the defendants to demonstrate their citizenship (outside of New York).
The case is Sanchez v. Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC et al., 22-cv-1484 (Koeltl)
