Jose G. Oliveira, of Jose G. Oliveira, P.A., Orlando, and Raymer F. Maguire, III, of Maguire, Lassman, P.A., Orlando, for Appellants.
Nancy M. Wallace and Michael J. Larson, of Akerman LLP, Tallahassee, and William P. Heller, of Akerman LLP, Fort Lauderdale, for Appellees.
Andrew La Rosa and 7825 Myrtle Oak Lane, LLC, appeal a final judgment of foreclosure entered in favor of Bank of New York Mellon (“Bank”). We find merit in Appellants' argument that Bank of New York Mellon failed to establish that it had standing to bring the foreclosure action. See McLean v. JP Morgan Chase Bank Nat'l Ass'n, 79 So.3d 170, 173–74 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012)
(holding that “a party's standing is determined at the time the lawsuit was filed” and that “[w]here the plaintiff contends that its standing to foreclose derives from an endorsement of the note, the plaintiff must show that the endorsement occurred prior to the inception of the lawsuit.” (citing
Progressive Express Ins. Co. v. McGrath Cmty. Chiropractic, 913 So.2d 1281, 1286 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005) )); Gonzalez v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, L.P., 180 So.3d 1106, 1108 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015) ( ). Accordingly, we reverse with directions that the trial court enter an order of involuntary dismissal of the action. See
REVERSED.
