Lewis Landau will be speaking to the San Fernando Valley Bar
Associations Business, Real Property and Bankruptcy Section. The
argument Lew will make is that MERS is not a proper party to bring a
motion for relief from stay and also that it is possible to invalidate
the deed of trust where MERS is the beneficiary. The program has
attracted some attention and I believe some attorneys attending will
be there to argue to the contrary. Given the current real estate
market, given the problems that the bankruptcy judges are having with
the motions for relief from stay, the proof some judges are requiring
before granting relief from stay and given the potential for
litigation and helping debtor clients, the topic is very timely. If
anyone would like to attend, they should contact Linda Temkin at the
San Fernando Valley Bar Association office at 818.227.0494, extension
105 or email her at events@sfvba.org. One of the San Fernando Valley
judges has committed to attend the program.

"Like the witness protection program!"
"Exactly."
