WI Court of Appeals: District III
Case Name: U.S. Bank, National Association et al v. Lore A. Hermes et al
Case No.: 2014AP2904
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Foreclosure – Consent Judgment
Lori Hermes, pro se, appeals an order denying her WIS. STAT. § 806.07 motion for relief from a foreclosure judgment granted in favor of Bank of America, N.A. and an order confirming the sheriff’s sale. Hermes argues Bank of America fraudulently obtained the foreclosure of her property and further contends that a consent judgment in a federal case required Bank of America to cease the foreclosure action. Hermes alternatively argues Bank of America agreed to cease the foreclosure action as part of a private settlement with Hermes. Finally, Hermes asserts the circuit court “did not act impartially” in this matter. For the reasons stated below, we reject Hermes’s arguments and affirm the orders.
