#### Sylvester A. Mabie v. John Hatinger.

*Quit-claim from mortgagee*— Pwtial *foreclosures.*

A quit-claim obtained by the mortgager from the mortgagee of premises, for the purpose of perfecting title by redeeming from a sale on partial foreclosure, cannot be construed as discharging the entire mortgage.

The practice of foreclosing for small instalments of interest is condemned as oppressive.

Appeal from Montcalm.

Submitted April 21.

Decided April 25.

Foreclosure. Defendant appeals.

Affirmed.

*T. F. Shields*for complainant.

*Wm. H. Gastel*for defendant.

Marston, J.

The bill in this case was filed to foreclose a mortgage. A statutory foreclosure for a small amount of interest was made in 1878, and a sale made thereunder to complainant. In November, 1878, the defendant visited the complainant for the ostensible purpose of redeeming *342from this sale, and obtained from him a quit-claim deed of the premises, and defendant now claims that he thereby obtained the same discharged from this mortgage, and that even if he did hot complainant cannot ask to have the deed set aside without refunding the consideration paid therefor. It also appears that some defect existed in defendant’s title to a part of the premises and one object in view in obtaining this deed, if not the principal one, was to'perfect this' title.

It was not claimed on the argument, as it could not be successfully, that complainant supposed by giving this deed he was doing any more than what defendant could have-obtained from paying the money to the register. Indeed it was conceded that the whole object spoken of at the time was but a redemption from the mortgage sale. It is too-clear to bear discussion that the defendant cannot now defeat complainant’s mortgage by this deed.

It is true as claimed tliat complainant’s act in foreclosing for such a small instalment and adding thereby so much costs to his claim was unjust and oppressive — and that had defence been made thereto at the time, by tender or otherwise, his claim would not have been sustained. This question does not now arise and we can give no relief in the present action.

The decree of the court below in favor of complainant for the amount due must be affirmed.

Cooley and Campbell, JJ. concurred.

To:      Designated Optionees under the 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan:

         Today, our Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of a substantial
majority of the stock options issued to employees on November 17, 2005 under the
2004 Employee Stock Option Plan. This means that the stock option issued to you
as of November 17, 2005 will become fully exercisable beginning today, instead
of November 17, 2006, which was the date specified in your option agreement.

         Under the Plan, the acceleration of the vesting of your stock option is
an amendment to the stock option agreement signed by you and us as of November
17, 2005, and you have the right to approve any amendment to your stock option
agreement.

         Accordingly, we would like to amend the stock option agreement between
you and us dated as of November 17, 2005 by deleting the date "November 17,
2006" in Section 1 of the stock option agreement, and substituting in its place
the date "December 8, 2005". Please indicate your agreement to this amendment by
signing and returning to us a copy of this agreement, and upon our receipt of
your signed copy of this agreement your stock option agreement will be amended
as of December 8, 2005 as indicated above in this paragraph. All other terms and
conditions of your stock option agreement will remain in effect.

         Please return your signed original of this letter to Lonna Wiersma this
week.

The district court also determined that Ibold failed to demonstrate that counsel's representation was deficient and prejudice. See Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 58-59 (1985); Strickland v.
