ROBERT HERRERA et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants, v. DEUTSCHE1 BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY et al., Defendants and Respondents.
C065630 (Super. Ct. No. SC20090170)
SUMMARY Plaintiffs Robert and Gail Herrera lost their house in South Lake Tahoe to a nonjudicial foreclosure sale. brought suit to set aside that sale. They
The name of defendant Deutsche Bank National Trust Company was misspelled “Deutsch” by plaintiffs in the complaint and other filings. We use the correct spelling in our opinion. 1
National Trust Company (the Bank) and California Reconveyance Company (CRC), were in fact the beneficiary and trustee, respectively, under a deed of trust secured by their property, and thus had authority to conduct the sale. Plaintiffs also
contend that they are entitled to be repaid for the expenses they incurred in repairing and insuring the property and paying back taxes if defendants are successful in establishing their interest in the property. Defendants moved for summary judgment. In support of
a declaration by a custodian of records for CRC, in which the custodian did not expressly declare that the Bank was the beneficiary and CRC the trustee. Instead, she merely declared
that an Assignment of Deed of Trust and a Substitution of Trustee had been recorded and these recorded documents indicated the Bank had been assigned the deed of trust and that CRC had been substituted as trustee. Plaintiffs appeal from a judgment after the trial court granted defendants‟ motion for summary judgment. They contend
defendants failed to carry their burden in moving for summary judgment and the trial court erred in taking judicial notice of and accepting as true the contents of certain recorded documents. We agree and reverse the judgment in part. 2 For
the reasons discussed herein, we affirm the judgment as to the fourth cause of action, plaintiffs‟ claim of unjust enrichment. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In June of 2008, plaintiffs purchased the property at 739 Alameda Avenue, South Lake Tahoe (the Property) at a foreclosure sale. On February 27, 2009, CRC recorded a
“Notice of Default and Election to Sell [the Property] Under Deed of Trust.” Trustee‟s Sale. On May 29, 2009, CRC recorded a Notice of On July 6, 2009, CRC recorded a Trustee‟s
against the Bank, CRC and others to set aside the sale, cancel the trustee‟s deed, quiet title to the Property, and for unjust enrichment. In the first cause of action, plaintiffs sought to set aside the trustee‟s sale. Plaintiffs alleged they purchased
a deed of trust from 2003, as it did not appear in the title search. About a year later, after plaintiffs had completed
repair work on the Property, the Bank, “some mega-too-big-tofail recipient of billions of tax payer dollars” asserted an ownership interest in the Property. The Bank claimed to be the
owner of the Property by virtue of a trustee‟s deed recorded “by an entity purporting to be the trustee.” 3
In seeking to set aside the trustee‟s sale, plaintiffs alleged that during the year they were the owners of the Property, they never received any notices of assignment of trustee‟s deeds or notices of deficiency, nor did they receive any notices of trustee‟s sale or trustee‟s deeds. They alleged, on information and belief, that “CRC may be, or have been the Trustee, on a purported Trustee‟s sale of the subject property, to an entity which may have transferred whatever interest may have been acquired in the trustee‟s sale to Defendant Deutsch[e].” Plaintiffs alleged CRC
was not the trustee and had no authority to conduct a trustee‟s sale, and believed no such sale had taken place. They further alleged any promissory note supporting the 2003 deed of trust was “time barred by the statute” and the maker, if any, “was lulled into believing that no action would be taken to enforce the 2003 [deed of trust] because no collection actions were taken within a reasonable time and no legally required notices of deficiency were sent or recorded.” In the second cause of action, plaintiffs sought to cancel the trustee‟s deed. Plaintiffs alleged the original promissory
note and deed of trust no longer existed and the Bank‟s deed was invalid “as it is based solely upon purported copies which have no force and effect.” The third cause of action was to quiet title to the Property. Plaintiffs alleged defendants had no original,
verifiable promissory note or deed of trust and had no standing 4
They further alleged all rights, title and
interest asserted by defendants “were sublimated into a nonfunctional „security‟ instrument that gives no one entity rights in individual notes and deeds of trust.” No defendant had an
interest in the Property, but they had placed a cloud upon plaintiffs‟ title. In the fourth cause of action, entitled unjust enrichment, plaintiffs alleged they had paid back taxes, insured the Property, and repaired deferred maintenance. If defendants
were successful in claiming an interest in the Property, plaintiffs wanted to be repaid for their expenditures. The Bank and CRC moved for summary judgment or summary adjudication on each cause of action, contending there was no triable issue of fact as to any of plaintiffs‟ claims. They
properly noticed the trustee‟s sale.
sent to plaintiffs and California law did not require the original promissory note to foreclose. The Bank and CRC further
contended that to quiet title, plaintiffs must allege tender, or an offer of tender, of the amount owed. They also contended
there was no evidence of unjust enrichment. In support of their motion, defendants requested that the court take judicial notice of certain documents pursuant to Evidence Code sections 451, subdivision (f) and 452, subdivisions (d), (g) and (h). These documents were: 5
(1) the Trustee‟s Deed upon Sale recorded August 13, 2008, under which plaintiffs took title to the Property; (2) a Grant Deed recorded December 13, 2002, showing the transfer of the Property to Sheryl Kotz; (3) the Deed of Trust recorded April 30, 2003, with Sheryl Kotz as trustor and Long Beach Mortgage Company as trustee and beneficiary (the 2003 deed of trust); (4) an Assignment of Deed of Trust recorded February 27, 2009, assigning all interest under the 2003 deed of trust to the Bank by JPMorgan Chase Bank, as successor in interest to Washington Mutual Bank, successor in interest to Long Beach Mortgage Company; (5) a Substitution of Trustee recorded February 27, 2009, under which the Bank substituted CRC as trustee under the 2003 deed of trust; (6) a “Notice of Default and Election to Sell [the Property] Under Deed of Trust” recorded February 27, 2009; (7) a Notice of Trustee‟s Sale under the 2003 deed of trust recorded May 29, 2009; and (8) a Trustee‟s Deed upon Sale recorded July 6, 2009, under which the Bank, as foreclosing beneficiary, was the grantee of the Property. To support their motion, defendants also provided the declaration of Deborah Brignac. Brignac was a vice-president She was one of the
custodians of records for the loan that was the subject of plaintiffs‟ complaint. She declared that the CRC loan records 6

deed of trust was recorded February 27, 2009, indicating the transfer of all interest in the 2003 deed of trust to the Bank. A Substitution of Trustee was recorded the same date. According
to Brignac‟s declaration, the Bank‟s substitution “substitutes the original trustee, Long Beach Mortgage Company for [CRC].” Brignac further declared that a Notice of Default and Election to Sell under Deed of Trust was recorded on February 27, 2009, and copies were sent to plaintiffs on March 4, 2009, as shown in the affidavits of mailing attached to her declaration. A Notice of Trustee‟s Sale was recorded on
The recorded documents attached to Brignac‟s declaration indicate that the first name of Ms. Kotz is “Sheryl,” not “Shelia.”
The Property was sold at a trustee‟s sale on At the time of sale, the total unpaid debt was

plaintiffs tender the unpaid debt. The Bank and CRC filed a separate statement of undisputed facts setting forth the facts as stated in Brignac‟s declaration. In response, plaintiffs admitted the description of the Property and that they purchased it on June 24, 2008, at a foreclosure sale; they disputed all of the remaining facts. They asserted that the Brignac declaration was without foundation and contained hearsay and that all of the recorded documents contained hearsay. In their opposition to the motion for summary judgment, plaintiffs began with a diatribe against the “Foreclosure Industry,” asserting the industry operated “as if the Evidence Code, the law of contracts, assignments, deeds of trust and foreclosure are merely optional.” They contended defendants
failed to meet their burden of proof for summary judgment because their request for judicial notice and Brignac‟s

asserted defendants lacked standing to foreclose because they had not produced even a copy of the promissory note. Plaintiffs moved to strike the declaration of Brignac as lacking foundation and containing hearsay. the request for judicial notice. documents were all hearsay. They also opposed
Evidence and federal case law grounded on the federal rules, plaintiffs argued a court cannot take judicial notice of disputed facts contained in a hearsay document. Plaintiffs
disputed “virtually everything” in the recorded documents, arguing one can record anything, regardless of its accuracy or correctness. The trial court overruled plaintiffs‟ hearsay objections, denied plaintiffs‟ motion to strike the Brignac declaration, granted defendants‟ request for judicial notice, and granted defendants‟ motion for summary judgment, finding no triable issue of material fact. Bank and CRC. DISCUSSION I. Law of Summary Judgment and Standard of Review Judgment was entered in favor of the
A defendant “may move for summary judgment in any action or proceeding if it is contended that the action has no merit.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 437c, subd. (a).) “A defendant . . . has
met his or her burden of showing that a cause of action has no 9
merit if that party has shown that one or more elements of the cause of action, even if not separately pleaded, cannot be established, or that there is a complete defense to that cause of action. Once the defendant . . . has met that burden, the
motion for summary judgment shall be granted if all the papers submitted show that there is no triable issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” (Id., subd. (c).)
“When the defendant moves for summary judgment, in those circumstances in which the plaintiff would have the burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence, the defendant must present evidence that would preclude a reasonable trier of fact from finding that it was more likely than not that the material fact was true [citation], or the defendant must establish that an element of the claim cannot be established, by presenting evidence that the plaintiff „does not possess and cannot reasonably obtain, needed evidence.‟” (Kahn v. East Side Union A defendant
High School Dist. (2003) 31 Cal.4th 990, 1003.)
moving for summary judgment must “present evidence, and not simply point out that the plaintiff does not possess, and cannot reasonably obtain, needed evidence.” (Aguilar v. Atlantic
Richfield Co. (2001) 25 Cal.4th 826, 854, fn. omitted.) We review a grant of summary judgment de novo. Superior Court (1997) 16 Cal.4th 35, 60.) 10 (Buss v.

While plaintiffs‟ complaint is hardly a model of clarity, it seeks to undo the foreclosure sale. The first three causes
of action -- to set aside the sale, cancel the trustee‟s deed and quiet title -- claim, among other things, that the Bank and CRC had no authority to conduct the foreclosure sale. On this
point, plaintiffs allege the Bank claims to be the owner of the Property by virtue of a trustee‟s deed recorded “by an entity purporting to be the trustee.” They further allege CRC was not
causes of action of plaintiffs‟ complaint are based on the allegations that the Bank had no interest in the Property and CRC was not the trustee and had no authority to conduct a trustee‟s sale. Thus, initial issues framed by the pleadings
are whether the Bank was the beneficiary under the 2003 deed of trust and whether CRC was the trustee under that deed of trust. The fourth cause of action for unjust enrichment raises 11
different issues and will be discussed separately in part III. of the Discussion, post. Defendants moved for summary judgment on the basis that plaintiffs‟ allegations were not supported by the undisputed facts. They asserted CRC was the trustee pursuant to the
Substitution of Trustee recorded by the Bank as beneficiary under the 2003 deed of trust. To establish that CRC was the trustee and thus had authority to conduct the trustee‟s sale, defendants requested that the trial court take judicial notice of the recorded Assignment of Deed of Trust, which showed the Bank was the beneficiary. Defendants also requested that the trial court
take judicial notice of the recorded Substitution of Trustee, which showed the Bank, as beneficiary, had substituted CRC as trustee. Matters that may be judicially noticed can support a motion for summary judgment. (Code Civ. Proc., § 437c, subd. (b)(1).)
However, plaintiffs contend the trial court erred in taking judicial notice of the disputed facts contained within the recorded documents. We agree.
“„Judicial notice is the recognition and acceptance by the court, for use by the trier of fact or by the court, of the existence of a matter of law or fact that is relevant to an issue in the action without requiring formal proof of the matter.‟” (Lockley v. Law Office of Cantrell, Green, Pekich,
“Judicial notice may not be taken of any matter unless authorized or required by law.” (Evid. Code, § 450.) “Matters
(2007) 148 Cal.App.4th 97, 113.) “Taking judicial notice of a document is not the same as accepting the truth of its contents or accepting a particular interpretation of its meaning.” (Joslin v. H.A.S. Ins. While courts take
document, . . . the truthfulness and proper interpretation of the document are disputable.” (StorMedia, Inc. v. Superior
Court (1999) 20 Cal.4th 449, 457, fn. 9 (StorMedia).) This court considered the scope of judicial review of a recorded document in Poseidon Development, Inc. v. Woodland Lane Estates, LLC (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 1106 (Poseidon). “[T]he
fact a court may take judicial notice of a recorded deed, or similar document, does not mean it may take judicial notice of factual matters stated therein. [Citation.] For example, the
First Substitution recites that Shanley „is the present holder of beneficial interest under said Deed of Trust.‟ By taking
judicial notice of the First Substitution, the court does not take judicial notice of this fact, because it is hearsay and it 13
cannot be considered not reasonably subject to dispute.” at p. 1117.) The same situation is present here.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, “successor in interest to WASHINGTON MUTUAL BANK, SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST TO LONG BEACH MORTGAGE COMPANY” assigns all beneficial interest under the 2003 deed of trust to the Bank. The recitation that JPMorgan Chase Bank is the
to establish that JPMorgan Chase Bank had the beneficial interest under the 2003 deed of trust to assign to the Bank. The truthfulness of the contents of the Assignment of Deed of Trust remains subject to dispute (StorMedia, supra, 20 Cal.4th at p. 457, fn. 9), and plaintiffs dispute the truthfulness of the contents of all of the recorded documents. Judicial notice of the recorded documents did not establish that the Bank was the beneficiary or that CRC was the trustee under the 2003 deed of trust. Defendants failed to establish
“facts justifying judgment in [their] favor” (Bono, supra, 103 Cal.App.4th at p. 1432), through their request for judicial notice. 14
Defendants also relied on Brignac‟s declaration, which declared that the 2003 deed of trust permitted the beneficiary to appoint successor trustees. Brignac, however, did not simply
judicially noticed documents; they establish only that the documents were recorded. Brignac further declared that “[t]he Assignment of Deed of Trust indicates that JPMorgan Bank [sic], successor in interest to Washington Mutual Bank, successor in interest to Long Beach Mortgage Company, transfers all beneficial interest in connection with the [deed of trust] to Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as Trustee for Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2003-4.” (Italics added.) This declaration is
insufficient to show the Bank is the beneficiary under the 2003 deed of trust. A supporting declaration must be made
Brignac‟s declaration does not
affirmatively show that she can competently testify the Bank is the beneficiary under the 2003 deed of trust. At most, her
assignment are hearsay and defendants offered no exception to
the hearsay rule prior to oral argument to make these factual matters admissible. At oral argument, defendants contended that the recorded documents were actually business records and admissible under the business record exception. We note that Brignac did not
provide any information in her declaration establishing that the sources of the information and the manner and time of preparation were such as to indicate trustworthiness. Code, § 1271, subd. (d).)5 Information concerning this Yet, this (Evid.
Brignac stated the following in her declaration concerning the foundational elements for the business records exception: “1. I am a Vice President of California Reconveyance Company („CRC‟). I am also a custodian of records for CRC and am one of the custodians of records for the loan which is the subject of plaintiffs‟ Complaint in this case. These records include computer records and written correspondence. I make this declaration based on my review of these records, as well as plaintiffs‟ Complaint. If called as a witness in this case, I am competent to testify of my own personal knowledge, to the best of my recollection, as to the matters set forth in this Declaration. [¶] 2. The CRC loan records were made in the ordinary course of business by individuals who had a business duty to make such entries and records, and were made at or about the time of the events reflected in the records.” No further attempt was made to establish the foundational elements for the business record exception.
Indeed, contrary to defendants‟ assertion in the respondents‟ brief that “Ms. Brignac attested to the validity of the documents attached as exhibits to her declaration . . . -documents which she declared under penalty of perjury were true and correct copies,” there is no statement by Brignac anywhere in her declaration that the documents were true and correct copies. 16
information was critical in light of the evidentiary gap establishing the purported assignments from Long Beach Mortgage Company to Washington Mutual Bank to JPMorgan Chase Bank. The
records used to generate the information in the Assignment of Deed of Trust, if they exist, were undoubtedly records not prepared by CRC, but records prepared by Long Beach Mortgage Company, Washington Mutual and JPMorgan Chase. Defendants have
not shown how Brignac could have provided information about the source of that information or how those documents were prepared. (See Cooley v. Superior Court (2006) 140 Cal.App.4th 1039 [district attorney unable to attest to attributes of subpoenaed records in his possession relevant to their authenticity and trustworthiness]; Evid. Code, § 1561.) Moreover, the timing of
those purported assignments relative to the recording of those events on the Assignment of Deed of Trust cannot be found in the Brignac declaration or anywhere else in the record. We also note that Brignac did not identify either the February 27, 2009 Assignment of Deed of Trust, or another key document, the February 27, 2009 Substitution of Trustee, as business records in her declaration. Rather, she referenced
both documents in her declaration by stating that “[a] recorded copy” was attached as an exhibit. In light of the request for
judicial notice, we take this statement to mean that the exhibits represented copies of records on file at the county
recorder‟s office.7
On a motion for summary judgment, the
affidavits or declarations of the moving party are strictly construed against the moving party. 38 Cal.3d 18, 35 (Mann).) (Mann v. Cracchiolo (1985)

Brignac‟s declaration is lacking in yet another way. confusing as to the effect of the Substitution of Trustee. declares, “The Substitution by Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as Trustee for Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2003-4 substitutes the original trustee, Long Beach Mortgage Company for California Reconveyance Company.” Brignac‟s declaration It is She Accordingly, we
(and defendants‟ statement of undisputed facts) can be read to state that the Bank substituted Long Beach Mortgage Company for CRC as trustee, rather than that CRC was substituted for Long Beach Mortgage Company. We must strictly construe this (Mann, supra, 38 Cal.3d at
Even if we were to construe Brignac‟s declaration to
state that the Bank substituted CRC as trustee under the 2003 deed of trust, it would be insufficient to establish CRC is the trustee. A declaration that the Substitution of Trustee by the
Bank made CRC trustee would require admissible evidence that the Bank was the beneficiary under the 2003 deed of trust and thus had the authority to substitute the trustee. As explained ante,
defendants failed to provide admissible evidence that the Bank was the beneficiary under the 2003 deed of trust. At oral argument, defendants asserted that plaintiffs‟ hearsay objections to their separate statement of facts did not comply with the California Rules of Court. Court, rule 3.1354(b).) (See Cal. Rules of
order granting summary judgment, stating “Plaintiffs‟ hearsay objections are overruled.” The wording of the court‟s order
(drafted by defendants) suggests the ruling was made on substantive evidentiary grounds, not procedural grounds, and there is no evidence in the record to the contrary. Because defendants failed to present facts to establish that the Bank was beneficiary and CRC was trustee under the 2003 deed of trust, and therefore had authority to conduct the foreclosure sale, triable issues of material fact remain as to the first three causes of action. The trial court erred in
granting summary judgment and it would be error to grant summary adjudication as to any of those causes of action. 19
Defendants moved for summary judgment or, alternatively, for summary adjudication as to each cause of action. Accordingly, we consider whether summary adjudication was proper as to the fourth cause of action. The fourth cause of action is entitled “Unjust Enrichment.” Plaintiffs allege that, in the event the Bank is successful in asserting its claim to the Property, defendants should pay plaintiffs all monies they expended on the Property for back taxes, insurance and deferred maintenance. In their motion for
summary judgment or summary adjudication, defendants contend there can be no claim of unjust enrichment because the Bank had a right to protect its security interest in the Property and it is “inconceivable” CRC was unjustly enriched once plaintiffs defaulted on their obligation. “There is no cause of action for unjust enrichment. Rather, unjust enrichment is a basis for obtaining restitution based on quasi-contract or imposition of a constructive trust. (1 Witkin, Summary of Cal. Law (10th ed. 2005) Contracts, §§ 1015, 1016, pp. 1104-1105.)” (McKell v. Washington Mutual, Plaintiffs fail to
plead a basis for restitution; they allege only that they spent money on the Property and they would like the money back if they lose the Property. The fourth cause of action pleads no recognizable legal claim and thus is subject to summary adjudication. “The
procedure for resolving a summary judgment motion presupposes 20
that the pleadings are adequate to put in issue a cause of action or defense thereto. [Citation.] However a pleading
may be defective in failing to allege an element of a cause of action or in failing to intelligibly identify a defense thereto. In such a case, the moving party need not address a missing element or, obviously, respond to assertions which are unintelligible or make out no recognizable legal claim. The
circumstances it has been said that a defendant‟s „motion for summary judgment necessarily includes a test of the sufficiency of the complaint and as such is in legal effect a motion for judgment on the pleadings.‟ [Citation.]” (FPI Development,
Inc. v. Nakashima (1991) 231 Cal.App.3d 367, 382.) Since plaintiffs failed to properly plead a right to restitution on the basis of unjust enrichment, the trial court did not err in granting summary adjudication as to the fourth cause of action.
