Heading: Order of Priority

Text: [¶ 23] A mortgage holder's statement of material facts must include the order of priority and any amounts that may be due to other parties in interest, including any public utility easements. HSBC Mortg. Servs., 2011 ME 59, ¶ 9 n. 6, 19 A.3d 815; Chase Home Fin., 2009 ME 136, ¶ 11, 985 A.2d 508. [¶ 24] The court file reveals a variety of court filings, including the complaint and an affidavit filed by the Association a month after HSBC filed its motion for summary judgment, that provide information concerning the Association's having an interest in or a lien on the subject property and the amount due to the Association. The information in these documents was not, however, incorporated into the summary judgment record because HSBC's statement of material facts fails to include the order of priority and any amounts that may be due to other parties in interest, as required. [¶ 25] A court will consider only those facts set forth in a statement of material facts, as included in the summary judgment record, and will not consider facts submitted outside of the summary judgment process. Chase Home Fin., 2009 ME 136, ¶ 12 n. 4, 985 A.2d 508; Camden Nat'l Bank v. Peterson, 2008 ME 85, ¶ 26, 948 A.2d 1251 (holding that the court erred in granting a summary judgment to a bank in a foreclosure action when the court considered deposition transcripts and an exhibit the bank submitted outside of the Rule 56 process after it filed its statement of material facts). Viewing the summary judgment record in a light most favorable to Gabay, a genuine issue of material fact exists as to the order of priority and amounts due to other parties-in-interest.
