Text: ¶ 5 CONCUR: TAYLOR, C.J., KAUGER, WATT, EDMONDSON, REIF, COMBS, JJ. ¶ 6 DISSENT: WINCHESTER (JOINS GURICH, J.), GURICH (BY SEPARATE WRITING), JJ. ¶ 7 RECUSED: COLBERT, V.C.J. GURICH, J., with whom WINCHESTER, J. joins dissenting: ¶ 1 I respectfully dissent. In this case, the record indicates that attached to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment was an indorsed-in-blank allonge. Because the Plaintiff was the proper party to pursue the foreclosure and because the Plaintiff presented the proper documentation at summary judgment to prove such, the trial court correctly granted the Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment. The Court of Civil Appeals, Division II, affirmed the trial court's grant of summary judgment, finding Plaintiff was the holder of the note at the time it filed its Motion for Summary Judgment and that the Defendant produced no evidence in the trial court to the contrary. In this case, I would affirm the trial court and the Court of Civil Appeals for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinions in Deutsche Bank National Trust Co. v. Matthews, 2012 OK 14, 273 P.3d 43 (Gurich, J. dissenting) and Bank of America, NA v. Kabba, 2012 OK 23, ___ P.3d ___, 2012 WL 738827 (Gurich, J. dissenting). [1]
