Heading: The Proceedings in the Jefferson Circuit Court

Text: Chase Finance filed separate actions in the Jefferson Circuit Court seeking declarations that the mortgage interests of Chase Finance in the Swoopes property and the Evans property had not been impaired by the foreclosure sales to First Properties and Special Assets. [4] Chase Finance later filed a motion to consolidate the two actions, which the Jefferson Circuit Court granted. The circuit court entered a summary judgment in favor of Chase Finance in both actions, holding that the fire districts had failed to use reasonable efforts to identify the mortgagees of the properties and to provide actual notice of the upcoming foreclosure sales and therefore had violated Chase Finance's constitutional due-process rights. First Properties and Special Assets filed a joint motion to alter, amend, or vacate the judgment, which was denied. First Properties and Special Assets appeal.
