Heading: Foreclosure Complaint and Prior Appeal

Text: [¶3] On August 2, 2005, Manning signed a promissory note in the amount of $520,000 listing Mortgage Lenders Network USA, Inc., as the lender, and, in order to secure the note, executed and delivered a mortgage to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as the nominee of the lender. On May 24, 2010, the Bank filed a complaint for foreclosure against Manning, and it amended the complaint on July 15, 2010. [¶4] More than three years after the complaint was filed, the court (Wheeler, J.) dismissed the Bank’s complaint with prejudice because the Bank had failed to timely pay a $150 sanction. See Manning I, 2014 ME 96, ¶ 3, 3 97 A.3d 605 (chronicling the previous pre-trial history of this case). Following the Bank’s timely appeal, we held that the court abused its discretion in dismissing the complaint, vacated the judgment, and remanded the case for further proceedings. See id. ¶¶ 14-20.
