The court finds that Joyce Musumano did not sign the September 12, 1989 Guaranty of Payment. The plaintiff failed to prove that Gregory Musumano signed Joyce's name to the document as her agent or that she ratified the signing of her name to the document by Gregory or anyone else. Therefore, Joyce Musumano is not liable for the debt in question.
So ordered,
