PA: Homeowners Appeal to Third Circuit in Foreclosure Fraud Class Action Against Countrywide, Wells Fargo and Phelan Hallinan & Schmieg


On December 6, 2010, the homeowners filed a brief with the Third Circuit, maintaining that reversal of the July 14th order is necessary because (1) the lower court abused its discretion by altogether ignoring the substance of the proposed Amended Complaint and (2) the lower court erred as a matter of law in misconstruing federal bankruptcy law as a basis for its dismissal of the earlier Complaint.
