UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
VITO V. COSTA and MARION P. COSTA,
Plaintiffs,

DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST
COMPANY AS TRUSTEE FOR GSR
MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST 2006-OAI,
MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH
CERTIFICATES, SERIES 2006-OA1, and
SPECIALIZED LOAN SERVICING LLC,
Defendants.
KATHERINE POLK FAILLA, District Judge:
Stripped of its technical jargon, this case is about whether a nearly
decade-old defaulted mortgage loan remains enforceable. Plaintiffs Vito and
Marion Costa argue that the applicable six-year statute of limitations has
expired and that they are therefore entitled to the cancellation and discharge of
their mortgage loan. Defendants, the loan trustee and the servicer, maintain
that the limitations period has not expired because it had not started prior to
this action or, if it had, it was tolled or renewed; thus, foreclosure is warranted.
Even if their foreclosure claim is time-barred, however, Defendants still seek to
recoup their expenses in maintaining the property over the past decade. The
parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 56 following the close of discovery. For the reasons that follow,
Plaintiffs’ motion is granted and Defendants’ motion is denied.
