Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation v. Alan Wilsey and Sandra Wilsey.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hamilton County

Case Number: E2011-01507-COA-R3-CV

Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby

Originating Judge: Judge W. Jeffrey Hollingsworth

Date Filed: Monday, May 21, 2012

This appeal involves an unlawful detainer action. After foreclosure, the defendants refused to leave the subject property. The plaintiff filed this unlawful detainer action against the defendants, and ultimately filed a motion for summary judgment. In response, the defendants, acting pro se, filed documents suggesting fraud and/or unlawful foreclosure practices. The defendants filed no evidence to support their claims and no other response to the plaintiff’s motion. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The defendants now appeal. Discerning no error, we affirm the trial court’s decision.
