Porch Swing Holdings LLC v. Wayne A. Mallory et al.11/6/2025 5:00:00 AM;2025-11-06T05:00:00Z2024-0108-Appeal.The defendants, Wayne A. Mallory and Linda M. Mallory, appealed from a Superior Court order granting summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff, Porch Swing Holdings LLC. In so doing, the Superior Court concluded that, despite not possessing the promissory note, Porch Swing Holdings was entitled to foreclose upon the property that the Mallorys had mortgaged in exchange for a loan. On appeal, the Mallorys argued that the trial justice erred when he permitted Porch Swing Holdings to foreclose despite not possessing the promissory note. The Supreme Court rejected this premise and recognized that it has “repeatedly said in a long line of cases stemming from Bucci v. Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB, 68 A.3d 1069 (R.I. 2013), [that] a mortgagee need not hold the note in order to foreclose on a property.” Pimentel v. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, 174 A.3d 740, 745 (R.I. 2017). Accordingly, the Supreme Court affirmed the granting of summary judgment.
