Brown

INTRODUCTION

In 2007 Cherie Brown purchased a home from Youval Zive and executed a promissory note in favor of Zive secured by a deed of trust. The principal amount of the promissory note included the balance due on two underlying promissory notes executed by Zive in favor of Washington Mutual Bank and secured by deeds of trust on the property. In 2011 Zive foreclosed on the property, and the property was sold at a trustee’s sale. Brown filed this action against Zive and others for fraud, wrongful foreclosure, and quiet title. She asserted one cause of action for quiet title against Deutsche Bank Trust Company, the trustee for a securitized trust into which one of the underlying Washington Mutual loans was transferred. Brown argues the trial court erred in granting Deutsche Bank’s motion for summary judgment and denying her request for a continuance under Code of Civil Procedure section 437c, subdivision (h).1 We affirm.
