Plaintiff William Suser obtained and recorded a mortgage on a West New York condominium unit. He later obtained a foreclosure judgment and a sheriff’s deed that acknowledged title was subject to prior encumbrances. He then filed this action seeking to quiet title through the removal of the two prior mortgages on the property, one recorded by World Savings Bank, FSB, and the other by Washington Mutual Bank, FA. Defendant Wachovia Mortgage FSB, doing business as Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., appeared regarding the World Savings mortgage. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee WAMU 2005-AR2, appeared to defend the WaMu mortgage.
