KERI SELMAN
In a decision dated July 23, 2007, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Gloria Byrd et al., Case No. A0700643, Court of Common Pleas, Hamilton County, Ohio, Keri Selman executed an Affidavit in Support of Summary Judgment on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Court ruled on behalf of Wells Fargo even though the Assignment of Mortgage from the original lender, America’s Wholesale Lender, had an effective date of more than five months AFTER Wells Fargo filed its complaint for foreclosure and did not seek or receive leave of Court o file a supplement Complaint. The Court ruled that the Byrds failed to show they were prejudiced by the Assignment.

On February 23, 2009, The Bank of New York as Trustee for the Certificateholders CWABS, Inc. Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006- 22 v. Cremston Myers, et al., Index No. 18236/2008, the Honorable Arthur M. Schack denied without prejudice a Motion for Summary Judgment filed by the bank. The bank was ordered as a condition of renewing its motion to file, within 60 days, “an affidavit by Keri Selman, Assistant Vice President of plaintiff BNY, detailing her employment history for the past three years and explaining why a conflict of interest does not exist where she acted as the assignor of the instant mortgage and note to BNY and served as an officer of assignee BNY; an affidavit from an officer of the original mortgagor, HOMEBRIDGE MORTGAGE BANKERS CORP. [HOMEBRIDGE], explaining whether HOMEBRIDGE was aware of Ms. Selman’s conflict of interest, and if Ms. Selman, in her dual roles as Assistant Vice President of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTMES, INC. [MERS], the nominee for HOMEBRIDGE, and as Assistant Vice President of BNY, fully disclosed to HOMEBRIDGE, the implications of her simultaneous representation of MERS and BNY and the advantages and risks involved…” (footnote omitted).
In a footnote, Judge Schack noted: “Plaintiff’s application is the third application for an order of reference received by me in the past several days that contain an affidavit from Keri Selman…On November 16, 2007, I denied an application for an order of reference (BANK OF NEW YORK A TRUSTEE FOR THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS OF CWABS, INC. ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATES SERIES 2006-8 v. JOSE NUNEZ, et al., Index No. 10457), in which Keri Selman, in her affidavit of merit claims to be “Vice President of COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, Attorney in fact for BANK OF NEW YORK.” The Court is concerned that Ms. Selman might be engaged in a subterfuge, wearing various corporate hats. Before granting an application for an order of reference, the Court requires an affidavit from Ms. Selman describing her employment history for the past three years.” In the Myers decision, Judge Schack noted: “This Court has not yet received any affidavit from Ms. Selman describing her employment history for the past three years, whether it is with MERS, BNY, COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, or any other entity.”

Keri Selman Robo-Signer Extraordinaire
Does anyone have copies of these affidavits or assignments that she’s signed? I’ve got one here and she supposedly signed in TX for MERS/BAC, around Oct 2009. I would like to see if she signed in any other states.
Mr. Peacock,
I am in the middle of a four year long battle with the Bank Of New York as trustee for CWABS 2006-26. I just won a stay in the Appellate Term of New York 2nd Department. In the original foreclosure complaint, there is an affidavit from Keri Selman acting as a VP for BONY. I would be happy to fax this document to you. Also, if you have a copy, I would appreciate it if you could fax it to me. Feel free to call me at (516) 300-0402.
Sincerely,
Michael Ostrowski
