CITIZENS BANK, N.A, f/k/a RBS CITIZENS, N.A., Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN M. TEEHAN, Defendant

Plaintiff Citizens Bank, N.A., f/k/a RBS Citizens, N.A. ("Plaintiff") commenced this action with the filing of a verified complaint ("the Complaint") on March 21, 2019.

Teehan ("Defendant"). The result of such an adjudication would be to encumber Defendant's interest in the Property. Plaintiff and Defendant cross-moved for summary judgment, and a hearing on those motions was held on September 15, 2020.
