Lawsuit: Current Philly Sheriff Not Legal, Void All Foreclosures Conducted By Her

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Daily News reports:

• A candidate in next week's primary election for sheriff filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court last week seeking to void all mortgage-foreclosure sales conducted under acting Sheriff Barbara Deeley.
• The suit, which names as its plaintiffs Democratic candidate Jacque Whaumbush and former West Philadelphia homeowner Glenda Sanders, seeks an order from the court declaring that Deeley "is not, and never was, the Sheriff or 'Acting Sheriff' " of Philadelphia and overturning the sheriff sale held April 5.
• The suit claims that the sale shouldn't be recognized because Deeley was never confirmed by the state Senate after she took over the office on an interim basis to fill in for Sheriff John Green, who retired in December.
