Maryland Foreclosure Mills Take Easy Way Out; Opt To Dismiss Lawsuits Rather Than Face Embarrassment Of Explaining Robosigned Paperwork

In Montgomery County, Maryland, The Daily Record reports:

• Attorneys have gotten the message that it is better to dismiss foreclosure proceedings if they didn't personally sign their names to the documents, Judge John W. Debelius III said Wednesday.
• "People have dismissed rather than come to a show cause and explain inappropriate behavior," said Debelius, the administrative judge in Montgomery County Circuit Court.
• Debelius offered that as an explanation for the expeditious handling of show-cause hearings in his Rockville courthouse. They are handled by a special master in a conference room rather than in a courtroom proceeding, as is often done in Baltimore City Circuit Court.
