Foreclosure has grown into an epidemic that affects everyone -- or someone they know and love.
It is basically this: the legal process in which a bank holding the mortgage on the property sues the borrower to take back the property when the borrower has not kept up with the mortgage payments. You will know if you are served with foreclosure papers when someone unknown to you places a large package in your hands that says the bank is suing you. Or, if the process server cannot find you, the bank can satisfy the law by publishing a notice about the delinquency in the newspaper. From the date you are served with the foreclosure papers, you only have 20 calendar days to respond or the bank can automatically win the case.

Chrysler exec Jim Press owes IRS, credit union more than $1.4M
Robert Snell - The Detroit News - Friday, September 18, 2009
Chrysler Group LLC Deputy Chief Executive Jim Press owes the IRS almost $1 million in delinquent taxes and is being sued by his credit union for defaulting on a $609,000 loan, according to records obtained by The Detroit News.
Oakland County records chronicle the toll financial industry turmoil and the automobile industry collapse have taken on one of its top executives, whose financial woes mirror those of blue-collar workers and average Joes living paycheck to paycheck -- only on a much grander scale. He recently hired a lawyer, Wallace Handler, who specializes in bankruptcy cases.
Handler and Chrysler spokeswoman Shawn Morgan declined comment this morning.
Last November, as the auto industry teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, and as Press lobbied senators to support a $25 billion bailout package, he was caught in his own financial trap, records show.

Judge throws out petition case
Daily Nation - SAM KIPLAGATP - September 18 2009
The High Court has dismissed a petition challenging the election of Hussein Mohammed Abdikadir as the Mandera Central MP.
Dismissing the petition on Friday, Lady Justice Roselyn Wendoh said that the MP, who is also the chairman of Parliamentary committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs, was not properly served with the suit papers.
According to the Judge, the petitioner, Mr Adan Mohamed did not serve Mr Abdikadir personally with the papers as required by law. She said that Mr Mohamed only left the suit papers at the law firm where Mr Abdikadir practiced from before he became a Member of Parliament.
In the ruling, Justice Wendoh added that Mr Mohamed did not conduct due diligence before serving the MP. Again, said the Judge, a process server sent to serve the suit papers on Abdikadir, was not qualified.

Sheriff making cuts to stay within budget set by supervisors
picayuneitem.com - David A. Farrell - September 17, 2009
PICAYUNE — Sheriff David Allison said in an interview at his courthouse office on Wednesday that county residents will see changes in the sheriff’s department’s services as a result of cuts ordered by supervisors in the 2009-’10 austere budget adopted on Monday by supervisors without any tax increases. The budget takes effect Oct. 1.
By late Wednesday, Allison had informed nine employees they would be laid off as he began the process of bringing his budget into balance with the revenues approved for him by supervisors. Layoffs came in the sheriff’s office and at the jail.
He said that residents will see fewer patrols, response times will be slower and processing investigations and delivering court papers will slow down because of layoffs and a cutback in overtime by investigators.

A Fresno County judge has postponed a ruling on medical marijuana dispensaries.
By KSEE News - September 17
A Fresno County judge has postponed a ruling on medical marijuana dispensaries.
The city is seeking an injunction that would force the nine medical marijuana dispensaries currently open in Fresno to shut down.
But a judge continued the case Thursday, because the city hasn't provided proof that all of the defendants have been notified they are part of the lawsuit.
The city says they will mostly likely be using a different process server after what happened Thursday.
