Recommendation Concerning a Conflict Waiver Request from the Law Firm of Sirote & Permutt, PC.
That the Board take the following action:
A. Authorize a conflict waiver for Sirote & Permutt, PC in connection with a foreclosure action brought on behalf of PennyMac Loan Services, Inc. (PennyMac), against Melissa S. Carter on property located at 6461 Concord Way, Pensacola, Florida 32504; and
B. Authorize the County Attorney to prepare and transmit a letter to Sirote & Permutt, PC that confirms the Board's conflict waiver.
BACKGROUND:
Sirote & Permutt, PC has been tentatively retained by PennyMac to bring a foreclosure action against Melissa Carter. PennyMac holds a first mortgage on Ms. Carter's property at 6461 Concord Way, Pensacola, FL 32504. The County holds a second mortgage on the property, which will likely be eliminated in the foreclosure action regardless of the attorney that handles the foreclosure on behalf of PennyMac. The waiver is necessary because Sirote & Permutt, PC has previously handled other foreclosure actions on behalf of the County.
