Drafting Motion To Opposition

Summary

In Massachusetts, when drafting a motion to reply to opposition, it is crucial to address the points raised by the opposing counsel. Focus on demonstrating how the exclusion of certain parties prevents complete relief and impedes their ability to protect their interests. Highlight the necessity and timeliness of the joinder, despite claims of it being improper or too late. Ensure that all relevant parties are included to avoid multiple inconsistent obligations and to achieve a fair resolution. Consider consulting with a local attorney for specific case law to support your arguments.

I will provide the opposing counsel's statements with Alton's reply. First Alton went under Rule * to seek the court to join parties to this case. Opposing counsel states this: Mr. King’s motion should be denied on its merits. Rule * permits the joinder of parties if, in their absence, (a) “complete relief cannot be accorded among those already parties”or (b) the non-party claims an interest that “is so situated that the disposition of the action in [their]absence may. . .” impede their “ability to protect their interest” or leave the parties subject toincurring multiple inconsistent obligations. Mass. R. Civ. P. *. This is a summary process action
To address the opposing counsel's statements, Alton should focus on the following points:
*. Complete Relief Not Accorded: Argue that without the joinder of additional parties, complete relief cannot be granted to all parties involved. Highlight any specific interests or rights that remain unaddressed.

*. Interest Impact: Demonstrate how the absence of these parties could impede their ability to protect their interests or subject existing parties to multiple inconsistent obligations.
*. Timeliness and Necessity: Provide reasons why the joinder is timely and necessary, despite the opposing counsel’s claims.

for possession. The named parties are the only parties with an ownership or occupancy interest inthe Property, no additional parties are / were necessary to adjudicate the claims / counterclaims,and relief has already been accorded. It is improper, not necessary, and too late to add parties tothis case. As the appeals court recently noted in reference to the judgment in this case: “[the] courthas rendered judgment, and opportunities for appeal have been exhausted [and] ...the judgment is immune from post judgment attack . . . .” Bank of New York Mellon, Trustee, v. Alton King, Jr., * Mass. App. Ct. * at ** (*).
To effectively reply to the opposition, Alton should emphasize these key points:
*. Complete Relief Not Accorded: Highlight any specific interests or rights that remain unresolved without the additional parties.
*. Interest Impact: Illustrate how the absence of these parties could impede their ability to protect their interests or lead to inconsistent obligations for current parties.
*. Timeliness and Necessity: Justify the necessity and timeliness of the joinder despite the opposing counsel’s claims.

they say This is a summary process action for possession. The named parties are the only parties with an ownership or occupancy interest in the Property. Alton stated this:The attorneys did not act independently of their law firms, and allegations by the debt collecting servicer, Select Portfolio Servicing, were submitted in the summary judgment. These allegations are crucial factors in this case. Their exclusion would impede their ability to protect their interest and prevent complete relief. The parties before the court are debt collectors, including the servicer and the attorneys, and are not creditors. BNYMT has purported to have purchased a defaulted, charged-off, time- barred mortgage that was not secured by the promissory note at issue here. It is well-settled law that a party who brings an action must demonstrate how they suffered an injury.
To strengthen the motion to reply to the opposition, Alton should consider the following points:
*. Complete Relief Not Accorded:
- Argue that the exclusion of the debt collecting servicer and attorneys prevents complete relief.
- Highlight specific rights and interests that remain unaddressed.
*. Interest Impact:
- Explain how the absence of these parties impedes their ability to protect their interests.
- Demonstrate potential multiple inconsistent obligations for existing parties.
*. Timeliness and Necessity:
- Justify why the joinder is timely and necessary despite the opposing counsel’s claims.
- Reference relevant case law to support the arguments.
