PER CURIAM.
Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC, appeals the order
denying its motion to add mobile home information to the trial
court’s summary final judgment and certificate of title issued
following judicial sale of the subject foreclosed property. 1 We
reverse.
For reasons discussed in our opinion in the companion appeal
in case number 5D2025-1687, we reversed the underlying final
judgment of foreclosure and remanded for further proceedings. 2
Because the final judgment has been reversed, the certificate of
title issued subsequent to the foreclosure sale required thereby is
no longer of any legal force or effect. As a result, the order subject
of Carrington’s otherwise meritorious appeal in this case is due to
be reversed.
Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s order denying
Carrington’s motion to add mobile home information to the trial
court’s summary final judgment and resulting certificate of title
and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings.
JAY, C.J., and SOUD and BOATWRIGHT, JJ., concur.
1 No appellee has made an appearance or filed a brief in this
appeal.
2 The issue in 5D2025-1687 involves the trial court’s dismissal
of Carrington’s claim for reformation of the description of the
subject property seeking to include a more precise legal metes and
bounds description. Here, the issue appealed by Carrington is the
trial court’s denial of its request to add to the legal description the
2000 mobile home currently affixed to the property and running
with the secured land. While the issues in the appeals are
different, each appeal is born from the same summary final
judgment.
