Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the Court of Appeals of Maryland erred when it denied the Petitioner's petition for writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals, stating there has been no showing that review by certiorari is desirable and in the public interest?

Whether the Court of Appeals of Maryland erred when it denied the Petitioner's petition for writ of certiorari when the Court of Special Appeals (COSA):

Failed to dismiss the 2013 state non-judicial foreclosure action because the Respondents lacked standing to invoke the state court's jurisdiction, due to the Respondents violating federal law, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) once they filed the foreclosure action, therefore divesting the circuit court of subject matter jurisdiction?

Failed to rule on the Petitioner's jurisdictional challenge, and that the circuit court and COSA lacked jurisdiction to continue the state action until jurisdiction was proven on the record?

Failed to grant the Petitioner a hearing on the merits, thus denying the Petitioner due process and equal protection of law?

Failed to remand the case back to the circuit court to be dismissed, because the Respondents lacked standing to file the foreclosure action due to their violations of federal law, divesting the circuit court of subject matter jurisdiction?
