JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
Opinion of the Court
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (hereafter Chase) appeals the Order Denying Chase Home Finance, LLC’s Motion to Vacate Default Final Judgment entered in a foreclosure suit filed by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (hereinafter Wells Fargo).
We agree with Chase that, based on the allegations in Chase’s amended complaint, Wells Fargo knew of Chase’s intent to defend the suit filed by Wells Fargo and that the subsequently entered default judgment, which was entered without notice to Chase, is void.

Accordingly, we reverse the order under review and remand for further proceedings.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
