California Court of Appeal

In a junior lien holder's action against defendant for conducting a nonjudicial foreclosure sale that resulted in excess sale proceeds, judgment in favor of the lien holder is reversed as the comprehensive statutory scheme regarding nonjudicial foreclosures clearly delineates the limited role and duties of a trustee in a nonjudicial foreclosure sale, and those duties do not include the responsibility for searching and finding all possible judgment creditors.
