The sale will be conducted subject (1) to confirmation that the sale is not prohibited under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (2) to final confirmation and audit of the status of the loan with the holder of the Deed of Trust, and (3) to confirmation that the successful bidder has timely provided to the Substitute Trustee all information required by the Rule, 89 FR 70258, if applicable.
