Defendants with a right of redemption of plaintiff's lien are hereby notified of the following: (a) if plaintiff's lien is not redeemed, or you do not elect to have this action brought to sheriff's sale, you are at risk to lose your equity in the Property; (b) the potential loss of equity in the Propertyis a valid basis to contest this matter; and (c) You have the right to request a sheriff's sale which would then require any surplus beyond the amount owed to plaintiff to be deposited with the Superior Court Trust Fund. You must be guided accordingly. In addition to those rights, you hereby provided notice that you can request to either Plaintiff's Attorney Robert A. Del Vecchio, Esq., 405 Lafayette Avenue, Hawthorne, New Jersey 07506 or to the above Court, that you want this matter to be sent to Sheriff Sale if it is your position that upon the proofs there will be surplus equity remaining in the subject Property, per Tyler v. Hennepin County, 598 U.S. 631 (2025), which you might withdraw at a subsequent time upon application to the Court and to the Sheriff. If there is no such surplus equity, or if you do not timely request such Sheriff Sale, then the Foreclosure will continue as a Strict Foreclosure and, as per above, upon entry of Final Judgment Title to the Property shall vest in the Plaintiff. Defendants with a right of redemption of plaintiff's lien are hereby notified of the following: (a) if plaintiff's lien is not redeemed, or you do not elect to have this action brought to sheriff's sale, you are at risk to lose your equity in the Property; (b) the potential loss of equity in the Property is a valid basis to contest this matter; (c) You have the right to request a sheriff's sale which would then require any surplus beyond the amount owed to plaintiff to be deposited with the Superior Court Trust Fund.
