California State Automobile Association Inter-Insurance Bureau v. Gong

Plaintiff Steven M. Whitman was the purchaser at a trustees sale foreclosing a first deed of trust on real property. Defendant Transtate Title Company, the trustee, refused to issue plaintiff a trustees deed, asserting the sale was either incomplete or void. Plaintiff instituted this action for quiet title, specific performance, breach of contract and injunctive and declaratory relief. A summary judgment was granted in favor of the defendants, and plaintiffs own motion for summary judgment was denied. Plaintiff appeals, contending his motion for summary judgment should have been granted or, in the alternative, that there are at least triable issues of fact which require reversal of the summary judgment granted in favor of defendants. We affirm.
