Dorothy A. Smulley v. Federal Housing Finance Agency, et al.

Is the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) a federal instrumentality under the regulatory oversight and conservatorship of the Federal Home Finance Agency (FHFA)? As a federal instrumentality, is Fannie Mae Form 3140, Paragraph F, subject to due process requirements? Is FHFA as conservator of Fannie Mae, and Fannie Mae as principal in a common-law agency relationship with mortgage servicing financial institutions, subject to vicarious liability as a consequence of misdeeds performed by the mortgage servicers? Should Internal Operating Procedures (lOP) within a Circuit provide for sufficient verification which would assure all necessary indexed electronic documents filed with the court below will be identified and brought to the attention of the Circuit Justices designated for the panel hearing?
