Judge: 357 idle foreclosure suits gone in 2 1/2 hours

MANATEE — The foreclosure case was filed in March 2007. Within a month, all of the parties were served with copies of the suit.
Then, nothing.
No reply from the homeowner. No filings nor hearings set by the bank’s attorney.
The court case sat idle for the next 3 1/2 years, seemingly forgotten among the thousands of foreclosures clogging the legal system.
That was until Thursday, when Manatee County Circuit Court Judge Paul E. Logan dismissed it for inactivity.
