    paragraph_quote: a. Pre-endorsement Review (03/14/2016) The Mortgagee must complete
      a pre-endorsement review of the mortgage file to ensure all applicable documents
      as described in the Uniform Case Binder Stacking Order are included in the endorsement
      submission. The Mortgagee must exercise due diligence in performing its pre-endorsement
      responsibilities. This review must be conducted by staff not involved in the
      originating, processing, or underwriting of the Mortgage. The case binder must
      contain all documentation relied upon by the Mortgagee to justify its decision
      to approve the Mortgage.
  judgment: false
