Court of Special Appeals of Maryland December 10, 1986, 929, September Term, 1986 (Voge v. Olin)

BLOOM, Judge.

In this expedited appeal, Bruce H. Voge, Jr., the appellant, raises a single issue: Does the doctrine of

custodia legis

preclude a circuit court from acting on a petition to foreclose a mortgage on certain real property when a petition to foreclose the equity of redemption had been filed previously in the same court by one who had purchased the property at a tax sale?
