NO, it appears the court did not provide notice but approved an order granting the bank's MSJ. Low and behold, discovered the "newly elected judge" is a former foreclosure attorney! What a farce. I was shocked once I digested that they had tried to sell the house from underneath of me without notice! This alleged motion was requesting an additional 30 days to sell the property, which was not digestible on first glance. This whole event was an effective denial of appeal where appeal court has strict 30 day timeline. Very crafty deception. Yeah, I have an idea on how to address this in spite of the shock.
Appeal anyway. If the court never provided you timely notice, then you should file one anyway and state that the court waited this long to issue its decision. You cannot be expected to know what the court never tells you.
Before you do that, I'd submit a request for written reasons for the ruling. In many states, on MSJ, they must either state their reasons for ruling on the record orally or issue written reasons. Also, you might consider something like a writ of mandamus if your state civil procedure allows. A writ of mandamus is basically you asking the appeals court to order the trial court to do what it was supposed to do, but did not do. When you filed your objections to their amendment, the court had a duty to consider and rule on that. The court should not be able to simply ignore filings with not so much as a word like that. It's interesting that you're dealing with this exact set of issues because courts are usually more about procedure being correctly followed than that--you could have all the evidence in the world but if you dont follow procedure, you lose anyway because you didn't follow procedure. That's what I have seen anyway. Most people, IME, that fight and lose, lose because they didnt know and follow civil procedure. This is different though, they appear to be simply ignoring requirements of procedure to rule against you.
How did you learn of the order granting MSJ? Is there a date on that approval? That could help you on the appeal, because if it shows that the court waited all that time to rule, then your appeal clock starts when that ruling is made and noticed, not when the hearing was held. Generally, the clock starts when you're notified of the judgment in writing. The usual exception to this is when the judge rules at the hearing orally, then your 30 day clock begins then.
Rereading your last post, it appears you may have multiple issues to address. For example, if they tried to conduct a sale without noticing you at all, that's a problem too.
