If the criminal law relates to activities tied to real estate that could result in a money judgment or involuntary sale of the real estate (let's say a crack house), I suppose it is possible depending on the laws of the jurisdiction. Many of these kinds of laws were in fact put in place to give law enforcement recourse against real estate used for purposes of criminal activity.

Who can file a notice of lis pendens?

Preface: The words "lis pendens" are Latin for "lawsuit pending." Lis pendens are filed in actions which affect title to real estate, including foreclosures, boundary line disputes, estates (sometimes), injunctions (sometimes), and other like cases. A lis pendens is filed in the official property records and warns anyone whom it may concern that all persons whomsoever acquiring any interest in the real estate at issue in the lawsuit will take subject to the rights of the Plaintiff in that action. Answer: While anyone can file a lis pendens, the only lis pendens that are valid are those filed out of real estate-related actions, such as the ones I have mentioned. Even these may be vacated (removed) by the court, but the Defendant usually is required to post a surety bond unless the lawsuit was dismissed or a judgment in favor of the Defendant entered.

Can defendant file request for dismissal of lis pendens?

Yes, a defendant can file a request for dismissal of a lis pendens. This legal action is typically initiated through a motion to expunge or dismiss the lis pendens, arguing that the notice is improperly filed or that the underlying lawsuit lacks merit. If the court finds the lis pendens unjustified, it may grant the request and remove the notice, allowing the defendant to proceed without the encumbrance on their property.
