Broward Circuit Judge Eileen O’Connor cleared the way Thursday for a state attorney general’s office subpoena to obtain foreclosure records from the Law Offices of David J. Stern in Plantation, which has filed foreclosures with the courts by the thousands for the nation’s biggest lenders.

O’Connor’stwo-paragraph ruling offered no comment or insight into her legal reasoning but authorized the subpoena under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
