Rick Slorp v. Lerner, Sampson & Rothfuss
Opinion
Plaintiff-appellant Rick Slorp appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment for defendants. Slorp filed a complaint against defendants Lerner, Sampson & Rothfuss (a law firm), Bank of America, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, claiming that defendants attempted to fraudulently foreclose on his home. Previously, after dismissing much of Slorp’s *906 complaint, we remanded this matter to the district court for consideration of one remaining count — namely, a civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act claim, predicated on allegations of mail and wire fraud. Slorp v. Lerner, Sampson & Rothfuss, 587 Fed.Appx. 249, 264-66 (6th Cir. 2014). We cautioned, however, that Slorp’s claim would “vanish” if defendant Bank of America was found to be a legitimate mortgagee. Id. at 264. The district court found Bank of America was a legitimate mortgagee, and we agree with its reasoning and result. For the reasons set forth in the district court’s opinion, we affirm the grant of summary judgment for defendants.
