Plaintiffs,

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.,
Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING RECOMMENDATION OF
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Blackburn, J.
This matter is before me on (1) the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’
First Amended Complaint Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) [#18]1 filed January
28, 2013; and (2) the corresponding Recommendation of United States Magistrate
Judge [#23] filed June 20, 2013. I approve and adopt the recommendation and grant
the motion to dismiss.
No objections to the recommendation were filed. Thus, I review it only for plain
error. See Morales-Fernandez v. Immigration & Naturalization Service, 418 F.3d
1116, 1122 (10th Cir. 2005).2
In their complaint, the plaintiffs claim the defendant wrongfully caused the

foreclosure sale of the plaintiffs’ property while the defendant and its agents continued
to give the plaintiffs reason to believe the loan on plaintiffs’ property was being reviewed
for a loan modification. As detailed in the recommendation [#18], the plaintiffs’
allegations do not state any claim on which relief can be granted. As a result, the
plaintiff’s complaint must be dismissed. The plaintiffs already have amended their
complaint once, and they have not sought to file another amended complaint. Thus, I
conclude that this case should be dismissed and closed.
The conclusions and recommendation of the magistrate judge are correct.
Finding no error, much less plain error, in the disposition recommended by the
magistrate judge, I find and conclude that the recommendation should be approved and
adopted as an order of this court.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#23] filed
June 20, 2013, is APPROVED and ADOPTED as an order of this court;
2. That the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ First Amended
Complaint Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) [#18] filed January 28, 2013, is
GRANTED;
3. That under FED. R. CIV. P. 12(b)(6), the plaintiffs’ amended complaint [#14] is
DISMISSED without prejudice;
4. That judgment SHALL ENTER in favor of the defendant, Bank of America NA,
against the plaintiffs, Robert S. Olds, and Bonnie L. Olds, jointly and severally, on all
claims for relief and causes of action asserted in this case;
5. That the defendant is AWARDED its costs to be taxed by the clerk of the
court in the time and manner prescribed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d)(1) and

6. That this case is CLOSED.
Dated September 11, 2013, at Denver, Colorado.
