Filing 17

MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER granting 9 Motion to Dismiss. Signed by Judge Ted Stewart on 5/5/2011. (las)

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH
CENTRAL DIVISION

DEWAYNE RUFFELL AND AMY C.
RUFFELL,
Plaintiffs,

MEMORANDUM DECISION AND
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’
MOTION TO DISMISS

vs.

BAC HOME LOANS SERVICING, LP;
MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS,
INC.; SCME MORTGAGE INC.; DOES 110;

Case No. 2:11-CV-25 TS

Defendants.

The Court has before it Defendants BAC Home Loans Servicing, L.P. and Mortgage
Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.’s (collectively, “Defendants”) Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s
Complaint pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6).1 Defendants contend that each of the causes of
action alleged in the Complaint have been repeatedly rejected by this Court and rely upon
meritless misinterpretations of case law and Utah statutes. In response, Plaintiffs admit that this
Court has repeatedly rejected related claims, but argues that the claims raised in Plaintiffs’

1

Docket No. 9.
1

Complaint are distinguishable from these precedents. In reviewing Plaintiffs’ arguments,
however, the Court finds no meaningful distinction between this cause of action and the
numerous actions the Court has previously dismissed. As persuasively demonstrated by
Defendants in their memoranda, the present claims have been considered, and rejected, by this
Court. The Court, therefore, finds no reason to depart from its prior holdings that these claims
fail as a matter of law.
Because Plaintiff has failed to plead a cause of action upon which relief may be granted,
it is therefore
ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Docket No. 9) is GRANTED.
DATED May 5, 2011.
BY THE COURT:
