RABBE v. WELLS FARGO HOME MORTGAGE INC (2018)

[Unpublished]

In this removed action, Randolph and Lisa Rabbe appeal after the district court ¹ denied them leave to amend their complaint, and adversely granted judgment on the pleadings. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

This court concludes that the denial of leave to amend was proper, and that the grant of judgment on the pleadings was correct for the reasons stated by the district court. See Popoalii v. Corr. Med. Servs., 512 F.3d 488, 497 (8th Cir. 2008) (court may deny motion to amend when amendment would be futile), Poehl v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 528 F.3d 1093, 1096 (8th Cir. 2008) (grant of judgment on the pleadings reviewed de novo); see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (pleading must contain sufficient facts to state claim that is plausible on its face).

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
