United States Eleventh Circuit

Trust beneficiaries lack standing to replace US Bank, the trust fiduciary, as the plaintiff pursuing their lapsed security interest claims against third parties; claims against US bank are unripe and must await the outcome of the action filed by US Bank on their behalf. Motion for class certification was properly denied.
