United States First Circuit

Dismissal of plaintiff's suit challenging defendant-bank's foreclosure of her home is affirmed, where: 1) because legal title to the mortgage remained vested in MERS and not in the noteholder, the intermediary transfers of the note in no way undermined the subsequent assignment of the mortgage from MERS to defendant-bank; 2) the assignment of plaintiff' mortgage from MERS to defendant-bank did not run afoul of Massachusetts law; 3) plaintiff's remaining arguments fail; and 4) the district court did not err in refusing to grant leave to amend.
