United States First Circuit
Giuffre v. Deutsche Bank National Trust Co., 13-2222
Dismissal of plaintiff's action alleging that he fell victim to a fraudulent "foreclosure rescue" scheme in which he allowed an attorney to take title to his home and strip it of most or all of its equity by granting a new mortgage is affirmed, where: 1) plaintiff's appeal is timely; but 2) there is no basis in plaintiff's pleadings to hold the defendant-bank responsible for the harm the attorney inflicted on him; and 3) the district court properly denied plaintiff's motion for leave to amend his complaint.
