112653P.pdf   08/27/2012  William B. Butler  v.  Bank of America, N.A.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2653
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Melloy, Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - Consumer law. In this "show-me-the-note"action, the
   district court did not err in dismissing the action against a law firm as the
   complaint failed to state a claim; with respect to the bank defendants, the
   district court correctly characterized plaintiff's 16 causes of action as an
   attempt to invalidate the foreclosure of plaintiffs' mortgage on the flawed
   theory that the mortgage and foreclosure are invalid because the entity
   holding the mortgage did not also hold the note, and the court did not err
   in dismissing the action as such a theory is foreclosed by the plain
   language of Minnesota's foreclosure-by-advertisement statute, a
   Minnesota Supreme Court decision and this court's decision in Stein v.
   Chase Home Finance, LLC, 662 F.3d 976 (8th Cir. 2011).
