Facts

On Oct. 24, 2005, plaintiffs obtained a home mortgage loan in the amount of $799,200 secured by a deed of trust (the First DOT) on plaintiffs' Rancho Cucamonga residence. In October 2013, defendant recorded a notice of default and initiated foreclosure efforts. Plaintiffs moved to quiet title and to quash foreclosure efforts.

Contentions

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS: Plaintiffs contended that defendant's deed of trust was void because it was fraudulently obtained by an assignment based on robo-signing.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS: Defendant contended that its assignment procedures were legal. Defendant contended that plaintiff's complaint lacked merit.

Result

The court dismissed plaintiff's action without leave to amend.
