Mejia v. Bank of America Corp. CA2/3
Plaintiff Maria Mejia (Mejia) sued defendants Bank of America, N.A. (Bank of America) and ReconTrust Company, N.A. (ReconTrust) (collectively, defendants) for a variety of claims arising out of the foreclosure and sale of Mejia’s residential property. The trial court granted summary judgment for defendants, concluding that Mejia’s earlier chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding transferred the claims from Mejia to her bankruptcy estate by operation of law, and thus Mejia lacked standing to pursue the claims. On appeal, Mejia contends she had standing to sue defendants, the trial court was precluded by our opinion in Mejia’s prior appeal from granting summary judgment for defendants, and she should have been permitted to amend her complaint. We conclude summary judgment was properly granted and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying leave to amend the complaint. We therefore will affirm the judgment.
