Before MURPHY, SHEPHERD, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.
In these two similar cases, appellants are homeowners represented by attorney
William Butler appealing the dismissal of their claims against their mortgage banks
and the denial of their motions to remand to state court. We find no error in either
case. See, e.g., Welk v. Ally Financial, Inc., No. 12-3141, __ F.3d __ (8th Cir. July
15, 2013), 2013 WL 3491049. Accordingly, we affirm the orders of the district court. 1
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

1The Honorable John R. Tunheim, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Tony N.
Leung, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota (No. 12-3219),
and the Honorable Janie S. Mayeron, United States Magistrate Judge for the District
of Minnesota (No. 12-3592).
