PER CURIAM:
Ann R. Rupli appeals the district court’s order
dismissing her action asserting quiet title and fraud claims
against Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (“MERS”),
which MERS had removed to federal court on diversity grounds.
Having thoroughly reviewed the record, the parties’ contentions,
and the applicable law, we find no reversible error in the
dismissal of Rupli’s action. In particular, we conclude, first,
that Anderson v. Burson, 35 A.3d 452 (Md. 2011), supports the
outcome reached by the district court on Rupli’s quiet title
claim, and second, that the district court correctly found that
Rupli failed to supply the requisite specificity to permit her
fraud claim against MERS to proceed.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district
court. Because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court, we grant Rupli’s
motion to submit the appeal for decision on the briefs. We
further deny as moot her earlier filed motion to continue oral
argument.
AFFIRMED
