Defendant-Appellee.

(August 8, 2017)
Before TJOFLAT, JORDAN, and ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 16-16353 Date Filed: 08/08/2017 Page: 2 of 10
David Mejia brought this case in the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County,
Florida, by filing a two-count complaint. Count I alleged that Ocwen Loan
Servicing, LLC (“Ocwen”), did not provide an adequate response to Korte &

statutory damages and attorney’s fees.
Ocwen removed the case to the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Florida, and moved to dismiss it for failure to state a claim for relief.

from Mejia’s counsel as to why Ocwen’s motion should not be granted. In a
comprehensive through-going order, the Court granted Ocwen’s motion to dismiss.
Mejia appeals, arguing that the District Court erred in holding that Ocwen,
as servicer, was not obligated to provide a phone number for the owner of the loan.
We find no merit in the argument, and accordingly affirm for the reasons stated in
the District Court’s dispositive order. Because we anticipate that Mejia’s claims
