Henry W. McLaughlin, III, LAW OFFICE OF HENRY MCLAUGHLIN, P.C.,
Richmond, Virginia, for Appellant. Joseph R. Pope, J.P. McGuire Boyd, Jr., WILLIAMS
MULLEN, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Lavone Dickson appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to
the plaintiff in its complaint for quiet title to Dickson’s Virginia home. Dickson sought
to invalidate the foreclosure of the property because the cure notice did not explicitly
reference a nonjudicial foreclosure. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
Under Virginia law, “substantial compliance [with foreclosure notices] is
sufficient so long as the rights of the parties are not affected in any material way.” Va.
Hous. Dev. Auth. v. Fox Run Ltd. P’ship,
497 S.E.2d 747, 754 (Va. 1998). We conclude
that the cure notice here substantially complied with the requirements of the mortgage by
informing Dickson of his default and the actions required to cure it. Dickson notes the
mortgage policy rider requiring the lender to follow accepted lending standards, but he
did not establish the standards that were allegedly violated. 38 C.F.R. § 36.4350(a)
(2019). Finally, Dickson did not allege any facts supporting his bare assertions that the
cure notice materially impacted his rights.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Nationstar
Mortg. LLC v. Dickson, No. 2:18-cv-00136-RAJ-RJK (E.D. Va. Nov. 19, 2018). We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
