SUMMARY ORDER

Rulings by summary order do not have precedential effect. Citation to a summary order filed on or after January 1, 2007, is permitted and is governed by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 32.1 and this Court's Local Rule 32.1.1. When citing a summary order in a document filed with this Court, a party must cite either the Federal Appendix or an electronic database (with the notation "summary order"). A party citing a summary order must serve a copy of it on any party not represented by counsel.

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court be, and hereby is, AFFIRMED.

Plaintiff-Appellant James Costello ("Costello"), proceeding pro se, brought this action against several banking and mortgage entities related to the attempted foreclosure of his property. Costello sought declaratory orders, injunctive relief, and damages from various defendants, as well as sanctions against one of the defendants' attorneys. The District Court dismissed the complaint under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6), and the motion for sanctions for failure to comply with Rule 11(c)(2). Costello now appeals. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal.

After reviewing the whole record, we conclude that the District Court properly dismissed the complaint. We affirm for substantially the reasons given by the District Court in its thorough Ruling and Order. Costello v. Wells Fargo Bank Nat'l Ass'n, No. 16-cv-1706 (VAB) 2017 WL 3262157 (D. Conn. July 31, 2017).1

CONCLUSION

We have reviewed all of the arguments raised by Costello on appeal and find them to be without merit. The August 11, 2017 judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.
