for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Judith B. Klein appeals the district court’s order
granting Defendants’ Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss
her civil action seeking rescission of a secured consumer credit
transaction under the Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”), 15 U.S.C.A.
§§ 1601-1667f (West 2009 & Supp. 2011). We have reviewed the
record and conclude that Klein did not establish how, under an
objective approach, the parties’ arbitration rider rendered
unclear and non-conspicuous Defendants’ disclosure to Klein of
her right to rescind the credit transaction. See Palmer v.
Champion Mortg.,
465 F.3d 24, 28 (1st Cir. 2006) (“[C]ourts must
evaluate the adequacy of TILA disclosures from the vantage point
of a hypothetical average consumer — a consumer who is neither
particularly sophisticated nor particularly dense.”).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Klein v.
Household Realty Corp., No. 1:11-cv-00114-AJT-TCB (E.D. Va. July
15, 2011). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
