Opinion

No. 06-1911.

Submitted: November 17, 2006.

Filed: December 18, 2006.

Appeal from The United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, Harry F. Barnes, J.

Robert L. Depper, Jr., Depper Law Firm, Eldorado, AR, Donald Richard Jones, Richard Wilensky, Wilensky Jones, Patrick J. Mulligan, Eric N. Roberson, Jason H. Fox, Reid Stewart, Law Offices of Patrick J. Mulligan, Dallas, TX, for appellants.

Elizabeth Robben Murray, Kevin Arlen Crass, Friday Eldredge, Little Rock, AR, Marc D. Sokol, Matthew M. Neumeier, Scott T. Schutte, Jenner Block, Chicago, IL, for appellee.

Before MURPHY, ARNOLD, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.


The plaintiffs appeal a judgment entered against them by the district court in their action under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), 12 U.S.C. § 2605(e). They claimed that RESPA prohibits charging fees for providing mortgagees with payoff statements. We rejected an identical claim in Watt v. GMAC Mortgage Corp., 457 F.3d 781 (2006), and we therefore reject the present claim.

The Honorable Harry F. Barnes, United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.

Affirmed.
