See Wells Fargo Defendants' Excerpts of Record ("ER") Prior to the district court's order granting MidSouth's motion, the Nationstar Defendants filed their own motion to dismiss the complaint on grounds similar to those raised by MidSouth.

The Nationstar Defendants respectfully submit that the district court's orders should be affirmed in their entirety for the reasons stated in the Wells Fargo Defendants' and the Bank of America Defendants' answering briefs.
