The first issue is whether the Courtshould grant Defendant Flagstar's Motion to Dismiss with regard to Plaintiffs claims under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and Real Estate and Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) when (1) the loan closed on December 21, 2007, and (2) the claims were not filed until March 30,2011. The Court grants Defendant's Motion in regard to TILA and RESPA because Plaintiffs claims are barred by the one-year statute of limitations under both TILA and RESPA. The statutes of limitation began to run when Plaintiffs loan closed on December 21,2007, and the statutes of limitation for such claims expired on December 21,2008. The second issue is whether the Court should grant Defendant Flagstar's Motion to Dismiss with regard to Plaintiffs remaining state law claims when the claims arise out of the origination and servicing of her mortgage. The Court grants Defendant's Motion with regard to Plaintiffs remaining state law claims because Plaintiffs claims against Flagstar are preempted 1
