IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-50692

Summary Calendar

TRAVIS R. PHILLIPS, 

Plaintiff - Appellant

v.

JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.,

Defendant - Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. 1:16-CV-287

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

For the fifth time, Travis Phillips (“Phillips”) filed suit in an effort to 

block foreclosure on his home by the lender, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. 

(“Chase”). After taking judicial notice of materials from the fourth lawsuit, the 

district court granted Chase’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. On 

appeal, Phillips challenges only the district court’s adverse decision on 

Phillips’s claim that the attempted foreclosure is untimely. 

 

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 16-50692

2

In the district court, Phillips argued that Chase previously accelerated 

the debt in question and then failed to foreclose within the relevant limitations 

period. Chase argued, and the district court agreed, that its April 11, 2014 

letter represented an abandonment of the earlier acceleration and that 

Phillips’s efforts to distinguish relevant precedents are unavailing. We agree 

with the district court. See Boren v. U.S. Nat’l Bank Assoc., 807 F.3d 99, 106 

(5th Cir. 2015).

AFFIRMED.
