FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-20709

Summary Calendar

ELIZABETH CALLAN, 

 Plaintiff - Appellant

v.

DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, As Trustee for the 

Certificateholders of Dover Mortgage Capital 2005-a Corporation, Grantor 

Trust Certificate, Series 2005-A, 

 Defendant - Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:13-CV-247

Before KING, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Elizabeth Callan appeals the district court’s denial of her motion to alter 

or amend a judgment under Rule 59(e). The challenged order of March 21, 2015

declared only that Deutsche Bank’s lien and power of sale over Callan’s 

residential property were not barred by the statute of limitations. Both parties 

 

* 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.

now agree that the same lien was released and discharged by the mortgage 

servicer on November 26, 2014. Because the lien that was the subject of the 

challenged order no longer exists, neither party has a “personal stake in the 

outcome” of any additional litigation on this issue. Lewis v. Cont’l Bank Corp., 

494 U.S. 472, 478 (1990). We find no case or controversy to address, so this 

appeal is DISMISSED as moot.
