Before HULL, WILSON and ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Case: 13-11487 Date Filed: 10/07/2016 Page: 1 of 4 
2

Appellant Titan Construction Company, LLC (“Titan”) appeals the district 

court’s order denying its motion for summary judgment and granting CBC 

National Bank’s (“CBC”) motion for summary judgment. Through a series of 

loans and security deeds, Titan borrowed over $6,000,000 from CBC. Titan 

defaulted on the loans. CBC then foreclosed on several of the properties on July 7, 

2009. CBC was the high bidder for each of those properties at the foreclosure sale 

with credit bids totaling $3,266,738.18. That total bid represented the outstanding 

principal owed by Titan on each of the foreclosed properties plus CBC’s incurred 

expenses, but not interest, attorney’s fees, or late fees. Titan concedes that its 

indebtedness to CBC exceeded $3,266,738.18 on July 7, 2009.

After the foreclosure, CBC discovered that the legal descriptions of the 

properties in the deeds were inadequate. CBC then foreclosed again on December 

1, 2009. CBC again extended credit bids totaling $3,266,738.18 and was again the 

high bidder.

Titan then sued CBC in state court for unjust enrichment and conversion, 

alleging that CBC received excess money because there were two foreclosures of 

Titan’s property. Titan added the amounts of CBC’s credit bids, over three million 

dollars from each foreclosure sale, together to determine the total amount received 

by CBC was over $6,000,000. Titan claimed that it was entitled to the amount

received by CBC from the two foreclosures that exceeded the principal outstanding 

on the loans.

After review of the record and briefs, we conclude that Titan has not shown 

reversible error in the district court’s grant of summary judgment to CBC and 

denial of summary judgment to Titan. Titan alleged that the first foreclosure sale 

satisfied its debts on those properties, making the second foreclosure a conversion 

and an unjust enrichment because CBC did not pay the excess amount received to 

Titan.

In reality, however, the first foreclosure was invalid, and CBC thus received 

no value from the foreclosure. The district court did not err in concluding that (1) 

the inadequate legal descriptions of the property prevented title to the property 

from passing to CBC; (2) CBC never acquired title from the invalid foreclosure 

because of the inadequate legal descriptions; and (3) CBC was within its rights to 

conduct a second, valid foreclosure. Even on appeal, Titan does not contest that

the July 7, 2009 foreclosure was invalid or argue that the legal descriptions of the 

property were adequate.

Because the first foreclosure was invalid, CBC received no value from that 

transaction and title to the property only passed to CBC once. CBC received no

excess benefit, was not unjustly enriched, and did not convert any funds due to 

Titan.1

AFFIRMED.

Additionally, we note that the jurisdictional issues in this case were resolved on remand to the 

district court.
