Task: songer_typeiss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the general category of issues discussed in the opinion of the court. Choose among the following categories. Criminal and prisioner petitions- includes appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence or the validity of continued confinement. Civil - Government - these will include appeals from administrative agencies (e.g., OSHA,FDA), the decisions of administrative law judges, or the decisions of independent regulatory agencies (e.g., NLRB, FCC,SEC). The focus in administrative law is usually on procedural principles that apply to administrative agencies as they affect private interests, primarily through rulemaking and adjudication. Tort actions against the government, including petitions by prisoners which challenge the conditions of their confinement or which seek damages for torts committed by prion officials or by police fit in this category. In addition, this category will include suits over taxes and claims for benefits from government. Diversity of Citizenship - civil cases involving disputes between citizens of different states (remember that businesses have state citizenship). These cases will always involve the application of state or local law. If the case is centrally concerned with the application or interpretation of federal law then it is not a diversity case. Civil Disputes - Private - includes all civil cases that do not fit in any of the above categories. The opposing litigants will be individuals, businesses or groups.

PER CURIAM.
Dennis and Eileen Kucera appeal from the district court’s dismissal of their complaint for failure to state a claim. For reversal, the Kuceras allege that their complaint stated violations of the Truth in Lending Act (Act), 15 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq. (1982), by the Citizens Bank & Trust Company (Bank), and Dan B. McNair, an employee of the Bank.
After carefully reviewing the record, we agree that the district court properly dismissed the complaint. The Kuceras’ argument that the Bank violated the general disclosure requirements of the Act is barred by the Act’s one-year period of limitation. 15 U.S.C. § 1640(e). Moreover, all of the loans are exempt from coverage under the Act’s right-of-rescission provision. The right of rescission only applies to loans secured by the debtor’s principal place of residence. 15 U.S.C. § 1635(a). Although the Kuceras alleged that the loans were secured by their principal place of residence, all of the loans show they were secured by a 1978 security agreement, and that they were renewal or refinancing transactions. “[A] transaction which constitutes a refinancing * * * of an existing extension of credit by the same creditor secured by an interest in the same property” is exempt from the right-of-rescission provision. 15 U.S.C. § 1635(e)(1)(B). Therefore, even if the loans were secured by the Kuceras’ principal residence, the seven refinancing transactions are exempt from coverage under the right-of-rescission.
The Kuceras’ complaint also sets forth a variety of additional claims listing numerous federal statutes, state and federal constitutional provisions, and assorted equitable principles as bases of jurisdiction. We have carefully reviewed the complaint and agree with the district court that the additional claims are without merit. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
. The Honorable Warren K. Urbom, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Nebraska.
. Many similar actions brought under the Truth in Lending Act have recently been appealed to this Court. See, e.g., K/O Ranch, Inc. v. Norwest Bank of Black Hills, 748 F.2d 1246 (8th Cir.1984). We find the reasoning of this case applicable and controlling here.
