                                    ____________________

       ARTHUR I. HARRIS, Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Judge. After reviewing the record and
the parties’ briefs, the Panel determines that the bankruptcy court did not err in granting summary
judgment against the trustee and in favor of BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP. We therefore affirm
for the reasons stated in the bankruptcy court’s well-written opinion entered on March 23, 2011,
Rhiel v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, (In re Foster), 448 B.R. 914 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio 2011), and
for the reasons stated in the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s opinion entered on June 24, 2011, Rogan
v. Fifth Third Mortgage Co., (In re Rowe), 452 B.R. 591 (B.A.P. 6th Cir. 2011) (analyzing a similar
issue under Kentucky law).
