                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:13-CV-154

Before WIENER, OWEN, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Plaintiffs-Appellants Grant and Clare Trevarthen, husband and wife,
appeal the Rule §12(b)(6) dismissal with prejudice of their suit against

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 13-50458      Document: 00512490773    Page: 2   Date Filed: 01/07/2014

                                  No. 13-50458
Defendants-Appellees. This action, originally filed in state court and removed
therefrom, involved the foreclosure on their residence in Cedar Park, Texas.
We affirm.

        Like the district court before us, we have reviewed the Motion to Dismiss
filed by Defendants-Appellants, the response of the Trevarthens, and the reply
thereto of Defendants-Appellants, as well as the appellate briefs of the parties
and the record on appeal. As a result, we are satisfied that the district court
nailed this one precisely in the concluding paragraph of its Order of April 26,
2013.    After noting that this is “not the first time Grant Trevarthen has
appeared before this Court in frivolous foreclosure litigation” and after
identifying prior cases of that ilk, the court concluded that “the spurious
allegations and baseless causes of action asserted indicate this suit is simply
more legal gamesmanship by the Trevarthans in their ongoing campaign to
abuse the legal system and win a free house.” We agree, adding only that the
instant appeal is equally spurious and contumacious.

AFFIRMED.
