KELLY, Circuit Judge.

Michael Johnson is a homeowner attempting to save his. home from foreclosure. Johnson alleges that the mortgage trust that claims to hold his mortgage was not validly assigned the mortgage, and therefore, his mortgage may not be foreclosed by the trust. Wells Fargo, acting as trustee for the mortgage trust, moved for summary judgment. The district court 1 granted summary judgment in favor of Wells Fargo, finding the assignment to the mortgage trust was valid. We affirm.
