1Opinion of the CourtRodowsky, J.
This matter comes to us from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland under the Maryland Uniform Certification of Questions of Law Act. 1 It arises on a motion to dismiss a complaint. In essence we are asked whether, under Maryland law, a mortgage lender whose loan is for construction or repair purposes and who obtains lien priority by subordination, thereby owes a duty to the subordinating lienor to exercise care that the borrower applies the loan proceeds to the intended purposes of the loan. On the facts alleged, our answer is "no.”
