1Opinion of the Court
HOWARD, Circuit Judge.
Claiming uncertainty as to which entity holds an enforceable mortgage on their home, Deborah Lister and Leon Blais filed suit against numerous potential mortgag ees. 1 The district court subsequently granted defendants’ motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim. See Lister v. Bank of America, N.A., 8 F.Supp.3d 74 (D.R.I.2014). Lister and Blais timely appealed, asserting several claims of error. We affirm the dismissal, although for different reasons than those offered by the district court.
