1Opinion of the Court

OPINION MERRITT, Circuit Judge.

This case presents another appeal from a home foreclosure in Michigan. Plaintiffs raise one issue on appeal: Whether the district court erred in dismissing plaintiffs’ due process claim because it found that the Federal National Mortgage Association,1 commonly referred to as Fannie Mae, was not a state actor for constitutional purposes when it foreclosed upon their home? We affirm the district court’s judgment dismissing the due process claim as without merit, but on the ground that the Michigan foreclosure procedure does not violate due process.
