v.

TRAVIS RENE PITRE
         Defendant – Appellant.




                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 3:17-CV-3177


Before REAVLEY, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Travis Pitre appeals the district court’s judgment deciding that Wells
Fargo is the owner of a note and beneficiary of the deed of trust, authorizing
judicial foreclosure for Wells Fargo. The record supports that judgment, and it
is affirmed.



       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                 No. 18-11380
      The note and the deed of trust were executed by Pitre in 2007. He has
been in default since 2011. The loan was assigned by the original lender to an
entity who assigned to Wells Fargo. Pitre filed a bankruptcy petition and the
bankruptcy court acknowledged the validity of the lien, then entitled to
foreclosure by the loan servicer for Wells Fargo.
      Despite that acceptance in the bankruptcy court, Pitre, acting pro se in
the district court, contended that Wells Fargo had no standing. But Wells
Fargo proved its ownership of the loan and the assignment by the deed of trust.
Pitre’s objection is only to say the assignments were “fraudulent” or
“fabricated”. No fact issue was raised, as the magistrate judge found. Pitre
claimed one assignment failed because it was signed in blank, but the note was
transferred and no more was required than what Wells Fargo offered. Other
arguments are waived by failure to be made in the district court.
      AFFIRMED.
