(October 1, 2018, 2:24 PM EDT) -- NEW ORLEANS— A woman’s attempt to revive her lawsuit against the Federal National Mortgage Association, also known as Fannie Mae, was rejected Sept. 4 by a Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel that found that she did not sufficiently state a claim under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) because she did not allege a violation in her initial complaint and because the information in her petition did not put Fannie Mae on notice of a potential claim (Angela B. Putty v. Federal National Mortgage Association, No. 17-11404, 5th Cir., 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 25076)....
