SMITH, Circuit Judge.
Roger Hartman, and Mavis a married couple, (collectively, Hartmans”) “the their daughter, (col- Hartman, lectively, plaintiffs”) “the filed suit seeking damages and rescission under TILA and asserting various state law against claims persons and entities involved in transac- tions to the financing related of an addition to a house property. The district court granted summary judgment to de- fendants on the claim, TILA rescission dismissed claims, several other and then held a trial jury on the rest. The jury found for the defendants on all remaining claims, and the court judgment entered favor of the defendants.
now appeal, arguing that the district court erred in granting summary judgment and in dismissing various claims before trial. Defendant Security (“Prime”) Bank cross-appeals, arguing court erred finding the plaintiffs’ notice was sufficient to exercise the TILA statutory right of rescission. We reverse on the issue, but otherwise affirm judg- ment of the district court.
