PORTLAND, Maine: Federal judge D. Brock Hornby threw out two of three counts in mid-February that had been brought against GMAC Mortgage Co. in a case related to "robo-signing" of documents in foreclosure proceedings.

Brock said that the lawsuit could not proceed on counts related to abuse of process and fraud. However, he allowed a lawsuit to proceed on a count that robo-signing violates Maine's Unfair Trade Practices Act.

Andrea Bopp Stark, the attorney for the Maine residents who filed the lawsuit, said that she expects the lawsuit to proceed on the one remaining count.[1]
