• holding that an assignment executed by a person purporting to act pursuant to her authority as a vice president of an entity was binding on that entity
• holding that plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge a mortgage assignment executed by a person with purported authority because the assignment was binding on the assignor and therefore at most voidable

• noting that a court addressing a Rule 12(b)(6) motion must “view the [c]omplaint in the light most favorable” to the non-moving party
• finding that vice president of MERS could assign a mortgage because she purported to execute the assignment pursuant to her authority as vice president
