William Hunt v. Wells Fargo Bank, Na

MEMORANDUM

William Paige Hunt appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action arising from foreclosure proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo. Knievel v. ESPN, 393 F.3d 1068, 1072 (9th Cir.2005). We may affirm on any ground supported by the record, Thompson v. Paul, 547 F.3d 1055, 1058-59 (9th Cir.2008), and we affirm.

Dismissal of Hunt’s quiet title claim was proper because Wells Fargo Bank, NA had statutory authority to initiate nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings. See Cal. Civ. Code § 2924 (a)(1); Gomes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 192 Cal.App.4th 1149 , 121 Cal.Rptr.3d 819, 823-24 (2011) (Cal. Civ.Code § 2924(a)(1) does not “provide for a judicial action to determine whether the person initiating the foreclosure process is indeed authorized”). Moreover, Hunt’s contentions that the nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings violated his due process and jury trial rights are unpersuasive. See Apao v. Bank of N.Y., 324 F.3d 1091 , 1094-95 (9th Cir.2003) (nonjudicial foreclosure was not state action and therefore did not implicate due process); Garfinkle v. Superior Court, 21 Cal.3d 268 , 146 Cal.Rptr. 208 , 578 P.2d 925…
