INTRODUCTION

Richard Rosenberg (appellant) appeals from a dismissal of his third amended complaint (TAC) after the trial court sustained a demurrer filed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Chase) and California Reconveyance Company (CRC) (collectively respondents).1 On appeal, appellant’s sole claim is that the trial court erred in dismissing his TAC because he stated a cause of action for wrongful foreclosure based on Chase’s failure to communicate with him at least 30 days prior to filing the notice of default as required by Civil Code section 2923.5.2 We disagree and affirm.

1 Respondent Chase notes it was erroneously sued as “Chase Bank, N.A.,” and California Reconveyance Company notes it was erroneously sued as “California Reconveyance Corporation.” 2 All statutory references are to the Civil Code.
