MEMORANDUM

Plaintiffs-Appellants Mr. and Mrs. Weg-esend assert that there is federal court jurisdiction based on diversity. Diversity jurisdiction requires that the amount in controversy exceed $75,000. 28 U.S.C. § 1332 . The Wegesends contend that the amount in controversy is the value of either the relevant property or the mortgages attached to it, because this case is a quiet title case.

This case is not a quiet title case, however. The complaint did not seek to extinguish the mortgages or any claim to the property based on the mortgage. The litigation, were it to proceed, would at most relieve the Wegesends of their professed uncertainty as to the identity of their lend-

era and the holders of the mortgages on the property. This relief “appear[s] to be intangible, speculative, and lack[s] the capability of being translated into monetary value.” Jackson v. Am. Bar Ass’n, 538 F.2d 829, 831 (9th Cir. 1976) (per curiam) (citations omitted). Even if that relief could be translated into a monetary value, there is no reason to believe the monetary value would exceed $75,000.

Our recent opinion in Corral v. Select Portfolio- Servicing, Inc. provides further guidance. 878 F.3d 770 (9th Cir. 2017). Although “[w]hen a plaintiff seeks to quiet title or permanently enjoin foreclosure, the object of the litigation is the ownership of the property,” that is not the case when “the object of the litigation is only a temporary injunction.” Id. at 776 . In such a circumstance, “the test for determining the amount in controversy is the pecuniary result to either party which the judgment would directly produce.” Id. at 775 (quoting In re Ford Motor Co./Citibank (S. Dakota), N.A., 264 F.3d 952, 958 (9th Cir. 2001)). Central to our reasoning was recognition that “even if Appellants were to succeed on this lawsuit, they would not be able to retain possession and ownership of their Property without paying off their debt.” Id. at 776.

The reasoning in Corral applies here. Even if the Wegesends were successful in their lawsuit, they would still need to pay off the remaining debt. Moreover, the complaint does not allege that the defendants are making competing claims to the mortgage, and “the Defendants agree that there is no dispute as to the roles of each Defendant entity.” Wegesend v. Envision Lending Grp., Inc., No. 13-00493, 2014 WL 1745340 , at *2 (D. Haw. Apr. 30, 2014). Neither the value of the property nor the amount of indebtedness is a proper measure of the harm to the defendants. See Corral, 878 F.3d at 775-76 . As such, the property is not the object of litigation, and the amount in controversy is not greater than $75,000. The requirements for diversity jurisdiction were not met.

AFFIRMED.
