MEMORANDUM*
Johnson appeals the district court's ruling that defendant's letter of June 24, 1991, didn't amount to an actionable misrepresentation under Wash.Rev.Code § 21.20.010. In making a case under section 21.20.010, the investor must prove reliance on the misrepresentations. Hines v. Data Line Sys., 787 P.2d 8, 12 (Wash. 1990). The district court found that Johnson didn't rely on the June 24, 1991 letter. This finding was supported by plaintiff's own testimony:
Q. [Riviera's atty.] Isn't it true, Mr. Johnson, that you didn't rely on anything in particular in [the June 24, 1991] letter, that you just relied upon what Ms. Riviera told you?
A. [Johnson] Yeah, that's right.
RT 31. The district court's judgment is therefore
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3
