Anooshavan Sarkisian v. Countrywide Home Loans

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Anooshavan and Roobina Sarkisian appeal pro se from the district court’s order dismissing their action seeking relief from foreclosure on their residence under various federal statutes. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We may affirm on any ground supported by the record. ACLU of Nev. v. City of Las Vegas, 333 F.3d 1092, 1097 (9th Cir. 2003). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed the Sarkisians’ action, which was barred by the doctrine of res judicata because it arose from the same “transactional nucleus of fact,” namely the Sarkisians’ loss of specified real property, as their earlier state court action. See U.S. ex rel. Barajas v. Northrop Corp., 147 F.3d 905, 910 (9th Cir. 1998) (res judicata barred a claim where an earlier judgment had resolved a different but related claim).

AFFIRMED.
