U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
R. Sorrels v. Northwest Trustee Services Inc, 694 F. App'x 514 (9th Cir. 2017)
Canby, Kozinski, Hawkins

R. Sorrels v. Northwest Trustee Services Inc

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

R. Sorrels appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his diversity action alleging state law claims related to foreclosure proceedings. We review de novo questions of our own jurisdiction. Hunt v. Imperial Merchant Servs., Inc,, 560 F.3d 1137, 1140 (9th Cir. 2009).

Because the foreclosure sale of the property has already been completed, this court cannot grant the relief Sorrels requests and we dismiss the appeal as moot. See Vegas Diamond Props., LLC v. FDIC, 669 F.3d 933, 936 (9th Cir. 2012) (“[T]he sale of the real properties prevents this Court from granting the requested relief and accordingly renders this appeal moot.”); Am. Cas. Co. of Reading, Pa. v. Baker, 22 F.3d 880, 896 (9th Cir. 1994) (a case is moot when there is no longer a present controversy as to which effective relief can be granted).

DISMISSED.
