Glenn Bever v. Quality Loan Service Corp.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Glenn W. Bever and Karen L. Bever appeal pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing their action alleging violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act related to the foreclosure of their home. We have jurisdiction under' 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal on the basis of res judicata. Headwaters, Inc. v. U.S. Forest Serv., 399 F.3d 1047, 1051 (9th Cir. 2005). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed the Bevers’ action as barred by the doctrine of res judicata because the Bevers’ claims arose out of the same transactional nucleus of facts as them claim in a prior federal action between the parties or those in privity that resulted in a final judgment on the merits. See id. at 1052 (elements of res judicata).
We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
