Lofton Burris v. Wells Fargo Bank, Na

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Lofton Burris v. Wells Fargo Bank, Na, 713 F. App'x 576 (9th Cir. 2018)

Lofton Burris v. Wells Fargo Bank, Na

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

This matter has been stayed since February 23, 2017 pending resolution of Ho v. ReconTrust Co., N.A., No. 10-56884, or further order of the court. Defendant Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and Wells Fargo Bank, NA’s motion to lift the stay (Docket Entry No. 30) is granted. We hereby lift the stay.

Lofton Ryan Burris appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging federal and state law claims arising from foreclosure proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal for failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341 (9th Cir. 2010). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Burris’s action because Burris failed to allege facts sufficient to state any plausible claim. See id. at 341-42 (although pro se pleadings are to be construed liberally, a plaintiff must present factual allegations sufficient to state a plausible claim for relief).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by accepting defendants’ motion to dismiss over Burris’s objection that defendants had not complied with Central District of California Local Rule 7-3. See Bias v. Moynihan, 508 F.3d 1212, 1223 (9th Cir. 2007) (standard of review); Christian v. Mattel, Inc., 286 F.3d 1118, 1129 (9th Cir. 2002) (“The district court has considerable latitude in managing the parties’ motion practice and enforcing local rules that place parameters on briefing.”).

We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

AFFIRMED.
