Plaintiff,
v.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
WESTERN PROGRESSIVE, LLC, and
OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC,
Defendants.
18
19
Through the present lawsuit, Plaintiff Dan Hansen (“Plaintiff”) seeks to prevent
20
Defendants Western Progressive LLC (“Western”) and Ocwen Loan Servicing (“Ocwen”)
21
from foreclosing on his residence located at 913 Baker Hill Way, Rocklin, California
22
(“Property”). Plaintiff alleges that Defendants have not adequately demonstrated their
23
right to foreclose on the Property. To that end, he asserts a federal claim for violation of
24
the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681, et seq., as well as state law causes of
25
action for violation of the Homeowner’s Bill of Rights, California Civil Code § 2924.17,
26
and for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation. Presently before the Court
27
is Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint, brought pursuant
28
to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), for failure to state a claim upon which relief
1
1
can be granted.1 For the reasons set forth below, Defendants’ Motion is GRANTED and
2
Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint is DISMISSED without leave to amend.2

BACKGROUND
5
6
Plaintiff purchased the Property with a mortgage loan in the amount of
7
$576,000.00 obtained from WMC Mortgage Corp. (“WMC”). Defs.’ Request for Judicial
8
Notice (“RJN”), Ex. A.3 On June 5, 2006, a Deed of Trust was recorded listing
9
Westwood Associates as the trustee and the Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems,
10
11
Inc. (“MERS”) as the beneficiary. Id.
On January 25, 2009, MERS recorded an Assignment of Plaintiff’s Deed of Trust
12
which transferred WMC’s beneficial interest in the Deed of Trust to the Bank of New
13
York Mellon f/k/a/ the Bank of New York (“Mellon”) as trustee for the holders of the GE-
14
WMC Asset-Backed Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1. Id. at Ex. B. Thereafter,
15
in 2009, Mellon recorded a Substitution of Trustee appointing Quality Loan Service
16
Corporation as Trustee of Plaintiff’s Deed of Trust. Five years later, in 2014, Mellon
17
recorded another Substitution of Trustee in favor of Defendant Western. Defendant
18
Ocwen’s sole involvement in the handling of Plaintiff’s loan stems from its role as
19
Mellon’s loan servicer.

All further references to “Rule” or “Rules” are to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure unless
otherwise noted.

Having determined that oral argument would not be of material assistance, this Motion was
submitted on the briefs in accordance with Local Rule 230(g).
3
Defendants’ RJN includes various documents related to the Property, including, inter alia, the
Deed of Trust, Assignment of the Deed of Trust, and various documents pertaining to Plaintiff’s’ loan and
subsequent default. All the documents which the Court is being asked to judicially notice were filed and
recorded in Placer County, where the Property is located. As such, the Court can take judicial notice of
the documents as public records. See Fed. R. Evid. 201; Botelho v. U.S. Bank, N.A., 692 F. Supp. 2d
1174, 1178 (N.D. Cal. 2010); Allen v. United Fin. Mortg. Corp., 660 F. Supp. 2d 1089, 1093-94 (N.D. Cal.
2009). Defendants’ request is therefore GRANTED and Plaintiff’s objections to the request are overruled.
Despite Plaintiff’s apparent argument to the contrary, well-settled law provides that “[f]acts subject to
judicial notice may be considered in a motion to dismiss.” Mullis v. U.S. Bankr. Ct., 828 F.2d 1385, 1388
(9th Cir. 1987).
2
1
Western recorded a Notice of Default on the Property on October 14, 2014, which
2
indicated Plaintiff’s arrears totaled $77,976.87 as of October 1 of that year. Thereafter,
3
on June 22, 2015, a Notice of Trustee’s Sale was recorded, also by Western, which
4
reported Plaintiff’s total unpaid balance on the mortgage as $615,845.08. Id. at Ex. H.
5
According to that Notice, the sale of the Property was scheduled for July 23, 2015.
6
Plaintiff filed the instant lawsuit in this Court on July 6, 2015, arguing that
7
Defendants have not demonstrated their right to foreclose. By Stipulation and Order
8
filed August 19, 2015, the parties agreed to stay their legal proceedings, including the
9
pending foreclosure, until November 13, 2015. Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss,
10
pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted on
11
November 23, 2015, which this Court GRANTED with leave to amend on August 10,
12
2016. Plaintiffs filed the First Amended Complaint on August 29, 2016, and Defendants
13
filed the present Motion on September 15, 2016. There is no indication that foreclosure
14
proceedings against the Property have resumed.
15
16
STANDARD
17
18
On a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil
19
Procedure 12(b)(6), all allegations of material fact must be accepted as true and
20
construed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party. Cahill v. Liberty Mut. Ins.
21
Co., 80 F.3d 336, 337-38 (9th Cir. 1996). Rule 8(a)(2) “requires only ‘a short and plain
22
statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief’ in order to ‘give the
23
defendant fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.’” Bell
24
Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (quoting Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41,
25
47 (1957)). A complaint attacked by a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss does not require
26
detailed factual allegations. However, “a plaintiff's obligation to provide the grounds of
27
his entitlement to relief requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic
28
recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do.” Id. (internal citations and
3
1
quotations omitted). A court is not required to accept as true a “legal conclusion
2
couched as a factual allegation.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting
3
Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555). “Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief
4
above the speculative level.” Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555 (citing 5 Charles Alan Wright &
5
Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1216 (3d ed. 2004) (stating that the
6
pleading must contain something more than “a statement of facts that merely creates a
7
suspicion [of] a legally cognizable right of action”)).
8
Furthermore, “Rule 8(a)(2) . . . requires a showing, rather than a blanket
9
assertion, of entitlement to relief.” Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555 n.3 (internal citations and
10
quotations omitted). Thus, “[w]ithout some factual allegation in the complaint, it is hard
11
to see how a claimant could satisfy the requirements of providing not only ‘fair notice’ of
12
the nature of the claim, but also ‘grounds' on which the claim rests.” Id. (citing Wright &
13
Miller, supra, at 94, 95). A pleading must contain “only enough facts to state a claim to
14
relief that is plausible on its face.” Id. at 570. If the “plaintiffs . . . have not nudged their
15
claims across the line from conceivable to plausible, their complaint must be dismissed.”
16
Id. However, “[a] well-pleaded complaint may proceed even if it strikes a savvy judge
17
that actual proof of those facts is improbable, and ‘that a recovery is very remote and
18
unlikely.’” Id. at 556 (quoting Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 236 (1974)).
19
A court granting a motion to dismiss a complaint must then decide whether to
20
grant leave to amend. Leave to amend should be “freely given” where there is no
21
“undue delay, bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, . . . undue prejudice
22
to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment, [or] futility of the
23
amendment . . . .” Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182 (1962); Eminence Capital, LLC v.
24
Aspeon, Inc., 316 F.3d 1048, 1052 (9th Cir. 2003) (listing the Foman factors as those to
25
be considered when deciding whether to grant leave to amend). Not all of these factors
26
merit equal weight. Rather, “the consideration of prejudice to the opposing party . . .
27
carries the greatest weight.” Id. (citing DCD Programs, Ltd. v. Leighton, 833 F.2d 183,
28
185 (9th Cir. 1987)). Dismissal without leave to amend is proper only if it is clear that
4
1
“the complaint could not be saved by any amendment.” Intri-Plex Techs. v. Crest Group,
2
Inc., 499 F.3d 1048, 1056 (9th Cir. 2007) (citing In re Daou Sys., Inc., 411 F.3d 1006,
3
1013 (9th Cir. 2005); Ascon Props., Inc. v. Mobil Oil Co., 866 F.2d 1149, 1160 (9th Cir.
4
1989) (“Leave need not be granted where the amendment of the complaint . . .
5
constitutes an exercise in futility . . . .”)).

ANALYSIS
8
9
Plaintiff made superficial amendments in the First Amended Complaint which
10
failed to address the insufficiencies of the initial Complaint’s allegations. While Plaintiff
11
claims Defendants lack the authority to foreclose on the Property, he makes no factual
12
showing for this allegation and thus fails to meet his burden of proof. Even if Plaintiff
13
had met his burden, Plaintiff lacks standing to challenge Defendants’ right to foreclose.
14
Regardless of whether the subsequent transfers of Plaintiff’s Deed of Trust were invalid
15
or not, Plaintiff was not the injured party of these faulty assignments and his obligations
16
under the note are unaffected. Since Plaintiff fails to rectify the deficiencies pointed out
17
in the Order granting Defendants’ first Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 26), this Court finds
18
its previous ruling to be equally applicable to the motion presently before the Court.
19
The crux of Plaintiff’s argument in the First Amended Complaint continues to be
20
that Defendants lacked any authority to institute nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings
21
under California law. According to Plaintiff, this is because his mortgage was transferred
22
without a valid assignment from the original lender, WMC, to Mellon. Plaintiff alleges
23
that the transfer, as initiated by MERS, was ineffective because Mellon has failed to
24
show it paid valuable consideration for Plaintiff’s debt allegation in the first place. Pl.’s
25
Am. Compl., ¶ 3. Plaintiff alternatively argues that even if Mellon was indeed a bona fide
26
beneficiary of his mortgage obligation, Plaintiff must be considered an intended
27
beneficiary of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (“PSA”) under which Mellon, as a
28
Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit trust, securitized Plaintiff’s loan. Id. at ¶ 5.
5
1
Plaintiff then contends that the trust is the only putative party able to effectuate any
2
change to Plaintiff’s debt, and claims the trust did not authorize any transfer of his loan
3
obligation. Id. at ¶¶ 6-8. Under either argument, Plaintiff claims that Defendants lack
4
the authority to foreclose.
5
Plaintiff’s separate causes of action demonstrate that this predicate shortcoming
6
underpins his entire lawsuit. In his First Cause of Action, for breach of contract, Plaintiff
7
claims that Defendants recorded a Notice of Default without being either a valid
8
beneficiary to Plaintiff’s mortgage or an agent of such a beneficiary. Id. at ¶¶ 40-41.
9
Plaintiff goes on to argue that his inquiries concerning that status went unheeded and
10
that consequently Defendants had no authority to claim a default had occurred or to
11
invoke nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings under California law. Id. at ¶¶ 47-49.
12
Similarly, Plaintiff’s Second Cause of Action, for violation of the Fair Credit Report Act,
13
alleges that Ocwen falsely reported Plaintiff’s default to credit reporting agencies despite
14
the fact that Ocwen was not an agent for a bona fide beneficiary of Plaintiff’s debt
15
obligation and therefore was precluded from doing so. Id. at ¶ 58. Additionally,
16
Plaintiff’s Homeowner’s Bill of Rights claim, as pled in his Third Cause of Action, again is
17
predicated on an argument that Defendants lacked authority to record a notice of default
18
since they failed to produce evidence that they were bona fide beneficiaries entitled to
19
do so. Id. at ¶ 72. Finally, while the reasoning underlying Plaintiff’s Fourth and final
20
claim, for negligent misrepresentation, is somewhat difficult to deduce, it appears Plaintiff
21
again argues that Defendants took various actions pertaining to Plaintiff’s loan without
22
“lawful authority” and by posing as “fictitious payees,” and therefore authority to either
23
accept loan payment or to accelerate Plaintiff’s loan obligation as a whole through
24
foreclosure. Id. at ¶¶ 88-89.
25
It is undisputed that Western’s efforts to foreclose on Plaintiff’s loan were
26
effectuated through California’s nonjudicial foreclosure scheme. That scheme, as set
27
forth in California Civil Code §§ 2924 through 2924k, “provide[s] a comprehensive
28
framework for the regulation of a nonjudicial foreclosure sale pursuant to a power of
6
1
sale4 contained in a deed of trust.” Moeller v. Lien, 25 Cal. App. 4th 822, 830 (1994).
2
“These provisions cover every aspect of the power of sale contained in a deed of trust.”
3
I.E. Associates v. Safeco Title Ins. Co., 39 Cal. 3d 281, 285 (1985). “The purposes of
4
this comprehensive scheme are threefold: 1) to provide the creditor/beneficiary with a
5
quick, inexpensive and efficient remedy against a defaulting debtor/trustor; (2) to protect
6
the debtor/trustor from wrongful loss of the property; and (3) to ensure that a properly
7
conducted sale is final between the parties and conclusive as to a bona fide purchaser.”
8
Moeller v. Lien, 25 Cal. App. 4th at 830. Because of the exhaustive nature of this
9
scheme, California’s “courts have refused to read any additional requirements into the
10
non-judicial foreclosure statute.” Lane v. Vitek Real Estate Industries Group,
11
713 F. Supp. 2d 1092, 1098 ; see also Moeller v. Lien, 25 Cal. App. 4th at 834 (“It would
12
be inconsistent with the comprehensive and exhaustive statutory scheme regulating
13
nonjudicial foreclosures to incorporate another unrelated cure provision into statutory
14
nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings.”). Significantly, too, nonjudicial foreclosure
15
proceedings are “presumed to have been conducted regularly, and the burden of proof
16
rests with the party attempting to rebut this presumption. Fontenot v. Wells Fargo Bank,
17
N.A., 198 Cal. App. 4th 256, 270 (2011).
18
Despite this clear precedent, Plaintiff himself describes the salient issue in this
19
lawsuit as whether Defendants obtained their purported right to initiate foreclosure from
20
a bona fide assignee of the Lender. Plaintiff alleges that in the absence of such an
21
interest Defendants acquired no right, title or interest in Plaintiff’s debt obligation
22
sufficient for purposes of conferring standing to foreclose. See Pl.’s Opp., ECF No. 30,
23
10:5-10.5 Indeed, Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint expressly alleges that “his real
24
property is being falsely encumbered by an unlawful lien” which stems from “a void
25
26
27
4
Plaintiff’s Deed of Trust provides a power of sale at § 20, which provides that Plaintiff’s
promissory note, together with the Deed of Trust, “can be sold one or more times without prior notice to
Borrower.” Deed of Trust, Ex. A to Defs.’ RJN, § 20.
5
28
Plaintiff also inexplicably appears to object to this Court’s subject matter and/or in personam
jurisdiction over Defendants despite the fact that it was Plaintiff who filed suit in this Court.
7
1
assignment of Plaintiff’s deed of trust” by his original lender, WMC, to Mellon. Am.
2
Compl., § 2. Plaintiff goes on to allege that because Mellon is not a valid beneficiary of
3
his loan obligation, no transfer of assignment to Defendants could occur. Alternatively,
4
Plaintiff further contends that even if Mellon was a proper beneficiary, the PSA executed
5
by Mellon was still void and that consequently Defendants could not be agents under
6
that theory, either.
7
In Gomes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 192 Cal. App. 4th 1149 (2011) the
8
state court rejected very similar arguments. In Gomes, the borrower complained that he
9
“[did] not know the identity of the Note’s beneficiary owner” and alleged that “the person
10
or entity who directed the initiation of the foreclosure process . . . was neither the Note’s
11
rightful owner nor acting with the rightful owner’s authority.” Id. at 1152. Like Plaintiff
12
herein, the borrower in Gomes sued “to determine whether the owner of the Note . . .
13
authorized the nominee to initiate the foreclosure process.” Id. at 1154. The court
14
rejected Gomes’ attempt in that regard to “interject the courts” into California’s
15
“comprehensive” non-judicial foreclosure statutes, which are designed, as indicated
16
above, “to provide the creditor/beneficiary with a quick, inexpensive and efficient
17
remedy” against a defaulting debtor. Id. at 1154; Moeller v. Lien, 25 Cal. App. 4th at
18
830.
19
Significantly, as Gomes explained, “nowhere does the statute provide for a judicial
20
action to determine whether the person initiating the foreclosure is indeed authorized.”
21
Moreover, the court went on to explain that there was “no ground for implying such an
22
action.” Id. at 1155. Gomes further observed that permitting such intervention would
23
“fundamentally undermine the non-judicial nature of the process and introduce the
24
possibility of lawsuits filed solely for the purpose of delaying valid foreclosures.” Id.
25
Although the Gomes court recognized limited circumstances where a “specific factual
26
basis” existed to challenge a foreclosing party’s authority to do so, it found no
27
“competent, particularized factual allegations or evidence” that pointed to any such
28
finding. Id. at 1155-56.
8
1
Here too no such particularized evidence or allegations are offered. To the
2
contrary, Plaintiff states only that Defendants have failed to demonstrate the validity of
3
the assignment. It is Plaintiff, however, who bears that burden as opposed to
4
Defendants, and Plaintiff has failed to meet his burden.6 Nor can Plaintiff point to an
5
alleged violation of the PSA to confer standing on his challenge to Defendants’ right to
6
foreclose, or Mellon’s ownership interest in his loan. Improper securitization under a
7
PSA does not support any such challenge under California case law. See Jenkins v. JP
8
Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., 216 Cal. App. 4th 497, 515 (2013) (as an unrelated third
9
party to the alleged securitization . . . [the plaintiff] lacks standing to enforce any
10
agreements, including the investment trust’s pooling and servicing agreement, relating to
11
such transactions.”); Arabia v. BAC Home Loans Serv., L.P., 208 Cal. App. 4th 462, 473
12
(2012) (“[I]f [defendant servicer] had breached the PSA, then perhaps [the trustee of the
13
PSA] would have a claim against [defendant servicer]. But it is an unsupported leap of
14
logic that would allow [plaintiff] to use these breaches to challenge [defendant servicer’s]
15
right to initiate a judicial foreclosure[.]”).
16
Most federal district courts within California are in accord with this reasoning.
17
See, e.g., Flores v. GMAC Mortgage, LLC, 2013 WL 2049388 at *3 (N.D. Cal. May 14,
18
2013 (finding that third-party borrowers like Plaintiff lack standing to enforce claims
19
stemming from alleged deficiencies in a PSA); McGough v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
20
2012 WL 2255931 at *4 (N.D. Cal. Jun. 18, 2012) (holding plaintiff lacked standing to
21
enforce a PSA where not an investor or party to the PSA); Brown v. U.S. Bancorp, 2012
22
WL 665900 (C.D. Cal. Feb. 27, 2012) (“plaintiffs lack standing to challenge the process
23
by which their mortgage was securitized because they are not a party to the PSA”);
24
Sami v. Wells Fargo Bank, 2012 WL 967051 (N.D. Cal. 2012) (finding “that [plaintiff]
25
lacks standing . . . because [he] is neither a party to, nor a third-party beneficiary of, [the
26
6
27
28
By asserting no factual basis for arguing that Defendants were not authorized to proceed with
foreclosure, Plaintiff, like Gomes, “simply seeks the right to bring a lawsuit to find out whether [Defendants
have] such authority. No case law or statute authorizes such a speculative suit.” Gomes, 192 Cal. App. 4th
at 1156.

PSA]”). Although California’s Fifth District did find, in Glaski v. Bank of America, N.A.,
2
2013 Cal. App. 4th 1079 (2013), that a borrower may challenge a securitized mortgage’s
3
chain of ownership, most courts have declined to follow this minority rule. See, e.g.,
4
Maxwell v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co., 2013 WL 6072109, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 18,
5
2013) (“[T]he majority of courts, including many judges in this district and circuit, as well
6
as other California courts, have disagreed with [the Glaski] decision and its conclusion.”);
7
Rivac v. Ndex West LLC, 2013 WL 6662762, at *4 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 17, 2013)
8
(recognizing as persuasive the reasoning of courts rejecting Glaski). This Court too finds
9
that Plaintiffs lack standing to either challenge Defendants’ right to foreclose or the
10
securitization of his loan under the PSA since Plaintiff is not a party to the PSA and
11
therefore lacks standing to sue based on alleged violations of the PSA.
12
Significantly, too, it bears noting that even assuming the subsequent transfers of
13
Plaintiff’s Deed of Trust were invalid, Plaintiff would not be the injured party in any event.
14
As the Jenkins court noted, a borrower like Plaintiff “is not the victim of such invalid
15
transfers because [his] obligations under the note remain unchanged.” Jenkins,
16
216 Cal. App. 4th at 515. Instead, rather than Plaintiff, the “true victim” would appear to
17
be “the entity or individual who believes it has a present beneficial interest in the
18
promissory note and may suffer the unauthorized loss of their interest in the note.” Id.
19
See also Fontenot v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 198 Cal. App. 4th 256, 271 (2011)
20
(Plaintiff cannot show the prejudice necessary to challenge foreclosure, under an invalid
21
assignment theory, since even if MERS lacked authority to transfer the note, that
22
assignment merely substituted one creditor for another and did not change plaintiff’s own
23
obligations).
24
While Plaintiff was given leave to amend his initial Complaint, he used that
25
opportunity to file a First Amended Complaint containing factual allegations virtually
26
identical to those of its predecessor. The First Amended Complaint utterly fails to
27
address the insufficiencies delineated above which caused the Court to dismiss his
28
original pleading. This Court has the authority to dismiss a complaint without further
10
1
leave to amend if “it determines that the pleading could not possibly be cured by the
2
allegation of other facts.” Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1127 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc)
3
(quoting Doe v. United States, 58 F.3d 494, 497 (9th Cir. 1995)). “Although leave to
4
amend should be given freely, a district court may dismiss without leave where a
5
plaintiff's proposed amendments would fail to cure the pleading deficiencies and
6
amendment would be futile.” Cervantes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d
7
1034, 1041 (9th Cir. 2011). Plaintiff has failed to identify any factual allegations that
8
correct the deficiencies noted in the Court’s August 11, 2016 Order (ECF No. 26). By
9
filing a nearly identical pleading, Plaintiff has demonstrated that there are no plausible
10
amendments or additional facts that can cure the pleading deficiencies. See Barclay v.
11
Davey, 2015 WL 1903085, at *7 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 27, 2015) (finding “any further leave to
12
amend reasonably futile” when plaintiff was “previously advised of pleading deficiencies
13
and afforded the opportunity to correct them [yet] failed to do so” in his first amended
14
complaint). Thus, permitting Plaintiff to file any further amended complaints would be
15
futile.
16
17
CONCLUSION
18
19
For all the foregoing reasons, Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 28) is
20
GRANTED and Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint (ECF No. 27) is DISMISSED without
21
further leave to amend. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close the file.
22
