   MEMORANDUM

Fidel H. Pajarillo appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging, among other claims, wrongful foreclosure. 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), and may affirm on any ground supported by the record. Thompson v. Paul, 547 F.3d 1055, 1058-59 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.

Dismissal of Pajarillo’s action was proper because Pajarillo failed to allege facts sufficient to show that he was not in default on his loan. See In re Mortg. Elec. Registration Sys., Inc., 754 F.3d 772, 785 (9th Cir. 2014) (“Nevada law requires- that a trustor or mortgagor show a lack of default in order to proceed with a wrongful foreclosure claim,”).

Contrary to Pajarillo’s contentions, the district court correctly determined that Pajarillo’s note and deed of trust were reunified by the August 2011 assignment of the deed of trust and note. See Edelstein v. Bank of N.Y. Mellon, 286 P.3d 249, 258 (Nev. 2012) (“MERS, as agent for [the original lender] and its successors and assigns, had authority to transfer the note on behalf of [the original lender] and its successors and assigns.”).

Appellees’ request for judicial notice, filed on June 6, 2014, is denied.

Pajarillo’s motion to remand, filed on October 27,2015, is denied.

AFFIRMED.
