MEMORANDUM **

Christopher S. Martinez appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging federal and state law claims arising out of 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), and may affirm on any ground supported by the record. *Thompson v. Paul,*547 F.3d 1055, 1058-59 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Martinez’s state law claims because Martinez failed to allege facts sufficient to state any plausible claim for relief. *See Ashcroft v. Iqbal,*556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009); *see**632*also*Nev. Rev. Stat. § 107.080(5)(a) (court must declare a trustee sale void if the trustee fails to substantially comply with the statutory requirements); *Chapman v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co.,*129 Nev. -, 302 P.3d 1103, 1106 (2013) (“A plea to quiet title does not require any particular elements, but each party must plead and prove his or her own claim to the property in question and a plaintiffs right to relief therefore depends on superiority of title.” (internal quotation marks omitted)); *Bulbman, Inc. v. Nevada Bell,*108 Nev. 105, 825 P.2d 588, 592 (1992) (setting forth elements of fraudulent misrepresentation claim under Nevada law); *Higgins v. Higgins,*103 Nev. 443, 744 P.2d 530, 531 (1987) (setting forth elements of slander of title cause of action under Nevada law); *Collins v. Union Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n,*99 Nev. 284, 662 P.2d 610, 623 (1983) (wrongful foreclosure claim requires that no failure of performance existed on the part of the borrower that would have authorized foreclosure).

To the extent that Martinez challenges the validity of any assignment of the loan into a securitized trust, he lacks standing to raise such a challenge. *See Wood v. Germann,*130 Nev. -, 331 P.3d 859, 861-62 (2014) (per curiam).

The district court properly dismissed Martinez’s Fair Debt Collection Practices Act claim because Martinez failed to allege facts sufficient to show that defendants made a false, deceptive, or misleading representation to him. *See*15 U.S.C. § 1692e (prohibiting a “debt collector” from using “any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt”).

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.
