UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 96-632
In Re: ABEL UKA OKORO, Petitioner.
On Petition for a Writ of Mandamus. (CR-93-162-A) Submitted: March 27, 1997 Decided: April 2, 1997 Before RUSSELL, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Abel Uka Okoro, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).2 PER CURIAM: Abel Uka Okoro brought this mandamus petition seeking an order directing the district court to render a decision on his Motion forthe Return of Seized Money and Property. Subsequently, the district court entered an order denying Okoro's motion. Because his mandamus petition is now moot, we deny the petition. We dispensewith oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

#### Ronald Satish EMRIT, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. OFFICE DEPOT, INC., Defendant-Appellee.

No. 13-2141.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted: Nov. 21, 2013.

Decided: Nov. 25, 2013.

Ronald Satish Emrit, Appellant Pro Se.

Before KING, DUNCAN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Ronald Satish Emrit seeks to appeal the district court order requiring Emrit to particularize his employment diserimina*199tion complaint by providing a copy of a right to sue letter. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); *Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,*337 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Emrit seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
2 17-35535 

72 (9th Cir. 2005). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed plaintiffs’ claim under the Washington 

Consumer Protection Act (“WCPA”) because plaintiffs failed to allege facts 

sufficient to show that defendants engaged in an unfair or deceptive act that caused 

plaintiffs’ injury. See Bavand v. OneWest Bank, 385 P.3d 233, 247-48 (Wash. Ct. 

App. 2016) (setting forth elements for challenges under the WCPA).

The district court properly dismissed plaintiffs’ claim for “lack of standing 

to foreclose” because plaintiffs failed to allege facts sufficient to show that 

defendant U.S. Bank Trust, N.A. was not authorized to foreclose. See Bain v. 

Metro. Mortg. Grp., Inc., 285 P.3d 34, 41-42, 45 (Wash. 2012) (en banc) 

(discussing the definition of a “beneficiary” under Wash. Rev. Code. 

§ 61.24.005(2) and that Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. may act as 

a beneficiary’s agent); see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 677-78 (2009) 

(explaining that “[a] pleading that offers labels and conclusions” or “naked 

assertions devoid of further factual enhancement” is insufficient to survive a 

motion to dismiss (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

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).
