MEMORANDUM *

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington John C. Coughenour, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted December 18, 2017 **

Before: WALLACE, SILVERMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

Archie T. Edwards and Patricia L. Edwards appeal pro se from the district

court’s order dismissing their diversity action arising from foreclosure

proceedings

. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a

dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). Knievel v. ESPN , 393 F.3d 1068, 1071

MOLLY C. DWYER, CLER K
U.S. COURT OF APPEAL S2 17

- 35 535

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

The district court properly dismissed plaintiffs’ claim under the Washington

Consumer Protection Act (“WCPA”) because plain tiffs 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 W CPA )

.

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. Iq bal , 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).3 17

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus FREDERICK LAMAR HAWTHORNE, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-02-CR-307-3

-------------------- Before KING, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: * Court-appointed counsel for Frederick Lamar Hawthorne has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Although he was notified of counsel’s motion, Hawhthorne has filed no response. Our independent review of counsel’s brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal with respect to Hawthorne’s conviction. As part of his plea agreement, HawthorneNo. 02-21350 -2- validly waived his right to directly appeal his sentence.
See United States v. Portillo , 18 F.3d 290, 292 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5 TH C IR . R. 42.2.

#### Kenneth NEWKIRK, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Louis LERNER, Judge, Hampton VA Circuit Court, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 13-7500.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted: Nov. 21, 2013.

Decided: Nov. 26, 2013.

Kenneth H. Newkirk, 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:

Kenneth Newkirk seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) petition without prejudice for failure to exhaust state remedies. The order is not appealable unless a circuit *229justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(A) (2006). A certificate of appealability will not issue absent “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2006). When the district court denies relief on procedural grounds, the prisoner must demonstrate both that the dispositive procedural ruling is debatable, and that the petition states a debatable claim of the denial of a constitutional right. *Slack v. McDaniel,*529 U.S. 473, 484-85, 120 S.Ct. 1595, 146 L.Ed.2d 542 (2000).

We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Newkirk has not made the requisite showing. Accordingly, we deny Newkirk’s motion for appointment of counsel, deny a certificate of appealability, deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss the appeal. 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.

*DISMISSED.*
