CHASE MANHATTAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION, NORTHWEST TRUSTEE SERVICES, INC., AND DOES 1 - 20 INCLUSIVE, DEFENDANTS.
Before the Court is a Motion to Dismiss filed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan"), as successor by merger to Chase Manhattan Corporation ("Chase Manhattan") (Doc. No. 8) ("Motion").*fn1 The Motion was filed on January 11, 2013. The Motion is unopposed.
While Plaintiff's failure to file an opposition is consent to granting the Motion (see L.R. 7-12), the Court resolves the Motion on the merits.
The Court finds the Motion appropriate for resolution without a hearing, and accordingly vacates the February 25, 2013 hearing. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; Local R. 7-15. After consideration of the papers in support of the Motion, the Court GRANTS the Motion, and DISMISSES the Complaint WITH PREJUDICE.
Defendants filed a request for judicial notice with their Motion (Doc. No. 8) (the "Request"). Defendants request the Court take notice of the following eight documents: (1) a grant deed, recorded on March 25, 2002 (Ex. 1 to Request) (the "Grant Deed"); (2) a deed of trust, recorded on April 15, 2003 (Ex. 2 to Request) (the "Deed of Trust"); (3) a substitution of trustee, recorded on January 25, 2010 (Ex. 3 to Request) (the "Substitution of Trustee"); (4) a notice of default and election to sell the property at issue, recorded on January 25, 2010 (Ex. 4 to Request) (the "Notice of Default and Election to Sell the Property"); (5) a notice of trustee's sale, recorded on May 3, 2010 (Ex. 5 to Request) (the "Notice of Trustee's Sale I"); (6) a notice of trustee's sale, recorded on April 25, 2012 (Ex. 6 to Request) (the "Notice of Trustee's Sale II"); (7) the complaint filed in the first action ("First Action") by Plaintiff on June 4, 2012 (Ex. 7 to Request) ("First Complaint"); (8) the notice of removal in the First Action (Ex. 8 to Request) ("First Notice"); (9) the pleadings and papers filed in support of JPMorgan's motion to dismiss in the First Action (Ex. 9 to Request) ("First Motion"); (10) the Court's order granting the motion to dismiss in the First Action (Ex. 10 to Request) ("First Order"); and (11) the judgment entered by the Court dismissing the First Complaint (Ex. 11 to Request) ("First Judgment").
A court may take judicial notice of court filings and other matters of public record. See Reyn's Pasta Bella, LLC v. Visa USA, Inc., 442 F.3d 741, 746 n.6 (9th Cir. 2006) (citing Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Auth. v. City of Burbank, 136 F.3d 1360, 1364 (9th Cir. 1998)). Defendants have provided a reference number for each document related to the Property, showing that they were in fact recorded; this demonstrates that the documents are public records. See Grant v. Aurora Loan Servs., Inc., 736 F. Supp. 2d 1257, 1264 (C.D. Cal. 2010); Velazquez v. GMAC Mortg. Corp., 605 F. Supp. 2d 1049, 1057--58 (C.D. Cal. 2008). Accordingly, the Court GRANTS judicial notice of these documents.
On December 3, 2012, Plaintiff filed a complaint in California Superior Court (the "Second Complaint"), initiating this action (the "Second Action"). (Ex. 1 to Declaration of Patrick R. Mahoney ("Mahoney Declaration") (Doc. No. 3).) Plaintiff asserts six claims in the Second Complaint: (1) violation of Cal. Civ. Code § 2923.5 ("First Claim"); (2) fraud ("Second Claim"); (3) intentional misrepresentation ("Third Claim"); (4) violation of Cal. Civ. Code § 2923.6 ("Fourth Claim"); (5) violation of Cal. Civ. Code § 1572 ("Fifth Claim"); and (6) violation of Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 ("Sixth Claim").
