Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Robert Moore appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his diversity action alleging a wrongful foreclosure claim. 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). Doe v. Abbott Labs., 571 F.3d 930, 933 (9th Cir. 2009). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Moore's wrongful - foreclosure claim because Moore did not allege facts sufficient to show that he was not in default on his loan, and that defendants have not foreclosed on Moore's home. 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."); Collins v. Union Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass'n, 99 Nev. 284, 662 P.2d 610, 623 (1983) (wrongful foreclosure claim requires allegations that a lender exercised the power of sale and foreclosed upon property when no failure of performance existed on the part of the borrower).
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.
