Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jason Shurnas appeals from the district court's dismissal of his first amended complaint. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review the dismissal of a complaint for failure to state a claim de novo. Morrison v. Peterson, 809 F.3d 1059, 1064 (9th Cir. 2015).
Shurnas contends that section 25532 of the California Corporations Code is facially unconstitutional because it fails to provide sufficient notice that a recipient must request a hearing within 30 days after receiving a desist-and-refrain order. Shur-nas's challenge fails because section 25532 adequately describes the remedies available to a recipient of a desist-and-refrain order, and the state is not required to provide 'individualized notice of state-law remedies." City of W. Covina v. Perkins, 525 U.S. 234, 241, 119 S.Ct. 678, 142 L.Ed.2d 636 (1999). The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying leave to amend because any amendment would have been futile. Cervantes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d 1034, 1041 (9th Cir. 2011).
To the extent that Shurnas attempts to challenge section 25532 on the ground that it does not comply with procedural due process under Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 96 S.Ct. 893, 47 L.Ed.2d 18 (1976), such a challenge was not argued specifically and distinctly in his opening brief. Because "[w]e review only issues which are argued specifically and distinctly in a party's opening brief," Greenwood v. FAA, 28 F.3d 971, 977 (9th Cir. 1994), we do not address it.
AFFIRMED
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
. We deny Owen's motion to strike Shurnas's Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28(j) letter as moot.
