Before: BERZON and WATFORD, Circuit Judges, and SOTO,** District Judge.

      The district court properly entered summary judgment for the defendants

and denied the plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend their complaint as futile. The

plaintiffs argue that the foreclosure sale of their property was invalid because the

notice of sale that they received did not identify the proper beneficiary of the trust

deed. However, the Oregon Trust Deed Act forbids post-sale challenges based on

this technical defect, for the reasons stated in Woods v. U.S. Bank N.A., __ F.3d __

(9th Cir. 2016). See Or. Rev. Stat. § 86.797(1) (formerly § 86.770(1)).

      AFFIRMED.

       **
              The Honorable James Alan Soto, United States District Judge for the
U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, sitting by designation.
