             The Honorable Jane A. Restani, Judge for the U.S. Court of
International Trade, sitting by designation.
      Appellant Cory Narog appeals the district court’s grant of Appellees’

motions to dismiss. For the following reasons, we affirm.

      1. Narog did not address the district court’s holding in favor of Trustee

Corps in his opening brief, which constitutes waiver. Christian Legal Soc. Chapter

of Univ. of Cal. v. Wu, 626 F.3d 483, 485 (9th Cir. 2010). The district court’s

ruling as to Trustee Corps is affirmed.

      2. The district court did not err when it found that Narog failed to state a

claim upon which relief can be granted against Appellant Federal Home Loan

Mortgage Corporation, because he failed to allege an equitable claim based on

prejudicial interference with his right of reinstatement. Lona v. Citibank, N.A., 134

Cal. Rptr. 3d 622, 633 (Cal. Ct. App. 2011). The exhibits attached to Narog’s

complaint show that, notwithstanding a typographical error in the address, the

statutory notices were sent in compliance with the relevant statutes. The court

could consider such documents attached to the complaint on the 12(b)(6) motion.

Parks Sch. of Bus., Inc. v. Symington, 51 F.3d 1480, 1484 (9th Cir. 1995). Narog

cannot overcome the presumption of regularity that accompanied the sale, see

Residential Capital v. Cal-Western Reconveyance Corp., 134 Cal. Rptr. 2d 162

(Cal. Ct. App. 2003), and therefore has not alleged a cause of action in his fourth

amended complaint. Accordingly, we need not and do not address whether a

                                          2
complaint that correctly alleged interference with the right to reinstatement would

also fail to state a claim without an allegation of full tender.

AFFIRMED.
