district court’s judgments dismissing his action alleging violations of the Truth in

Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601, et seq., and Nevada state law. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Proctor v. Vishay

Intertechnology Inc., 584 F.3d 1208, 1218 (9th Cir. 2009). We affirm.

       The district court properly dismissed the action because the attachments to

the complaint show that Appellees are entitled to foreclose upon Cole’s property.

See Lee v. City of Los Angeles, 250 F.3d 668, 688 (9th Cir. 2001) (“[A] court may

consider material which is properly submitted as part of the complaint on a motion

to dismiss. . . .”) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted).

       Contrary to Cole’s contentions, the district court properly denied Cole’s

motion to remand because the district court had subject matter jurisdiction over

Cole’s claims, and the notice of removal and the joinder to removal were not

procedurally defective. See Proctor, 584 F.3d at 1224-25 (concluding that “the

filing of a notice of removal can be effective without individual consent documents

on behalf of each defendant”).

       Cole’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

       AFFIRMED.
