District Judge.**

       Richard and Delania Geddes brought a nine-count complaint in the Superior

Court of Maricopa County, Arizona, seeking to stop the non-judicial foreclosure of

their house after they defaulted on their loan payments. The case was removed to

federal court. The district court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss under

Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Geddes v. HSBC Bank

USA, CV-12-0667-PHX-FJM, 2012 WL 1977277 (D. Ariz. June 1, 2012). The

Geddes appeal. Jurisdiction lies under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo,

Zadrozny v. Bank of New York Mellon, 720 F.3d 1163, 1167 (9th Cir. 2013), and

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

       AFFIRMED.

District of Maryland, sitting by designation.
