FAREED SEPEHRY-FARD, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. GREENPOINT MORTGAGE FUNDING, INC.; et al., Defendants-Appellees.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 5:13-cv-04535-EJD MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California
Edward J. Davila, District Judge, Presiding Before: LEAVY, GRABER, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Fareed Sepehry-Fard appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his quiet title action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court's dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Crum v. Circus Circus Enters., 231 F.3d 1129, 1130 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Sepehry-Fard's action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because Sepehry-Fard failed to allege facts sufficient to show any violation of federal law or diversity of citizenship in his complaint. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332(a); Yokeno v. Mafnas, 973 F.2d 803, 807-08 (9th Cir. 1992) (analyzing whether plaintiff's complaint presented a "substantial federal question"); Kuntz v. Lamar Corp., 385 F.3d 1177, 1181-83 (9th Cir. 2004) (addressing diversity of citizenship under § 1332).
We do not consider any claims that Sepehry-Fard did not properly raise before the district court. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
Sepehry-Fard's contentions that the district court violated his right to due process are unpersuasive.
In light of our disposition, we do not address the merits of Sepehry-Fard's claims.
Sepehry-Fard's pending motions are denied.
AFFIRMED.
