Docket

*1 Before: WALLACE, SILVERMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

Niki-Alexander Shetty, FKA Satish Shetty, appeals pro se from the district *2 court’s judgment dismissing his diversity action alleging pre-foreclosure claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), and we may affirm on any basis supported by the record. Thompson v. Paul , 547 F.3d 1055, 1058-59 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.

Dismissal of Shetty’s action was proper because Shetty failed to allege facts sufficient to “state a claim that is plausible on its face.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal , 556 U.S. 662, 677-78 (2009) (explaining that “[a] pleading that offers labels and conclusions” or “naked assertions devoid of further factual enhancement” is insufficient to survive a motion to dismiss (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief or arguments raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright , 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

Appellee The Bank of New York Mellon’s request for judicial notice (Docket Entry No. 15) is denied as unnecessary.

AFFIRMED.
