NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED APR 19 2022 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JOSE MEJIA, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS No. 21-16550 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 4:21-cv-01351-HSG v. MEMORANDUM* JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr., District Judge, Presiding Submitted April 11, 2022** Before: McKEOWN, CHRISTEN, and BRESS, Circuit Judges. Jose Mejia appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his diversity action alleging state law breach of contract and negligence claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (12)(b)(6). Cervantes * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). v. United States, 330 F.3d 1186, 1187 (9th Cir. 2003). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Mejia’s action because Mejia failed to allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (to avoid dismissal, “a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); Oasis W. Realty, LLC v. Goldman, 250 P.3d 1115, 1121 (Cal. 2011) (elements of a breach of contract claim); Castellon v. U.S. Bancorp, 163 Cal. Rptr. 3d 637, 640 (Ct. App. 2013) (elements of a negligence claim). AFFIRMED. 2 21-16550
