Facts

Steve Salekfard sued Select Portfolio Servicing Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, and National Default Servicing Corp., for the allegedly wrongful foreclosure of his property located in Newport Beach.

Contentions

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS:
Defendants allegedly wrongfully foreclosed on plaintiff's home. As such, plaintiff asserted causes of action for violations of California Civil Code Sections 2923.6, 2923.7, 2924.10, California Business and Professions Code Section 17200 et seq., and negligence.

DEFENDANTS' CONTENTIONS:
JP Morgan demurred for failure to state a claim for relief.

Result

The court sustained JP Morgan's demurrer due to Salekfard's failure to allege when he submitted his application to Chase. Consequently, it could not be determined whether Chase violated Section 2924.10. Salekfard's failure to particularly plead his claim for relief, and this being the second time he was told to cure the deficiency warranted a dismissal.
