Settlement and Procedures Act (“RESPA”), 12 U.S.C. § 2601, et seq., and
California state law. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de
novo. Miller v. Yokohama Tire Corp., 358 F.3d 616, 619 (9th Cir. 2004). We
affirm.
The district court properly dismissed the action because Eronini suffered no
damages as a result of the alleged RESPA violation. See 12 U.S.C.
§ 2605(f)(1)(A) (allowing recovery of “actual damages”). We do not consider
arguments that Eronini presented for the first time on appeal. See Turnacliff v.
Westly, 546 F.3d 1113, 1120 (9th Cir. 2008).
Eronini’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
