Lending Act (“TILA”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review
de novo a dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). Cervantes v. Countrywide
Home Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d 1034, 1040 (9th Cir. 2011). We may affirm on any
ground supported by the record. Franklin v. Terr, 201 F.3d 1098, 1100 n.2 (9th
Cir. 2000). We affirm.
Dismissal of the Johnsons’ action alleging a TILA claim for rescission was
proper because the Johnsons did not exercise their right of rescission within three
years of when they consummated the loan transaction. See 15 U.S.C. § 1635(f);
Beach v. Ocwen Fed. Bank, 523 U.S. 410, 412-13, 419 (1998) (explaining that
Ҥ 1635(f) completely extinguishes the right of rescission at the end of the 3-year
period”).
AFFIRMED.
