U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
-- 1 of 2 --
2 14-56082
USA, N.A., 656 F.3d 877, 883 (9th Cir. 2011) (motion for judgment on the
pleadings); Doe v. Abbott Labs., 571 F.3d 930, 933 (9th Cir. 2009) (motion to
dismiss). We may affirm on any basis supported by the record. Henry v. Gill
Indus., Inc., 983 F.2d 943, 950 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.
Dismissal of Chyba’s FCRA claims was proper because Chyba failed to
exhaust the claims before filing suit in district court as required by the Financial
Institutions, Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”). See
12 U.S.C. § 1821(d); Rundgren v. Wash. Mut. Bank, FA, 760 F.3d 1056, 1060-
61 (9th Cir. 2014) (no jurisdiction exists over claims not properly exhausted
through FIRREA’s administrative process).
We reject as without merit Chyba’s contention that the district court’s denial
of her motion for in camera review violated her due process rights.
Washington Mutual’s request for judicial notice, filed on March 30, 2015, is
granted.
AFFIRMED.
