review de novo a dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P 12(b)(1). Gingery v. City of
Glendale, 831 F.3d 1222, 1226 (9th Cir. 2016). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Poorsina’s action for lack of standing
because Poorsina failed to allege facts sufficient to demonstrate that Wells Fargo’s
approval of a mortgage loan made to nonparties injured Poorsina, that Wells Fargo
caused Poorsina to suffer any harm, or that any injury to Poorsina could be
redressed by a favorable decision. See TransUnion LLC v. Ramirez, 141 S.Ct.
2190, 2203 (2021) (explaining requirements of Article III standing).
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Poorsina leave to
amend because further amendment would have been futile. See Cervantes v.
Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d 1034, 1041 (9th Cir. 2011) (setting forth
standard of review and stating that leave to amend may be denied where
amendment would be futile).
AFFIRMED.
