MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

IV. ARGUMENT


C. Plaintiffs’ Claims Fail for Reasons Specific to Each Claim.


10. Plaintiffs Fail to State a Claim for Declaratory Relief.


Plaintiffs’ claim for declaratory relief should be dismissed because it is not an independent cause of action. See Mayen v. Bank of Am. N.A., No. 14-CV-03757-JST, 2015 WL 179541, at *5 (N.D. Cal.

Jan. 2, 2019), aff'd, 781 F. App'x 643 (9th Cir. 2019) (dismissing declaratory relief claim “[b]ecause the court has dismissed [the] underlying claims”).
