                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Central District of California
                     S. James Otero, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted January 3, 2020**

Before: GOODWIN, LEAVY, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.

      Masis and Verzhin Bagdasaryan and their son Harout Bagdasaryan appeal

pro se the district court’s judgment, following a jury trial, in their action alleging

violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1692

et seq., and California law against Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, and M&T Bank.

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Plaintiffs’ claims stem from defendants’ servicing of three Small Business

Administration loans for the repair of commercial property. We have jurisdiction

under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Spencer v. Peters, 

, 797

(9th Cir. 2017) (judgment as a matter of law), Puri v. Khalsa, 

, 1157

(9th Cir. 2017) (dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) and legal determinations),

Gingery v. City of Glendale, 

, 1226 (9th Cir. 2016) (dismissal for

lack of standing). We may affirm on any ground supported by the record. Cassirer

v. Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Found., 

, 974 (9th Cir. 2017). We

affirm.

      The district court properly dismissed Harout Bagdasaryan as a party because

plaintiffs failed to allege that defendants caused him a cognizable injury. See Lujan

v. Defenders of Wildlife, 

, 560 (1992) (constitutional requirements of

standing).

      The district court properly dismissed the claim for Intentional Infliction of

Emotional Distress (“IIED”) because plaintiffs failed to allege that defendants

engaged in outrageous conduct. See Hughes v. Pair, 

, 976 (Cal. 2009)

(elements of an IIED claim under California law).

      Judgment as a matter of law was proper on the fraud claim because plaintiffs

failed to provide evidence of a misrepresentation by Bayview or of plaintiffs’

reliance on any such misrepresentation. See Vess v. Ciba-Geigy Corp., USA, 317


                                          

, 1105 (9th Cir. 2003) (elements of a fraud claim under California law).

      The district court properly entered judgment for defendants on the claim

alleging violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law (“UCL”), Cal. Bus. &

Prof. Code § 17200, because plaintiffs failed to provide evidence of any “unlawful,

unfair or fraudulent business act or practice.” Id.; see Puentes v. Wells Fargo

Home Mortg., Inc., 

, 644 (2008) (requirements for liability

under the UCL).

      Plaintiffs have not shown plain error in Jury Instruction 11, regarding the

definition of consumer debt under the FDCPA. See C.B. v. City of Sonora, 

, 1016 (9th Cir. 2014) (standard of review); Slenk v. Transworld Sys.,

Inc., 

, 1075 (9th Cir. 2001) (explaining the definition of consumer

debt under the FDCPA).

      Plaintiffs have waived their remaining arguments by failing to raise them

before the district court. See Janes v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., 

, 887 (9th

Cir. 2002) (this court will not consider matters raised for the first time on appeal).

      AFFIRMED.
