MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., District Judge.

Before the Court is Defendant U.S. Bank N.A., as Trustee, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Complaint (ECF No. 4) ("MTD").1 For the reasons that follow, Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED with leave to amend.

BACKGROUND2

In June 2006, Plaintiffs obtained, from defendant Pro30 Funding ("Pro 30"), first and second mortgages on real property located in Sacramento, California. (Compl. ¶¶ 4, 10 35.) The amount of the loan was apparently $384,000, although Plaintiffs apparently deny that Pro 30 loaned them that specific amount and contend the promissory note is a forgery. (Id. ¶¶ 69-73.) On or about January 20, 2010, Plaintiffs defaulted on their loan. (Id. ¶ 47.) At some point thereafter, a Notice of Default and Notice of Trustee's Sale were apparently recorded. (Id. ¶ 48.)

On or about December 7, 2011, Plaintiffs, at the time proceeding pro se, filed suit against various mortgage business related entities in Sacramento's Superior Court alleging: (1) violation of the California Rosenthal Act; (2) negligence; (3) breach of fiduciary duty; (4) fraud; (5) violations of Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200; and (6) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.3 (Id. at p. 1.) On March 2, 2012, Defendants removed on the basis of federal question jurisdiction — Plaintiffs' state law claims invoked various federal statutes — and they filed the instant Motion to Dismiss on March 9.4

STANDARD FOR 12(b)(6) MOTION TO DISMISS

On a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim under Rule 12(b)(6), all allegations of material fact must be accepted as true and construed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party. Cahill v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co., 80 F.3d 336, 337-38 (9th Cir. 1996). Rule 8(a)(2) requires only "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief" in order to "give the defendant fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the grounds upon which it rests." Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 554-55 (2007) (internal citations and quotations omitted).

Though "a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual allegations, a plaintiff's obligation to provide the `grounds' of his `entitlement to relief' requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." Id. at 555 (internal citations and quotations omitted). A plaintiff's factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level. Id. (citing 5 C. Wright & A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1216, pp. 235-36 (3d ed. 2004) ("The pleading must contain something more . . . than . . . a statement of facts that merely creates a suspicion [of] a legally cognizable right of action")).

Moreover, "Rule 8(a)(2) . . . requires a `showing,' rather than a blanket assertion of entitlement to relief. Without some factual allegation in the complaint, it is hard to see how a claimant could satisfy the requirements of providing not only `fair notice' of the nature of the claim, but also `grounds' on which the claim rests." Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555, n.3 (internal citations omitted). A pleading must contain "only enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Id. at 570; see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 677-679 (2009). If the "plaintiffs . . . have not nudged their claims across the line from conceivable to plausible, their complaint must be dismissed." Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570; Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 680.

A court granting a motion to dismiss a complaint must then decide whether to grant leave to amend. Rule 15(a) empowers the court to freely grant leave to amend when there is no "undue delay, bad faith[,] dilatory motive on the part of the movant,. . . undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of . . . the amendment, [or] futility of the amendment. . . ." Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182 (1962). Leave to amend is generally denied when it is clear the deficiencies of the complaint cannot be cured by amendment. DeSoto v. Yellow Freight Sys., Inc., 957 F.2d 655, 658 (9th Cir. 1992); Balistieri v. Pacifica Police Dept., 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir. 1990) ("A complaint should not be dismissed under Rule 12(b)(6) unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.")(internal citations omitted).

ANALYSIS

Although the Court takes into account Plaintiffs' pro se status at the time they filed their Complaint in Sacramento's Superior Court, the Court nevertheless holds that the Complaint must be dismissed for failure to state a claim. As stated above, to survive a 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, a Complaint must allege sufficient facts that, taken as true, make a plausible showing that the plaintiff is entitled to legal relief. Twombly, 550 U.S. at 554-55; Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 677-679.

Here, Plaintiffs' Complaint contains eighty-six paragraphs of "facts," followed by another fifty-eight paragraphs of legal claims, but fails to provide virtually any information about the specific parties or transactions at issue here, and the claims against the Defendants appear to be baselessly accusatory and conclusory. At this time, the Court will not address the specifics of Plaintiffs' factual allegations and causes of action, as the Complaint simply fails to adhere to the basic pleading requirements of Rule 8(a), as well as the heightened pleading standard of 9(b), in almost every material respect.

As a general matter, Plaintiffs' fail to sufficiently state facts in support of any of their claims.5 In particular, they fail to allege critical facts concerning their loan transaction and subsequent servicing, such as the amount of the loan, the amount of their monthly loan payments, how and why they apparently defaulted on that loan, what the current status of the property is, and whether they ever tendered payment.6 Furthermore, the Complaint raises various conclusory allegations about "foreclosure mills" (Compl. ¶ 13), "robo-signers" (id. ¶ 38), and the securitization of loans nationwide (see, e.g., id. ¶¶ 28-62), but it fails to sufficiently tie these accusations to specific actions taken by the specific defendants sued herein.

To the extent that Plaintiffs allege various acts of fraud and forgery, they fail to do so with the specificity required by Rule 9(b). For example, to the extent that Plaintiffs are alleging fraud in relation to their accusations that documents were forged (see, e.g., id. ¶¶ 67-77), the Complaint fails to provide sufficient details as to the circumstances constituting the fraud, the details as to when they discovered the forgery, or information about why Plaintiffs believe the documents were forged (e.g., they allege the loan amounts were not what they agreed to, but they do not state what they agreed to or attach any documents that might support their forgery or fraud claims).7 See, e.g., Kearns v. Ford Motor Co., 567 F.3d 1120, 1124 (9th Cir. 2009) (The heightened pleading requirements of Rule 9(b) require a plaintiff to plead facts as to the "who, what, when, where, and how" of the alleged fraud).

Finally, each of Plaintiffs' causes of action merely recite, in the most conclusory fashion, the elements for the particular claim, without specifying any specific facts about these particular parties that might support their claims. The Court is not inclined to sift through a multitude of paragraphs it has already found fail to comply with the federal rules to search for support to unsupported legal claims. (Id. ¶¶ 87-145.) It has been said before, but it bears saying again, "judges are not like pigs, hunting for truffles buried in briefs." Guatay Christian Fellowship v. County of San Diego, 670 F.3d 957, 987 (9th Cir. 2011). Therefore, Plaintiffs are given leave to amend their brief but must do so in a manner that is consistent with the federal rules. Failure to do so will result in summary dismissal.

In sum, Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is granted with leave to amend. In addition, because the Court has concluded that Plaintiffs have failed to sufficiently allege facts to support any of their claims, the Court sua sponte dismisses for failure to state a claim as to all remaining Defendants. Pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), a court may dismiss a claim sua sponte for failure to state a claim when the plaintiff "cannot possibly win relief." Omar v. Sea-Land Service, Inc., 813 F.2d 986, 991 (9th Cir. 1987) (citing Wong v. Bell, 642 F.2d 359, 361-62 (9th Cir. 1981)). A court may do so even when the defendant has not made a motion to dismiss. Id.; Ricotta v. State of California, 4 F.Supp.2d 961, 968 (S.D. Cal. 1998), aff'd. 173 F.3d 861 (9th Cir. 1999).

CONCLUSION

As a matter of law, and for the reasons set forth above, Defendant U.S. Bank N.A., as Trustee, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Complaint (ECF No. 4) is GRANTED with leave to amend. In addition, the Court sua sponte DISMISSES, with leave to amend, Plaintiffs' claims against all remaining Defendants for failure to state a claim. Plaintiffs shall file any amended complaint within twenty (20) days of the filing of this order electronically.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
