Smith v. JPMorgan Chase Bank CA3
Plaintiff Belinda Smith obtained two loans from Washington Mutual Bank, FA (Washington Mutual) to purchase a house. The loans were secured by the house. Subsequently, defendant JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan) acquired assets and liabilities of Washington Mutual. Smith defaulted on her loans and JPMorgan initiated nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings and purchased the property at a trustee’s sale. Smith filed a complaint and an amended complaint against JPMorgan. The trial court sustained JPMorgan’s demurrer to the amended complaint without leave to amend. Smith appeals, arguing the trial court abused its discretion in sustaining the demurrer without leave to amend and in not taking judicial notice of certain documents. In addition, Smith contends she has a constitutionally guaranteed right to a jury trial on her complaint. We shall affirm the judgment.
