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. 14, 2015). Where, as here, there is no basis for any of the underlying claims, dismissal is appropriate. See Malasky v. Esposito, No. 16-CV-04102-DMR, 2019 WL 79032, at *10 (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”).
