                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                              for the District of Oregon
                    Michael J. McShane, District Judge, Presiding

                           Submitted September 12, 2018**

Before:      LEAVY, HAWKINS, and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges.

       Mary Strong appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her

action against Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and

other defendants alleging claims related to a mortgage loan on her real property.

       **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Cervantes v. Countrywide Home

Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d 1034, 1040 (9th Cir. 2011). We affirm.

      The district court properly dismissed Strong’s slander of title claim as barred

by the statute of limitations. See Diamond v. Huffman, 667 P.2d 1040, 1042 (Or.

App. 1983) (one-year statute of limitations for slander of title claims).

      The district court properly dismissed Strong’s quiet title claim because

Strong failed to plead superior title. See Coussens v. Stevens, 113 P.3d 952 (Or.

Ct. App. 2005) (setting forth requirements for quiet title action, and explaining that

a plaintiff must rely on the strength of her own title and not on the weakness of a

defendant’s title).

      The district court properly dismissed Strong’s “lack of standing to foreclose”

and declaratory relief claims because Strong did not allege that any defendants had

sought to foreclose on the property.

      AFFIRMED.
