The district court did not have subject matter jurisdiction to consider Yamamoto's claims for a tax refund, injunctive relief or declaratory relief. As to Yamamoto's claim for damages due to emotional distress, Yamamoto failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 3 AFFIRMED. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3 --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/cases/533527.
