Cashman (2002) 29 Cal.4th 69, 80 (City of Cotati) [plaintiff may not use claim for declaratory relief to "'create a cause of action that otherwise does not exist'"].) "The recognition of the right to bring a lawsuit to determine a nominee's authorization to proceed with foreclosure on behalf of the note holder would fundamentally undermine the nonjudicial nature of the process and introduce the possibility of lawsuits filed solely for the purpose of delaying valid foreclosures."
