WOODS (Fred), J.

Does a complaint state a tort cause of action for conversion or breach of the good faith, fair dealing covenant or wrongful dishonor when it alleges these facts: I had a one-person checking account; the bank paid an unauthorized $1,000 check on it; later the bank returned two checks to me requesting two account signatures; I discovered the unauthorized $1,000 check payment and demanded reinstatement; and within thirty days the bank made reinstatement.

Our answer is no. We therefore affirm the trial court’s order sustaining the demurrer without leave to amend.
