10 In 2020, this court dismissed the Bank of New York Mellon’s claims in this HOA- 11 foreclosure action as time-barred by Nevada’s catch-all four-year deadline in Nevada Revised 12 Statute (NRS) 11.220 because it was filed more than four years after the foreclosure sale 13 occurred.1 Two years later, the Supreme Court of Nevada agreed that such actions are subject to 14 NRS 11.220’s four-year limitations period in U.S. Bank v. Thunder Properties, but it declined to 15 adopt a bright-line trigger for when that period begins to run.2 Because the instant case was on 16 appeal when Thunder Properties was decided, the Ninth Circuit panel asked for supplemental 17 briefing about when the statute began to run on these claims.3 Based on that briefing, the panel 18 found that the bank’s action was timely, vacated my dismissal, and “remanded to the district 19 court for entry of judgment in favor of Mellon.”4 20 21 1 ECF No. 118 (minutes of trial ruling); ECF No. 120 (judgment). 22 2 U.S. Bank v.
