Sanucci Ct Trust v. Elevado C/W 63367
Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
SANUCCI CT TRUST, No. 63067 Appellant, vs. FILED JOSEPH ELEVADO, AN INDIVIDUAL; MELANIE ELEVADO, AN NOV 142014 INDIVIDUAL; AND BANK OF TRACE K. LINDEMAN CLER. OF SUPREME COURT AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, BY • DEPUTY CLERK Respondents.
SANUCCI CT TRUST, No. 63367 Appellant, vs. JOSEPH ELEVADO, AN INDIVIDUAL; MELANIE ELEVADO, AN INDIVIDUAL; AND BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, Respondents.
ORDER OF REVERSAL AND REMAND (DOCKET NO. 63067) AND DISMISSING APPEAL (DOCKET NO. 63367) These are consolidated appeals from a district court order granting a motion to dismiss in a quiet title action (Docket No. 63067) and from a post-judgment order denying NRCP 60(b) relief (Docket No. 63367).
Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jerry A. Wiese, Judge.
The district court granted respondent Bank of America's motion to dismiss, finding that Sanucci Ct Trust had failed to state a viable claim for relief because NRS 116.3116(2)'s superpriority provision merely "establishes a payment priority relative to a first security interest." Thereafter, the district court denied appellant's post-judgment motion for NRCP 60(b) relief. This court's recent disposition in SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC v. U.S. Bank, N.A., 130 Nev. 334 P.3d 408 (2014), decides that a common-interest community association's NRS 116.3116(2) SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA
(0) 1947A len -31S superpriority lien has true priority over a first security interest, and the association may nonjudicially foreclose on that lien. The district court's decisions were thus based on an erroneous interpretation of the controlling law and did not reach the other issues colorably asserted. Accordingly, we reverse the order granting the motion to dismiss in Docket No. 63067, and we remand this matter to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this order. Given our disposition in Docket No. 63067, we dismiss as moot appellant's appeal in Docket No. 63367.
It is so ORDERED.

CHERRY, J., concurring: For the reasons stated in the SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC v. U.S. Bank, N.A., 130 Nev. , 334 P.3d 408 (2014), dissent, I disagree that respondent Bank of America lost its lien priority by virtue of the homeowners association's nonjudicial foreclosure sale. I recognize, however, that SFR Investments is now the controlling law and, thusly, concur in the disposition of this appeal.
