ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This original petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus challenges a district court order granting a motion for partial summary SUPREME COURT judgment in a homeowners' association's construction defect action.
OF NEVADA Petitioner Grand Canyon Homeowners Association initiated a construction (0) 1947A .9e4 /7-3(0019 defect action on behalf of the unit owners in the association against real parties in interest. During the litigation, several unit owners sold their homes. Real parties in interest filed a motion seeking to have the original unit owners dismissed from the action and to prevent the subsequent purchasers from joining the action. The district court granted the motion, holding that (1) petitioner cannot represent the former unit owners of the units that sold, (2) petitioner may continue to litigate claims concerning those homes that did not change ownership, and (3) petitioner may represent subsequent unit owners if the former unit owners assigned their claims to the subsequent unit owners.
We recently addressed this issue in High Noon at Arlington Ranch Homeowner's Ass'n v. Eighth Judicial District Court, 133 Nev., Adv.
Op. 66, P.3d (2017). Therein, we held that an HOA could continue to represent subsequent unit owners in representative actions under NRS 116.3102(1)(d) (2007) because the subsequent unit owners were now the members of the association. Accordingly, we ORDER the petition GRANTED AND DIRECT THE CLERK OF THIS COURT TO ISSUE A WRIT OF MANDAMUS instructing the district court to vacate its September 5, 2014, order granting partial summary judgment and to enter an order consistent with this court's

'We deny petitioner's alternative request for a writ of prohibition. We also deny real parties in interest's motion to submit additional authorities because it seeks to introduce issues beyond the scope of petitioner's writ petition. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist.
