DE n ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE This is an appeal from a district court order granting summary judgment, certified as final under NRCP 54(b), in an action to quiet title. 1 Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jessie Elizabeth Walsh, Judge. Reviewing the summary judgment de novo, Wood v. Safeway, Inc., 121 Nev. 724, 729, 121 P.3d 1026, 1029 (2005), we affirm. The district court correctly determined that respondent Bank of America cured the default as to the superpriority portion of the HOA's lien by tendering $1,568.48 to the HOA's agent, which exceeded 9 months of assessments. 2 See Horizons at Seven Hills Homeowners Ass'n v. Ikon Holdings, LLC, 132 Nev. 362, 373, 373 P.3d 66, 72 (2016) ("[Al superpriority lien pursuant to NRS 116.3116(2) [(2011)] . . . is limited to an amount equal to nine months of common expense assessments.").

'Having considered appellants' response and supplemental response to this court's July 19, 2018, Order to Show Cause, we conclude that this court has jurisdiction over this appeal.

(0) 1947A - 901 1 r defaulted superpriority portion of the HOA's lien cured the default as to that portion of the lien such that the ensuing foreclosure sale did not extinguish the first deed of trust. Bank of America, N.A. v. SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC, 134 Nev., Adv. Op. 72, 427 P.3d 113 (2018). Although appellants contend that (1) Bank of America's tender was ineffective because it imposed conditions, (2) Bank of America needed to record evidence of the tender, and (3) appellants' predecessor is protected as a bona fide purchaser, we recently rejected similar arguments. 3 Id. at 118-121. Accordingly, the district court correctly determined that appellants' predecessor took title to the property subject to the first deed of trust. We therefore ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

3Appellants have not identified any condition that Bank of America was not legally entitled to impose. County of Clark v. Blanchard Construction Co. is not contrary to Bank of America, as the tendering party in that case tendered less than the amount actually owed. 98 Nev. 488, 493, 653 P.2d 1217, 1221 (1982).
