BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., A No. 71358 NATIONAL BANKING ASSOCIATION, Appellant, vs. CHRISTOHPER R. FRANCO AND FE' FD 4.1t1
MELISSA R. HERNANDEZ, H 1 9 2018 Respondents. URT CLEV
BY y' CLERK ORDER OF REVERSAL AND REMAND 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. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; James Crockett, Judge. Reviewing the summary judgment de novo, Wood v. Safeway, Inc., 121 Nev. 724, 729, 121 P.3d 1026, 1029 (2005), we reverse the judgment and remand for further proceedings.' We conclude that the district court erroneously granted summary judgment for respondents' predecessor, as appellant's agent tendered $355.50 to the HOA's agent, which undisputedly represented 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 MRS 116.3116(2) [(2009)] . . . is limited to an
'Pursuant to NRAP 34(f)(1), we have determined that oral argument is not warranted in this appeal.
2Although respondents contend that the relied-upon evidence does not "constitute competent evidence" that a tender was delivered, respondents' predecessor did not dispute in district court that a tender was delivered or otherwise identify the alleged evidentiary shortcomings that respondents now identify on appeal. Old Aztec Mine, Inc. v. Brown, 97 Nev. 49, 52, 623 P.2d 981, 983 (1981). SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA / qournti (()) 1947A ez
J111 amount equal to nine months of common expense assessments."). The tender of the 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 I, LLC, 134 Nev., Adv. Op. 72, 427 P.3d 113 (2018). Although respondents contend that the tender was ineffective because it imposed conditions and that respondents' predecessor is protected as a bona fide purchaser, we recently rejected similar arguments. 3 Id. at 118, 121. Accordingly, respondents' predecessor took title to the property subject to the first deed of trust. We therefore ORDER the judgment of the district court REVERSED AND REMAND this matter to the district court for proceedings consistent with this order.
