My Home Now, LLC v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ( 2019 )

1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 3 MY HOME NOW, LLC, a Nevada Limited ) 4 Liability Company, ) ) Case No.: 2:16-cv-00727-GMN-NJK 5 Plaintiff, ) vs. ) ORDER 6 ) 7 JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., et al., ) ) 8 Defendants. ) ) 9 10 On January 26, 2018, the Court granted summary judgment to Defendant JP Morgan 11 Chase, N.A., (“Defendant”) because, under Bourne Valley Court Trust v. Wells Fargo Bank, 12 N.A., 832 F.3d 1154 (9th Cir. 2016), the Summerhills Condominiums Unit 1 (“HOA”) 13 “foreclosed under a facially unconstitutional notice scheme” and therefore the “foreclosure sale 14 cannot have extinguished” Plaintiff’s deed of trust on the property. (Order 15:11–13, ECF No. 15 84). The Ninth Circuit has since held, however, that Nevada’s homeowner’s association 16 foreclosure scheme is not facially unconstitutional because the decision in Bourne Valley was 17 based on a construction of Nevada law that the Nevada Supreme Court has since made clear 18 was incorrect. See Bank of Am., N.A. v. Arlington W. Twilight Homeowners Ass’n, 920 F.3d 19 620, 624 (9th Cir. 2019) (recognizing that Bourne Valley “no longer controls the analysis” in 20 light of SFR Investments Pool1, LLC v. Bank of New York Mellon, 422 P.3d 1248 (Nev. 2018)). 21 Moreover, for orders from this district that relied on Bourne Valley Court Trust v. Wells Fargo 22 Bank, N.A., 832 F.3d 1154 (9th Cir. 2016), and were thereafter appealed, the Ninth Circuit 23 recently began reversing and remanding such orders in light of Bank of Am., N.A. v. Arlington 24 W. Twilight Homeowners Ass’n, 920 F.3d 620, 624 (9th Cir. 2019). See, e.g., U.S. Bank, N.A, v. 25 1 SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC, No. 18-16006, 2019 WL 6817304, at *1 (9th Cir. Dec. 13, 2 2019). 3 Accordingly, to preserve judicial resources, 4 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Court’s prior Order, (ECF No. 84), is 5 VACATED. 6 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall have thirty days from the date of 7 this Order to file renewed dispositive motions. 8 The Clerk of Court shall reopen the case and deliver a copy of this Order to the United 9 States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Appeal Number 18-15152. 10 11 DATED this _1__8__ day of December, 2019. 12 13 ___________________________________ Gloria M.
