v. HSBC Bank, USA, NA, Docket No. 57561 (Order Affirming in Part, Reversing in Part and Remanding, January 20, 2012). On remand, following a hearing, the district court entered an order concluding that HSBC provided sufficient documentation because Wells Fargo was acting as HSBC's servicer. Appellant now appeals, arguing that insufficient documentation was provided to establish the district court's finding. In an appeal from a district court order granting or denying judicial review in an FMP matter, this court defers to the district court's factual determinations and reviews de novo the district court's legal determinations. Edelstein v. Bank of N.Y Mellon, 128 Nev. ,286 P.3d 249
, 260 (2012). To obtain an FMP certificate, a deed of trust beneficiary must: (1) attend the mediation; (2) participate in good faith; (3) bring the required documents; and (4) if attending through a representative, have a person present with authority to modify the loan or access to such person. NRS 107.086(4) and (5); Leyva v. Nat'l Default Servicing Corp., 127 Nev. ,255 P.3d 1275
, 1278-79 (2011). Having reviewed the briefs and appendix on appeal, we affirm the district court's finding that sufficient documentation was presented by HSBC. Appellant argues that no document was provided establishing that Wells Fargo was acting as servicer for HSBC, but no statute or foreclosure mediation rule required production of such a document at the time the relevant mediation took place. See Edelstein, 128 Nev. at n.11, 286 P.3d at 260 n.11. Based on the district court's finding that Wells Fargo acted as servicer for HSBC, the record demonstrates that the required documents were provided at mediation. Therefore, the district court SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 2 (0) 1947A r+-s . properly denied the petition for judicial review and sanctions. Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.' I Douglas J. Saitta cc: Hon. Patrick Flanagan, District Judge Terry J. Thomas Snell & Wilmer, LLP/Las Vegas McCarthy & Holthus LLP/Reno Washoe District Court Clerk 'We limit our review on appeal to the issues outlined in our prior order of remand. As such, we do not address the other arguments raised by the parties in their appellate briefs. SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 3 (0) 1947A
