MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

1
2

I.

BACKGROUND

3

This action was originally filed in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, on

4

October 18, 2012. On December 4, 2012, Defendant Quality Loan Service Corp removed this

5

action to this U.S. District Court. However, just prior to the removal, Plaintiff filed a motion for

6
7

injunctive relief from the state court, to enjoin Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie
Mae”) from evicting Plaintiff from her home. On November 26, 2012, the court issued a

9

Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) to maintain the status quo until a hearing on Plaintiff’s

10

motion for preliminary injunction could be held. (See, TRO, Ex.1). The court set the bond for the

11

TRO in the amount of $2,000.00.

12
13
14

On November 26, 2012, Plaintiff posted the bond for

$2,000.00 dollars, with the Clerk of the District Court, Clark County, Nevada. (See, Bond
Receipt, Ex. 2).

15

On December 28, 2012, this Court held the hearing on Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary

16

injunction, and on January 11, 2013, the Court entered an order denying Plaintiff’s motion for

preliminary injunction, and the TRO expired. On or about January 18, 2013, Fannie Mae evicted
Plaintiff from the property and is now in possession of the property.
II.

ARGUMENT
A.

20
21

THE BOND SHOULD BE EXONERATED BECAUSE ALL CONDITIONS
FOR THE BOND HAVE BEEN SATISFIED AND ARE NOW MOOT

22

Since January 11, 2013, the TRO has expired, the preliminary injunction was denied, and

23

Fannie Mae has taken possession of the property. Since all grounds for the posting of the bond

24

are now moot, the bond should be exonerated and discharged back to Plaintiff as soon as

25
26
27
28

practicable. Plaintiff is currently without a permanent home and is in need of the bond money to
secure a new residence.
