Case No.: 2:14-cv-00142-GMN-CWH
ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Motion to Expunge the Lis Pendens, (ECF No. 31), filed
10
by Defendants Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Mortgage Electronic Registration System, Inc.
11
(collectively “Defendants”). Upon a motion, the Court must dissolve a lis pendens if the
12
recording party fails to demonstrate: (1) a likelihood of prevailing in the action; or (2) a fair
13
chance of success and serious hardship that could result from a transfer of the property. Nev.
14
Rev. Stat. 14.015(3); see also Levinson v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 857 P.2d 18, 20-21 (Nev.
15
1993).
16
Here, Plaintiff Gricelda Rosetto (“Plaintiff”) has failed to file a Response, and the
17
deadline to do so expired on January 25, 2017. Thus, pursuant to Local Rule 7-2(d), the Court
18
finds that Plaintiff has consented to the granting of the Motion. See D. Nev. R. 7-2(d) (“The
19
failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities in response to any motion . . .
20
constitutes a consent to the granting of the motion.”). Moreover, the Court finds that
21
expunction of the lis pendens is warranted because all of Plaintiff’s claims have been dismissed
22
with prejudice. See, e.g., Wensley v. First Nat. Bank of Nevada, 874 F. Supp. 2d 957, 968 (D.
23
Nev. 2012) (expunging a lis pendens after dismissing a complaint with prejudice).
24
Accordingly,
25
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to Expunge the Lis Pendens, (ECF No.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the notice of lis pendens filed and recorded by or on

behalf of Plaintiff on the property located at 3013 Ocean Port Dr., Las Vegas, Nevada 89117
4
(APN 163-07-720-003) with the Clark County Recorder’s Office as instrument number
5
201405140002398 is hereby cancelled and expunged.
