ORDER
10
On April 4, 2018, the Court granted summary judgment to Plaintiff Bank of America,
11
N.A., (“Plaintiff”) because, under Bourne Valley Court Trust v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 832
12
F.3d 1154 (9th Cir. 2016), the SBH 4 Homeowners’ Association (“HOA”) “foreclosed under a
13
facially unconstitutional notice scheme” and therefore the “foreclosure sale cannot have
14
extinguished” Plaintiff’s deed of trust on the property. (Order 5:21–23, ECF No. 50). The
15
Ninth Circuit has since held, however, that Nevada’s homeowner’s association foreclosure
16
scheme is not facially unconstitutional because the decision in Bourne Valley was based on a
17
construction of Nevada law that the Nevada Supreme Court has since made clear was incorrect.
18
See Bank of Am., N.A. v. Arlington W. Twilight Homeowners Ass’n, 920 F.3d 620, 624 (9th Cir.
19
2019) (recognizing that Bourne Valley “no longer controls the analysis” in light of SFR
20
Investments Pool1, LLC v. Bank of New York Mellon, 422 P.3d 1248 (Nev. 2018)). Moreover,
21
for orders from this district that relied on Bourne Valley Court Trust v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
22
832 F.3d 1154 (9th Cir. 2016), and were thereafter appealed, the Ninth Circuit recently began
23
reversing and remanding such orders in light of Bank of Am., N.A. v. Arlington W. Twilight
24
Homeowners Ass’n, 920 F.3d 620, 624 (9th Cir. 2019). See, e.g., U.S. Bank, N.A, v. SFR
25
Investments Pool 1, LLC, No. 18-16006, 2019 WL 6817304, at *1 (9th Cir. Dec. 13, 2019).
