1.
SFR served a notice of Rule 30(b)(6) deposition continuing 13 topics on BoNYM on
January 23, 2018. The deposition is scheduled for February 27, 2018.
2.
SFR served a substantially similar notice of Rule 30(b)(6) deposition on Bank of
8
America, N.A. (BANA) in Bank of Am., N.A. v. Falcon Pointe Ass'n et al, D. Nev. Case. No. 2:16-
9
cv-00814-GMN-CWH, last December.
BANA, through Akerman LLP (who also represents
AKERMAN LLP
BoNYM in this case) initially disputed seven of the thirteen noticed topics: (1) topic 5, which seeks

TEL.: (702) 634-5000 – FAX: (702) 380-8572
10
information concerning BANA's alleged damages; (2) topic 6, which seeks information concerning
12
what investigation, if any, BANA made into title or encumbrances before acquiring an interest in the
13
deed of trust; (3) topic 7, which seeks information concerning what investigation, if any, BANA
14
made into title or encumbrances before the HOA's foreclosure sale; (4) topic 8, which seeks
15
information concerning BANA's acquisition of its interest in the note and deed of trust; (5) topic 9,
16
which seeks information concerning BANA's "knowledge regarding creation, execution and
17
recording" of the recorded assignment(s); (6) topic 11, which seeks information concerning BANA's
18
communications with its "predecessor in interest" regarding the HOA's CC&Rs "and title or
19
encumbrances;" and (7) topic 12, which seeks information concerning "[a]l facts and circumstances
20
in which [BANA] contend[s] that [the HOA] and its foreclosure agent failed to comply" with NRS
21
chapter 116 in conducting the foreclosure sale (collectively, the disputed topics).
22
3.
BANA and SFR met and conferred concerning the disputed topics pursuant to L.R.
23
26-7 in connection SFR's deposition notice in Falcon Pointe. SFR agreed to limit or withdraw four
24
of the seven disputed topics based on the meet and confer. To avoid unnecessary fees and costs,
25
BoNYM and SFR stipulate to apply the agreement BANA and SFR reached in the Falcon Pointe
26
meet and confer to SFR's notice of deposition in this case as set forth below:
27
28
a.
Topic 6: SFR's inquiry into topic 6 shall be limited to investigations into title
that revealed Montagne Marron Community Association's lien.
2

2
b.
Topic 7: SFR's inquiry into topic 7 shall be limited to investigations into title
that revealed Montagne Marron Community Association's lien and/or foreclosure notices.
3
c.
Topic 11: SFR's inquiry into topic 11 shall be limited to communications
4
between BANA and its "predecessor in interest" regarding Montagne Marron Community
5
Association's foreclosure notices, CC&Rs and lien.
6
d.
Topic 12: SFR has already or will seek the information it seeks to obtain
7
through deposition topic 12 via an interrogatory. BoNYM agrees to substantively respond to SFR's
8
interrogatory subject to any written objections.
9
BoNYM serves its interrogatory response.
10
4.
SFR will withdraw deposition topic 12 when
BANA and SFR were unable to resolve their dispute concerning the remaining three

11
disputed topics (i.e., topics 5, 8 and 9) during their Falcon Pointe meet and confer but, to avoid
12
litigation costs and unnecessarily burdening the Court with substantially-similar motions for
13
protective order, agreed BANA would file only one motion per judicial combination (e.g., BANA
14
would file a motion in Falcon Pointe, but would not file one in other cases assigned to Judges
15
Navarro and Hoffman in which SFR served a deposition notice on BANA containing these same
16
three topics), and the parties will apply the Court's ruling in other similarly-situated cases. BANA
17
moved for a protective order in Falcon Pointe on January 24, 2018. The motion remains pending.
18
5.
Pursuant to the agreement reached in the Falcon Pointe meet and confer, BoNYM
19
and SFR agree the Court's order on BANA's motion for protective order in Falcon Pointe, D. Nev.
20
Case No. 2:16-cv-00814-GMN-CWH, ECF No. 93, shall apply to SFR's notice of deposition in this
21
case. SFR further stipulates BoNYM's deposition in this case is stayed as to all topics pending the
22
Court's ruling on BANA's motion for protective order in Falcon Pointe. SFR and BoNYM will
23
confer about a mutually-agreeable deposition date once an order enters in Falcon Pointe.
