Case No. 2:16-CV-2013 JCM (VCF)

Presently before the court is defendant SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC’s demand for security
of costs pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 18.130. (ECF No. 8).

15

“When a plaintiff in an action resides out of the State, or is a foreign corporation, security

16

for the costs and charges which may be awarded against such plaintiff may be required by the

17

defendant . . . .” NRS 18.130. Further, “[i]t is the policy of the United States District Court for

18

the District of Nevada to enforce the requirements of NRS 18.130 in diversity actions.” Feagins

v. Trump Org., 2012 WL 925027 (D. Nev. 2012) (citing Hamar v. Hyatt Corp., 98 F.R.D. 305,

305–6 (D. Nev. 1983); Arrambide v. St. Mary’s Hosp., Inc., 647 F.Supp. 1148, 1149 (D. Nev.
1986)).
Plaintiff Nationstar Mortgage LLC asserts in its complaint that it is “a citizen of Delaware
and Texas . . . .” (ECF No. 1 at 1). Therefore, this court finds that defendant properly invokes
NRS 18.130. Pursuant to that statute, plaintiff is to deposit $500.00 with the clerk of court for
“costs and charges as may be awarded” in this case. NRS 18.130.

Accordingly,

26

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that defendant’s demand for
