This litigation was initiated by Citibank against SFR as the Defendant. On January 30,

13

2017, SFR asserted counter-claims against Citibank and cross-claims against MERS in its Answer

14

to Complaint, Counterclaim and Cross-Claim (ECF No. 16).

15

MERS hereby represents that any interest that MERS had in the Property which is the

16

subject of this litigation 2 was released via the Substitution of Trustee and Deed of Reconveyance,

17

recorded in the Clark County Recorder’s Office as Instrument No. 20180116-0002354. Therefore,

18

MERS is no longer a real party in interest and disclaims any interest in the Property or any deed(s)

19

of trust relating to the Property.
