Case No. 2:17-cv-00910-APG-VCF
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO
STRIKE AND DENYING MOTION
FOR DEMAND FOR SECURITY OF
COSTS
(ECF Nos. 12, 14)

Respondent LN Management, LLC demands that Petitioner Federal Housing Finance

11

Agency (FHFA) deposit security for LN’s costs under Nevada Revised Statutes § 18.130. ECF

12

No. 12. FHFA opposes by moving to strike LN’s demand. ECF No. 14. FHFA argues, among

13

other things, that as a federal agency, it need not post security for costs or damages. LN

14

Management did not respond. I therefore grant the motion to strike as unopposed. LR 7-2(d).
