901 CHOCTAW, LLC, Appellant, v. BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., Successor by Merger to BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP f/k/a Countrywide Home Loans Servicing, LP; and Carrington Mortgage Holdings, LLC, Respondents.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal from a district court order granting summary judgment, certified as final under NRCP 54(b), in an action to quiet title. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kerry Louise Earley, Judge. Reviewing the summary judgment de novo, Wood v. Safeway, Inc., 121 Nev. 724, 729, 121 P.3d 1026, 1029 (2005), we affirm.
We conclude that the district court correctly determined that respondent Bank of America cured the default as to the superpriority portion of the HOA's lien by tendering $175.95 to the HOA's agent, which was accepted and which represented 9 months of assessments.1 See Horizons at Seven Hills Homeowners Ass'n v. Ikon Holdings, LLC, 132 Nev. 362, 373, 373 P.3d 66, 72 (2016) (“[A] superpriority lien pursuant to NRS 116.3116(2) [ (2011) ] ․ is limited to an amount equal to nine months of common expense assessments.”). The tender of the defaulted superpriority portion of the HOA's lien cured the default as to that portion of the lien such that the ensuing foreclosure sale did not extinguish the first deed of trust. Bank of America, N.A. v. SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC, 134 Nev., Adv. Op. 72, 427 P.3d 113 (2018). Although appellant contends that Bank of America needed to record evidence of the tender and that appellant is protected as a bona fide purchaser, we recently rejected similar arguments. Id. at 119-121. Accordingly, the district court correctly determined that appellant took title to the property subject to the first deed of trust. We therefore
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
FOOTNOTES
1. Although appellant suggests that there are questions of material fact regarding whether the tender was both made and accepted, the record contains unrefuted evidence that the tender was made and accepted.
