United States Ninth Circuit
Weeping Hollow Avenue Trust v. Spencer, 13-16060
In a case that challenged the constitutionality of Nev. Rev. Stat. section 116.3116(2)-(3)(2012), which gives a homeowners' association (HOA) lien priority over 'all other liens and encumbrances' for up to nine months of unpaid HOA fees, the District Court's judgment is reversed where it erred in applying the fraudulent-joinder doctrine to this case, because defendant was not shown to be fraudulently joined, and her presence in the action divested the district court of diversity jurisdiction.
