ORDER REGARDING SUPPLEMENAL BRIEFING 11 12 SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS DEVELOPMENT CORP., et al., Defendants. 13 14 15 Defendants inform the Court that there are pending cases on appeal with the 16 Nevada Supreme Court presenting identical issues as this case. See Sandpointe 17 Apartments, LLC v. Eighth Judicial District Court of Nev., et al., case no. 59507; Nielson 18 v. Eighth Judicial District Court of Nev., et al., case no. 59823, Branch Banking and Trust 19 Company v. Nielson, case no. 60256; First Fin. Bank, NA v. Lane, et al., case no. 60927. 20 The issues presented in these appeals that are related to the questions in this case are: 21 I. Did the Nevada State Legislature intend NRS § 40.459(1)(c) to apply to a 22 deficiency judgment when the successor-creditor acquired the right to 23 obtain the deficiency judgment before the statute’s effective date? 24 II. Did the Legislature intend NRS § 40.459(1)(c) to apply to a deficiency 25 judgment when the successor-creditor acquired the right to obtain the 26 deficiency judgment before the foreclosure sale? 27 28 III. Did the Legislature intend NRS § 40.459(1)(c) to apply to a deficiency judgment when the successor-creditor is the Federal Deposit Insurance 1 Corporation (“FDIC”) or a successor-creditor which acquired the right to 2 obtain the deficiency from the FDIC? 3 Further, this Court stayed Branch Banking and Trust Co. v. Yoel Iny, et al., 2:11- 4 cv-1777-MMD-VCF (dkt. no. 43) and Branch Banking and Trust Co. v. Pebble Creek 5 Plaza Pad, 2:12-cv-01736-MMD-CWH (dkt. no. 15), because those cases raised the 6 above issues currently in front of the Nevada Supreme Court. 7 Given Defendants’ representation to the Court and the Court’s decision to stay 8 similar cases, the parties are HEREBY ORDERED to file supplemental briefing 9 regarding the following: (1) 10 What is the state of the proceedings on the three issues addressed above (I – III) before the Nevada Supreme Court? 11 (2) 12 Should this case be stayed in light of the foregoing discussion, and the 13 Court’s discretion to stay cases where a Nevada Supreme Court’s pending 14 decision will lend direction and clarity to the disputed matters in this case? 15 The parties must file supplemental briefs of no more than five (5) pages. The 16 parties must submit their briefs to the Court on or before Wednesday, February 13, 17 2013. 18 DATED THIS 4th day of February 2013. 19 20 21 MIRANDA M. DU UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
