Case number 79290 involves a civil appeal titled "SFR INVS. POOL 1, LLC VS. BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON," currently processed in the Nevada Supreme Court, with related lower court case A683267 from Clark County's Eighth Judicial District. The appeal's status is closed, with a remittitur issued. The appellant, SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC, is represented by multiple attorneys from Hanks Law Group, while the respondent, Bank of New York Mellon, is represented by Christina V. Miller from Wright, Finlay & Zak, LLP, following the withdrawal of Dana Jonathan Nitz.
The appeal was docketed on July 29, 2019, with a filing fee of $250 paid the same day. The Supreme Court initially referred the case to a settlement program, but on February 3, 2020, it was determined that the case was not appropriate for settlement mediation, leading to its removal from the program. Subsequently, briefing schedules were reinstated, allowing 14 days for transcript requests and 90 days for the appellant's opening brief. Various motions for extensions of time to file the opening brief were filed and granted, with deadlines adjusted accordingly. The case has seen multiple docket entries related to filings, notices, and procedural orders throughout its course. For official records or copies of unavailable documents, contact with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Nevada is necessary.
Appellant was required to file and serve the opening brief and appendix by July 8, 2020, which included two volumes of the Joint Appendix. On August 5, 2020, a motion was filed to extend the time for the Respondent's Answering Brief, which was due by September 8, 2020. The Respondent's Answering Brief was subsequently filed on September 2, 2020.
On September 25, 2020, the Appellant filed a motion for a stay of briefing, which was granted on October 14, 2020, suspending the briefing schedule and requiring the Appellant to file a status report within 120 days. The Appellant submitted a status report on February 18, 2021, indicating ongoing briefing in related Docket No. 81129, but the court denied the request to establish a new briefing schedule. Instead, the Appellant was given an additional 120 days to file a reply brief if necessary.
The Respondent filed a notice on March 2, 2021, regarding changes in counsel. A stipulated motion to extend the reply brief deadline was filed and approved, setting a due date of July 28, 2021, for the Appellant's Reply Brief, which was filed on that date.
As of February 2, 2022, the case was marked as completed and sent for screening. On May 20, 2022, the court issued an Order of Affirmance, upholding the district court's judgment. The remittitur was issued on June 14, 2022, and filed with the district court on June 15, 2022, officially closing the case.
