No. Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-4, 2:17-cv-03084-MMD-NJK Plaintiff-Appellee, MEMORANDUM* v. 886 PARK WALK TRUST, Defendant-Appellant, and OAK PARK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION; ABSOLUTE COLLECTION SERVICES, LLC, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Miranda M. Du, Chief District Judge, Presiding Submitted July 9, 2020** Seattle, Washington * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Before: HAWKINS, D.M. FISHER,*** and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges. 886 Park Walk Trust (the “Trust”) challenges the district court’s adverse grant of summary judgment declaring that the Trust purchased property located at 886 Park Walk, Las Vegas, Nevada subject to a deed of trust held by the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and affirm. The Trust’s sole contention on appeal is that BNY’s claim is barred by a three- year statute of limitations. The Trust concedes, however, that it failed to raise its statute of limitations defense in district court. We may consider an issue raised for the first time on appeal under certain “exceptional circumstances,” AlohaCare v. Hawaii, Dep’t of Human Servs., 572 F.3d 740, 744–45 (9th Cir. 2009), but this case does not present such circumstances. AFFIRMED. *** The Honorable D. Michael Fisher, United States Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, sitting by designation. 2 19-16281
