Text: The panel affirmed the district court’s summary judgment entered in favor of parties associated with the loan and deed of trust in an action, alleging wrongful foreclosure and related claims, that was removed from state court based on diversity jurisdiction. The panel rejected appellants’ claims that the district court should have remanded the action sua sponte to state court under two different prudential rules. The panel held that the doctrine of prior exclusive jurisdiction is inapplicable because the state court did not retain jurisdiction over the appellants’ property. The panel also held that the Colorado River abstention doctrine is inapplicable because appellants have not shown that any state proceeding relating to their house is pending concurrently with federal proceedings. COUNSEL Terry J. Thomas, Reno, Nevada, for Plaintiffs-Appellants. Michael R. Brooks, Brooks Bauer LLP, Las Vegas, Nevada, for Defendants-Appellees NDEX West, LLC and OneWest Bank, FSB.
