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.
