MEMORANDUM ***
Irene Schwartz-Tallard appeals the district courts grant of summary judgment on her quiet title, breach of contract, and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims against HSBC Bank, USA, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, Defendants). Because the parties are familiar with the facts and procedural history of the case, we recite only those facts necessary to decide this appeal. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
The district court did not err in granting summary judgment on Schwartz-Tallards quiet title claim. By her own admission, Schwartz-Tallard has not made mortgage payments since 2009. She cannot demonstrate superior title to the property. Cf. Res. Grp., LLC v. Nev. Assn Servs., Inc., 135 Nev. 48, 437 P.3d 154, 159 (2019) (titleholder could not show superior title because it did not meet its burden of showing that it paid delinquent fees).
Nor did the district court err in granting summary judgment on Schwartz-Tallards breach of contract claim. Schwartz-Tallard has already recovered on Wells Fargos violation of the bankruptcy courts 2009 stay order, so that violation cannot serve as the basis for her contract claim. See Elyousef v. OReilly & Ferrario, LLC, 126 Nev. 441, 245 P.3d 547, 549 (2010) (per curiam) (“[S]atisfaction of the plaintiffs damages for an injury bars further recovery for that injury.”). And by not making her mortgage payments since 2009, Schwartz-Tallard materially breached the Deed of Trust. That breach excused Defendants from further performance. See Young Elec. Sign Co. v. Fohrman, 86 Nev. 185, 466 P.2d 846, 847 (1970) (“The lessees material breach in failing to pay rent excused further performance by the lessor.”).
Finally, the district court correctly granted summary judgment on Schwartz-Tallards intentional infliction of emotional distress claim. Wells Fargos violation of the bankruptcy stay in 2009 and Defendants’ attempts to evict Schwartz-Tallard in 2013 and 2014 cannot support her claim because each of these events occurred more than two years before Schwartz-Tallard filed her complaint. See Nev. Rev. Stat. § 11.190(4)(e) (personal injury claims must be brought within two years).
Schwartz-Tallards remaining allegations are insufficient on the merits. In addition to the bankruptcy stay violation and Defendants’ attempts to evict her, Schwartz-Tallard alleged that Defendants sent her monthly statements and made “monthly threats of foreclosure and/or eviction” through letters and phone calls. And she claimed that an individual purporting to represent Wells Fargo took pictures of the property in May 2016. Yet this conduct was not “extreme and outrageous.” Star v. Rabello, 97 Nev. 124, 625 P.2d 90, 92 (1981).
In fact, we agree with the district courts assessment that Defendants’ actions after August 1, 2015 were “nothing more than understandable attempts to enforce [their] secured debt interest.” Regular attempts by a bank to recover monies due to it on a mortgage received for cash loaned to a borrower are not, under applicable Nevada law, intentional infliction of emotional distress. See, e.g., Dowers v. Nationstar Mortg., LLC, 852 F.3d 964, 971–72 (9th Cir. 2017) (holding that, under Nevada law, “threaten[ing] to foreclose on a property without authority to do so” and “delay[ing] the recission of a previously-recorded notice of default” did not constitute intentional infliction of emotional distress).
AFFIRMED.
