ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is an appeal from a district court order granting summary judgment in an action to quiet title. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jessie Elizabeth Walsh, Judge. Reviewing the summary judgment de novo, Wood v. Safeway, Inc ., 121 Nev. 724, 729, 121 P.3d 1026, 1029 (2005), we affirm.

The district court correctly determined that respondent Nationstar’s predecessor cured the default as to the superpriority portion of the HOA’s lien by tendering $1,524 to the HOA’s agent, which undisputedly exceeded 9 months of assessments. See Horizons at Seven Hills Homeowners Ass’n v. Ikon Holdings, LLC, 132 Nev. 362, 373, 373 P.3d 66, 72 (2016) ("[A] superpriority lien pursuant to NRS 116.3116(2) [ (2009) ] ... is limited to an amount equal to nine months of common expense assessments."). The tender of the defaulted superpriority portion of the HOA’s lien cured the default as to that portion of the lien such that the ensuing foreclosure sale did not extinguish the first deed of trust. Bankof America, N.A. v. SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC, 134 Nev., Adv. Op. 72, 427 P.3d 113 (2018). Although appellant contends that Nationstar’s predecessor needed to record evidence of the tender and that appellant is protected as a bona fide purchaser, we recently rejected similar arguments. Id. at 119-121. Accordingly, the district court correctly determined that appellant took title to the property subject to the first deed of trust. We therefore

We decline to consider appellant’s argument, raised for the first time on appeal, that the HOA’s agent was justified in rejecting the tender. Old Aztec Mine, Inc. v. Brown , 97 Nev. 49, 52, 623 P.2d 981, 983 (1981).

Appellant also argues that Nationstar’s predecessor imposed improper conditions on its tender and that it was required to keep the tender good. Because these arguments were raised for the first time in the reply brief, we decline to consider them. Francis v. Wynn Las Vegas , LLC , 127 Nev. 657, 671 n.7, 262 P.3d 705, 715 n.7 (2011) ; Old Aztec Mine, 97 Nev. at 52, 623 P.2d at 983.

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
