STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER

Come now the United States of America ("United States") and Washoe County, through their respective undersigned counsel of record, and hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

1. On August 20, 2019, the United States filed its Complaint in this matter seeking to reduce to judgment federal tax assessments against Defendants David G. Meany and Jenice A. Meany, and to foreclose its federal tax liens against real property located at 1740 McNevin Court, Reno, Nevada 89509.

2. The real property that is the subject of this foreclosure action (hereinafter referred to as "the Property") is single story, single family home located at 1740 McNevin Court, Reno, Nevada 89509, Parcel No. 018-101-06, and is legally described as follows:

Lot 6 of Spring Meadows Subdivision, according to the map thereof, filed in the office of the County Recorder, Washoe County, State of Nevada on October 22, 1975. Tract Map No. 1544.

3. As of the date of the filing of this action, there are no delinquent property taxes on the Property.

4. However, there is a property tax lien on the property for the current tax year (2019 2020) pursuant to NRS 361.450, which is a perpetual lien against the property assessed until the tax and any penalty charges and interest which may accrue thereon are paid. The annual lien for property taxes attaches on July 1 of the year for which the taxes are levied. NRS 361.450(2).

5. NRS 361.450(1) provides that "Notwithstanding the provisions of any other specific statute, such a lien and a lien for unpaid assessments imposed pursuant to chapter 271 of NRS is superior to all other liens, claims, encumbrances and titles on the property, including, without limitation, interests secured pursuant to the provisions of chapter 104 of NRS, whether or not the lien was filed or perfected first in time."

6. Washoe County's interest in the Property, by virtue of its lien for property taxes, is senior to, and has priority over, the interests of the United States. Therefore, and by virtue of 26 U.S.C. § 6323(b)(6)(A), Washoe County is entitled to priority over the federal tax liens at issue in this lawsuit.

Wherefore, the United States and Washoe County, by and through undersigned counsel, agree to entry of an order as follows:

7. In the event the Court permits the sale of the Property, it will be sold free and clear of all liens of record. The Order of Judicial Sale shall provide that the proceeds shall be distributed first to the United States only to the extent of its costs and expenses of the sale and second to Washoe County for the pro rata portion of the property taxes of the year calculated to the date of the sale of the Property, including principal, penalties, and interest to the date of distribution, in an amount according to proof at that time. The remaining proceeds shall be distributed to any other defendants with liens on the property pursuant to their respective priorities.

8. Washoe County is enjoined from selling or otherwise disposing of the Property in order to collect delinquent property taxes, either now existing or those which may become delinquent during the pendency of this action, from the date this Order is entered until either (1) the sale of the Property is confirmed by the Court in this action, or, (2) the Court determines in this action that the United States is not entitled to foreclose its federal tax liens on the Property.

9. The parties submitting this stipulation agree to bear their own fees and costs.

10. Washoe County was named as a defendant under 26 U.S.C. § 7403(b). The United States claims no monetary relief against it, and there are no claims between it and the other defendants. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, Washoe County is excused from further participation in this case. It agrees to be bound by the judgment in this case, which shall incorporate the terms of this stipulation.

The parties so agree and request an order confirming the foregoing.

Dated this 18th day of November, 2019. CHRISTOPHER J. HICKS District Attorney By HERBERT B. KAPLAN Washoe County Deputy District Attorney ATTORNEYS FOR WASHOE COUNTY Dated this 18th day of November, 2019. RICHARD E. ZUCKERMAN Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General By ALEXANDER E.
