ORDER

LARRY R. HICKS, District Judge.

Before the court is plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order. Doc. #1, Exhibit 6.1

A court may grant a temporary restraining order upon a showing of: (1) irreparable harm to the petitioning party; (2) the balance of equities weighs in petitioner's favor; (3) an injunction is in the public's interest; and (4) the likelihood of petitioner's success on the merits. See Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 129 S.Ct. 365, 376 (2008) (citations omitted).

Here, plaintiffs contend that they are entitled to a temporary restraining order stopping the pending foreclosure, currently scheduled for February 23, 2012, because defendants did not comply with the strict and mandatory mediation requirements. See Doc. #1, Exhibit 6.

The court has reviewed the documents and pleadings on file in this matter and finds that plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged a violation of Nevada's mandatory mediation requirement to enjoin the pending trustee's sale. In their motion, plaintiffs allege that a notice of right to elect mediation was never provided to them with the notice of default in violation of Nevada law. The Nevada Supreme Court has recently held that strict compliance with the Nevada mediation statute, including the notice provisions, is required before a property may be sold at a trustee's sale. See Leyva v. National Default Servicing Company, 127 Nev. Adv. Op. 40. Therefore, this court shall grant plaintiffs' motion and enjoin the pending trustee's sale.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order (Doc. #1, Exhibit 6) is GRANTED. Defendants are ENJOINED from selling the underlying property at the trustee's sale currently scheduled for February 23, 2012.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
