Consequently, because the district division lacks jurisdiction to decide a
plea of title, we hold that, when a defendant raises such a claim, the district
division must provide the defendant with an opportunity to promise to enter
his action in the superior court and, if so ordered, to enter a recognizance. Cf.
Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co., 161 N.H. at 802; Bank of N.Y. Mellon, 161 N.H.
at 138. If the defendant fails to initiate the action in the superior court or does
not enter the specified recognizance, then the district division may resume the
possessory proceedings. See Bank of N.Y. Mellon, 161 N.H. at 138.
