02/05/2024Notice/IncomingFiled Respondent's Notice Suggestion of Death Upon the Record (NRAP 43)(SC)24-04231
02/12/2024Order/ProceduralFiled Order. This matter involves a legal question certified to this court, under NRAP 5, by the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. We accepted the certified question on February 10, 2023. On February 5, 2024, respondent filed a notice of suggestion of death informing this court that appellant had died on July 11, 2023. Respondent indicates that a notice of suggestion of death has also been filed in federal District Court in Abel Cantaro Castillo v. Western Range Association, Docket No. 3:16-cv-00237-RCJ-CLB. Because the underlying action in this matter is pending in the federal District Court, we will hold this original proceeding in abeyance until the federal District Court determines whether the underlying action will proceed. The parties shall have 30 days from the date of this order to file a status report regarding the proceedings pending in federal District Court. (SC)24-05035
