"ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED." fn5 [The Coroner's Office moved to strike portions of the LVRJ/AP's respondents' appendix, arguing that certain documents therein, including a scanned copy of the Nevada Legislative Counsel Bureau, Study of Nevada Laws Governing Public Books and Records, Bulletin 93-9 (Sept. 1992), were not properly filed in district court and improperly appear in the record on appeal. We note that the Coroner's Office's own appendix included exhibits filed in district court that specifically referenced Bulletin 93-9, and, in any event, the challenged documents did not inform our decision here. Accordingly, we deny as moot the Coroner's Office's motion to strike.] En Banc. (SC).20-11404
