|
| 12/11/2024 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order Consolidating Cases and Scheduling Oral Argument. These cases involve an appeal from a judgment on a jury verdict (Docket No. 86961-COA) and an appeal from a postjudgment order awarding attorney fees, costs, and interests (Docket No. 87975-COA) in a torts matter. As these appeals involve the same district court case and issues arising therefrom and the same parties, we conclude that their consolidation is warranted. Accordingly, these cases are hereby consolidated. Further, this court has determined that oral argument may be of assistance in resolving these matters. Accordingly, these matters are scheduled for oral argument on January 28, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in Las Vegas. The argument shall be limited to 30 minutes. Nos. 86961/87975 (COA) | | 24-47466

| 03/21/2025 | Order/Dispositional | Filed Order Dismissing Appeal (Docket No. 86961-COA) and Affirming in Part, Reversing in Part, and Remanding (Docket No. 87975-COA). As we are unable to grant any relief that would change the outcome of the underlying case in Docket No. 86961-COA due to Paustian's death, we order the appeal in Docket No. 86961-COA dismissed. Docket No. 87975-COA, we reverse the order resolving the parties' motions for interest and we remand for the district court to calculate Smith's pre-offer prejudgment interest in accordance with this order. We conclude that the district court correctly calculated Paustian's post-offer prejudgment interest for the entire period between the time of the offer and the time of the entry of judgment, and we therefore affirm that portion of the post-judgment order resolving the parties' motions for interest. Westbrook, J., concurring. Nos. 86961/87975 COA-BB/MG/DW | | 25-12938
