Given the inclement weather in Carson City and health concerns related to the pandemic, counsel may appear in person in the Carson City or Las Vegas courtroom or by videoconference. At least one Justice will be in the Carson City and Las Vegas courtrooms. If counsel appears by videoconference, the court will use the BlueJeans videoconferencing system, which requires laptop/desktop/videoconferencing computer internet access and audio and video (web camera) capability. In case technical difficulties develop at any time, the court will conduct the oral argument by teleconference, which will require counsel to have immediate access to a landline phone connection. Counsel shall notify the clerk of court no later than 3:00 p.m. on December 14, 2021, if counsel intends to appear for oral argument by videoconference or in person and which courtroom. Counsel may notice the clerk of court by telephone at (775) 684-1600 or by email at nvscclerk@nvcourts.nv.gov. (SC)21-35578

The clerk shall remove John J. Savage as counsel of record for appellant/cross-respondent, and it appears appellant/cross-respondent will proceed pro se. Appellant/cross-respondent has submitted a pro se motion to extend time to file a petition for en banc reconsideration. The clerk of this court shall file the motion received on May 16, 2022, and the motion is granted. Appellant/cross-respondent shall have until June 13, 2022, to file and serve a petition for en banc reconsideration. If no petition is filed within this time period, the clerk shall issue the remittitur. Counsel for respondent/cross-appellant has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Accordingly, this court defers ruling on the motion. Counsel for respondent/cross-appellant shall have 7 days from the date of this order to provide proof of service of the motion to withdraw on respondent/cross-appellant. (SC).22-16157

07/14/2022Order/ProceduralFiled Order Denying Motion. On April 27, 2022, respondent/cross-appellant's counsel filed a motion to withdraw. Because the motion was not accompanied by proof of service on respondent/cross-appellant, this court entered an order on May 20, 2022, that deferred ruling on the motion and directed counsel to file proof of service of the motion within 7 days. Counsel was cautioned that failure to comply could result in the denial of the motion. To date, counsel has not provided this court with proof of service of the motion to withdraw. Accordingly, the motion is denied. (SC)22-22199
07/14/2022Post-Judgment OrderFiled Order Denying En Banc Reconsideration. Having considered the petition on file herein, we have concluded that en banc reconsideration is not warranted. NRAP 40A. Accordingly, we "ORDER the petition DENIED." EN BANC (SC)22-22281

Appellant/cross-respondent mailed a motion to stay issuance of the remittitur pending the filing of a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court on August 8, 2022. The motion is therefore construed as a motion to recall and stay issuance of the remittitur. Cause appearing, the motion is granted to the following extent. The clerk of this court shall recall the remittitur. Issuance of the remittitur is stayed until December 7, 2022. If the clerk of this court receives written notice by December 7, 2022, from the clerk of the United States Supreme Court that appellant/cross-respondent has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, the stay shall continue in effect until final disposition of the certiorari proceedings. If such notice is not received by December 7, 2022, the clerk shall issue the remittitur. (SC)22-26956
