08/10/2022	Motion	Filed Proposed Intervenor Justin Martin's Notice of Intent to Seek Intervention. (SC)		22-25073
08/22/2022	Order/Procedural	Filed Order. The Las Vegas Review Journal (RJ) has filed a motion to intervene in this original writ petition. Respondent moves to stay briefing on that motion to intervene, as well as any other such motion that may be filed by other parties, pending this court's determination regarding whether to order an answer to the petition. The RJ opposes the motion, as do Ali Shahrokhi and T. Matthew Phillips, who have filed a notice of intention to seek intervention. The motion to stay briefing on the motion to intervene is denied. Respondent shall have 7 days from the date of this order to file and serve any opposition to the motion to intervene. Attached to Shahrokhi's and Phillips's opposition is a separate motion for judicial notice. The clerk shall detach that motion from the opposition and file it separately. The parties and RJ shall have 7 days from the date of this order to file and serve any opposition to the motion for judicial notice. (SC)		22-26098

08/23/2022	Order/Procedural	Filed Order Directing Answer. Respondent shall have 28 days from the date of this order within which to file and serve an answer. Petitioner may file and serve any reply within 14 days from the date when the answer is served. This matter raises issues similar to those asserted in Falconi v. Eighth Judicial District Court (Minter), Docket No. 85195, and thus, upon completion of briefing, these cases may be clustered to ensure that they are resolved in a consistent and efficient manner. fn1[The Las Vegas Review Journal has moved to intervene in this matter, proposing to file an original petition supporting its position that strict scrutiny of the rules is required under the First Amendment and that the certain statutes governing related court-access issues are unconstitutional. Having reviewed the motion, it is denied; however, nothing in this order precludes the Las Vegas Review Journal from filing a separate petition should it deem doing so warranted. Nonparties Ali Shahrokhi and T. Matthew Phillips' request for judicial notice is denied. The briefing schedule for these motions set forth in the court's August 22, 2022, order is vacated as moot.] (SC)		22-26231
