08/16/2024Order/ProceduralFiled Order Denying Motions for Stay and to Augment Record on Appeal. Appellants/petitioners have filed motions for stay of the order pending appeal and to augment the record. Respondents/real parties in interest oppose the motions, and appellants/petitioners have filed replies. Upon review of the matter under the Nelson v. Heer factors, the district court conditioned a stay on appellants/petitioners posting a supersedeas bond for the full amount of the award. Appellants'/petitioners' motion to this court, however, discusses the NRAP 8(c) factors and asks this court to waive the supersedeas bond requirement without addressing the appropriate factors or demonstrating why the district court abused its discretion in refusing to waive the bond requirement. They thus have not shown that the district court abused its discretion when it conditioned a stay upon posting a full supersedeas bond. Accordingly, we deny appellants' motion for a stay without bond pending appeal. Motion to augment record on appeal: This court will not take judicial notice of facts in a different case unless a valid reason for doing so is demonstrated. At this time, we decline to take judicial notice of the documents attached to appellants'/petitioners' motion and thus deny the motion to augment the record, subject to reconsideration if the court determines the records are necessary to its review after briefing is completed. fn1[In light of this order, we deny as moot appellants' August 14, 2024, motion for an immediate decision on their motion for stay.] Nos. 88503/88616 A24-DH/PL/LB (SC)24-29232

12/23/2024Order/ProceduralFiled Order Granting Motion for Reconsideration and Denying Motion for Stay. Appellants/petitioners assert that, although their stay motion did not directly address the Nelson v. Heer factors, 121 Nev. 832, 835-36, 122 P.3d 1252, 1253-54 (2005), pertinent information was nevertheless included, and they point to arguments they made therein. Accordingly, we grant the motion to reconsider the stay motion. However, based on the information before us, we ultimately conclude that appellants/petitioners have not shown that the district court abused its discretion when it conditioned a stay upon posting a full supersedeas bond. The decision regarding the bond amount or other security is within the district court's discretion. Having considered the parties' arguments, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to waive a full bond. Accordingly, we decline to impose a stay without bond.
