Case Synopsis

In an opinion drafted by Justice Hardesty, the Nevada Supreme Court considered whether district courts must apply the Yochum factors when determining if an NRCP 60(b)(1) motion has established, by a preponderance of the evidence, that sufficient grounds exist to set aside a final judgment, order, or proceeding. The Court concluded that the Yochum factors must be applied to any NRCP 60(b)(1) motion, not just those involving a default judgment, to determine if the movant established excusable neglect.
