Case Synopsis

In an en banc decision, the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed district court orders denying relief under Nevada Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). The Court held that, for the purposes of NRCP 60(b)(5), orders of dismissal do not apply “prospectively” because an order of dismissal does not have continuing consequences that warrant equitable relief when dismissed with prejudice. The Court also affirmed the denial of motions under NRCP 60(b)(1) and NRCP 60(b)(6), holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion because there was substantial evidence in the record to support the findings.
