Case Synopsis
The Supreme Court of Nevada determined that 62C.230’s incorporation of NRS 62C.200(1)(b)’s prosecutorial-consent requirement does not violate the separation of powers doctrine because (1) the juvenile court’s authority is solely statutorily derived and (2) dismissal and referral of a juvenile for informal supervision under NRS 62C.230 does not constitute an exercise of the juvenile court’s sentencing discretion. Moreover, the Court determined that I.S.’s appeal here was not moot because there is a presumption of collateral consequences under a juvenile delinquency adjudication until the juvenile reaches age 18 and/or their juvenile record is sealed.
