Nevada case paths

I was served with a lawsuit

Twenty-one days (45 for the State; +3 by mail, +0 through the EFS) — and silence ADMITS the allegations you fail to deny (8(b)(6)).

I'm considering filing

The 6/4/3/2 ladder runs first; then serve within 120 days of filing or dismissal is MANDATORY (NRCP 4(e)).

A money case at or under $100,000

Mandatory nonbinding arbitration in the ADR B-1 districts — the 30-day de novo exit is JURISDICTIONAL, and bad-faith participation waives it.

Suing a government body

Present the claim FIRST (within 2 years, to the AG or the governing body); the award ceiling is $200,000 with no punitives (NRS 41.031-41.036).

An HOA / CC&R dispute

No CC&R action may be COMMENCED before mediation — and a court SHALL DISMISS one commenced in violation. The 60-day window runs first.

The discovery fight

Discovery starts itself in Nevada — and the conferral certification fronts every compel motion (NRCP 37(a)(1)).

Eviction papers (either side)

Summary-eviction windows run in JUDICIAL DAYS (the seventh judicial day on nonpayment, NRS 40.253) — a different day-type from every other clock; justice court owns the docket.

After judgment

Thirty days from SERVICE of written notice of entry (NRAP 4(a)); an unsuperseded judgment is enforceable meanwhile, and the judgment renews only in the 90-day window (NRS 17.214).
