These are great topics but quick question first – starting Jan 21 I stopped getting efiling notices from district court. The emails don’t come at all – but all Tyler says (so far) is to check spam. They aren’t there, they aren’t anywhere and I usually get dozens a day. Anyone dealt with something like this before?
If the system gets too many undeliverable emails to an account, the account gets put on a blocked list and emails stop being sent to the attorney. We had an attorney who wasn’t getting any service from Odyssey but our tech support was able to talk to their tech support and get her off of the blocked list. She’s now getting her email notifications again.
Leigh Goddard, managing partner of McDonald Carano’s Reno office, said in a statement the firm is reviewing the issue. “We take our ethical obligations to our clients, the courts and the firm seriously and remain committed to upholding the highest professional standards,” Goddard said.
I mean, you’d guess that the partners of that firm likely had an idea of what was going on (whether the Partner and the judge, or the Partner and the associate) and didn’t decide to review it until it became international news.
Also – you have to question the judgment of a guy who is the managing partner of his office, on the executive committe, making either of these decisions
You guys, your jealousy is causing my eyes to roll so hard they are now permanently in the back of my head. Forget about this story. It’s ultimately nothing in the grand scheme of things–at least for all of the rest of us.
Are you kidding? It is a huge story that has made international news (notice the International Business Times citation above). Second Judicial District Court is having to audit every file that she touched as a judge or may have touched as a settlement judge. You already have over a decade of litigants who were not happy with their results (and in Family Court virtually everyone is unhappy) asking to have them reopened. This will be the biggest story in the State of Nevada for the entire year and it is only January 29th.
the NFL’s gamesmanship here is wild. Absent good cause, an anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss must be filed within 60 days of service of a complaint. I guess the NFL’s good cause here is, “we don’t like that every court keeps ruling against us”?? I hope the district court gets to drop the NRS 41.670(2) and (3) hammers to deter this sort of abuse of the anti-SLAPP law.
I don’t think Judge Hardy found it frivolous or vexatious. I certainly would have, as the motion was several months untimely by the NFL’s own admission.
Maybe on de novo review the NSC will find it frivolous or vexatious, assuming Gruden’s counsel raised those arguments in district court.

Carry a gun at a protest?
Maybe legal. But does it defy common sense to carry to an event that will be all about confrontation, knowing that emotions will run high? To do so when your purpose is to challenge law enforcement authority is just plain stupid.
I was not there so none of us know exactly what happened, but it seems excessive to me and likely a panic shooting when one officer shouted GUN/GUN. The victim was NOT legally carrying though and anyone who has done the course knows this. He had no ID with him. This is not a huge issue and did not lead to the shooting though. I do not think you should start fights with other armed people when you are armed either. That is not protesting. But the force applied was way excessive.
Lets just be clear that the internet statement “The victim was NOT legally carrying though and anyone who has done the course knows this. He had no ID with him” is completely apocryphal. They pump him full of bullets. And then come and rifle through his pockets and take everything out of his pockets. There is no evidence anywhere as to what he had or did not have in his pockets.

If police support your position (generally conservative), carrying a firearm to a protest is no problem.
In 2020 a group of about 60 people, many of them open carrying long guns, protested Sisolak’s covid orders. The protesters, who called themselves the Reopen Nevada Group, received a police escort to City Hall.
The news has come out this morning that it seems part of the reason that Pretti initially stood back when he was filming was that he had a broken rib from being pummeled by ICE last week, which also might have explained his discomfort at having six fat guys on his back.
Am I the only one who wants to hear the Bundy crowd’s thoughts on this matter? And, some logical consistency would be nice. State’s rights guy here.
The Bundy crowd had Metro and the Sheriff to look after them and prevent a massacre. It worked. The BLM would have blasted them. One of the Bundy guys was in fact killed by the BLM police.

You are wise, it was exactly this! To their credit i did solve it with one call that’s all. The email support was much less helpful though.
I’m glad it worked.

It’s still a small community. People know what is going on.
Who else is waiting for the Open House announcement for the new firm of Addison & Binau?
Or the invitation to party announcing Binau’s elevation to partner.
I would guess that she will get a very generous payout in exchange for leaving the firm and agreeing to never talk about this again.
I love the photos floating around of her arriving for an Order of the Coif presentation with her chihuahua in hand. So Elle Woods.

None of that is Binau’s fault.
@1:10, I think you mean “Baddison, LLP.”
@2:45, she’s certainly put in her dues. Sheesh.
It is the NFL attorneys that filed for an appeal, not Gruden’s. Makes sense, because for the NFL delay is victory. Gruden wants to get to discovery.

The second amendment is really more of a guideline than a rule. I think we can all agree our rights can be set aside or ignored absent due process.
11:18 means legal in the context of a “well regulated militia” I’m sure.
No, you are not sure. You clearly didn’t read the article clearly linked at the very beginning of today’s law blog.

Whole thing was on video. We know he was murdered without cause, bruv.
>none of us know exactly what happened
We do, it’s on video.
>He had no ID with him. This is not a huge issue and did not lead to the shooting though
100% right.
>I do not think you should start fights with other armed people when you are armed either.
He didn’t start a fight. He was helping a woman and ICE grabbed him, pushed him to the ground, and hit him in the head with a pepper spray can.
Lets just be clear that the internet statement “The victim was NOT legally carrying though and anyone who has done the course knows this. He had no ID with him” is completely apocryphal.

So he was an agitator, cool bro
I am okay with agitating against fascism and unchecked abuse. I am not okay with state-sponsored executions, hbu?
Agitators in Iran = heroes
Agitators in MN = asking for it
Not even remotely comparable…
how are they not comparable???
No it means that ICE was looking to finish the job.
