On January 2, the Eighth Judicial District Court issued f requiring a minute order and a a formal “written” order should issue after every contested legal matter — Wasn’t that already the practice? Court may or may not issue a ruling from the bench, then we wait for the minute order to incorporate to some degree in the written order and submit? Or are some chambers just allowing the minute order to stand.
My understanding that a bench oral decision or order must be followed up with a written order or written decision. At least that was what I was instructed when sitting as a Pro Tem.
I can certainly say not every hearing I attend gets a minute order. Haven’t paid that much attention but it’s not an insubstantial amount of the time, either.
Doesn’t this only apply to criminal cases?
It equally applies to civil matters. See NRAP 3A(b); NRAP 4(a)(1); see also Rust v. CCSD, 103 Nev. 686, 689 (1987) (“An oral pronouncement of judgment is not valid for any purpose, NRCP 58(c); therefore, only a written judgment has any effect, and only a written judgment may be appealed.”)
re: Colorado River
No matter what the politicians say (yes, the commissioners are political), there will never be enough water from the river for everyone.
In LV, we have drawn down the lake, the aquifer and slogans aside, ripping out grass will not allow for future growth/needs.
Someone is going to have to build a straw to the Pacific with a desalination plant.
We also need to stop farming in Utah and Arizona. It’s not necessary and it uses more water than ten times as many houses would. Farmers like to pretend like its suburbia that is the problem, but its really old timers flood irrigating alfalfa fields up and down the I-15 in Utah.
With the exception of a very short section of I-15 through St. George, the farmers along I-15 are in the Great Basin, no the Colorado River drainage. Alfalfa farmers in the Holden Fillmore Beaver area have nothing to do with our water situation. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk on basic western geography.
Truth, it’s all part of the Central Utah Water Project. Utah is the savior here, not the scapegoat
This take sucks and is pointless.
Utah has plenty of its own water, 95% of which comes from snowfall runoff. They dont need a 23% allocation of the Upper Basin;s share of the Colorado River, but then again, they use about 41.2% less than they are entitled to.
Utah is NOT the problem.
California is, Arizona is and YES, Mexico is a huge taker. Nevada takes 1.8% of the total, barely any, all things considered.
Agriculture uses much more water than residential.
Objection. Nonresponsive.
For the vast majority, Utah uses its OWN water. . . . . and NOT water that would refill Lake Mead.
Except they want to run a canal from Lake powel to st. George.
Yeah, St. George is in the Colorado River basin, unlike most of the rest of the farmers and population in Utah. Why is it so hard to understand this? Holden Fillmore Beaver is in the Great Basin, St. George is in the Colorado River basin.
Now, if you want to start shitting on all the people in St. George who have lush, expansive lawns, I’m right there with you, it’s ridiculous, especially when we’re down here ripping out the little bit of grass we have left.
Oh Logandale/Overton/Moapa farmers that also flood irrigate.
Stop complaining and buy their rights.
The discussion was UTAH, now you are changing the focus to fit your narrative. Typical bad lawyer.
I am not the poster above lambasting Utah. In fact my point was that we cannot point the finger at Utah farmers for what Nevada farmers also do. Typical bad lawyer.
Clark County is the most responsible user of the Colorado River and receives a tiny allotment. The Inland Empire and Arizona both need to stop using Colorado River water to grow alfalfa to sell to the middle east.
There are many offenders among Colorado River users. I am tired of lectures about the Bellagio Fountains. Our local politicians should do more to call out the other users.
New Desal plant . . . . . the largest in the world is in Saudi Arabia and cost $7.2 billion
That is way less than Somali Daycare subsidies.
Where do you put all the salt?
Back into the ocean is cheapest. Evaporation ponds is second best.
Dumping it backin the ocean isn’t environmentally feasible. I’d be fine with it, but there’s no way that gets approved.
Beg pardon. San Diego gets a significant amount of its water from a couple of desalination plants. Approved by the CA Costal Commission.
The best use of thick, salty water is to cool nuclear rods for the power plant built next to the desalination plant. 2-4-1, power and clean water. Good luck getting the California Communists to approve it.
We have a potential Reply All Apocalypse forming. Right now it’s just a tropical storm, but this could take off by the end of the day. I would love to see the fury of a Cat 3 or higher Reply All storm.
And now for something completely different:
