In reviewing the Unpublished Opinions this morning, there are eight resignations. What is the reason for resigning? Pipe Dream. Win the lottery. Surrender Nevada bar card and California bar card. Complete a sealed name change. Leave the country.
Yes, they chose to resign rather than to be “Inactive”. Their resignation is irrevocable and if they want to reinstate they would need to take the bar exam again. Yikes!!
Inactive lawyers pay annual dues; resigned lawyers do not. Kudos to these lawyers for having a clear understanding that they will never again want to practice law in the State of Nevada.
i recently became a parent to a newborn. i would have never understood the sales tax for diapers issues until now. i truly feel its a decent thing for the government to do. that or let us write off child health care costs completely. the fact that diapers tax exemption is already in place in CA and Texas shows this isnt even a partisan issue.
Sorry, but no. I had to pay taxes through multiple years of diapers. It’s only fair that you bear the burden of the taxes for your kids’ diapers and not ask non-diaper-buying taxpayers to pay for it. You got the benefit of those cute cheeks and new baby smell, right?
100% DISAGREE with diaper tax exemption. As someone who practices primarily family law, most of the custody cases I deal with are unwanted and/or unplanned pregnancies. Children are expensive. Hope the diaper tax makes men and women think twice before making a baby they may or may not really want.
You may deal with custody cases, but you obviously have no experience with pre-nut haze and post-nut clarity.
‘Cause you cant stop the motion of the ocean

That you can’t stop the beat!
I won a civil case before Judge Talim. Since it involves a large amount of money, the other side says they will appeal, and use as a ground that Judge Talim was unconsitutionally appointed. According to the other side, the selection committee, was suppose to sent the governor 3 names for him to consider and the committee only sent Talim’s name. HELP. Did the Judge have jurisdiction to enter my favorable order, if she was appointed in violation of the constitution? I’m freaked.
Nevada Const. Article 6 Section 20 When a vacancy occurs before the expiration of any term of office in the Supreme Court or the court of appeals or among the district judges, the Governor shall appoint a justice or judge from among three nominees selected for such individual vacancy by the Commission on Judicial Selection.
In this case only one person applied. The commission which is led by Chief Justice Cadish this year opted to submit this one name to the governor instead of technically complying with the 3 person rule. I expect they would argue that this was basically a 6 month appointment and it is hard to get people willing to submit a 50 page application with so much personal information for a job that you may lose in November election.
It will be interesting to see if your opponents succeed, but I would not be shocked if they do. These rules for filling vacancies are not being followed explicitly as demonstrated from what they have been doing this year. For fun, keep an eye on what happens with the new vacancy in Carson City.
I have no knowledge in this area but that won’t prevent me from posting. I don’t see how far back one can go to see if constitutional. For example what if the governor is found to have been elected unconstitutionally etc. will be interesting. That will be $600 please. I’m jokingggggg OBC
May her opponent win.
She has no business being on the judiciary doing civil dockets when only all criminal background. You got lucky with your favorable decision. The committee selectively appointed her based on her being “only” one submitting application when others submitted to Dept. 27 they could’ve used the rest to submit for Dept 14. She’s a Republican DA who is engaged to Robert Daskas who of course Lombardo was going to appoint.
She also has no business if and when docket becomes civil/criminal considering she’s in bed literally and figuratively with the A.D.A. Daskas. I see a pretty big conflict.
Please vote Alan Lefebvre for Dept 14 and bring civil bench back.
Exactly there were 2 other qualified people that they put before the gov for 27. no reason they couldn’t have included them for 14. would make sense to have a pool of applicants ready and they can pick the next in line if they want (of course double check they’re still interested).
No one else ran, can’t blame Judge Talim. I met her, she is very nice, super smart, and cares about the community. She can learn the civil docket. Just give her some time.
My heart surgeon who was psychiatrist last week is very nice, super smart, and cares about the community. He will learn on the job too; just give him some time.
Agreed. I’m thinking in terms of appellate jurisdiction, whether the issue was raised and preserved below and not waived or forfeited below. What would that have looked like? A motion to the sitting judge to determine whether she was properly appointed? I’m not sure that’s a proper vehicle. A motion to the chief judge? A collateral action challenging the judge’s right to hold office? Quo warranto? Would private litigants have had standing? Subject matter jurisdiction can be raised for the first time on appeal, but I don’t think this is a species of that sort of issue. The court has subject matter jurisdiction, but the person wielding the power of office might not properly be clothed with the powers of office.
From what I’m seeing here, the would-be appellant has a lot of hurdles to clear.
They intend to appeal a constitutional question to the Nevada Supreme Court which is chaired by the very person who chaired the Selection Committee. Let them waste the paper, ink and credibility on this argument.

Under the new proposed rules, retaking the exam would be a piece of cake.
100 questions, fewer topics, retake anytime, exam given 4 times per year.
That’s a fact!

Word is Telles solved the Collatz conjecture while sitting on the crapper in jail bc he was bored toying with the DA.
The RJ is the worst
How so?

Well played 12:54
Diapers? I just told the wife to hand wash the cloth ones.
You say that now but you’ll be needing your own diapers soon enough.
That is what I had kids for . . . . to change them.
100% DISAGREE with diaper tax exemption. As someone who practices primarily family law, most of the custody cases I deal with are unwanted and/or unplanned pregnancies. Children are expensive. Hope the diaper tax makes men and women think twice before making a baby they may or may not really want.
Why? They can just abort the baby! Nobody GAF about this taxa nd they certainly do not consider the sales tax on diapers before they get naked.
Just stop . . . . . .
lol, I can’t tell if this is delusion or trolling.

Taxation is theft.
Powerful legal analysis.
Not to mention formula.
I imagine that baby formula is considered food (its been over 20 years since we bought formula) and therefore untaxed.
Sorry, but if you can’t afford 8 cents per dollar sales tax for diapers, you shouldn’t be having children.

That makes too much sense.
Coffing to bring civil bench back too.
Absolutely!!!
Please spread the word for Lefebvre and Coffing
#bringbackcivilbench
No one else ran, can’t blame Judge Talim. I met her, she is very nice, super smart, and cares about the community. She can learn the civil docket. Just give her some time.
Ran for appointment? It got snubbed by the committee when there were several candidates that could’ve been used as overflow.
Ran now? There is…Alan Lefebvre…
Give her some time? The time in which she can cause attorney’s fees wrongfully? Cause any party increased costs via litigation or appeal?
Pshhhhh
My heart surgeon who was psychiatrist last week is very nice, super smart, and cares about the community. He will learn on the job too; just give him some time.
*Claps* *Dead* @6:43
>I won a civil case before Judge Talim.
Sounds like the other side consented to trying the case before Judge Talim? Isn’t that some sort of waiver?
Agreed. I’m thinking in terms of appellate jurisdiction, whether the issue was raised and preserved below and not waived or forfeited below. What would that have looked like? A motion to the sitting judge to determine whether she was properly appointed? I’m not sure that’s a proper vehicle. A motion to the chief judge?

PS: she has no business hearing a civil docket.
OH! But, just think of the billables.
“Of course we have a great shot on appeal. . . .”
I believe the smartest judge of them all Aileen Cannon has some powerful analysis that your opponents will properly rely on.
