“The district court instead sought to do precisely what it lacked authority to do — reopen consideration of an issue specifically resolved by this court on appeal and seek new evidence, materially deviating from this court’s mandate…. The district court [Judge Ballou] manifestly abused its discretion by clearly erring in interpreting this court’s mandate, and it capriciously exercised its discretion by acting contrary to well established rules of law.”
No but the Nevada Supreme Court will ram judicial discipline proceedings through pretty quickly to remove the judge. And then LVPPA will contribute to all of their campaigns.
Having a judge who is too incompetent to run any civil cases is wild enough. Now, she simply refuses to apply the law in criminal cases running up taxpayer costs with appeals, judicial oversight, etc. I’m over her, boot her already.
She reminds me of a kindergarten teacher who has lost control of the classroom. If you feel like you have to be constantly reprimanding people, something isn’t working right.
The crazy thing is that I belive Kishner is really smart and generally understands the issues really well, but she repeatedly gets sidetracked on minor procedural issues. I was involved in a hearing where she wasted nearly 45 minutes grilling each attorney to see if and when they filed a Notice of Remote Appearance. The entire time she was complainting about how busy her calendar was and that she had a trial waiting to start. It was insanity.
She has wasted untold resources on this since the pandemic. On stuff like this, she comes off as a self-righteous bully, which is too bad because if you look past this, she is a great judge.
She doesn’t come across that way. That’s who she is. It’s time to take her off business court. She makes those cases more complicated than they already are by injecting her stupid procedural games into them.
I routinely attend the Business Court Bench/Bar and laugh each month at how Kishner is sort of off on her own. The other judges are collegial and friendly and she keeps up her stern schoolmarm demeanor.

Could someone answer this question, Joe Houston had multiple wives. I know he divorced his first wife to marry a younger woman. Where does Katharine (“Kelly”) fit in all of this? Was she the first wife or the third wife or another wife? Is she the mother of Dylan or a stepmother?
Thanks!!!
So she must be the second wife. When I met him in 1979 he was married and then divorced and married a younger woman. That must have been Katharine aka Kelly.
Ok this is weird. The child support case is with Karen Zorn for a child born during his current marriage to another woman with the same last name as his wife’s maiden name. To me, it looks like, he fathered a child with a relative of his wife, during his marriage. Wow!
As I look deeper into this, it looks like this is a child support order for his niece. He and Katherine Kelly (his wife) were the petitioners against Karen Zorn (possibly sister of wife) and Benjamin Elliot (father of niece who was also denying paternity).
There is a Karen Zorn and a Katharine Zorn. Did he marry sisters? He is mentioned in their brothers obituary.Karen owed him $17,800 in child support for a daughter.
no– Kathrine Kelly Zorn is the maiden name of his current wife. Janice Jaggers was his first wife who he married in 1970. Clark County Marriage records are online and public.
Thank you. I knew he had a first wife who came from a prominent family. Did he have child custody battle with her? He told me about a custody case which he lost. He was very disappointed.

Wow looks like Judge Henderson unsealed the whole case
There’s an article in the online R-J this morning, Saturday, April 20, about info obtained from that file. My guess is that that file will provide lots of information for lots of stories.

This morning, April 20, 2024, the R-J is running a story about the info obtained from the Houston-Prince custody battle court file, which has been unsealed by Judge Bill Henderson. I’m sure there’s a lot of info in that file from the two plus year custody battle. My guess is that Dylan and Joe Houston will come across as jerks. I also think Judge Henderson will suffer as his decisions and demeanor in this nightmare case receive more scrutiny.
I know you have posters saying the types of emails Dylan sent Dennis and Ashley are normal but having practiced in family court for decades they were off the charts horrendous. I once told Hardcastle when he was on the bench a husband told his wife she looked like a beached whale and Hardcadtle told me never to repeat that mean quote again. How does one find Dylan’s texts par for the course ?
Respectfully disagree. 23+ years at family court and former clerk down there. Although exaggerating to say par for course it is not unusual. You cannot imagine the depths to which people sink.
Records show Dylan told Ashley to move to Oregon so she could be euthanized.

Does this SCOTUS decision open the flood gates to sue the heck out of D.I.E. mandates? I might look into developing an employment discrimination practice.
That’s great, but this kind of thing discourages the candid conversation that we ought to encourage (Mom expressing love and support for a child with an alleged drug addiction).
Noooooo Tay Tay references hahaha I can’t get away!
Re: ghost gun law. It was challenged as vague – was there (or will there be) a 2nd amendment challenge as well?
There’s a separate 2nd Amendment challenge going on in fed court.
The Ballou case is wild. Nevada Supreme Court says defendant back to prison, and Ballou has effectively said no.
“Get money, go hard, you’re motherfucking right.”
Yeah they didn’t mince words:
“The district court instead sought to do precisely what it lacked authority to do — reopen consideration of an issue specifically resolved by this court on appeal and seek new evidence, materially deviating from this court’s mandate…. The district court [Judge Ballou] manifestly abused its discretion by clearly erring in interpreting this court’s mandate, and it capriciously exercised its discretion by acting contrary to well established rules of law.”
I’m just a dumb franchisee chain GC but what happens when a judge refuses? Will police follow NSC? I’m confused.
No but the Nevada Supreme Court will ram judicial discipline proceedings through pretty quickly to remove the judge. And then LVPPA will contribute to all of their campaigns.
They can order the case assigned to a different judge.
After Herndon’s comments, that clearly will be the next step.
What can we expect from an activist DEI judge?

Kishner rebukes people? Say it isn’t so, Joe.
Probably 80% of the posters here who have appeared in front of her have been rebuked at some point.
I got summoned from counsel table during trial to approach and be reprimanded once. Lesson learned.
She reminds me of a kindergarten teacher who has lost control of the classroom. If you feel like you have to be constantly reprimanding people, something isn’t working right.

Do u laugh that loud Jim Carrey laugh like in pet detective?
Why did Justice Abbi Silver leave the SC? and now back on gaming commission. Weird. Any thoughts?
Husband’s health is what I was told.

She acts like the problem was that Dennis was not “civil” enough. She describes Joe as “jovial”. Until he pulled out the gun.
Both could be true. But she is also representing a client with an interest in how this plays out

I thought they had been married for 40 years?
There was someone in the middle. He also went through his own child custody battle. He told me about it.
I just checked County records. They married in 1981.
So she must be the second wife. When I met him in 1979 he was married and then divorced and married a younger woman. That must have been Katharine aka Kelly.
Karen Zorn first wife they had the custody case.
In 2013 he owed her $17,000 in child support arrears.
That is incorrect. She owed him $17,800 in arrearages.
No, his first wife was Janice. Zorn is the maiden name of his current wife.

They took in her sisters children
There is a Karen Zorn and a Katharine Zorn. Did he marry sisters? He is mentioned in their brothers obituary.Karen owed him $17,800 in child support for a daughter.
Did he have a baby by Karen Zorn the sister of current wife Katharine Zorn aka Kelly?
Katherine Zorn is the maiden name of the woman mentioned here, married 40 years and mother to Dylan
Karen Zorn was first wife.
no– Kathrine Kelly Zorn is the maiden name of his current wife. Janice Jaggers was his first wife who he married in 1970. Clark County Marriage records are online and public.

Well he provided the file to the RJ, but I just tried to look at the case and it still appears sealed to me.
Correct. I’m sure there will be plenty of articles from the RJ

I meant emails and texts
Did she look like that though?
Respectfully disagree. 23+ years at family court and former clerk down there. Although exaggerating to say par for course it is not unusual. You cannot imagine the depths to which people sink.
From what I have read, Dylan’s e-mails or texts do not seem normal. They seem depraved, threatening, and outrageously improper.
They’re not unusual for family court.
Records show Dylan told Ashley to move to Oregon so she could be euthanized.

Imagine writing your son a candid, heart felt letter, only to have it published, years later, on the front page of the R-J.

I’m all for transparency, but there is an aura of “ick” with all this paraded out in public.
Why is his private correspondence with his mother in Ashley’s hands?
Its called family court. All is fair in love, war and family court.
That’s great, but this kind of thing discourages the candid conversation that we ought to encourage (Mom expressing love and support for a child with an alleged drug addiction).
