Random, but does anyone know why John Huck left Fox 5? His was the only local news broadcast I would watch.

He was the best anchor in Vegas by a mile. Vegas local TV news is so bad, especially when you compare it to comparable cities (in size) like Salt Lake. Huck was one of the few bright spots.

Vital Vegas is trash. Let me know when someone half way reputable has information and not innuendo.

I have an unusual situation in a case, and was wondering if my colleagues had any insight…

P files suit against Ds. D1 files a (compulsory) counterclaim. A few months later, P’s case is dismissed without prejudice. Normally, P could file a new suit. But here, P’s case against D1 would be a compulsory counterclaim under NRCP 13, just as D1’s was. So is P shit outta luck, at least with respect to D1?

Another interesting civpro question…

Let’s say P sues D, and D counterclaims against P. Then the P vs. D case is dismissed, before an ECC/Trial Scheduling Order. Does D/CC then assume all responsibilities that would normally be P’s? Also, is there a way to amend the case so they stop being “counter” claims and just become normal claims?

It’s been so long since I have done one. But I think you can bring a motion to amend or supplement the pleadings, Rule 15.

QUESTION: we settled a case for a minor and need to set up blocked account. Mother of minor keeps missing her appointments to go to the bank and set up the blocked account. Can the attorney set up an account at WELLS FARGO for the child without the mother?

My reading of NRS 41.200(5) requires the parent or guardian to set up the blocked account if the proceeds going to the minor are more than $2,500.00. So, you may need to do a guardianship if the parent won’t cooperate.

I called Wells Fargo and they said if you got a court order saying the attorney could set it up they would honor the order.

I don’t see the problem with euthanasia. Our young people can only be enriched by exposure to a culture so different than our own.

Euthanasia seems to be peak Darwinism.
