Date of Hearing:
Time of Hearing:
(6) If the paper to be filed is a response, reply or other document related to a matter which has already been set for hearing but not yet heard, the time and date of the hearing shall appear immediately below the title of the paper.
(d) All exhibits attached to pleadings or papers must be 8 1/2 inches x 11 inches in size. Exhibits which are smaller must be affixed to a blank sheet of paper of the appropriate size. Exhibits which are larger than 8 1/2 x 11 inches must be reduced to 8 1/2 x 11 inches or must be folded so as to measure 8 1/2 x 11 inches in size. All exhibits attached to pleadings or papers must clearly show the exhibit number at the bottom or on the right side. Plaintiffs must use numerical designations and defendants must use alphabetical designations. Copies of exhibits must be clearly legible and not unnecessarily voluminous. Original documents must be retained by counsel for introduction as exhibits at the time of a hearing or at the time of trial rather than attached to pleadings.
(e) When a decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada is cited, the citation to Nevada Reports must be given together with the citation to West’s Pacific Reporter and the year of the decision. Whenever a decision of an appellate court of any other state is cited, the citation to West’s Regional Reporter System must be given together with the state and the year of decision. When a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States is cited, at least one parallel citation and year of decision must be given. When a decision of the court of appeals or of a district court or other court of the United States has been reported in the Federal Reporter System, that citation, court and year of decision must be given.
(f) The clerk must not accept for filing any pleadings or documents which do not comply with this rule, but for good cause shown, the court may permit the filing of noncomplying pleadings and documents. Paragraph (a), except as to the size of paper, and paragraph (c) of this rule do not apply to printed forms furnished by the clerk, the district attorney or the public defender.
[Amended; effective May 1, 1996.]
Rule 7.21. Preparation of order, judgment or decree. The counsel obtaining any order, judgment or decree must furnish the form of the same to the clerk or judge in charge of the court within 10 days after counsel is notified of the ruling, unless additional time is allowed by the court.
Rule 7.22. Nunc pro tunc orders.
(a) If, through any inadvertence, an order or decree fails to state the order actually made by the court, and such inadvertence is brought to the attention of the court by petition, or on its own motion, the court may make a nunc pro tunc order correcting the mistake.
(b) The nunc pro tunc order must be in the form of an amended order, and must bear the caption “Amended Order of . . . .” The body of the amended order must be identical to the order being changed, except for the change itself, and conclude with the language substantially as follows: “This is a nunc pro tunc order correcting the prior order of . . . dated . . . .”
The form of the amended order must be accompanied by a verified petition, or affidavit of counsel, specifying the change and the reasons therefor. If the order sought to be amended is of many pages in length, the court may consider a document captioned “Amendment to Order of . . . .” which addresses the change alone, together with a sufficient recitation to identify that change, and conclude with language substantially as follows: “This is a nunc pro tunc order correcting the prior order of . . . dated . . . .” The form of amendment to the order must be accompanied by a verified petition, or an affidavit of counsel, specifying the reasons therefor.
(c) The original order is not to be physically changed, but is to be used in connection with the nunc pro tunc order correcting it. To prevent further errors, a complete clause or sentence should be stricken, even if the amendment is intended to correct only one word or a single figure.
Rule 7.23. Designation of papers by parties. Every document presented to a judge for signature, including orders, findings, conclusions and judgments, and every paper presented for filing, must bear the signature, name, office address and telephone number of counsel or, if unrepresented, the party presenting or filing the same. This requirement may be met by including the information at the end of the document.
Rule 7.24. Filing orders. Any order, judgment or decree which has been signed by a judge must be filed with the clerk of the court promptly. No attorney may withhold or delay the filing of any such order, judgment or decree for any reason, including the nonpayment of attorney’s fees.
Rule 7.25. Orders extending time; notice to opposing party. No order, made on ex parte application, granting or extending the time to file any paper or do any act is valid for any purpose in case of objection, unless a copy thereof is served upon the opposing party not later than the end of the next judicial day.
Rule 7.26. Courtesy copies for the court. The court administrator shall maintain suitable boxes in an appropriate location for each department of the court in which courtesy copies of motions, affidavits, points and authorities, or other papers may be deposited. Attorneys are requested to leave courtesy copies of any paper filed within 5 days of a hearing at which the paper may be considered. The boxes must also be used to deliver courtesy copies of any other filed material which a party wishes the court to receive in advance of a trial or hearing. Courtesy copies must indicate the date of any hearing to which they pertain.
[Amended; effective October 13, 2005.]
Rule 7.27. Filing of civil trial memoranda. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, an attorney may elect to submit to the court in any civil case, a trial memoranda of points and authorities prior to the commencement of trial by delivering one unfiled copy to the court, without serving opposing counsel or filing the same, provided that the original trial memoranda of points and authorities must be filed and a copy must be served upon opposing counsel at or before the close of trial.
Rule 7.28. Custody and withdrawal of papers, records and exhibits.
(a) The Clerk of the Court has custody of the records and papers of the court. The clerk may not permit any original record, paper or exhibit to be taken from the court, judge’s chambers or from the clerk’s office, except at the direction of the court or as provided by statute or these rules.
(b) Papers, records or exhibits belonging to the files of the court may be temporarily withdrawn from the office and custody of the clerk for a limited time upon the special order of the judge, specifying the record, paper or exhibit, and limiting the time the same may be retained. A receipt must be given for any paper, record or exhibit so withdrawn from the files.
