(a) To What Proceedings Applicable. These rules do not govern procedure and practice in any special statutory proceeding insofar as they are inconsistent or in conflict with the procedure and practice provided by the applicable statute. Where the applicable statute provides for procedure under the former statutes governing civil actions, such procedure shall be in accordance with these rules. Appeals from a district court to the Supreme Court of Nevada, and applications for extraordinary writs in the Supreme Court are governed by the Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure. [As amended; effective July 1, 1973.] (b) Reserved. (c) Removed Actions. Whenever a cause shall have been removed from a state court to a United States court, and thereafter remanded, judgment by default shall not be entered therein until the expiration of 10 days after service of written notice upon defendants that the order remanding such cause has been filed. Within such time the defendants may move or plead as they might have done had such cause not been removed. [As amended; effective January 1, 2005.] (d) Reserved. (e) Reserved. (f) Reserved.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE UNAFFECTED These rules shall not be construed to extend or limit the jurisdiction of the district courts or the venue of actions therein. RULE 83. RULES BY DISTRICT COURTS Each district court by action of a majority of the judges thereof may from time to time make and amend rules governing its practice not inconsistent with these rules. Copies of rules and amendments so made by any district court shall upon their promulgation be furnished to the Supreme Court, but shall not become effective until 60 days after approval by the Supreme Court and publication or as otherwise ordered by the Supreme Court. In all cases not provided for by rule, the district courts may regulate their practice in any manner not inconsistent with these rules.
