NEVADA RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE ADOPTED BY THE SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA ____________ Effective July 1, 1973 and Including Rules Current Through January 1, 2006 PREFACE ____________ Pursuant to its rule-making powers (NRS 2.120), the Supreme Court of Nevada in 1970 appointed the undersigned Committee to study that part of the Supreme Court Rules governing practice and procedure in the Supreme Court, and to propose amendments or revision. On January 24, 1972, the Committee submitted to the Court a report of its activities and recommended adoption of a complete revision of the rules governing practice and procedure, to be known as Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure. The Court referred back to the Committee certain minor amendments which were then integrated into the proposed draft. The format of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure was chosen as particularly harmonious with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (governing practice and procedure in the lower courts), the latter having been adopted earlier and successfully used in Nevada. Also convenient to the lawyer is the similarity of these rules to those in use in the U.S. Courts of Appeals. The federal numbering system is preserved to facilitate research and amendment. In the opinion of the Committee, the bar should experience little difficulty in transition from practice under SCR to practice under these rules.

Hill, Chairman AMENDED ORDERS ADOPTING NEVADA RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE ____________ Pursuant to the appellate authority vested in this Court by Section 4 of Article 6 of the Constitution of the State of Nevada, and the rule-making authority vested in this Court by NRS 2.120, the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada has adopted new rules governing appellate practice before this Court, and has heretofore on March 7, 1973, entered an order adopting such rules and directing their publication. Said order of March 7, 1973, is amended and superceded by this order. Good cause appearing,
