Rule 2.21 - Affidavits on motions(a) Factual contentions involved in any pretrial or post-trial motion must be initially presented and heard upon affidavits, unsworn declarations under penalty of perjury, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file. Oral testimony will not be received at the hearing, except upon the stipulation of parties and with the approval of the court, but the court may set the matter for a hearing at a time in the future and require or allow oral examination of the affiants/declarants to resolve factual issues shown by the affidavits/declarations to be in dispute. This provision does not apply to an application for a preliminary injunction pursuant to NRCP 65(a).(b) Each affidavit/declaration shall identify the affiant/declarant, the party on whose behalf it is submitted, and the motion or application to which it pertains and must be served and filed with the motion, opposition, or reply to which it relates.(c) Affidavits/declarations must contain only factual, evidentiary matter, conform with the requirements of NRCP 56(e), and avoid mere general conclusions or argument. Affidavits/declarations substantially defective in these respects may be stricken, wholly or in part.Nev. R. Prac. Eight Jud. Dist. Ct. 2.21
