As amended through October 9, 2024
Rule 5.503 - Motion, opposition, countermotion, and reply content(a) Every motion, opposition, countermotion, and reply shall include points and authorities supporting each position asserted and an affidavit supporting all factual averments. Points and authorities lacking citation to relevant authority, or consisting of bare citations to statutes, rules, or case authority, do not comply with this rule. The absence or deficiency of points and authorities may be construed as an admission that the filing is not meritorious, or as cause for denial of all positions not supported.(b) Failure of an opposing party to serve and file a written opposition may be construed as an admission that the motion is meritorious and a consent that it be granted.(c) An opposition that contains a motion related to the same subject matter will be considered as a countermotion.(d) Citations to decisions of the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals of the State of Nevada shall include the citation to Nevada Reports and 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 shall 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 shall be given. When a decision of a 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 shall be given.Added effective 1/27/2017; amended effective 6/10/2022.
