Nev. Sup. Ct. R. 119

As amended through June 26, 2024
Rule 119 - Additional Rules of Procedure
1.Record. The record of a hearing shall be made available to the respondent at the respondent’s expense on request made to bar counsel.
2.Failure to answer. Failure to answer a filed complaint shall constitute an admission of the factual allegations.
3.Failure to appear. If the respondent fails to appear when specifically so ordered by a disciplinary panel, then the respondent shall be deemed to have admitted the factual allegations that were to be the subject of such appearance or conceded to any motion or recommendations to be considered at such appearance. The disciplinary panel shall not, absent good cause, continue or delay proceedings due to the respondent’s failure to appear.
4.Time limits not jurisdictional. Except as is otherwise provided in these rules, time is directory and not jurisdictional. Time limitations are administrative, not jurisdictional. Failure to observe directory time intervals may result in contempt of the appropriate disciplinary board or hearing panel having jurisdiction but will not justify abatement of any disciplinary investigation or proceeding.
5.Other rules of procedure. Except as otherwise provided in these rules and the rules of the disciplinary procedure established pursuant to SCR105(4), the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure and the Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure apply in disciplinary cases.
