L.V. Review-Journal v. Clark Cty. Coroner

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court held that the district court inadequately explained its nearly 40% reduction of the Las Vegas Review-Journal's requested attorney fees and costs. It affirmed the portion of the award already granted, vacated the unexplained reduction, and remanded for specific findings concerning additional reasonable fees and costs. The court also held that the governing public-records fee statute authorized recovery of reasonable fees incurred defending agency appeals and that dismissal of a prior appeal did not preclude the fee request under law-of-the-case principles.
