Valley Health Sys., LLC v. Murray

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court held that the Nevada Constitution permits both the governor to designate lower-court judges and the chief justice to assign senior justices as temporary substitutes when supreme court justices are disqualified. Because the constitutional provisions can be harmonized and the chief justice's authority encompasses assignment of senior justices to the supreme court, the court overruled the objection to the assignments and denied the motion for gubernatorial replacements.
