Nevada Supreme Court

Clark County v. 6635 W Oquenda LLC

March 14, 2024140 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 15

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court held that a governmental entity is not a "person" entitled to bring an anti-SLAPP special motion to dismiss under NRS 41.660. Applying the plain meaning of NRS 0.039, the court concluded that the statute excludes governments, governmental agencies, and political subdivisions, and that neither NRS 41.660's text nor context creates an exception. The court affirmed the denial of Clark County's motion.
