In Re: Pub. Records Request to Las Vegas Metro. Police Dep't

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of the police department’s Judicial Confirmation Law petition because the department is not a municipality with a qualifying governing body under that law. The court also held that the Nevada Public Records Act required the department to follow its mandatory disclosure procedures rather than seek declaratory relief, making amendment futile. The court further affirmed dismissal of Mayorga’s answer and counterclaim because there was no proper proceeding to answer, she was not an opposing party, and issue preclusion barred relitigation of the privilege determination.
