Urias (brandon) v. Dist. Ct. (state) (criminal)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court granted Urias's petition for a writ of certiorari and held that NRS 484E.040 applies only to highways, not to private parking lots. Consequently, the justice court lacked subject‑matter jurisdiction to convict Urias for the hit‑and‑run in a Walmart parking lot, and the district court's denial of his appeal was vacated and remanded. The decision resolves a split among lower courts on the statutory scope of traffic‑related misdemeanors.
