The award of postjudgment interest awarded to Chapman was also reversed.

The Nevada Supreme Court removed Middleton’s appointed appellate counsel due to substandard representation.

Summary Of Lobato V. State, 120 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 57, Keith Brown
Summary Of Lobato V. State, 120 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 57, Keith Brown
Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
District court convictions for first-degree murder and sexual penetration of a dead body reversed and case remanded for new trial. Trial court’s exclusion of extrinsic evidence to prove potential bias of State’s witness against Defendant was reversible error, not harmless error. Although a trial court had broad discretion to control cross-examination attacking a witness’s credibility, that discretion was narrowed when bias or motive was to be shown. Unless materially related to the case and admissible on other grounds, extrinsic evidence of prior bad acts or inconsistent statements is always collateral and, therefore, inadmissible to attack credibility. But, extrinsic evidence to …

District court’s order setting aside default judgment against hotel-Respondent affirmed. An order setting aside a default judgment was appealable as a special order under Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure (NRAP) 3A(b)(2)2. The trial court’s determination of excusable neglect under Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure (NRCP) 60(b)(2)3 was not a proper basis upon which to grant relief from the default judgment, but a trial court’s exercise of discretion to deny or grant a motion to set aside a default judgment under NRCP 60(b)(1) on the grounds of mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect will not be disturbed upon appeal, absent an …
