Lemasters v. Univ. Medical Ctr. ( 2015 )


Menu:
  •                 appellant's injury appreciably manifested after the 2007 CT scan.          See
    Libby v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 130 Nev., Adv. Op. 39, 
    325 P.3d 1276
    ,
    1280 (2014) (explaining that NRS 41A.097(2)'s three-year statute of
    limitations period "begins to run once there is an appreciable
    manifestation of the plaintiffs injury"). Because it is possible that
    appellant's injury did not appreciably manifest until June 2010 and
    because we must draw all inferences in appellant's favor, we conclude that
    appellant's complaint should not have been dismissed under NRCP
    12(b)(5). See Buzz Stew, LLC v. City of N. Las Vegas,    
    124 Nev. 224
    , 227-
    28, 
    181 P.3d 670
    , 672 (2008) (explaining that this court conducts a de novo
    review of an NRCP 12(b)(5) dismissal order and presumes that all facts in
    the complaint are true and draws all inferences in favor of the complaint).
    Accordingly, we
    ORDER the judgment of the district court REVERSED AND
    REMAND this matter to the district court for proceedings consistent with
    this order.'

    1 Because  we reverse on these grounds, we need not address
    appellant's additional arguments. See Miller v. Burk, 
    124 Nev. 579
    , 588-
    89 & n.26, 
    188 P.3d 1112
    , 1118-19 & n.26 (2008) (explaining that this
    court need not address issues, even constitutional issues, if they are
    unnecessary to resolve the case at hand).
