    'Although the district court's finding that appellant had failed to
    make a good-faith effort to work out a payment arrangement with
    respondent before commencing the New York action was not a proper
    basis for setting aside the judgment, see Rosenstein u. Steele, 
    103 Nev. 571

    573, 
    747 P.2d 230
    , 231 (1987) (explaining that, under the Full Faith and
    Credit Clause of the United States Constitution, the courts of this state
    may not set aside a final judgment of a sister state "absent a showing of
    fraud, lack of due process or lack of jurisdiction in the rendering state"),
    we may affirm the judgment of the district court if it reached the right
    result, even if it did so for the wrong reason. See Sengel v. IGT,
