Wolverton v. Carvalho C/W 61530 ( 2013 )

  •                 issue in Docket No. 58181, appellant not only continued to pursue that
    appeal, but she also filed the underlying complaint—a complaint that
    appellant acknowledges is substantively "repetitive" to that filed in Docket
    No. 58181. Thus, the district court correctly perceived that appellant was
    contemporaneously pursuing two separate lawsuits that asserted the same
    causes of action, and the court was within its discretion when it found that
    appellant lacked reasonable grounds for doing so. 2 NRS 18.010(2)(b);
    Semenza, 111 Nev. at 1095, 901 P.2d at 687. We therefore
    ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

    2 Inopposing respondents' motion for attorney fees, appellant stated
    that she would have withdrawn her appeal in Docket No. 58181 if the
    district court had permitted her to pursue her claims in the underlying
    case. Appellant did not suggest this course of action, when opposing
    respondents' motion to dismiss, and the district court was within its
    discretion to discount this belated proposal in determining that attorney
    fees were appropriate under NRS 18.010(2)(b).
