Falconi v. Corazon Real Estate ( 2013 )

 Sunde v. Contel of California, 112 Nev. 541, 542-43, 915 P.2d 298, 299
(1996) (explaining that nonlawyers may not represent entities in court);
Salman v. Newell, 110 Nev. 1333, 1336, 885 P.2d 607, 608 (1994)
(observing that no statute or rule permits a nonlawyer to represent an
entity and concluding that an entity cannot proceed in proper person). As
we do not allow laypersons to represent parties or entities and business
entities are not permitted to appear or file documents in proper person,
respondent's answer and all other motions and documents filed in the
district court by respondent were improper and should have been stricken
by the district court. Stu's Bail Bonds, 115 Nev.at 436 n.1, 991 P.2d at 470
n.1; Sunde, 112 Nev. at 542-43, 915 P.2d at 299; Salman, 110 Nev. at
1336, 885 P.2d at 608. Respondent's motion to dismiss was, therefore, also
improperly considered by the district court and the district court erred in
considering and granting the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court REVERSED AND
REMAND this matter to the district court for proceedings consistent with
this order.'
