Sampson v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Ct. ( 2014 )

 appellant's stay petition at the same time that it granted respondents'
motions to dismiss.
Appellant also challenges a district court order entered on
November 8, 2012, that dismissed appellant's complaint with respect to
respondents Roger, Goettsch, Pate, Miller, Biggs, Garcia, McDonald, and
Heath. Specifically, appellant contends that the district court improperly
dismissed these respondents without first ruling on appellant's motion to
compel. Appellant has pointed to no authority suggesting that the district
court would have been authorized to grant the relief that appellant was
requesting in his motion to compel. Accordingly, we conclude that the
district court properly denied the motion to compel when it entered the
November 8 order. See Bd. of Gallery of History, Inc. v. Datecs Corp., 116
Nev. 286, 289, 994 P.2d 1149, 1150 (2000) (noting that the district court's
failure to rule on a request constitutes a denial of the request). We
therefore
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.'

1 We have considered appellant's remaining arguments and conclude
that they lack merit. In light of this disposition, we deny the relief
requested in appellant's September 29, 2014, filings.
