 Nevada courts are bound to give the decisions of the federal
courts preclusive effect in this matter. Semtek Intl Inc. v. Lockheed
Martin Corp., 531 U.S. 497, 508-09 (2001) (describing the preclusive effect
that state courts must give to federal courts acting with diversity
jurisdiction); Stoll v. Gottlieb, 305 U.S. 165, 170-71 (1938) (describing the
preclusive effect that states must give federal courts acting with federal
question jurisdiction); Five Star Capital Corp. v. Ruby, 124 Nev. 1048,
1055, 194 P.3d 709, 713 (2008) (applying issue preclusion where the issues
are identical, the issues were actually and necessarily litigated, and a final
ruling on the merits was issued). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
