The district court also awarded respondent $931,768.35 in attorney fees and costs. Six months later, the district court entered its second amended judgment to formally dismiss appellant’s last contract claim.

S. NEV. ADULT MENTAL HEALTH SERVS. VS. BROWN
Docket Number: 78770
Carson City - 11:00 A.M. - Northern Nevada Panel
This is an appeal from a district court order granting a final judgment after a jury trial in a class action medical malpractice lawsuit. Respondent James Brown alleged claims of medical malpractice, negligence, and negligence per se against appellant Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services (SNAMHS) and several its employees. The allegations in Brown’s complaint were based on a claim of improper discharge from psychological treatment by SNAMHS.
ISSUES:
The issues on appeal are whether the district court: (1) erred by allowing the case to proceed to trial on negligence claims that Brown never pleaded against SNAMHS, (2) erred when it concluded that Brown’s negligence claims were not medical malpractice claims, (3) abused its discretion when it certified Brown’s class, (4) abused its discretion when it granted an injunction against SNAMHS, (5) erred when it allowed the jury to award damages for emotional distress, and (6) abused its discretion when it awarded costs for expert testimony and class notice.

iIN RE: A. G.-M.
Docket Number: 81214
Carson City - 1:30 P.M. - Northern Nevada Panel
Petitioner seeks a writ of prohibition or mandamus directing the district court to vacate its order granting petitioner's adult certification and dismissing the juvenile complaint against him for lack of jurisdiction. Petitioner is accused of having sexually assaulted a 15 year old girl when he was 17 years old--in January of 2017. He is also accused of battery by strangulation. However, he was not charged until February 2019. Shortly thereafter, the State sought adult certification, which was granted at the hearing on the matter.
ISSUES:
Problematically, the district court did not enter the order certifying petitioner as an adult until after his 21st birthday. Here, petitioner claims that the district court lacked jurisdiction to enter the order and argues that the complaint against him must be dismissed.
