CITY OF LAS VEGAS, a Political Subdivision of the State of Nevada, Petitioner, v. The EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT of the State of Nevada, IN AND FOR the COUNTY OF CLARK; and the Honorable Timothy C. Williams, District Judge, Respondents, and 180 Land Co., LLC, a Nevada Limited-liability Company ; and Fore Stars, Ltd., a Nevada Limited-Liability Company, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR CERTIORARI
This emergency, original petition for a writ of mandamus or certiorari challenges a district court order denying a stay of the inverse condemnation judgment against petitioner pending appeal and conditioning the right to appeal upon payment of the judgment. Real parties in interest have filed an answer, as directed, and petitioner has filed a reply.
Meanwhile, however, petitioner filed an appeal and, in the appeal, a motion for stay essentially requesting the same relief. See City of Las Vegas v. 180 Land Co., LLC , Docket No. 84345. The motion for stay in that case was granted on May 9, 2022. As petitioner thus has obtained the relief requested in this writ petition, the petition is moot. Personhood Nev. v. Bristol, 126 Nev. 599, 602, 245 P.3d 572, 574 (2010) (holding that a case that initially presents a live controversy may be rendered moot by subsequent events). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.
It is so ORDERED.
