Rule 72B - Appeal-When Taken(a)Time and Location for Filing a Notice of Appeal. In a civil action in which an appeal is permitted by law from a justice court, the notice of appeal required by Rule 72 shall be filed with the justice court clerk. Except as provided in Rule 72A(b)(4) a notice of appeal must be filed after entry of a written judgment or order, and no later than 21 days after the date that written notice of entry of the judgment or order appealed from is served. If an applicable statute provides that a notice of appeal must be filed within a different time period, the notice of appeal required by these rules must be filed within the time period established by the statute.(b)Multiple Appeals. If one party timely files a notice of appeal, any other party may file and serve a notice of appeal within 14 days after the date when the first notice was served, or within the time otherwise prescribed by Rule 72B(a), whichever period last expires.(c)Entry Defined. A judgment or order is entered for purposes of this rule when it is signed by the judge or by the clerk, as the case may be, and filed with the clerk. A notice or stipulation of dismissal filed under Rule 41(a) has the same effect as a judgment or order signed by the judge and filed by the clerk and constitutes entry of a judgment or order for purposes of this rule. If that notice or stipulation dismisses all unresolved claims pending in an action in the district court, the notice or stipulation constitutes entry of a final judgment or order for purposes of this rule.(d)Effect of Certain Motions on a Notice of Appeal. If a party timely files in the justice court any of the following motions under these rules, the time to file a notice of appeal runs for all parties from entry of an order disposing of the last such remaining motion, and the notice of appeal must be filed no later than 21 days from the date of service of written notice of entry of that order: (1) a motion for judgment under Rule 50(b);(2) a motion under Rule 52(b) to amend or make additional findings of fact;(3) a motion under Rule 59 to alter or amend the judgment; and(4) a motion for a new trial under Rule 59.(e)Appeal from Certain Amended Judgments and Post-Judgment Orders. An appeal from a judgment substantively altered or amended upon the granting of a motion listed in Rule 72B(a)(4), or from an order granting or denying a new trial, is taken by filing a notice of appeal, or amended notice of appeal, in compliance with Rule 72. The notice of appeal or amended notice of appeal must be filed after entry of a written order disposing of the last such remaining timely motion and no later than 21 days from the date of service of written notice of entry of that order.(f)Premature Notice of Appeal. A premature notice of appeal does not divest the justice court of jurisdiction. The justice court may dismiss as premature a notice of appeal filed after the oral pronouncement of a decision or order but before entry of the written judgment or order, or before entry of the written disposition of the last-remaining timely motion listed in Rule 72B(a)(4). If, however, a written order or judgment, or a written disposition of the last-remaining timely motion listed in Rule 72B(a)(4), is entered before dismissal of the premature appeal, the notice of appeal shall be considered filed on the date of and after entry of the order, judgment, or written disposition of the last-remaining timely motion.(g)Amended Notice of Appeal. No additional fees shall be required if any party files an amended notice of appeal in order to comply with the provisions of this rule.(h)Appeal by an Inmate Confined in an Institution. If an inmate confined in an institution files a notice of appeal in a civil action, the notice is timely if it is delivered to a prison official for mailing on or before the last day for filing. If the institution has a notice-of-appeal log or another system designed for legal mail, the inmate must use that log or system to receive the benefit of this rule.Nev. Justice. Ct. R. Civ. P. 72B
