Last amended effective 1/1/2005; amended effective 3/1/2019.

Advisory Committee Note 2019 Amendment

Rule 48 coordinates with NRS 16.030 and the Nevada Short Trial Rules on the number of jurors. Article 1, Section 3 of the Nevada Constitution and NRS 16.190 address non-unanimous verdicts and polling, making it unnecessary to incorporate FRCP 48(b) and (c).
