Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas) and Alexandra McLeod (Of Counsel-Las Vegas) had their motion to dismiss granted in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Las Vegas, in a landlord/tenant dispute against Wilson Elser’s client, an apartment complex. The plaintiff is a tenant alleging harassment by the landlord in an effort to avoid eviction. The district court granted Michael and Alex’s motion to dismiss based on the pleadings. With motions to dismiss based on the pleadings rarely granted, the court noted that no eviction had yet occurred, nor was the plaintiff harmed or damaged yet. Further, another local court has exclusive jurisdiction over eviction proceedings.
