In a couple of weeks there will be another shuffling of cases among some of the criminal judges in the 8th Judicial District.  Judges Bell and Silver will now handle criminal and civil cases.  Judge Mosley will be assigned fewer criminal cases and will now handle all misdemeanor appeals and foreclosure mediation appeals.  Some criminal cases will also be transferred from Judge Hardcastle.  Notices should be sent approximately one week prior to any court dates.

The Executive Judicial Committee of the Eighth Judicial District Court has announced a plan for reassigning caseloads for five judicial departments in the Eighth Judicial District Court. The reassignments will involve the following judges: Judge Doug Smith, Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez, Judge Mark Denton, Judge Allan Earl and Judge Kathleen Delaney. While the actual caseload transfer will occur the weekend of July 25 and 26, 2009, the changes will be in effect starting Monday, July 27, 2009.

Effective Monday, July 27, 2009, the judicial department calendars will reflect the following changes:

• Judge Doug Smith, Department 8, will acquire Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez's Criminal Caseload (Criminal Track 3).
• Judge Allan Earl, Department 19, will be receiving approximately 800 of Judge Doug Smith's Civil Cases through a random reassignment.
• Judge Allan Earl, Department 19, will be receiving approximately 400 of Judge Kathleen Delaney's Civil Cases through a random reassignment.
• Judge Kathleen Delaney, Department 25 will be receiving approximately 50% of Judge Mark Denton's Business Court Cases through a random reassignment.

Effective July 27, 2009, any pending or future District Court matters, for reassigned cases, will be heard in the department consistent with the information above.

In the event the attorney has not exercised a peremptory challenge and wishes to do so, he/she must exercise the peremptory challenge in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 48.1 and the case will be randomly reassigned.

To confirm the newly assigned department or future court dates, parties may view the Eighth Judicial District Court's on-line case inquiry information at https://www.clarkcountycourts.us/Anonymous/default.aspx.

Some people might wonder why it is that experienced judges Mosley and Hardcastle have a full time criminal calendar, despite their previous experience in handling civil cases, while other judges who have primarily criminal law backgrounds, such as judges Smith and Silver, have been assigned all civil caseloads.  Chalk it up to a system of decisions-made-by-seniority rather than decisions-made-by-logic.  In any event, there are new assignments on the track system for criminal cases:

Track 1 - LVJC 1 (Lippis) to DC 5 (Glass) or DC 9 (Togliatti)

Track 2 - information not available

Track 3 - LVJC 3 (Abbatangelo) to DC 11 (Gonzalez) or DC 3 (Herndon)

Track 4 - HJC 3 (GIbson) & LVJC 4 (Saragosa) to DC 2 (Vega) and DC 23 (Miley)

Track 5 - LVJC 5 (Jansen) & NLV 3 (Lee) to DC 14 (Mosley)

Track 6 - LVJC 6 (Oesterle) & NLV 2 (Tyrrell) to DC 1 (Cory) or DC 24 (Bixler)

Track 7 - LVJC 7 (Bennett-Haron) & HJC 2 (George) to DC 12 (Leavitt) or DC 18 (Barker)

Track 8 - LVJC 8 (Zimmerman) & NLV 1 (Dahl) to DC 20 (Wall) or DC 21 (Adair)

Track 9 - HJC 1 (Burr) & LVJC 9 (Bonaventure) to DC 6 (Cadish) or DC 17 (Villani) 

Track 10 - LVJC 10 (vacant) & Rural Justice Courts to DC 4 (Hardcastle)

Las Vegas Justice Court Departments 2 and 10 are vacant due to the election of Abbi Silver and Doug Smith as district court judges.  This report does not provide tracking information about Departments 11 (Eric Goodman) and 12 (Diana Sullivan).  I don't know what this means.
