4. A court may issue a temporary order for protection against harassment in the workplace without written or oral notice to the person who allegedly committed the harassment or the person’s attorney only if: (a) A verified application is accompanied by an affidavit that contains specific facts which clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage will result to the employer, an employee of the employer while the employee performs the duties of the employee’s employment or a person who is present at the workplace of the employer before the person who allegedly committed the harassment or the person’s attorney can be heard in opposition; and (b) The employer and the employer's attorney, if any, set forth in the affidavit: (1) The efforts, if any, that have been made to give notice to the person who allegedly committed the harassment; and (2) The facts supporting waiver of notice requirements.

If such an application is filed, the temporary order remains in effect until the hearing on the application for an extended order is held.

The court's order must: (a) Specify which claims identified in the petition warrant a response from the prosecuting agency; and (b) Specify which newly discovered evidence identified in the petition, if credible, might establish a bona fide issue of factual innocence.

2. The prosecuting agency shall, not later than 120 days after receipt of the court's order requiring a response, or within any additional period the court allows, respond to the petition and serve a copy upon the petitioner and, if the prosecuting agency is the district attorney, the Attorney General.

Not later than 30 days after the expiration of the period during which the petitioner may reply to the response, the court shall consider the petition, any response by the prosecuting agency and any reply by the petitioner. If the court determines that the petition meets the requirements of NRS 34.960 and that there is a bona fide issue of factual innocence regarding the charges of which the petitioner was convicted, the court shall order a hearing on the petition. If the court does not make such a determination, the court shall enter an order denying the petition. For the purposes of this subsection, a bona fide issue of factual innocence does not exist if the petitioner is merely relitigating facts, issues or evidence presented in a previous proceeding or if the petitioner is unable to identify with sufficient specificity the nature and reliability of the newly discovered evidence that establishes the factual innocence of the petitioner.

6. If the parties stipulate that the evidence establishes the factual innocence of the petitioner, the court may affirm the factual innocence of the petitioner without holding a hearing. If the prosecuting agency does not stipulate that the evidence establishes the factual innocence of the petitioner, a determination of factual innocence must not be made by the court without a hearing.

7. If the parties stipulate that the evidence establishes the factual innocence of the petitioner, the prosecuting agency makes a motion to dismiss the original charges against the petitioner or, after a hearing, the court determines that the petitioner has proven his or her factual innocence by clear and convincing evidence, the court shall: (a) Vacate the petitioner's conviction and issue an order of factual innocence and exoneration; and (b) Order the sealing of all documents, papers and exhibits in the person's record, minute book entries and entries on dockets and other documents relating to the case in the custody of such other agencies and officers as are named in the court's order.

8. The court shall provide a written explanation of its determination that the petitioner proved or failed to prove his or her factual innocence by clear and convincing evidence.

Upon receipt by the clerk, the clerk shall enter a judgment according to the terms of the offer. Any judgment entered pursuant to this section shall be deemed a compromise settlement. The judgment, the offer, the notice of acceptance and proof of service, with the judgment endorsed, become the judgment roll.

3. If the offer of judgment is not accepted pursuant to subsection 2 within 10 days after the date of service, the offer shall be deemed rejected by the party to whom it was made and withdrawn by the party who made it. The rejection of an offer does not preclude any party from making another offer pursuant to this section. Evidence of a rejected offer is not admissible in any proceeding other than a proceeding to determine costs and fees.

(3) Reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the party who made the offer for the period from the date of service of the offer to the date of entry of the judgment. If the attorney of the party who made the offer is collecting a contingent fee, the amount of any attorney's fees awarded to the party pursuant to this subparagraph must be deducted from that contingent fee.

5. To determine whether a party who rejected an offer of judgment failed to obtain a more favorable judgment: (a) If the offer provided that the court would award costs, the court must compare the amount of the offer with the principal amount of the judgment, without inclusion of costs. (b) If the offer precluded a separate award of costs, the court must compare the amount of the offer with the sum of: (1) The principal amount of the judgment; and (2) The amount of taxable costs that the claimant who obtained the judgment incurred before the date of service of the offer.

6. Multiple parties may make a joint offer of judgment pursuant to this section.

7. A party may make to two or more other parties pursuant to this section an apportioned offer of judgment that is conditioned upon acceptance by all the parties to whom the apportioned offer is made. Each party to whom such an offer is made may serve upon the party who made the offer a separate written notice of acceptance of the offer. If any party rejects the apportioned offer: (a) The action must proceed as to all parties to whom the apportioned offer was made, whether or not the other parties accepted or rejected the offer; and (b) The sanctions set forth in subsection 4: (1) Apply to each party who rejected the apportioned offer. (2) Do not apply to any party who accepted the apportioned offer.
