09/05/2019Case Status UpdateOral argument held this day. Case submitted for decision. Before the En Banc Court. (SC)

12/05/2019Opinion/DispositionalFiled Authored Opinion.  "Petition granted in part and denied in part."  Given that the district court erred by holding that a blog could

not be considered a newspaper on the grounds it exists in digital form, we grant this petition in part and instruct the district court to conduct further proceedings to determine whether Toll's blog qualifies for protection under the news shield statute. Furthermore, because the district court did not arbitrarily or capriciously exercise its discretion in ordering discovery in accordance with NRS 41.660(4), we deny that portion of the writ. We direct the clerk of this court to issue a writ of prohibition instructing the district court to vacate its order granting Gilman's motion to compel and to reconsider the motion in light of this opinion.  Before the Court En Banc.  Author:  Gibbons, C.J., Majority:  Gibbons, Pickering, Hardesty, Parraguirre, Stiglich, Cadish, Silver, JJ.  135 Nev. Adv. Opn. No. 58.  (SC)19-49275
