(A) Financial declarations;

(B) Medical reports and records, including without limitation, substance abuse evaluations, mental health evaluations, and psychosexual evaluations;

(C) Motions for court funds to pay indigent criminal defendant investigative expenses, expert fees, or other costs or fees and any resulting order;

(D) Tax documents; and

(E) Documents identified by any statute, rule, regulation, or order as confidential and non-public, presumptively confidential and non-public, or for which automatic sealing is provided by any controlling law.

(2) Motion. Any pleadings or papers other than those listed in subsection (a) that a party wants filed under seal must be delivered to the judicial clerk with a motion for leave to file the documents under seal. If any pleadings or papers are filed under seal under a prior court order, the pleading or paper must state on the first page, directly under the case number: “FILED UNDER SEAL UNDER COURT ORDER DATED [DATE OF THE ORDER].”

(3) Process. All pleadings or papers filed with a motion to seal will be filed under seal and will remain sealed until the court either denies the motion to seal or enters an order unsealing them.

(4) Unsealing pleadings or papers. The court may, upon motion or on its own, direct the unsealing of pleadings or papers filed under seal, with or without redactions, after notice to all parties and an opportunity to be heard.

(b) All other cases. In all non-criminal cases, sealing records will be handled as provided in the Nevada Supreme Court Rules.

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
