Before Justices Gibbons, Douglas, and Saitta. Opinion by Justice Douglas.
In this appeal from a petition for judicial review of a foreclosure mediation, the Court considered whether a homeowner who obtained some relief but not all the requested relief is an aggrieved party with standing to appeal. Under a NRAP 3A, to have standing to appeal, a party must be “aggrieved”, meaning adversely and substantially affected by a challenged judgment. In this opinion, the Court makes clear that a party who receives an order granting some requested relief but denying other relief may be considered aggrieved under NRAP 3A. Addressing the substance of the appeal, the Court held that the district court did not abuse its discretion when it granted only monetary sanctions for the lender’s failure to comply with the foreclosure mediation rules. Affirmed. (Kerry S. Doyle, Associate in the Reno office of McDonald Carano Wilson.)
