Stapley v. State

Opinion of the Court

OPINION

Per Curiam:

On June 2, 1981, this court ordered the parties to file authorities directed to the applicability of Hollis v. State, 96 Nev. 207, 606 P.2d 534 (1980), in this appeal from a burglary conviction. In response to our order, the state has conceded that Hollis is dispositive of the issue relating to jury instructions. Accordingly, on the authority of Hollis, we reverse the conviction and remand for a new trial.

Reversed and remanded.
