Cox v. State of Nev.
Cox v. State of Nev.
Opinion
a complaint in order to institute a new civil action. See Jordan v. State at rel. Dep't of Motor Vehicles & Public Safety, 121 Nev. 44, 59, 110 P.3d 30, 41-42 (2005) (recognizing that Nevada courts have the inherent "power to permanently restrict a litigant's right to access the courts"), abrogated on other grounds by Buzz Stew, LLC v. City of N. Las Vegas, 121 Nev. 224, n.6, 181 P.3d 670, 672 n.6 (2008). In the application, appellant is required to state under oath (1) that he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury with supporting facts and legal authority demonstrating that the court could remedy the threat with legal action; (2) whether the claims had been raised in a previous case, and if so, to provide the case number and court where the claims had been raised; (3) that appellant had previously been declared a vexatious litigant in the Seventh Judicial District and to identify any other courts where he had been labeled a vexatious litigant; and (4) that the claims were not frivolous, not made to vex and annoy, and not brought in bad faith.
In this case, appellant failed to submit an application containing the required information and did not otherwise provide the information required by the vexatious litigant order. On appeal, appellant largely restates the causes of action from his complaint, and he does not provide any grounds for this court to reverse the district court's dismissal of the complaint for failure to comply with the vexatious litigant order.
While appellant also argues that, as an indigent person proceeding in forma pauperis, he is unable to produce the hundreds of copies required to comply with the vexatious litigant order, neither the court below nor the vexatious litigant order required appellant to submit any such documents.
SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA (0) 1947A 4e1) Thus, we conclude that the district court properly dismissed appellant's complaint for failure to comply with the vexatious litigant order.
Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
