Outcome

The Nevada Supreme Court granted the petition for a writ of mandamus, determining that the gaming privilege in NRS 463.120(6) applies only prospectively to discovery requests made on or after June 12, 2017, and therefore did not apply to requests made in August 2014 and February 2016. The court reversed the district court's denial of the motion to compel discovery.
