IN RE SANDOVAL

No. 52066.

232 P.3d 422 (2010)

In re Luis SANDOVAL, Debtor. Leslie Howard, Appellant, v. Luis Sandoval, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Nevada.

May 13, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sidhu Law Firm, LLC, and Ambrish S. Sidhu, Las Vegas, for Appellant.

Crosby & Associates and David M. Crosby, Las Vegas, for Respondent.

Before PARRAGUIRRE, C.J., HARDESTY, DOUGLAS, CHERRY, SAITTA, GIBBONS and PICKERING, JJ.

OPINION

PER CURIAM:

The certified question in this case asks whether a Nevada default judgment based on a defendant's failure to answer a complaint served by publication carries issue-preclusive effect. Because Nevada law requires an issue to have been actually and necessarily litigated for issue preclusion to apply, a default judgment entered in these circumstances does not carry such effect.
