A
Nevada Board appeal should identify error in the referee decision
Read the decision and appeal instructions immediately. Preserve the
service record and file by the date and method stated in the governing
notice and current law.
Start with the record
Organize:
- the Notice of Hearing;
- determination and appeal;
- admitted exhibits;
- hearing recording or transcript when available;
- referee findings, conclusions, and order;
- objections or procedural requests; and
- proof of the Board appeal.
Identify specific grounds
Potential grounds may include:
- a material finding lacks support in the record;
- the decision omits undisputed material evidence;
- the wrong legal standard or burden was used;
- a conclusion does not follow from the findings;
- credibility was resolved without a reasoned explanation;
- the referee decided an issue not adequately noticed;
- a material request to present evidence or obtain a witness was
improperly denied; or - the order does not resolve every necessary issue.
Do not rewrite the
facts without citations
A strong Board submission points to the hearing testimony or exhibit
supporting each asserted fact. New factual assertions that were never
placed in the record may be limited or disregarded under the governing
procedure.
State the requested relief
Ask for the specific result supported by law: affirmance, reversal,
modification, or remand for identified proceedings. Avoid a generic
request for “fairness” untethered to a legal or record error.
