Dixon (Terrence) vs. State
Docket No. 86028
Las Vegas – 10:30 a.m. – Panel A
A jury convicted appellant Terrance Dixon of one count of child abuse, neglect, or endangerment and one count of child abuse, neglect or endangerment with substantial bodily harm. At trial, a childcare worker testified that A.D.’s ears were bruised, and that A.D. indicated that Dixon had pinched them. The jury also heard evidence that on a later occasion, A.D. was admitted to emergency care and was determined to have a serious brain injury; Dixon reported that A.D. had fallen down the stairs the day before, but doctors believed the injuries were not consistent with a fall. Dixon was sentenced to 24 months on each count to run concurrently. On appeal, Dixon argues seven issues including, most notably, whether NRS 200.508(1) requires a showing that he knew that medical care was necessary such that a willful delay at the time of his knowledge was the cause of the substantial bodily harm to A.D. This court is now being asked to consider, for the first time, the precise mental state required to sustain a conviction of child abuse, neglect or endangerment under 200.508(1).
Hohl Motorsports, Inc. vs. State, Dep’t of Taxation
Docket No. 87189
Las Vegas – 11:15 a.m. – Panel A
This is an appeal from a district court order dismissing a petition for judicial review of a tax determination. Appellant Hohl Motorsports, Inc., challenged a delinquency assessment. The district court dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction because Hohl neither paid the full amount of the deficiency nor entered into a formal written agreement with respondent the Nevada Department of Taxation pursuant to NRS 360.395. Hohl appealed, arguing that the district court erred in interpreting NRS 360.395 and the regulations adopted to govern any “written agreement” under the statute .
