W hen and how counsel for the other parties were notified and whether they havbeen served with the motion; Attorney David O'Mara was notified by facsimile onFebruary 12, 2013, of this petition for writ. Judge Steven E lliott's office was calleand notified of the petition for writ on February 13, 2013. Both parties were servethe petition and appendixes by first class mail.

    The m ost recent dates of the events supporting this petition were February 14, 2013Second Judicial District Court Order Denying D efendants' Motion For Reconsideration OOrder to Stay and Motion For Relief From Order. Exhibit 12.

    J. Michael Sunde and Viktoriya Sokol Sunde ("Petitioners") hereby petition this Court foan Em ergency W rit of Mandamus or Prohibition ordering respondent ("District Court", o"Department 10") to vacate four (4) previous decisions in Petitioners' District Court action thathey consider to be "rigged" and to cease "rigging" d ecisions in Petitioners' District Couraction in the future. The Petitioners demand this court order an investigation by the NevadAttorney General to determine the extent of the corruption, mail fraud and wire fraud committeby the District Court and to determine the numb er of previously "rigged" decisions by thDistrict Court over a period as long as 10 years and which should include the determination othe quid pro quo provided to the District Court by real parties in interest Robert D. CrocketVictoria A. Crockett ("Crocketts") and their attorneys William O'Mara and David O'Mar("O'Maras") to obtain the "rigged" decisions from the D istrict Court. All grounds advanced isupport of the herein petition were submitted to the District Court.

    The four (4) decisions rigged by the District Court include: (1) The Order signed bJudge Steven P. E lliott on December 13, 2012 staying the Department 10 action.. Tstated purpose of the motion to stay was to consolidate the Department 10 action with thDepartment 6 action. However, the Department 6 action is on appeal before this Court, CasNo. 57574. Absolutely no commonality between the Department 10 and Department 6 actionwas presented to the District Court by the O 'Maras and no com monality was ruled upon nocontained in the District Court s order staying the Department 10 action. For there waabsolutely no commonality. The Crocketts and O Maras failed to file the compulsory

    counterclaim over 2 years ago when the Department 10 action was filed. Furthermore, over thepast 2 years, Judge Steven P. Elliott and the O Maras admitted dozens of times that theDepartment 6 action was not relative whatsoever with the Department 10 action. District CourJudge Steven P. Elliott ignored the laws of Nevada and falsified his order staying theDepartment 10 action; (2) The Order signed by Judge Steven P. Elliott on December 222011 that the motion by the Petitioners was deemed frivolous. The District Court stated hearing that Petitioners motion was not frivolous three (3) times, but the O Maras when askedby Judge Elliott to prepare an order for him to sign O Mara falsified the Proposed Order statinthe motion was frivolous Judge Steven P Elliott signed said falsified order without eveverifying the findings in the order; (3) The Order signed by Judge Steven P. Elliott oDecember 22, 2011, which asserted that the Petitioner was evicted. The transcript fromJustice Court hearing proved that Petitioners were not evicted from the Greenwich house. Buthe O Maras after being asked by Judge Elliott to prepare an order inserted into the ProposeOrder that Petitioners neither appeared at the Justice Court hearing, which they did, and that thePetitioners were evicted, which the transcript proves Petitioners were not ev icted. These factcenter directly on the action before the court as the Crocketts had given Mr. Sunde a contracfor a lifetime leasehold for said Greenwich home The District Court signed the falsifiedproposed order w ithout verfying the findings in the order; (4) The Order signed by JudgSteven P. Elliott on March 3, 2011 awarding attorneys fees. The O Maras filed a motion foattorney fees based on a lease allowing attorney fees to the prevailing party. Since there hasbeen no trial, no judgment, by law there cannot be a prevailing party. District Court Judge StevP. Elliott ignored the law and falsified the order allowing attorney fees.

    Every questionable decision by Judge Steven P. Elliott was ruled against Petitioners. Thonly explanation can be corruption and collusion between Ro bert D. Crockett, Victoria ACrockett, William M . O Mara, David C. O Mara and Judge Steven P. Elliott or a completdisregard of the rule of law and an abuse of discretion.

    Petitioners pray for justice from this ourt by overturning the orders entered by JudgeSteven P. Elliott which also will eliminate the need to go to federal court for the protection oour constitutional rights.

    As the abov e referenced allegations involve criminal conduct by the district Court Judgand the two attorneys who falsified proposed orders, the six-month limitation is inapplicable tthis case. The Court and attorneys engaged in fraud in a fraud upon the court bribery of judge, and fabrication of evidence by the attorneys. Savage v. Salzmann 88 Nev. 193,495 P.2367 1972); Manville v. M anville 79 Nev. 487, 387 P.2d 661 1963); Murphy v. Murphy 1Nev. 185, 734 P.2d 738 1987).

    Petitioners will file complaints regarding this corrupt conduct by the Court and attorneyto the Discipline Com mission, State Bar of Nevada, and others.

    ISSUE PRESENTEDTHE DISTRICT COURT, PRESIDING JUDGE STEVEN P. ELLIOTT, ENTEREDORDERS THAT WERE BLATANTLY WRONG AND SHOULD BE O VERTURNEDAND W HEN A DISTRICT COURT ENGAGES IN COLLUSION AND CORRUPTIOWITH ATTORN EYS IN THE "RIGGING" OF DECISIONS THOSE DECISIONS AREIN CONTRAVENTION TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, AGAINST PUBLICPOLICY, AND THEREFORE THIS COURT IS THE CO URT OF LAST RESORT.

    CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONSThe corruption and criminal conspiracy engaged in by Robert D. Crockett, Victoria A

    Crockett (real parties in interest), District Court Judge Steven P. Elliott, attorneys William MO'Mara and David C. O'Mara has denuded and unlawfully taken Petitioners' constitutional righto substantive due process and procedural due process. The conduct of these co-conspiratorwas not appropriate, proper nor reasonable. The selective justice dispensed by Judge StevenP. Elliott against Petitioners and as alleged herein and many other litigants in Department 1of Washoe County District Court has created unimaginable violations of many party constitutional protections.

    DISCUSSIONI. EMERG ENCY RELIEF BY EXTRAOR DINARY WRIT IS APPROPRIATEAND NECESSARY

    In general this Court will not issue a writ when there is a "plain, speedy and adequaremedy in the ordinary course of law" (NRS 34.170), such as the ability to appeal a district couorder following the entry of a final judgment. How ever, this Court will consider a writ, evewhen there is a speedy and adequate remedy at law, when an important issue of law has beeusurped by a lower court, and pub lic policy will be served by this Court's invocation of itoriginal jurisdiction. Dayside Inc. v. F irst Jud. Dist. Ct. 119 Nev. 404, 407 (2003), overruon other grounds by Lehrer McGovern Bovis Inc. v. Bullock Insulation Inc. 124 Nev. AdRep. 92, 197 P.3d 1032 (2008).

    Without a doubt, the Petitioners' dispute over the "rigging" of decisions by the CrockettO'Maras and District Court through an unknown special arrangement with attorneys Williaand David O'Mara involves an important issue of law. The "rigging" of decisions by the Distri

    Court goes to the very heart of justice in America. The rigging of these decisions involvethe use of wire transfers and the mails and was accom plished through participation in a corrupfraudulent scheme by the Crocketts, O Maras and District Court. Petitioners believe antherefore allege Federal crimes have been committed by the Crocketts, O'Maras and DistricCourt and this corruption could date 10 years or more and could involve additional, unknowattorneys. Furthermore, the issues presented herein need to be addressed because the D istricCourt's decisions and orders con tradict the plain language of the relevant statutes, disregarddecisions of this Court that are directly on poin t, and are inconsistent with decisions of othedistrict courts, and, because corruption was involved in the rendering of these decisions by thDistrict Court.

    Citing Walser v. Moran 42 Nev. 111, 173 P.1149 (1918) this Court stated, In the casof State ex rel. Marshall et al. v. District Court 50 Mont. 289, 146 Pac.743, Ann.Cas. 1917C164, the Supreme Court of M ontana, in considering the question, took occasion to remark tha

    A remedy is speedy when having in mind the subject-matter involved, it can be pursuewith expedition and without essential detriment to the party aggrieved, and it is neithspeedy nor adequate if its slowness is likely to produce immediate injury or mischiefIn Walser this Court cited the case of Bell Davidson et al. v. First Judicial District CourtNev. 280, 81 Pac. 875, 1 L.R.A. (N.S.) 843, 113 Am . St. Rep. 854, 6 Ann. Cas. 982, and thCourt said:

    The ob ject of the writ is to restrain inferior courts from acting without authority of lawin cases where w rong, damage, and injustice are likely to follow from such action. **The writ should not be granted, except in cases of usurpation or abuse of power, and nthen, unless the other remedies provided by law are inadequate to afford full relief. ***If the entire proceedings are without authority of law, * * * certainly the remedy to bobtained by the slow process of appeal, which could only follow a vain , fruitless, anperhaps expensive trial, could not be considered an adequate remedy.Petitioners in the case at bar have no remedy, not even appeal. The District Court has stayethe action pending consolidation with another non-existent district court case, a case on appealPetitioners not only do not have a speedy and adequate remedy, they have no remedy.

    Accordingly, the District Court rigging of decisions and corruption by opposing partieand their attorneys is flatly inconsistent with the law, morals and ethics of the District Court anthe attorneys. A definitive ruling by this Court on these issues would therefore serve publi

    policy by putting an end to this corruption with certainty regarding the rights and Constitutionarights and remedies of Petitioners and dozens or even hundreds of other litigants who have hatheir rights stolen by the District Court and attorneys w orking in collusion.

    II. INTRODUCTIONAll disputed or questionable decisions of the District Court favored real parties in interes

    the Crocketts, and their attorneys, the O'Maras. None favored Petitioners. Such collusion ancorruption can only be explained by an unknown quid pro quo between the Crocketts, O'Maraand District Court. It is natural for petitioners to assume the quid pro qu o was m oney.

    III. STATEMENT OF FACTSA. FIRST ALLEGED CORRUPT ORDER BY JUDGE STEVEN P. ELLIOTT

    Real parties in interest Robert and Victoria A. Crockett filed a motion to stay the DistricCourt, Department 10 action. Appendix V, Bates Stamp No. 0903-0907. The basis for the stwas to consolidate the Department 10 ac tion with the Department 6 action. However, thDepartment 6 action is on appeal before the District Court, Case No. 57574, there is ncommonality between the two (2) actions, and the Department 6 claims occurred 2 years aftethe Department 10 claims. Petitioners filed opposition to the motion to stay, Appendix V, BatStamp No. 0911-0973, and real parties in interest have filed a reply. Appendix V, Bates StamNo. 0974-979. Department 10 issued its Order Staying the Action on Decem ber 13, 2012.

    The Crocketts and O'Maras have lied repeatedly in arguing that, ..and many of the factuand legal issues are the same. ' Worst of all, is that O'Mara asked the District Court to join thaction with the Department 6 action, but, there is no Department 6 action, and there may nevebe a Department 6 action. Or if there is any future Department 6 action, it could be years away

    a. Crocketts, O'Maras District Court Have Repeatedly Admitted The Department action Is Not Related to Department Action

    During each hearing in the District Court case, the Crocketts, O Maras and the District Couargued and ordered that this case is distinctly different that the Department 6 action and nothing in th

    Department 6 action is relevant to the District Court action, Department 10. They all argued there ino commonality between the Departments 10 and 6 actions.

    During the February 4, 2011, Hearing nume rous claims of irrelevant were voiced by O'Mara anvalidated by the D istrict Court. 3 At the Hearing on September 20, 2012, the Crocketts, O'Maras anthe District Court voiced much stronger arguments and rulings that the Department 6 case w as irrelevan(page numbers in the transcript of September 20,2011 are included). 4 Some of those argumen ts/rulininclude: O'MARA: Objection, Your Honor. This trust is not even in question in this case. It hanothing to do w ith it. It has to do with the lease agreement of the property". p. 72,1. 13-15; "COURTWe ll, I understand his argum ent, but it's not relevant". p. 72, 1. 24; "O'MA RA: It's not relevant to iregards to this case. There's nothing in regards to her. She's not being sued as the trustee in her capacityat all as the trustee. She's individually being sued on an avenue of this breach of contract that they'rclaiming. It's not relevant in this case. It's already been determined in Department 6 in regards to aof the issues in regards to the trust..." p. 73,1. 2-9; "COURT: I'm going to sustain the objection as going into the trust in that I don't believe the trust is directly involved in this matter today. But I'going to ...sustain the objection. I don't feel the trust is directly involved in our proce eding today". p73,1. 10-22; "O'MARA: Objection, Your Honor. This is also irrelevant. It has nothing to do with thcase. COURT: I don't believe that the car is really at issue today . p. 74, 1. 8-11; O'MARAObjection, Your Honor. This is also not relevant at all . COURT: Sustained. I'm not reallconcerned about..." "We have a limited concern." p. 75, 1. 10-15; "COURT: I'm going to sustain tobjection to going into the fam ily history. I don't really need to know that for this proceeding." p. 71. 4-6. "Q: Is that suit regarding the trust that the judge doesn 't want to hear about. A : Yes. Q: Is thbecause you stopped paying your father dividends? p. 78, 1. 20-24. O'MARA: Objection, YoHonor. Not relevant." "COURT: Sustained." p. 79, 1. 1-3.

    At the Hearing o n Nov emb er 8, 2011, the District Court issued additional rulings that theDepartment 6 action is irrelevant.' O'MARA: Objection, Your Honor. This is totally outside the

    realm of this hearing, and it's already been decided in against and in our favor by Department six.COURT: I would have to sustain the objection to that matter because in the realm of another court a

    this point.During no hearing nor order of the District Court has any issue of the Department 6 case bee

    ruled relevant to the District Cou rt, Department 10, action.Furthermore, the complaint in the District Court action discloses that, that action is betwee

    individuals related only to the house on Greenwich Way.How ever, the Department 6 action, has no claims related to the house, and is related to a Nevad

    Trust and Nevada Corporation.' The causes of action in Department 6 include: breach of fiduciary duby Trustee Victoria Crockett; replacement of trustee and contingent trustees; elder abuse for theft sole trust beneficiary Sunde's dividends required for his and his family's support and m aintenance bRobert Victoria Crockett; breach of contract related to the trust agreement by Trustee VictoriCrockett; personal injury resulting from the loss of Sunde's dividends from the trust; embezzlemenof trust dividends by Trustee Victoria Crockett and Robert Crockett; and, negligence in thmanagement of the Nevada trust. Id.

    Consolidation of similar or even identical cases is governed by NRCP 42, which states:RULE 42. CONSOLIDATION; SEPARATE TRIALSa) Consolidation. When actions involving a common question of law or fact apending before the court, it may order a joint hearing or trial of any or all the matters iissue in the actions; it may order all the actions consolidated; and it may m ake sucorders concerning proceedings therein as may tend to avoid unnecessary costs or delab) Separate Trials. The court, in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice, when separate trials will be conducive to expedition and economy, may order a separattrial of any claim, cross-claim, counterclaim, or third-party claim, or of any separatissue or of any number of claims, cross-claims, counterclaims, third-party claims, oissues, always preserving inviolate the right of trial by jury.

    Rule 42 is clear that consolidating the Department 10 action with the Depa rtment 6 actiosometime in the distant future , if at all, does not meet the language of or the intent of Rule 42

    The most important purpose of Rule 42 is to avoid unnecessary costs and delay. ThDepartment 10 action has been set for trial and a Scheduling Order has been issued.' Th

    NRC P 42(a) requires actions to be pending before a district court. The Department 6action is not pending before a district court. It has been closed at the d istrict court level whilan appeal is pending.

    Furthermore, as argued herein, there is no common question of law, damages, facttransactions or parties in these two actions. These cases may not be consolidated. Two actionmay not be consolidated unless they arise out of the same transaction and the transactions arconnected to the same subject. Wells, Inc.v. Shoemake et al., 64 Nev 57, 177 P .2d 451 (194[ ...property damages arising out of motor vehicle collision were properly joined ; Plaintimay unite several causes of action in the sam e complaint, when they all arise out of...8. Claimarising out of the same transaction, or transactions connected with the same subject oaction... ]; Marcuse v. Del Webb Communities, 123 Nev. 278, 163 P.3d 462 (2007) [ ... tricourt did not abuse its discretion in denying unnamed class mem bers' motions to consolidatheir claim and for separate trials ; (1) contrary to the requirements of NRCP 42(a), thMarcuses had failed to demonstrate any pending action involving a common question of laor fact, and (2) there were no common questions of law or fact between the M arcuses' claimand the class's claims, since the class action sought recovery for future damages, not resultadamages ]. While the courts enjoy broad discretion, the courts do not enjoy unfetterediscretion in ordering consolidation. Id. See also, Havas v. Alger, 85 Nev. 627,461 P.2d 8(1969); Mikulich et al. v.

    c. No com pulsory Coun terclaim W as Filed by PlaintiffsThe Crocketts and O'Maras attempted to join the Department 6 and 10 actions even thoug

    there was comm onality of facts, law, damages, parties, time, or transactions. If comm onaliexisted when plaintiffs filed the Department 10 action in 2011, a m andatory counterclaim w arequired to be filed in the Department 10 action, including the claims now in the Departme6 action. No counterclaim was filed in the Department 10 action claiming the alleged damagas contained in the Department 6 action. Comm onality is impossible as the alleged damagein Department 6 occurred in 2008-2010, even before the Department 6 action was filed in 2011Executive Management v. Ticor Title Ins.

    Having failed to file the required compulsory counterclaim, the Department 6 and 1actions may not now be joined.

    d. Crocketts Adam s Cited Cases do Not Support StayAll four (4) cases cited by the Crocketts and A dams are distinguishab le from the District Cou

    action. In the cited case of Tonnemacher, the dispute centered on an abatement claim for a case in stacourt and another case in federal court. The lower cou rt did not enter any stay because the defendandid not mov e to seek a stay, and the superior court mad e no ruling on a stay. Tonnemacher v. ToucRoss Company, 186 Ariz. 126, 920 P.2d 5 (1996 ). In the cited case of Landis the court pointed othat the facts have now been settled by stipulation and also a decision was expected withinreasonable time. The court of appeals was reversed, and the order of the district court was vaca ted, athe case was remanded to determine the motion for a stay, which was not yet entered. Landis v. NoAmerican Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254-55 (1936). In the cited case o f Mikulich the court stated: Where twcauses of action against same defendants arising out of same accident were tried jointly, extent dam ages and recovery w ere entirely independent issues in each action, even if issues of law and fawere identical. Even in Miku/ich, with identical parties, identical facts, two (2) different verdicts werendered: Not only were there two separate verdicts, but two separate judgments. Id. No stay w

In the cited case of Maheu the court pointed out that the appeal was basesolely, with the court's calendaring of the pending motions. Id. at 217. Maheu v. Eighth JudiciDistrict Court 89 Nev. 214, 510 P.2d 627 (1973).

    All of the Crocketts' and O'M aras' cited cases are distinguished from the D istrict Court case ando not su pport a stay in the District Court action.

    e. Crocketts & O'M aras Failed to Identify any Com mon L iability, Damages, Question oLaw, Q uestion of Fact or TimeWh ile the Crocketts and O'Maras argued four cases supported their motion to stay, above cited

    they failed to correlate any cited case with the D istrict Court action. More important, the Crocketts anO'Maras listed no common liability, common parties, common damages, common question of lawcommonality of time , nor common question of fact. Lacking any such analogy this case idistinguishable from those four (4) cases cited by the Crocketts and O'Maras.

    Falsified Order R egarding False Allegations of Frivolous at HearingAt a Hearing on November 8, 2011, on Petitioners retitled EX PART E MOTION FO

    TEMPORARY REST RAINING ORDER AND PREL IMINARY INJUNCTION'', the DistriCourt stated three (3) times that Petitioners' motion was not frivolous. The District Coustated:

    1) ...and I don't know that the motions up to this point in time are frivolous... ; 2) I'mnot going to hold that, you know, this desire to file an injunctive relief trying to stop thsale of the property is frivolous... ; and, 3) So anyway, I wouldn't say that this ifrivolous, but it's just not something that can be granted. 19The Crocketts and O'Maras stated in the Proposed Order: That the motion filed for

    protective order was frivolous... 2 This statement was dishonest and was a fraud upon thcourt. The District Court signed the falsified Proposed Order and included the statement: 7That the motion filed for a protective order was frivolous... 21

    The Crock etts' and O'M aras' claim to the D istrict Court that Petitioners' motion w afrivolous was an outright lie, and was done for a reason, to assist the O'Maras in obtaining aorder for attorney fees based on a frivolous pleading argument, pursuant to, without limitationNRS 7.085.

    The Crocketts and O Maras falsely claimed that Petitioners were evicted from thGreenwich hom e by the Justice Court. How ever, Victoria A. Crockett, O'Maras' own clientestified in the District Court action that Petitioners were not evicted. And the Justice Coustated that defendants were not ev icted.' One of the main issues of the action at bar is that thCrocketts had contracted with Mr. Sunde for a lifetime leasehold for the Greenwich hom e. ThCrocketts admitted this lifetime leasehold during the Hearing of September 20, 2011. But thCrocketts and O 'Maras persisted in repeatedly falsifying this claim of eviction, for the purposof showing Petitioners no longer had a viable claim of breach of contract for lifetime leaseholfor the Greenwich home, to v itiate Petitioners breach of contract damages for the terminatioof Petitioners' contracted lifetime estate in the Greenw ich hom e.

    In the Proposed Order' the Crocketts and O'Maras lied and falsely alleged:7. That after being served with a notice of eviction, Mr. and M rs. Sunde did not contethe notice of eviction in the Reno Justice Court that has exclusive jurisdiction of landlorand tenant issues and the Reno Justice Court ordered the eviction of Mr. and MrsSunde. 6

    In truth, Petitioners did in fact contest the eviction and O Maras own client, Victoria ACrockett, even removed the eviction request at the Justice Court Hearing. Victoria A. Crocketestified that the eviction request was removed :

    We are not obviously now attempting to evict because payment has been made.They called the hearing. What we asking for is to have them pay us directlyinstead of the mortgage so we can follow paym ent.The Justice Court ruled that this was not an eviction action as falsely claimed by the O 'Maras

    Well, after reviewing the Lease Agreement and hearing testimony, Mr. And Mrs.Sunde, I'm going to find in favor of the Crocketts for the limited purpose of theamoun t of the rent and where it should be paid. [Emphasis added].

    The purpose of these lies and dishonesty by the Crocketts and O'Maras is because Victoria ACrockett had testified at the September 20, 2011, hearing that the Crocketts had contracted withMr. Sunde for a lifetime leasehold for the Greenwich home.' Victoria Crockett testified:

    Q W as it contemplated between you and your father that he would live in thathouse for the rest of his life if he chose to?A: Yes.Q I'm sorry?A Yes.

    The C rocketts and O'Maras are attempting to show that Petitioners were the cause of theivoluntarily vacating the Greenwich home rented by the Crocketts to Mr. Sunde for 10 years, home Mr. Sunde invested over $224,000. to remodel, done by Mr. Sunde based on multiplpromises of a lifetime leasehold for said home. The C rocketts are attempting to show thaPetitioners abandoned their lifetime estate voluntarily, when in truth the only reason defendanleft said home was due to the Crocketts' illegal eviction attempt and unlawful lockout actionsin violation to the lifetime leasehold given to Mr. Sunde. First, the Crocke tts filed an evictionotice against Petitioners.' When that was unsuccessful, as Petitioners had in truth paid thrent, the Crocketts filed a No-Cause Termination Notice to Vacate.' The Crocketts followethat with an unlawful lockout on Janua ry 25, 2011, Mr. Sunde's 68th birthday, preventindefendants access to their home.' These actions may certainly not be construed as "voluntary"leaving by Petitioners as repeatedly and falsely alleged by the Crocketts and 0' Maras.

    Victoria A. Crockett lied repeatedly and falsely claimed that defendants abandoned thGreenwich home voluntarily so many times, she cannot now testify honestly. VictoriCrockett's statements, without limitation include: "We did not remove him from the house""Again, we did not remove him. We got a call from a neighbor that saw a truck unloading stufrom the house." 4 "We never filed an eviction."' "So it's your testimony that he voluntarilleft the house? A "Y es." id.

    But in apparent moments of confusion Victoria Crockett also admitted: I filed an evictionotice in December... and we also filed a no-fault end of lease letting him know that we woulnot continue the lease after February 28th, 2011. 36 Nevertheless, the Crocketts attempted targue voluntary leaving by Petitioners to vitiate their damages for the termination of Petitionerscontracted lifetime leasehold in the Greenw ich home.

    As far back as the hearing of February 4, 2011, the Crocketts and O'Maras havmisrepresented the truth and lied in this action. At that Hearing the C rocketts and O'Marastated: It wasn't a life estate for life, and he was never promised to be able to stay there.O'Maras' own clients testified that Petitioners were given a lifetime lease, but their ownattorney argued the opposite.

    Therefore, the Crocketts and O'Maras lied in claiming: 1) defendants did not contest thnotice of eviction; and, 2) the Reno Justice Court ordered the eviction of Mr. and M rs. SundeThe Sundes contested the eviction, Exhibit 4, and no eviction was ordered as falsely alleged bthe Crocketts and O'Maras.

    In clear violation of law, the District Court has repeatedly ordered attorney fees be paid bPetitioners. The District Court on March 3, 2011, again in a clear sign of corruption and collusionordered attorney fees for a motion under which attorney fees were based on a lease ag reement betw eePetitioners and the Crocketts. The lease allowed attorney fees to the prevailing party. 8

    Following a hearing, the Crocketts and O 'Maras filed Plaintiffs' Motion For A ttorney Fees?' Thmotion sought attorney fees and costs in the amount of $4,047.50. Id. Said motion only cited NRC54(d) and a single case referencing their reasonable argument. Id.

    However, NRCP 54 d) is only applicable to judgments. And there still is no judgment in thDistrict Court action. Rule 54(d) states:

    (C) Exceptions. Subparagraphs (A)-(B) do not apply to claims for fees andexpenses as sanctions pursuant to a rule or statute, or when the applicablesubstantive law requires attorney fees to be proved at trial as an dement ofdamages.Rule 54 requires there to be an underlying final judgm ent , which the District Court case ilacking. The very definition of judgment, includes a decree and any order from wh ich aappeal lies. As the District Court's order is not a final order it is not appealable. Thereforethe District Court's Order is not a judgment. Furthermore, this court has consistently held tha party cannot be a 'prevailing party' where the action has no t proceeded to judgment. Dimiv. Dimick 112 Nev. 402,915 P.2d 254 (1996) citing, Works v. Kuhn {112 Nev.405} 103 Ne65, 68, 732 P.2d 1373, 1375-76 (1987).

    Petitioners filed an opposition to the motion for attorney fees. The Crocketts anO'Maras filed a reply.' The District Court entered its Order Granting Motion For Attorney Feeon March 3, 2011. 4 In that Order, District Court Judge Steven P. Elliott stated: ...nonethe lessnot a single argument advanced by Defendants warrants the denial of Plaintiffs' Motion. Tbegin with, Defendants argue that NRCP 65 does not provide for an award of attorneys' fees;however, as the District Court noted above, the District Court based the award of attorney' feeon the terms of the lease agreement, not N RCP 65.... Finally, as it relates to NRCP 54, the rumerely governs the procedure for obtaining a judgment and an award of attorneys fees.Now here in the rule does it require that a judgment be obtained before seeking an award attorneys' fees as Defendants apparently contend. Id.

    Petitioner reminded the District Court that our recent pleading was denied because wfailed to cite an applicable rule or statute. But District Court Judge S teven P.

    attorneys William M. O'Mara and David C. O'Mara. Disbarment of all three (3) attorneys more than appropriate as this conspiracy may have been in p lace for as long as 10 years. .E. DAVID WILLIAM O'MARA HAVE VIOLATED NEVADA RULES O

    PROFESSIONAL CONDUCTDefendan ts allege that David William O'Mara have violated Rule 8.4, Misconduct o

    the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule 8.4 states as follows:It is professional misconduct for a lawyer to:(a) Violate or attempt to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct, knowingly assist oinduce another to do so, or do so through the acts of another;(b) Commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyers' honesty, trustworthinesor f fitness as a lawyer in other respects;c) Engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation;d) Engage in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice;e) State or imply an ability to influence improperly a government agency or official oto achieve results y means that violate the Rules of Professional Conduct or other lawor knowingly assist a judge or judicial officer in conduct that is a violation of applicabrules of judicial conduct or other law.

    By their actions in falsifying the proposed order of December22, 2011, followed bactions of collusion with the District Court, the O'Maras have violated sections (a) - (f) of thRules of professional Conduct. Defendants believe and therefore allege that the O Maramisconduct alleged and proven herein are disbarable offenses.

    Whenever allegation is made that an attorney has violated his moral and ethicresponsibility, an important question of professional ethics is raised; it is the duty of this Couto examine the charge, since it is this Court which is authorized to supervise the conduct members of its bar. Erickson v. Newman Corp. 7 F.3d 298 (1996).

    This Court, as well as state bar, have responsibility under Nevada law to maintain publconfidence in the legal profession; this means that this Court may disqualify an attorney for nonly acting improperly but also for failing to avoid appearance of impropriety.

    a O Mara H as Gouged His Clients By Running Their BillsO'Mara has run his clients bills in this action to over 100,000. And O'Mara gouged and sto

    from his clients by first filing many contradictory pleadings, so as to fraudulently bill his clients prioto filing of the motion to stay. O Mara filed 119 document requests, a motion for sum mary judgm ena motion to w aive attorney client privilege and, finally, the motion to stay. Such dishone sty by O Mamust not be laid at our doorstep by the rendering of any adverse order against Defendants by the DistricCourt.

    The entire purpose of the motion to stay, is to once again obfuscate Defendants discovery efforand to sidestep four (4) Orders of the District Court to produce documents requested by DefendantsOver 400 da ys into the discovery process and P laintiffs have yet to fulfill their requirements as orderby the D istrict Court.

    O Mara has run u p his billings to his clients, a very substantial bill remains unpaid, and O Maseeks to stall this case to allow his clients to continue their monthly pay men ts of his billings.

O'Mara provided no relationshbetween the 6 causes o f action and this case, nor did he even list those 6 claims so as to determine arelationship to this case.

    Firstly, defendants remind the District Court that the Department 6 action was filed in April 201How ever, O'Mara filed the complaint in this action on January 28, 2011. The 6 causes of action wefiled in the Department 6 action over 2 years ag o, substantially prior to O 'Mara filing the complaintthis action. In filing this action, O'Mara represented to the D istrict Court that this action was filed onafter an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances; that it was no t presented for improper purpose to cause unn ecessary delay or nee dless increase in the cost of litigation; that the claims, defenses aother legal contentions were warranted by existing law; that the allegations and other factucontentions have evidentiary support. NRCP 11. O Mara failed to perform any rudimentary dudiligence prior to filing this action. It was only about how much money the O'Maras could bill theclients. It was just about money. The O 'Maras violated virtually every section of Rule 11 and sanctiomust be ordered. Failure to order sanctions can only be explained by bias and prejudice againDefendants.

    O'Mara also claims that This is the first extension requested, and in made in good faith and nfor purposes of delay. In this false claim alone, O'Mara lied 2 times. He lied in claiming the motiwas filed in good faith. O'Mara lied in claiming the referenced m otion in not for the purpose of delaIt has been proven beyond question that most everything O'M ara has done in this case is for the purpoof delay, and O'Mara virtually never acts in good faith. The proof, the actions of O'Mara, the pleadinspeak for themselves. The District Court is fully aware of O'Mara's dishonesty and failure to act in gofaith, but as yet has refused to comply with the law and sanction O'Mara.

    O'Mara claimed in the District Court on num erous occasions that the department 6 action was nrelevant to this action. In fact, the District Court also stated the department 6 action is not relative this action.

    O'Mara claimed, The Courts and the parties should not have to litigate what is essentially ocase in two different courts if Mr. Sunde's relief is granted by the Nevada Suprem e Court. But O'Mis the one that filed this as a separate action, by said filing he claimed this action was a distinctdifferent case, with different proof, different facts in support of their allegations and defenses tdefendants' counterclaim. But now he claims it is the same case.

    So, was O 'Mara lying then or is he lying now ? Rule 11 sanctions must be ordered against O'Maras.

    O'Mara is stalling this action solely for the purposes of extending the time to complete this actito allow plaintiffs to pay their seriously delinquent billings to O'Mara, to deny justice to defendants ato obfuscate his discovery obligations under law.

    O'Mara has turned this case into a circus with his lies. Defendants have recently filed a copyour reply brief in the appeal of the Department 6 action, proving O'M ara lied to the Nevada SupremCourt 20 or 3 0 times. An attorney who lies to the District Court and the N evada Supreme Court often as O'Mara, has an obvious deficiency in his mental acuity. We therefore, request the DistriCourt order a mental examination of David O'Mara and submit a request to the Nevada Supreme Coand State Bar of Nevada recommending disbarment of David O'M ara and William O'Mara.

    NRCP Rule 11 mandates that pleadings and motions must contain allegations and factuacontentions which have evidentiary support, and claims and legal arguments must b

    warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument. NR CP Rule 11(b)(2)(3). ThO'Maras and Judge Elliott have defrauded the en tire legal system by the filing and signing pleadings, papers, they have certified as being factual, accurate and truthful. Rule 11(b) and

    it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessadelay or needless increase in the cost of litigation. Rule 11(b)(1). And pursuant to Rule 11(cdefendants' requested sanctions, costs and attorney fees must be awarded against the attorneyand law firm. Naimo v. Fleming 95 Nev. 13, 588 P.2d 1025 (1979); Morrow v. Beach CiLLC 991 P.2d 982 (2000); Bergman v. Boyce 109 Nev. 670, 856 P.2d 560 (1993).

    The plain language of NRS 7.085 specifically requires the issuance of sanctions anattorney fees in this action due to the abuses of the litigation process in this action, dishonestand collusion engaged by the O'Maras and Judge Elliott. NRS 7 .085 independently from Ru11 requires this Court to issues sanctions, costs and attorney fees against plaintiffs' and theattorneys, the O'Maras and Judge Elliott.

    The O'Maras, Plaintiffs and Judge Elliott certainly cannot argue that their misconduct acollusion were well-grounded in fact or law, when in fact their conduct was a fraud upon tentire court system. This Court must order sanctions attorney fees and costs against thO'Maras, plaintiffs and Judge Elliott.

    CONCLUSIONFor all the reasons stated above, this Court should grant the Petition and issue a writ

    mandamus or prohibition. Even though the Petitioners have extremely limited legal expertior experience, They have m ade every effort to follow the rules of this Court. The criminconduct proven herein cries out for justice, not picking apart every rule to find an excuse fdenying the enclosed application for writ protection. Petitioners demand justice,

    RENO NEVAD A TUESDAY NOVEM BER 8 2011 8:30 A.M.

    THE COURT:OURT: Now, this matter is in the case:rockett versus Sunde, and initially, it was filed as

    6 a motion for writ of prohibition, and then the defendants7 had this other document -- of course, it s on the8 bottom -- the ex parte motion to amend motion for writ of9 prohibition to be retitled ex parte motion for temporary10 restraining order and preliminary injunction. And 111 would say that what we're here for is probably2 preliminary injunction. I think that that is the proper3 thing.

    The Sundes are seeking to prevent the sale of

    5 the residence, and it's really an injunctive relief6 matter rather than a writ of prohibition. I just think7 it was incorrectly made, and then we can go from there.8 So, Mr. Sunde, I see you're here representin

    19 yourself; is that correct?20R. SUNDE: Yes, sir, Your Honor. Yes, sir,21 Your Honor. we've been unable to be in touch with our22 lawyer, and all of a sudden, he shows up today. We had23 some planning conferences and so forth, so not knowing

    4 what to expect, I had no choice but to substitute myselfPeggy Hoogs Associates

    MR. O MARA: Your Honor, proof of that

    4 document is in our pleadings, so if the Court wishes to5 look at Exhibit 1 to our answer to this, it s already in6 there

    THE COURT: Well, it would appear that ifthat is true, that the issue is moot, that the sale hasalready taken place. Primarily, I would say that the

    10 injunct ive relief is not appropriate property for the11 reasons I ve just gone over.12 Now, with regard to future motions,13 understand the issue that the Crocketts don t want to14 have additional legal expenses while the issue of their15 motion to strike and dismiss are pending. And, you know,16 I understand your desire to, you know, hold down legal17 expenses18 What Mr. Sunde is claiming is that there s a19 16.1 violation, that somehow the 16.is due, and that20 you re in violation of that. And I haven t considered

    21 that issue. I suppose I don t know that somebody can,22 you know, not be able to present that issue. So I m not

    4 victorious on this matter. I'm not going to hold that,5 you know, this desire to file an injunctive relief trying6 to stop the sale of the property is frivolous, but atleast it doesn't seem to bear something that the Court

    8 could reasonably be expected to grant when there's not a9 claim of the title, at least that's my understanding at

    10 the law. So anyway, I wouldn't say that this is11 frivolous, but it's just not something that can be12 granted. Its inappropriate for injunctive relief.

    Inc. V. Second Judicial District Court, 103 Nev. 473, 745 P.2d2 7 00 (1987).

    7.hat after being served with a notice of eviction, Mr.4 and Mrs. Sunde did not contest the notice of eviction in the5 Reno justice Court that has exclusive jurisdiction of landlord6 and tenant issues and the Reno Justice Court ordered the7 eviction of Mr. and Mrs. Sunde.

    8.hat on or about October 25, 2011, the property in9ilquestion in this matter was sold by Mr. and Mrs. Crockett toSandra Brooke.That this Court refrains from making findings of other

    12 facts as this matter is continuing and the Court will make3 appropriate findings at the end of the case, when all of the14 evidence has been presented.

    CONCLUSIONS OF LAW6hat the change of name of the writ of prohibition was9.1.7 made by Defendants under MRCP 15 and accepted by this Court.

    hat the purpose of injunctive relief is. to maintain19 the status quo at the time of the hearing pending court20 determination. All Minerals Corp. V. Kunkle 105 Nev. 835, 837-1 38, 784 P.2d 2, 4 (1989).22hat the status quo is proper if "injury to the moving.party (Mr. and Mrs. Sunde) will be immediate, certain and great24 if it is denied, while the loss of inconvenience to the opposing25 party will be comparatively small and insignificant if it is26 granted." Rhodes Mining Co. vs. Belleville Placer Mining Co. 3227 Nev. 230, 239, 106 P.2d 561, 563 (1910). Mr. and Ms. Sunde are28 claiming their rights under a lease and Mr. and Ms. Crockett

    sold the property prior to the hearing. Therefore, the harm is211not immediate, certain and/or great, since Mr. and Mrs. Sunde

    can exercise their lease rights if, and only if, their lease isdistill valid - a question which this court is not willing or

    capable of deciding at this time.6r. and Mrs. Sunde are not entitled to reconsideration7, of the court's decision to cancel the us pendens.Reconsideration of motions is proper if the district judge to91Iwhom the first motion was made consents to a rehearing.10 Harvey s Wagon Wheel, Inc. v. MacSween, 96 Nev. 215, 217 (1980).11 Additionally, under District Court Rule 13(7) "No motion once12 heard and disposed of shall be renewed in the same cause, nor

    4

    3 shall the same matters therein embraced be reheard, unless by14 leave of the court granted upon motion therefor, after notice of5 such motion to the adverse parties." Here, Mr. and Mrs. Sunde6 did not file a motion for leave to file a motion for7 reconsideration. Thus, such a request now is denied.
