Sanchez v. State, Dept. of Corrections

 Nev. 746, 753, 219 P.3d 1276, 1281 (2009) (recognizing that summary
judgment is an adjudication on the merits). Thus, even if we were to
conclude that appellant's complaint in this case stated a viable cause of
action, he would be precluded from pursuing it in district court on
remand.' See Five Star Capital Corp. v. Ruby, 124 Nev. 1048, 1055, 194
P.3d 709, 713-14 (2008) (recognizing that the doctrine of issue preclusion
prevents parties from relitigating a specific issue that has already been
decided on its merits). Accordingly, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
