ORDER GRANTING PETITION
This petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district
court order determining that NRS 41A.035 is unconstitutional. We
recently considered a similar district court order in Tam u. Eighth
Judicial District Court, 131 Nev., Adv. Op. 80, 358 P.3d 234 (2015), and
held that NRS 41A.035 is constitutional, applies to medical malpractice
actions, and applies per incident regardless of how many plaintiffs,

defendants, or claims are involved. Based on Tam, we grant the petition
and direct the clerk of this court to issue a writ of mandamus instructing
the district court to vacate the portion of its March 2, 2015, order, entered
in Case No. A-12-655566-C, that declared NRS 41A.035 unconstitutional.
It is so ORDERED.
