Justice Mark Gibbons has recused himself from participation in determining the outcome of the petition for writ filed by Judge Elizabeth Halverson. Halverson had requested Gibbons be disqualified following the justice's disclosure of conversations he has had related to the pending issues.

As reported here last week, Nevada Supreme Court Justice Mark Gibbons had disclosed in a court filing conversations he had had with court personnel regarding issues relating to Judge Elizabeth Halverson. Yesterday, Halverson moved to disqualify Gibbons from sitting on her pending case before the high court.
Since Halverson challenges the authority of a chief judge to make case assignments, and since Gibbons disclosed that he had suggested that Halverson’s docket could be restricted to civil cases, the move is not surprising.
Supreme Court Justice Micharl Cherry had already recused himself from involvement in the case.

Charles Dickens would be happy to see AB 575, which repeals NRS 425.100, a statute authorizing counties to create “workhouses for the accommodation or employment of such indigents as may, from time to time, become a county charge.” maybe the state isn't full of Scrooges, after all.
