Mass Land Acquisition, LLC v. The First Judicial District Court of the State

Held that the Nevada Constitution’s provision prohibiting the use of eminent domain to transfer property “from one private party to another private party” did not preclude an investor-owned public utility from exercising its delegated power of eminent domain to take an easement across a property for an intrastate natural gas distribution pipeline. Also held that the landowner lacked any right to a jury trial on the issue in question because there was no genuine issue of material fact.
