The Nevada Supreme Court has held

NRS 7.085 allows a district court to make an attorney personally liable for the attorney fees and costs an opponent incurs when the attorney “[I]ile[s], maintain[s] or defend [s] a civil action . . . [that] is not well-grounded in fact or is not warranted by existing law or by La good faith] argument for changing the existing law.” Here we are asked to determine whether (1) Nevada Rule of Civil Procedure (NRCP) 11 supersedes NRS 7.085, and (2) the district court abused its discretion in sanctioning the law firm under NRS 7.085. We conclude NRCP 11 does not supersede NRS 7.085 because each represents a distinct, independent mechanism for sanctioning attorney misconduct. However, we also conclude the district court abused its discretion in sanctioning the petitioner under NRS 7.085 without making adequate findings. Accordingly, we grant petitioner’s request for a writ of mandamus and direct the district court to vacate the portion of its order making petitioner liable for attorney fees and costs.
