| 02/21/2003 | Post-Judgment Order | Filed Order/Rehearing Denied. Order Denying Motion for Fees and Costs, Motion for Leave to file Rehearing Petition as Amici Curiae, and Petition for Rehearing. Following publication of our decision by opinion published December 17, 2002, the initiative proponents moved for an award of fees and costs, four nonparty entities moved for leave to file a rehearing petition as amici curiae and Nevada Northwest filed a rehearing petition. We deny each of these requests for relief. We deny the nonparty entities' motion for leave to file a rehearing petition as amici curiae. Allowing amici to file a rehearing petition in this matter would not help us in considering the rehearing petition filed by the real parties in interest. fn6[We direct the clerk of this court to return, unfiled, the rehearing petition submitted provisionally with the motion.] "We deny Nevada Northwest's petition for rehearing." fn7[The Honorable Mark Gibbons, Justice, did not participate in the decision of this matter.] EN BANC | | 03-02938
