1 Respond/Continuance; Opposition to Motion to Tax Costs Simultaneously Seeking2 Extensions of Time or Continuance to Respond" (hereafter "Plaintiff's First Set of3 Supplemental Motions''). That same day, Plaintiff also filed a document titled "Opposition4 to all Defendant's Motions to Dismiss; Motion to Set Aside or Vacate Order Granting5 Dismissal NRCP 59, NRCP 50; Motion for Reconsideration" (hereafter "Plaintiff's Second Set6 of Supplemental Motions',).789

Subsequently, on December 27, 2011, Defendants WASHOE LEGAL SERVICES andPAUL ELCANO (hereafter "Defendants") filed an Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion forReconsideration and Motion to Set Aside or Vacate Order Granting Dismissal.Contemporaneously therewith, Defendants filed an Opposition to Motion to Tax Costs.

12 Finally, on January 10. 2011, Defendants filed Requests for SubmisSion of Plaintiff's1314

Motions, thereby submitting the matters for the Court's consideration.Although Plaintiff's arguments are unclear, he appears to argue-in his First Set of

15 Supplemental Motions-that his service of Defendants was suff icient based on his16 production of an application for a driver's license by the server, video evidence of the17 service, an edited proof of service with typewritten additions by Plaintiff, and vague18 reference to additional attempts at service. However, this evidence is not substantially19 different from the evidence submitted by Plaintiff in his initial opposition to Defendants'2212223

motion to dismiss, and the evidence does not cure the defects in service noted by theCourt in its Order Granting Motion to Dismiss for Insufficient Process and Other Relief.Likewise, the evidence does not show that the Court's conclusion was clearly erroneous.

Accordingly, to the extent Plaintiff is seeking reconSideration through his motions,24 the Court concludes that Plaintiff's motions must be denied. See NRCP 59; Masonry and25 Title ContractorsAssn ofSo Nev v Jolly Urga & Wirth/ Ltd 113 Nev. 737, 741, 941 P.2d26 486, 489 (1997) (holding that a court may reconsider a previously decided issue if2728 The Court notes that Plaintiff's filings do not conform to District Court rules for such filings. Nonetheless, inthe interest of fairness, the Court will consider the merits of Plaintiff's arguments.

1 substantially different evidence is subsequently introduced or the decision is clearly2 erroneous''). For the same reasons, the evidence advanced by Plaintiff does not meet the3 standard for setting aSide or vacating the Court's dismissal of his Complaint pursuant to4 NRCP 60.5 Although Plaintif f lists additional motions in the titles of his documents, he does not6 actually provide any argument to support those motions. Further, Plaintiff does not789

support any of his arguments with citation to relevant law. Accordingly, the Court mustdismiss the additional Motions brought by Plaintiff in the pleadings at issue. ee NRCP 7(b)(requiring that all pleadings must state with particularity the grounds therefor, and shallset forth the relief or order sought''). Therefore, the Court will issue the following orders:
