Preferred Equities Corp. v. State Engineer

OPINION1

This is an appeal from a district court order denying a petition for judicial review of State Engineer Ruling No. 4499,2 which rejected appellant Preferred Equities Corporation’s (PEC) application to change the diversion point and usage of certain water rights it held in Nye County, Nevada. We affirm the district court’s order denying PEC’s petition for judicial review. Although the district court improperly ruled that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to hear PEC’s appeal of Ruling No. 4499, we conclude that the district court properly denied relief on mootness grounds.

FACTUAL…
