OPINION
By the Court,
Maupin, J.:
Georgia Nunez appeals the dismissal of her complaint against respondent, City of North Las Vegas (the “City”), for wrongful termination of her employment as administrator of the North Las Vegas Municipal Court. It appears that the district court, in reliance on our decision in Pittman v. Lower Court Counseling, 110 Nev. 359, 871 P.2d 953 (1994), determined that the City was immune from her suit. We conclude that Pittman was wrongly decided and that the City is not immune from the action filed by Ms. Nunez in the Nevada state court system.
