Plaintiffs and Defendants in each of the above-styled cases submit the 
following Joint Status Report per the Court’s order. The parties have conferred 
regarding the status of these two cases and submit the following: 
On January 8, 2021, the United States Supreme Court will consider Calvary 
Chapel Dayton Valley’s petition for a writ of certiorari. Due to the immediate 
pendency of that petition, judicial economy, and the injunction issued by the Ninth 
Circuit, the parties jointly ask the Court to stay the above-styled cases pending 
resolution of the petition for writ of certiorari and to order that the injunction of the 
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit remain in effect until further 
ruling by this Court. The parties further agree that they shall file a joint status 
report within seven (7) days of the United States Supreme Court’s ruling on 
Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley’s petition for writ of certiorari, unless otherwise 
ordered by the Court.  
At the December 28, 2020 hearing, counsel for Governor Steve Sisolak 
represented that the State would abide by the Ninth Circuit’s injunction, did not 
expect, based on the Governor’s public statement, any increase in any gathering 
occupancy limit prior to January 15, 2021, but would immediately notify all parties 
and this Court should there be any such change.
