Chapter : CHAPTER 69 - COSTS


      1.  The justice may in all cases require a deposit of money to
cover costs of court before issuing the summons.

      2.  When the plaintiff in an action is a nonresident of the State
of Nevada, or a foreign corporation, upon motion of the opposite party at
any time before final judgment such nonresident shall be required to give
security for all costs and charges that may be awarded against him or it.
When such security shall be required from a nonresident plaintiff all
proceedings in the action shall be stayed until an undertaking executed
by two or more persons and approved by the justice shall be filed with
the justice to the effect that they will pay such costs and charges as
may be awarded against such nonresident plaintiff by judgment or during
the progress of the action. The undertaking shall be in a sum not less
than $100, or in lieu of the undertaking the nonresident plaintiff may
deposit $100 in lawful money with the justice, which shall be held
subject to the conditions mentioned in this section for the undertaking.
When such security shall be ordered from a nonresident plaintiff, it
shall be furnished within 30 days from notice of the order, or upon
failure to furnish such security, judgment shall be entered for the
defendant.

      3.  A new or additional undertaking or deposit of cash may be
ordered by the justice at any time upon proof that the original
undertaking or deposit is insufficient and proceedings stayed for a
nonresident plaintiff until the same be furnished or judgment entered.
After the lapse of 30 days from notice to a nonresident plaintiff that
security has been ordered as required by this subsection and upon proof
that no such undertaking or deposit of cash has been made, the justice
shall enter judgment against such plaintiff.
