Google "Nevada civil procedure" to start your trip down that rabbit hole.
Specifically, I was interested in whether or not a Default Judgment could be declared on the grounds of failure to appear and defend as of the time that summons of the unfiled case is completed. Obviously, they would have to file the case (at some point) in order to actually get a Default Judgment...but I would think that would restart the clock on filing a response and wouldn't the Plaintiff have to somehow notify the Defendant(s) that the case had actually been filed now?
