V. MEMORANDUM OF POINTS & AUTHORITIES
================================================================

1. INTRODUCTION
   Summary judgment is appropriate because there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and [Moving Party] is entitled to judgment as a matter of law on [identify claim(s)/defense(s)]. The undisputed evidence establishes that [succinct one-sentence thesis].

2. STATEMENT OF UNDISPUTED MATERIAL FACTS
   Pursuant to NRCP 56(c)(1)(A), the following facts are undisputed. Each fact is supported by citation to admissible evidence in the concurrently-filed Appendix of Exhibits (“Ex. __”) and responsive pinpoint citation:

3. [Fact No. 1]. (Ex. , ¶)

4. [Fact No. 2]. (Ex. , at :__)
5. …
   n. [Fact No. n]. (Ex. , ¶)

[// GUIDANCE: Number every fact separately; avoid compound facts. Attach declarations, deposition excerpts, or authenticated documents as “Exhibits” in a consecutively-paginated appendix per NRCP 10(e).]

3. PROCEDURAL POSTURE
   • Complaint filed: [date];
   • Answer filed: [date];
   • Discovery closed: [date per Scheduling Order];
   • [Outline any substantive prior rulings germane to the motion.]

4. LEGAL STANDARD (NRCP 56)
   Under NRCP 56(a), “[t]he court shall grant summary judgment if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” The moving party bears the initial burden of production; if satisfied, the burden shifts to the non-movant to “set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.” NRCP 56(c)(1)(B), (e).

5. ARGUMENT
   5.1 Claim One – [e.g., Breach of Contract]
   a. Material Term & Performance. [Quote contractual provision; cite Ex. ]
   b. Breach. [Explain undisputed evidence.]
   c. Damages. [Provide calculation—Ex. .]
   Therefore, each element is met and no triable issue exists.

5.2 Claim Two – [e.g., Negligence]
5.2.1 Duty & Breach
5.2.2 Causation & Damages
[Explain why evidence negates duty/breach OR proves elements.]

5.3 Affirmative Defenses
[Demonstrate why undisputed facts defeat opponent’s defenses under NRCP 56.]

[// GUIDANCE: Mirror the exact elements recognized under Nevada law; place each element in a sub-heading; directly correlate each to Undisputed Fact ¶ __.]

6. CONCLUSION & PRAYER FOR RELIEF
   For the foregoing reasons, [Moving Party] respectfully requests that the Court:

A. Grant this Motion and enter judgment in favor of [Moving Party] on [claims];
B. Dismiss with prejudice [Opposing Party]’s [counter-/cross-]claims;
C. Award costs pursuant to NRS 18.020 and fees under [fee-shifting statute/contract]; and
D. Grant such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.
