QUINZALE MASON, Appellant, v. RICHARD A. GAMMICK, FORMER WASHOE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY; CHRISTOPER J. HICKS, AS SUCCESSOR; ZACHARY N. YOUNG, AS DEPUTY; AND TERRENCE P. MCCARTHY, AS DEPUTY, Respondents.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Appellant Quinzale Mason appeals from a district court order dismissing his complaint in an inmate litigation matter. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Patrick Flanagan, Judge.
Citing NRCP 12(b)(5), the district court dismissed Mason's complaint, which requested respondents' removal from office pursuant to NRS .283.440 as well as declaratory and injunctive relief. In particular, the district court determined that Mason's claims failed because there was no factual or legal basis for his underlying allegations that respondents violated certain bond requirements and thereby deprived him of his constitutional rights. This appeal followed.
We have reviewed the documents submitted in this matter, and Mason has presented no arguments challenging the bases relied on by the district court in dismissing his complaint. We therefore necessarily affirm the district court's order dismissing Mason's complaint under NRCP 12(b)(5). See Edwards v. Emperor's Garden Rest., 122 Nev. 317, 330 n.38, 130 P.3d 1280, 1288 n.38 (2006) (explaining that appellate courts need not address issues that are not supported by cogent argument); see also Powell v. Liberty Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 127 Nev. 156, 161 n.3, 252 P.3d 668, 672 n.3 (2011) (providing that arguments not raised on appeal are deemed waived).
It is so ORDERED.
