Gallegos v. Malco Enterprises of Nevada, Inc., 255 P.3d 1287

Gallegos was injured in a hit-and-run caused by Gonzalez, who rented a Budget car in budget's name.
Gonzalez allegedly carried a supplemental renter's liability insurance policy issued by First American and managed by Knight.
Gallegos obtained a default judgment against Gonzalez for over $400,000 but could not collect because Gonzalez did not appear at judgment debtor exams.
Gallegos sought a judicial assignment of Gonzalez's unasserted claims against respondents, which was granted by an earlier district court.
Gallegos filed a separate action against respondents asserting the assigned claims; respondents moved for summary judgment arguing the assignment was invalid.
The district court granted summary judgment, vacating the assignment; Gallegos appealed.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Whether a judgment debtor's right of action is property subject to judicial assignment.	Gallegos argues the right is assignable under NRS 21.080 and 21.320.	Respondents contend the right cannot be validly assigned in this context and Gallegos lacks standing.	Rights of action of a judgment debtor are property subject to execution and may be judicially assigned.
Whether the district court properly applied the assignment and related statutes (NRS 21.080, 21.320) to validate the assignment.	Gallegos maintains the assignment is valid under the cited statutes.	Respondents argue the assignment was improper and should be vacated.	The district court erred in granting summary judgment; the assignment is permissible under NRS 21.080 and 21.320, and the matter must be remanded for further proceedings.
