More details to this question:
In a Nevada breach of contract lawsuit, if a Defendant's "Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction" is denied on 12/19/2013, then what would the filing deadline be for the Answer? Originally, the Summons said 20 days to file an Answer--but that was before the Motion was filed. How can one request for an extension? (Asking from out-of-state)

Most courts will address the deadline for filing an Answer after an unsuccessful Rule 12 Motion in the hearing. If you are the Defendant, you can ask the Court for 20 days from the date of the hearing to prepare your Answer and responsive pleading.
