Chattah v. District Court (Cegavske)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court denied Sigal Chattah’s petition for writs of mandamus or prohibition challenging the denial of a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in an action concerning a candidate’s qualifications for Nevada Attorney General. The court held that the challenged order was immediately appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(3), providing a speedy and adequate remedy, and noted that Chattah had already filed an appeal.

Holdings

1. The petition for writs of mandamus or prohibition must be denied because Chattah had a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law through an immediate appeal under NRAP 3A(b)(3).

Questions Presented

1. Whether the Supreme Court of Nevada should issue a writ of mandamus or prohibition to review the district court's denial of temporary injunctive relief.
2. Whether the availability of an immediate appeal from an order refusing to grant an injunction constituted a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy that precluded extraordinary writ relief.
