White v. The Eighth Judicial District Court

Summary

The Supreme Court of Nevada denied Kimberly White’s pro se emergency petition for a writ of mandamus arising from interim orders in a custody action. The court found that the petition failed to satisfy multiple requirements of NRAP 21 and NRAP 27, including proper service, identification of real parties in interest, supporting documentation, verification, and required certificates, and denied the petition without prejudice.

Holdings

1. A writ petition that fails to comply with the applicable captioning, service, content, documentation, verification, and certificate requirements cannot be considered by the court.
2. The petition for a writ of mandamus was denied without prejudice to petitioner's ability to file a petition complying with the relevant court rules and statutes.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the emergency petition for a writ of mandamus could be considered when it failed to comply with NRAP 21, NRAP 27(e), and NRS 34.170.
2. Whether the petition should be denied without prejudice because it failed to identify and serve real parties in interest and lacked necessary supporting documents, verification, and required certificates.
