Narrative Opinion Summary

In Case 83580, the petitioner sought relief from the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada through an original civil proceeding for a writ of mandamus. The petition was filed on October 6, 2021, accompanied by three appendices. The Supreme Court of Nevada, upon review, denied the petition for the writ of mandamus on October 22, 2021, effectively rejecting the petitioner's appeal for judicial intervention. The procedural closure of the case was formally documented on November 16, 2021, with the issuance of a notice in lieu of remittitur, marking the end of proceedings. Legal representation for the petitioner was provided by Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn, Dial, LLC, whereas the respondents were represented by attorneys from Hayes Wakayama and Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, LLP. The case was processed through Nevada's Appellate Case Management System, with official records accessible via the Clerk’s Office. The decision reflects the court's discretion in denying extraordinary relief absent compelling justification.
