Kemp (Ezra) v. Dist. Ct. (State)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court denied Ezra Kemp’s petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to remand Count 3 for a preliminary hearing, holding that the six‑year delay invoked the doctrine of laches and barred relief. The Court applied the three‑factor laches test—delay, waiver, and prejudice—and found the petitionist’s inexcusable delay and unconditional waiver precluded mandamus.
