Nevada Supreme Court

Middleton (David) v. Dist. Ct. (Warden) (Death Penalty)

December 8, 2022

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court denied David Middleton's petition for a writ of mandamus challenging the district court's order denying his motion to withdraw exhibits for forensic testing. The Court held that the district court's action was not a manifest abuse of discretion and that Middleton had an adequate legal process to seek a limited remand, rendering the extraordinary writ unwarranted.
