Salazar (Antonio) v. Dist. Ct. (State)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court denied Antonio Salazar’s petition for a writ of mandamus (or prohibition) challenging the district court’s denial of a pretrial habeas corpus petition and motion to reduce bail. The Court held that the petition did not demonstrate a manifest abuse of discretion and that a challenge to identification evidence at the preliminary hearing is not a purely legal issue suitable for mandamus review.
