State, Dep't of Health v. Dist. Ct.

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court denied the Department of Health’s petition for a writ of certiorari or mandamus, holding that the district court had jurisdiction to hold it in indirect civil contempt for failing to accept incompetent defendants for restorative treatment and that the contempt order was not an abuse of discretion. The Court affirmed the lower court’s sanctions and lifted a previously granted stay.
