Price (anthony) v. Dist. Ct. (state)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court granted a writ of mandamus, holding that NRS 178.425(4) bars a district court from finding a felony defendant competent after a prior incompetency finding without input from the Administrator, and that mandamus is the proper remedy to correct the district court’s abuse of discretion. The Court interpreted the statute de novo and emphasized the plain meaning of its language.
