KIMBERLY WHITE, Petitioner, v. THE HONORABLE VINCENT OCHOA, DISTRICT JUDGE; AND THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondents, and TAMIKA B. JONES; MARK MCGANNON; AND CHRISTOPHER C. JUDSON, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This emergency petition for a writ of mandamus challenged several district court orders and rulings in a child custody case.
On December 7, 2022, we entered an order declining to intervene on any of the issues raised by petitioner except for the issue concerning the portion of the September 14, 2022, district court order regarding paternity testing. With regard to the paternity testing issue, we directed petitioner to serve a copy of the petition, appendix, and order on real parties in interest within 7 days, directed real parties in interest to file an answer once served, and temporarily stayed that portion of the order. We further cautioned petitioner that failure to properly serve real parties in interest as directed and to provide timely proof of service to this court would result in the denial of this petition.
To date, petitioner has failed to provide this court with proof of service. Therefore, we vacate the temporary stay imposed on December 7 and
ORDER the petition DENIED,
Gibbons, C.J.
