David Charles RADONSKI, Petitioner, v. The JUSTICE COURT OF SPARKS TOWNSHIP, IN AND FOR the COUNTY OF WASHOE; and the Honorable Jessica L. Longley, Justice of the Peace, Respondents, The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the amount of bail set in the justice court. The records before this court indicate that a preliminary hearing was scheduled for October 8, 2018. The publicly available docket entries for the Second Judicial District Court indicate that petitioner has been bound over to the district court and is scheduled to be arraigned on October 23, 2018. See https://www.washoecourts.com/Query/CaseInformation/CR18-1731. Because the matter of bail may be reconsidered in the district court, we deny the petition as moot. See Martinez-Hernandez v. State, 132 Nev., Op. 61, 380 P.3d 861 (2016) (“Cases presenting real controversies at the time of their institution may become moot by the happening of subsequent events.”); see also Binegar v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 112 Nev. 544, 548-49, 915 P.2d 889, 892 (1996) (recognizing that an exception to the mootness doctrine for cases which are capable of repetition, yet evading review).1 Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
