MCDONALD v. Candace McDonald, Real Party in Interest. (2019)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR OTHER EXTRAORDINARY RELIEF

This original, emergency petition for a writ of mandamus or other extraordinary relief challenges the district court's decision to delay hearing a criminal contempt matter pending resolution of criminal charges concerning the same alleged conduct. In particular, petitioner asserts that the delay in hearing the criminal contempt matter violates his rights to a speedy trial.

Having considered the petition and appendices, we are not convinced that our extraordinary intervention is warranted at this time. NRAP 21(b)(1); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 818 P.2d 849 (1991). We note that the criminal trial is scheduled to begin this month, and a status check hearing is set in the contempt matter for next month. Further, petitioner may raise this issue in a challenge to any decision on the contempt matter by which he is aggrieved. Pengilly v. Rancho Santa Fe Homeowners Assn, 116 Nev. 646. 650, 5 P.3d 569, 571 (2000). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
