Shirron GAYLES-ZANDERS, Petitioner, v. The EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT of the State of Nevada, IN AND FOR the COUNTY OF CLARK; the Honorable Linda Marie Bell; and Eric Bossi, Stein Forensic Hospital, Respondents, The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI
This is an original petition for a writ of certiorari that appears to challenge a district court order granting the State's motion to forcibly medicate petitioner, as well as challenging the conditions of confinement in the mental health facility where petitioner is currently being treated.
We have reviewed the documents submitted in this matter and we decline to exercise original jurisdiction because petitioner is represented by counsel in the proceedings below, and petitioner should proceed by and through her counsel. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
