GURRY v. The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest. (2020)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This is a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition seeking an order directing the district court to consider petitioner's motion for bail pending appeal in State v. Gurry, Docket Nos. 79961 and 79962. We decline to intervene in this matter at this time. Petitioner is represented by counsel in the criminal proceedings and should proceed by and through his counsel. Further, in light of our disposition of the appeals in Docket Nos. 79961 and 79962, the motion for bail pending appeal is moot. Thus, petitioner may pursue bail or other release in the normal course. See NRS 178.484; NRS 178.4853; NRS 178.498; see also Valdez-Jimenez v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 136 Nev., Adv. Op. 20, 460 P.3d 976, 984 (2020) (substantive due process mandates that bail be imposed only where necessary to ensure the defendant's appearance or to protect the community). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
