DANNY ZULUAGA GONZALEZ, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; THE HONORABLE RONALD J. ISRAEL, DISTRICT JUDGE; LAS VEGAS TOWNSHIP JUSTICE COURT, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE JOE BONAVENTURE, Respondents, THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DISMISSING PETITION
This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging a district court order setting bail and imposing conditions of pretrial release. Petitioner Danny Zuluaga Gonzalez argues that the district court committed several errors in entering its order that set bail at $25,000 and imposed conditions of pretrial release should he post bail. It appears, however, that Gonzalez has pleaded guilty, rendering this petition moot. See Valdez-Jimenez v. State, 136 Nev. 155, 158, 460 P.3d 976, 982 (2020) (“[I]ssues concerning bail and pretrial detention become moot once the case is resolved by dismissal, guilty plea, or trial.”).
On April 21, 2023, we ordered Gonzalez to show cause within 30 days why this petition should not be dismissed as moot. Cf. Personhood Nev. v. Bristol, 126 Nev. 599, 606, 245 P.3d 572, 576 (2010) (dismissing an appeal because it was moot). To date, Gonzalez has not responded. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DISMISSED.
