CITY OF LAS VEGAS, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE ROB BARE, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and JEFFREY BUSH, Real Party in Interest.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the district court's order reversing the real party in interest's convictions for driving under the influence and reckless driving. Petitioner argues that the district court manifestly abused or arbitrarily or capriciously exercised its discretion when it rejected the municipal court's determination that NRS 50.155 was not violated without a factual basis and ordered a reversal without a legal basis. The district courts have final appellate jurisdiction in cases arising in municipal court, Nev. Const. art. 6, § 6; City of Las Vegas v. Carver, 92 Nev. 198, 198, 547 P.2d 688, 688 (1976), and therefore we will only entertain writ petitions to review an appellate decision of the district court under very limited circumstances, see State v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court (Hedland), 116 Nev. 127, 134, 994 P.2d 692, 696-97 (2000). We conclude that those circumstances do not exist here, and we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
