Hughes v. Dist. Ct. (Johnson)
Hughes v. Dist. Ct. (Johnson)
Opinion
Here, petitioner again seeks disqualification of the district court judge assigned to his case, the same relief he previously sought in Hughes v. District Court (Johnson), Docket No. 65150 (order denying petition filed April 11, 2014). But as in Docket No. 65150, petitioner's appendix provides no indication that he filed an appropriate motion under NRS 1.235 to disqualify the district court judge in the district court or that any such motion, if filed, has been denied or otherwise ruled on. We remind petitioner that, when seeking to disqualify a district court judge, he must first file a motion to disqualify the judge in the district court that "specifi[es] the facts upon which the disqualification is sought" and not merely a peremptory challenge. NRS 1.235(1). Without doing so, we have no cause to consider a petition for extraordinary writ relief because the district court has not considered such a motion and has not entered an order denying such a motion. Thus, as before, we conclude that petitioner has not demonstrated that our intervention by way of extraordinary relief is warranted. NRAP 21(a)(4); Pan, 120 Nev. at 228, 88 P.3d at 844; see also NR.AP 21(b)(1). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
