Q. v. Dist. Ct. (Clark County Dep't. of Family Services)
Opinion
notice that his peremptory challenge had been rejected by the clerk as untimely on August 12, 2015, yet petitioner did not appear at the August status check on the peremptory challenge or otherwise promptly bring the issue before the district court. Although petitioner now argues that he was not properly notified of the August 21 hearing, the record further indicates that petitioner was served with a summons notifying him of the September 2, 2015, adjudicatory plea hearing, and again petitioner did not promptly bring this issue before the court. Rather, petitioner failed to appear at the hearing of September 2, and the district court proceeded to adjudicate the abuse and neglect petition as to petitioner. Once a judge has made a ruling on a contested matter, a peremptory challenge may not be filed. SCR 48.1(5). Under these circumstances, we decline to intervene in this matter and we deny this petition. See Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (stating that a petition for extraordinary writ relief is purely discretionary with this court).
It is so ORDERED.
