O'Neal v. Dist. Ct. (Washoe Co. Social Services)

In his petition, petitioner asserts that he was not provided proper notice of the initial hearing regarding the protective custody of his two children. Petitioner was, however, present at a subsequent hearing regarding the protective custody of his children, during which he argued that the district court could not proceed because real party in interest had failed to provide him with proper notice of the initial hearing. This subsequent hearing was then continued to April 1, 2013. As a result, the district court has not yet issued a ruling regarding petitioner's notice argument and this petition is therefore premature. We trust that respondent will address petitioner's arguments regarding the improper notice of the initial hearing at the April 1 hearing. Under these circumstances, we decline to intervene at this time, and therefore, deny the petition. See NRAP 21(b)(1); see also NRS 34.330; Smith, 107 Nev. at 677, 818 P.2d at 851. It is so ORDERED. cc: Jerry L.O. Washoe County District Attorney Washoe District Court Clerk SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 2 (0) 1947A •
