Aftercare of Clark County v. Justice Court of Las Vegas Township Ex Rel. County of Clark

1DissentGibbons, J.
The district courts did not abuse their discretion in denying the petitions for writs of prohibition or, in the alternative, writs of mandamus.
Pursuant to NRS 73.010, under certain criteria, the justices’ courts may treat actions where the amount claimed does not exceed $5,000 as a small claims action.
