Quinn v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court of Nev.

By the Court, HARDESTY, J.:

In this writ petition, we consider whether a Nevada district court has authority to compel an out-of-state2 attorney to appear in Nevada for a deposition as a nonparty witness in a civil action pending in Nevada state court where the attorney has appeared pro hac vice in the action. We conclude that it does not. Because the district court lacked authority to compel the out-of-state nonparty witnesses to be deposed, we grant the writ petition and vacate the district court's order.
