Case Synopsis
Under NRS 22.030, for a district court to have jurisdiction to hold a party in indirect contempt, they must file either an affidavit or an unsworn declaration of truth to the district court judge.
A court does not manifestly abuse its discretion by making decisions based on undisputed facts, not having an evidentiary hearing, or using a party’s history to justify imposing deadlines and sanctions on a party.
