Veil v. Bennett
Annotate this CaseActing in their official capacities as Justices of the Peace, Respondents petitioned the district court for a writ of mandamus to compel Sheriff Allen Veil to enter information from all arrest warrants delivered to the Sheriff’s Office into the databases. The district court granted the motion, concluding that Nev. Rev. Stat. 248.100(1)(c), which requires sheriffs to “execute” warrants, imposed on Sheriff Veil a duty to enter warrant information into electronic databases. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that section 248.100(1)(c) neither contemplates nor imposes such a duty on sheriffs.
