ORDER DENYING PETITION
This petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the amount of bail set in the justice court. The records before this court indicate that a preliminary hearing was scheduled for October 8, 2018.

State, 132 Nev., Op. 61, 380 P.3d 861 (2016) ("Cases presenting real controversies at the time of their institution may become moot by the happening of subsequent events."); see also Binegar v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 112 Nev. 544, 548-49, 915 P.2d 889, 892 (1996) (recognizing that an exception to the mootness doctrine for cases which are capable of repetition, yet evading review).

If the information in the publicly available domain is in error, petitioner may inform this court of this fact in a petition seeking rehearing. See NRAP 40(c).
