Nevada Code § 119.300

1. The district court in the county in
which any hearing may be held has the power to compel the attendance of
witnesses, the giving of testimony and the production of books and papers as
requested by any subpoena issued by the Administrator.
2. In case of the refusal of any witness
to attend, testify or produce any papers required by such subpoena, the
Administrator may report to the district court in the county in which the
hearing is pending by petition, setting forth:
(a) That due notice has been given of the time
and place of attendance of the witness or the production of the books and
papers;
(b) That the witness has been subpoenaed in the
manner prescribed in this chapter; and
(c) That the witness has failed and refused to
attend or produce the papers required by subpoena before the Administrator in
the cause or proceeding named in the subpoena or has refused to answer
questions propounded to the witness in the course of such hearing, and asking
an order of the court compelling the witness to attend and testify or produce
the books or papers before the Administrator.
3. The court, upon petition of the
Administrator, may enter an order directing the witness to appear before the
court at a time and place to be fixed by the court in such order, the time to
be not more than 10 days from the date of the order, and then and there show cause
why the witness has not attended, testified or produced the books or papers
before the Administrator. A certified copy of the order shall be served upon
the witness. If it appears to the court that the subpoena was regularly issued
by the Administrator, the court may thereupon enter an order that the witness
appear before the Administrator at the time and place fixed in the order and
testify or produce the required books or papers, and upon failure to obey the
order the witness shall be dealt with as for contempt of court.
