Nevada Code § 706.458

1. The district court in and for the
county in which any investigation or hearing is being conducted by the
Authority pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may compel the attendance
of witnesses, the giving of testimony and the production of books and papers as
required by any subpoena issued by the Authority.
2. If any witness refuses to attend or
testify or produce any papers required by such subpoena the Authority may
report to the district court in and for the county in which the investigation
or 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 in the investigation or
hearing named in the subpoena, or has refused to answer questions propounded to
the witness in the course of such investigation or hearing,
and asking
an order of the court compelling the witness to attend and testify or produce
the books or papers.
3. The court, upon petition of the
Authority, shall 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 or testified or produced the books or papers
before the Authority. A certified copy of the order must be served upon the
witness. If it appears to the court that the subpoena was regularly issued, the
court shall thereupon enter an order that the witness appear 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 must be dealt with as for
contempt of court.
