Inform the defendant that the defendant may file affidavits on the defendant’s behalf with the court and may appear and present testimony on the defendant’s behalf at the hearing, or that the defendant may, at or prior to such hearing, file with the court a written undertaking to stay delivery of the property pursuant to NRS 31.890.
3. Inform the defendant that if the defendant fails to appear, the plaintiff will apply to the court for a writ of possession.
