When two or more justices are equally entitled, under NRS 4.290, to be deemed the successor in office of the justice, a judge of the district court must, by a certificate subscribed by the judge of the district court and filed in the office of the county clerk, designate which justice is the successor of a justice going out of office, or whose office has become vacant.
