Anyone know what the procedure might be in Nevada for an interim successor to Sen. Crazypants?

"Ensign’s imminent resignation is a major boost to Republicans, who expected a competitive 2012 open-seat race between Reps. Dean Heller (R) and Shelley Berkley (D), who are already running.
"Nevada law dictates that Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) must appoint a successor to fill the vacancy who will serve out the rest of Ensign's term through 2012.
Nevada Republicans expect Sandoval to pick Heller because it gives the Congressman a leg up next year and the ability to essentially run as an incumbent."
