extraordinary relief is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). This court generally will not consider writ petitions challenging district court orders denying motions to dismiss, unless no factual dispute exists and the district court was obligated to dismiss the action pursuant to clear authority or if an important issue of law needs clarification. Int'l Game Tech., 124 Nev. at 197-98, 179 P.3d at 558-59. Having considered the petition and appendix, we conclude that petitioner has not met her burden of demonstrating that the district court was required to dismiss the pending action. See id.; Pan, 120 Nev. at 228, 88 P.3d at 844. In particular, the district court specifically found that both parties contributed to the delay in this action. While petitioner asserts that this finding was improper, she failed to meet her burden of providing this court with all of the documentary evidence necessary for this court's review of that decision, such as real party in interest's opposition to the motion to show cause why the case should not be dismissed and any reply thereto. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (requiring a petitioner seeking writ relief to provide this court with any "parts of the record before the respondent judge . . . that may be essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition"). Accordingly, we deny the petition. See NRAP 21(b)(1); Smith, 107 Nev. at 677, 818 P.2d at 851. It is so ORDERED. I Hardesty — ' J.
