ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a
district court order denying a motion to dismiss. Having considered the
petition and its documentation, we are not persuaded that our
extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See Walker v.
Second Judicial Dist. Court, 136 Nev. 678, 683, 476 P.3d 1194, 1198 (2020)
(declining to grant writ relief when a later appeal was available); Pan v.
Eighth Judicial Dist, Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004)
(observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing
such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev.
674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is
ia- i3&90
an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in
determining whether to entertain a writ petition). Generally, we will not
consider writ petitions challenging orders denying motions to dismiss, and
we are not persuaded that any exception. to the general rule applies here.
Int? Game Tech,., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 124 Nev. 193, 197-98,
179 P.3d 556, 558-59 (2008) (discussing writ petitions challenging denials
of motions to dismiss). We therefore
ORDER the petition DENIED.1
